Your Money Has Feelings

Your behaviors, beliefs, and habits around money are holding you back.

Financial confidence is hard to come by. Believe it or not, the solution is rarely more money. For the last three decades, author Shannon Ryan (MSPFP, CFP) has had a front-row seat to the financial lives of hundreds of individuals and families. She's learned that money is emotional--always. Our habits, cultural expectations, past experiences, disappointments, shame, and fears combine to create complicated beliefs that hold us back from satisfying financial lives.

Traditional financial advice assumes that we are rational and that we faultlessly seek to maximize our wealth at every opportunity. Ryan's behavioral approach, on the other hand, recognizes that we act irrationally as the result of psychological biases, emotions, and cognitive errors. This approach empowers you to transform your money mindset and behaviors, overcoming biases to make more informed choices. Your Money Has Feelings helps you make solid money decisions by:

• First identifying you unconscious and behavioral biases around money

• Then, discovering practical techniques for creating a financial life that matches your values, using the tenets of both behavioral and traditional finance

Monetary success is about how we react to financial challenges using the resources we have. Your Money Has Feelings offers you the tools and insights you need to reshape your anxieties, fears, and misconceptions around finances, granting you the agency to change your circumstances and thrive.
