Aja Evans, LMHC joins me in today’s episode to talk about her upcoming book on money in therapy—how it shows up in the room, and why it matters for both therapists and clients. We dig into common financial struggles faced by therapists (especially women), gaps in financial education during grad school, and how social media can distort our sense of financial reality. Aja also shares her take on wealth, class, and power dynamics in the therapy world, plus what she hopes readers take away from the book. We wrap up with a personal chat about housing, future goals, and what’s next for her. Visit ajaevanscounseling.com for Aja's book Feel Good Finance. 

Attention Abundance Community members: Aja is our Abundance Community trainer for August 2025. For details on the live training via Zoom, email the HelpDesk or check out the event listing in our private Abundance Community Facebook group.

Feeling stuck with long-term goals? You’re not alone.

In today’s Ask Allison, I talk about how to stop spinning out over “growth” and start getting clear.

You don’t need a five-year plan. You need to know what kind of growth you’re after—more income, more time, a new revenue stream? Each one has a different path.

Start with your “why,” then break your goal into micro-steps and actually schedule them. What doesn’t get scheduled doesn’t happen.

And remember: ambitious is great, but realistic wins every time.
