Your Financial Plan Won't Work Until You Fix This

You know what you should be doing with your money. You're still not doing it. That gap has a name — and it's the most overlooked factor in whether your financial plan actually works.
In this episode, I walk through the four financial behavior patterns I see most often in my practice — the Protector, the Avoider, the Regulator, and the Sacrificer — where they come from (most of them were set before you turned 7), and the specific actions that change them. I also share two real client stories and my own.
In this episode:
- The four financial behavior patterns and how to identify yours
- Why $500K in savings can sit earning almost nothing (Megan's story)
- Why a $200K income ceiling had nothing to do with skill (Lisa's story)
- Where I got my own money patterns — and why I'm telling you
- Five actions that actually move the needle
- The stat: women who address these patterns are 53% more likely to invest regularly
