  • Financial Enabling vs Financial Generosity: An Interview with Lindsay Bryan-Podvin

    Financial Enabling vs Financial Generosity: An Interview with Lindsay Bryan-Podvin
    Feb 17 2023
    In this episode, I bring back financial therapist Lindsay Bryan-Podvin. Lindsay is a biracial financial wellness expert, speaker, and author of the book "The Financial Anxiety Solution”. Lindsay uses a shame-free approach to help people get their minds and money in balance by focusing on the intersection of money and mental health using financial therapy.  We dig deep into when do we help people and when do we harm them by giving money, how to know if we are being taken advantage of and what to consider before giving someone money.   “Being an enabler prevents the person from having the natural consequences of their actions.” - Lindsay Bryan-Podvin “When you continue to save people and prevent them from experiencing consequences, it's a way to postpone making a decision” - Melanie Lockert “When we think about enabling, we also think about removing a person's natural ability to learn how to function a bit more independently.” - Lindsay Bryan-Podvin “Financial abuse is the next level, above and beyond just enabling or some dysfunction or some tension. It is really making it so the person cannot financially escape a relationship or situation.” - Lindsay Bryan-Podvin    What You Will Learn From This Episode  ●     The relationship between financial enabling and codependency ●     The difference between financial enabling and financial generosity ●     How enabling can be a part of a dysfunctional dynamic ●     How to set boundaries when you’re from a culture that expects you to support your parents ●     How to set boundaries/expectations on sending money to your family in another country  ●     What to do if your boundaries are met with anger or resentment ●     When is the appropriate time to help out a loved one and what to do if you’re being taken advantage of ●     How can you tell if you’re being truly financially generous   About Lindsay Bryan-Podvin: Lindsay Bryan-Podvin (she/her) is a biracial financial wellness expert, speaker, and author of the book "The Financial Anxiety Solution." A practicing social worker since 2012, she uses a shame-free approach to help people get their minds and money in balance by focusing on the intersection of money and mental health using financial therapy. While financial literacy is important, she champions the belief that money is rooted in emotions and impacted by the systems around us. She has a degree in sociology and a Master’s in Social Work with certificates in Financial Social Work and Financial Therapy. She lives with her partner and their dog on the occupied land of the Fox, Peoria, and Potawatomi peoples, also known as Michigan.  Resources: *Affiliate link          When Helping Hurts: 5 Recommendations For Planners Financial Enabling Clients          When Parents Can’t Say NO: Financial Enabling          To the Limit: Financial Dependency and Enabling          Personal Finance: Family Savings Funds          Inheritance by Race          Migrant Remittances: The Impact of Immigrants Sending Money Back Home          Get Lindsay’s session on how to Transform Your Money Mindset          FreeForm          *The Financial Anxiety Solution by Lindsay Bryan-Podvin   Connect with Lindsay:          Website          Instagram          YouTube          Podcast: Mind Money Balance          Pinterest  Connect with Melanie          mentalhealthandwealth.com          melanielockert.com          Instagram          Support the podcast through Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/melanielockert          Buy Melanie’s book “Dear Debt”          Contact: mentalhealthandwealthshow@gmail.com     Want more content and support?  Sign up for the Mental Hump Newsletter and get our free Mental Health and Money inventory worksheet.

    Connecting Money to the 8 Dimensions of Wellness to Achieve a Healthier, Wealthier, and Happier Life: An Interview with Jason Vitug
    Jan 20 2023
    In today’s episode, I’m bringing back my friend Jason Vitug who is a wellness advocate and best-selling author of two books, ‘Happy Money, Happy Life’ and ‘You Only Live Once’. He's the founder of phroogal.com and is an award-winning creator of the Road to Financial Wellness Project. He is also a certified diversity, equity, and inclusion expert, a certified yoga teacher, and a breathwork specialist. We talk about how money can affect your happiness, the dimensions of wellness that relate to money, and how to achieve a happier life. “When we can use money as a tool, we can then use money to positively affect these different aspects of our being, these eight wellness dimensions (mental health, emotional health, physical, spiritual, social, environmental, occupational, financial).” -Jason Vitug “Money isn't everything, but money impacts most things.” -Jason Vitug What You Will Learn From This Episode The turning point and realizations that made Jason write his second book 'Happy Money Happy Life'What are the components of a happy life (the 8 wellness dimensions), how they are all connected, and how they are affected by moneyThe difference between mental health and emotional healthWhy retail therapy and other coping techniques may actually cause financial distressHow to spend our money to improve our emotional and mental healthWhy money is one of the most important things and yet also one of the least important things in lifeHow can people who tie their self-worth and success with money or work change or stop with that associationWhat is a happy life and how to use our money to get that happy life About Jason Vitug: Jason is a wellness advocate helping a generation achieve a victorious life through health and wealth. He is a bestselling NY Times-reviewed author of two books: ‘Happy Money Happy Life’ and ‘You Only Live Once’. He is the founder of the personal finance website phroogal.com, creator of the Plutus Award-winning Road to Financial Wellness project, and a certified yoga teacher and breathwork specialist. While having professional success, Jason experienced financial distress and personal dissatisfaction. His quest to find a balance between achievements and fulfillment led him to resign from his executive job and backpack through 20 countries in 12 months. In that journey, he realized the importance of holistic well-being, where money isn’t the goal but the tool to achieve the goals. Jason openly shares his problems with credit, the oversized debt, and the spending habits that kept him living paycheck-to-paycheck. He is now living financially well and educates others on achieving financial and career goals without sacrificing life satisfaction.
