What if your financial struggles aren’t really about money—but about emotions you’ve never even considered? In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode of Financially Ever After Widowhood, Stacey Francis is joined by Erika Wasserman, one of only 100 certified financial therapists in the U.S. Together, they dive into how fear, overwhelm, shame and even childhood memories can keep you stuck in place financially. Whether you’re recently widowed, divorced, or simply navigating money matters on your own for the first time, this conversation offers hope, practical tools, and a whole new way of thinking about your relationship with money.

You’ll hear them discuss:

How 90% of our financial decisions are driven by emotion, and why understanding this can help you make better choices moving forward
Why your money mindset is shaped by your background, culture, and past experiences—often without you even realising it
What financial paralysis looks like, and how to gently move forward with manageable, confidence-building steps
How feelings of fear, overwhelm and loneliness can stop you from taking action, and what to do when that happens
Why making financial mistakes is completely normal—and how to reframe them as part of your learning journey
How Erika’s simple highlighter method can help you understand your spending habits and make joyful, intentional choices
What a “sunshine fund” is, and how having one can create space for spontaneous joy and generosity
When it might be the right time to work with a financial therapist, especially if you feel emotionally stuck or ashamed about money
