The Financial Feminist, Tori Dunlap, is joining the podcast this week!! After successfully saving $100,000 at age 25, Tori quit her corporate job in marketing to fight for women’s financial rights. She now runs a multi million dollar company, hosts a top charting podcast, and is the author of a New York Times best Selling book, Financial Feminist. If you’re wondering... "Wait, what does money have to do with therapy?" Well the answer is very simple, literally everything. There are tons of emotions, narratives and plenty of trauma that shapes and directs how we view, talk about, and spend our money. In This episode Tori tells us how she is using her financial knowledge to help empower and elevate the voices of women around the world. If you are someone who thinks: "Oh, I'll never understand investing" "Money is for the men to handle" "I shouldn't spend money on expensive things I don't need." Or anything else of the sort - this episode is made for you!

Dr. John Gottman discovered four negative behaviors, or “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” that spell disaster for any relationship, and with them learned how to predict the failure or success of a relationship with a 90% accuracy rate. This week is the third installment of a 4 part series where we dive into each of the horsemen: Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, & Stonewalling. We are digging into defensiveness today… and it’s pretty safe to say— we’ve all been defensive a time or two. This week you will learn what being defensive sounds like, what it does, and what the antidote to this toxic communication technique is!

This week is the second installment of a 4 part series where we dive into each of the horsemen: Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, & Stonewalling.
