Healthy Love & Money: Financial Therapy, Intimacy, Conflict & Communication for Couples

How Financial Planning and Financial Therapy Changes Couples Lives: With Danielle Seurkamp


Listen Later

[Explicit Content]

Today, Ed is joined by Danielle Seurkamp, Founder of Well Spent Wealth Planning. Since joining the financial planning industry in 2006, Danielle has helped hundreds of individuals and families to effectively achieve their financial goals.

 

As a Certified Financial Planner who jokingly also refers to herself as a “mental health hobbyist,” Danielle says that her role is “not all just numbers, logic, and common sense. Even financial planning, as much as it is about dollars and cents, is also about priorities, goals, and making things happen in our lives. Our emotions have such a big impact on all of that.”

 

In this conversation, Danielle explains why nobody—not even high-income earners—is immune to financial stress and hardship. She also speaks on the typical issues faced by couples when it comes to their finances, and why the key to solving the majority of these problems is by shifting the focus away from tactics and toward foundational values.

 

Danielle reflects on her own upbringing and how it shaped her worldview regarding finances and, later on, how that upbringing influenced her money conversations with her husband. She and Ed agree that acquiring a deeper awareness of our money beliefs shaped over the years is vital to getting clear on how to improve our relationship with our finances moving forward.
