Welcome to The Finance Therapist Newsletter

If you’re new to me—welcome. I’m Michele, The Finance Therapist, and I’m so glad you’re here. My work combines financial literacy with insights from transpersonal psychology, trauma therapy, and evolutionary psychology. This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about healing emotionally and financially so you can experience true victories in your life—both personal and relational.

If you’ve been following along for a while—thank you for continuing to be part of this journey. Every week, I strive to provide content that inspires deeper understanding, greater self-compassion, and meaningful progress toward the life you deserve.

What’s This Newsletter All About?

This isn’t your average email. It’s an invitation to:

• Heal childhood emotional wounds and recover from the betrayals that have shaped your perspective- including how you respond to finance.

• Reimagine your relationships—not just with money but also with yourself and others—so they feel enriched, open, and deeply trusting- including your relationship with money.

• Celebrate your big and small victories as steps toward living with greater emotional and fiscal confidence.

Relationships—whether with a partner, family member, or yourself—thrive when rooted in trust and understanding. Money often tests these connections, but it can also deepen them. Here, I’ll help you explore how to move through interpersonal struggles, heal from past wounds, and create the love and connection you deserve.

Victory is the Goal

While words like “thriving” and “surviving” are commonplace in healing, to me, they are just starting points. Rather, victory is the foundation of everything I do. It’s about moving past the shame and self-doubt that often accompany financial, emotional, or relational struggles and finding ways to celebrate progress.

Victory is paying down debt, rebuilding trust after betrayal, or learning to communicate about finances without fear. It’s healing childhood wounds and living with openness, intention, and love. Every small win is part of a larger story of transformation.

This newsletter is your guide to healing and growth, a reminder that you’re not defined by your past but by how you rise from it.
