  • How to Heal Your Relationship with Money: Constance McConnell, LCSW

    How to Heal Your Relationship with Money: Constance McConnell, LCSW
    Nov 1 2025
    What if the key to financial wellness isn't just about budgets and spreadsheets, but about healing your relationship with money itself? In this episode, Laura Rotter sits down with Constance McConnell, a licensed clinical social worker, certified financial social worker, and financial therapist who specializes in helping people navigate the emotional side of money during major life transitions.Constance shares her journey from being the oldest of four children who creatively funded her own college education to building a successful real estate portfolio with her husband through strategic "house hacking." But more importantly, she reveals how our childhood money stories shape our adult financial behaviors—and how we can rewrite those stories to create healthier relationships with money.This conversation is essential listening for any woman in midlife who feels overwhelmed by money, struggles with financial scarcity despite having "enough," or is navigating a major life transition. Constance's holistic approach reminds us that true wealth isn't just about numbers—it's about achieving balance across all areas of life: financial health, physical health, mental wellbeing, relationships, and time freedom.Constance McConnell, LCSW is a licensed clinical social worker, certified financial social worker, and financial therapist who specializes in helping adults navigate major life transitions and improve their relationship with money. With 13 years of clinical experience, she has worked in school settings, behavioral health, and private practice. Most of her clients are part of historically marginalized communities including BIPOC, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Constance is also an entrepreneur and real estate investor who practices what she preaches about using money as a tool for freedom. She offers virtual therapy, coaching, and psychological evaluations, and is passionate about helping clients develop holistic approaches to wealth and wellbeing.Key Takeaways💡 Your childhood money story shapes your adult relationship with money: How your family talked about (or didn't talk about) money, whether you felt secure or scarce, and what you witnessed growing up profoundly impacts your financial behaviors and beliefs as an adult. Understanding these stories is the first step to healing.💡 Money is a tool, not the goal: Financial security matters, but true wealth includes physical health, mental wellbeing, strong relationships, and time freedom. Using money strategically can free up time for experiences and people you love—that's when money becomes most valuable.💡 Financial scarcity is often psychological, not numerical: Many people who are financially secure on paper still feel like they'll "never have enough." Working through these deep-seated beliefs with a financial therapist can unlock freedom and confidence to actually enjoy your money.Connect with Constance:FacebookLinkedInInstagramWebsiteFree consultation Stay connected:Connect with Laura on LinkedIn@Rotters5 on XConnect with Laura on FacebookSubscribe to my YouTube channelSubscribe to my newsletterGet your free copy of Unlock Your Money Blocks Workbook: Your step-by-step guide to unlocking your blocks to financial freedom.Disclaimer: Please remember that the information shared on this podcast does not constitute accounting, legal, tax, investment or financial advice.

    Oct 4 2025

    In this episode, I speak with Nancy Taylor, founder of Taylor Educational Advocacy, a former school psychologist, and a dedicated coach for parents and families. Nancy shares her powerful midlife reinvention story—from working within the stressful school system to creating her own business that allows her the freedom, balance, and autonomy she values most.

    Nancy opens up about the importance of redefining success as a woman in midlife, shifting from external validation to pursuing autonomy, creativity, and meaningful impact. Her story offers inspiration for women navigating life transitions, whether that’s a new career, an empty nest, or rebuilding after divorce.
