Tweetable Quotes“At the age of thirty-two, I decided to start my own work and that’s when I created my methodology. And my husband said, ‘Oh you’re doing financial therapy.’ He named it, so he’s always been my namer. And I thought, ‘Wow, that’s a great name.’” (17:57)
“Awareness is something that many of us don’t have, or we feel we have too much of, or we have a hyper-vigilance of. And so, how can we start welcoming in a practice like the Body Check-In before, during, and after.” (25:35)
“Money dates can be with yourself. They can be with your spouse or your partner. They can be with your family. Money dates can be five minutes a day at the beginning. It may just be going online to check your balances. Or going online and checking your balances to see the transactions to see if there’s anything funny.” (28:17)
“For me, most of my money decisions are based on time, money, energy, family and health.” (36:33)
