Today’s guest is Aja Evans, also known as the ‘feel-good financial therapist.” Aja is a board-certified therapist who specializes in financial therapy. Since having her own financial enlightenment which transformed how she thought and felt about money, she is determined to empower people to take control of their financial journey beginning with evaluating how their past experiences impact their financial decisions. Aja specializes in identifying how anxiety, self-esteem, and stress impact financial wellness.

Today Aja will share with us more about how your relationship with money impacts all facets of life including how you feel emotionally and physically.

In This Episode We Discuss:

  • How Aja went from quitting her counseling job and traveling Europe to deciding to specialize in financial therapy
  • What certifications you should look for when finding a financial therapist to work with
  • The role past financial trauma can play in how we handle money
  • What you should do instead of shopping if spending money is how you cope
  • The problems of being an excessive saver
  • The impact self-esteem has on our finances
  • How to avoid that awkward moment that comes when splitting a group check at the restaurant
