My guest today is Bari Tessler. Bari is a Financial Therapist and the Founder of The Art of Money. She's a pioneer in the financial therapy field and the author of The Art of Money: A Life-Changing Guide to Financial Happiness.

Bari's mission is to merge emotional literacy with financial literacy, to help her clients understand the role money plays in careers, romance, parenting, creativity, spirituality, health, self-worth, and how we show up in the world. This work gives people the power to "unshame" their money stories, whether they're struggling as individuals, couples, or creative entrepreneurs.

In our conversation, Bari and I discuss how her unique practice helps her clients work through so many of the problems that arise around money, the three phases of her financial therapy methodology, and why it's so important that we do away with the taboos around talking about money.
