Money Skills For Therapists

174: How to Plan for Your Future Self with James Alexander


Listen Later

What does it really mean to play your own financial game?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by James Alexander, a certified financial planner who brings both heart and math to the world of money. James and I explore the importance of defining your personal version of financial success, and we discuss why comparing yourself to others can pull you away from what actually matters to you.

We talk about how to start with your values and vision, and then build a plan to back into those dreams using both emotional awareness and clear financial strategy. James shares a practical framework for allocating your income (his 20/60/20 rule), and we also talk about the emotional weight of debt, managing motivation, and teaching kids how to understand and use money.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or unsure where to even begin with planning your financial future. This conversation offers both practical advice and deep mindset shifts to help you move forward on your own terms.

Start Feeling Calm and Confident About Your Group Practice Finances

Feeling overworked and underpaid in your group practice? You’re not alone.

Running a group practice can feel like carrying the weight of everyone’s paychecks — including your own — and wondering if it’s all really worth it.
That’s why I created a free guide called “How to Stop Feeling Overworked and Underpaid in Your Group Practice.” Inside, I’ll walk you through the four keys to becoming the confident financial leader your practice needs — so you can start feeling calm and in control of your money again.
This guide is the first step toward the same kind of financial clarity and confidence I teach inside my deeper program, Money Skills for Group Practice Owners.
🙌 Download your free copy today — and let’s start building a group practice that supports you, not just everyone else.
