    Mar 2 2026

    Financial anxiety doesn’t clock out when you do. I’m talking about how financial anxiety at work shapes behavior, from overworking and constantly seeking reassurance, to team tension, to rigid leadership decisions that feel “strategic” but are stress-driven. I’ll share how financial stress and work productivity are connected, what financial anxiety symptoms can look like in individuals, colleagues, and leaders, and how financial wellness at work is already influencing your workplace culture. I’ll also share actionable questions you can use right away to shift from anxiety-based decisions to more intentional, strategic ones.

  • 176: How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed With Money: Self Care by Subtraction
    Dec 1 2025

    Self-care isn’t always about adding more to your skin care routine or journaling regimen; often, it starts with doing less. It's a simple, therapeutic reframe: what if the best thing you can do for your well-being, or your finances, is take something off your plate? If you're craving a low-maintenance life that actually supports your mental and financial health, this is your invitation to try a new and much gentler approach. In this episode, financial therapist Lindsay Bryan-Podvin explores self-care by subtraction. She shares how simplifying your money life can ease burnout, reduce overwhelm, and reconnect with what actually matters.
