Money on Your Mind

“Money isn’t just a tool to pay for needs and wants, it’s a repository for a host of emotions including shame, doubt, and fear. Getting a handle on out-of-control spending, mounting debt, and other unhealthy ways of managing finances means first identifying the internal barriers to financial freedom… . In a time of finance bro podcasters shouting about fiscal domination, [Reynal] offers kinder, gentler advice that’s focused on banishing self-blame and setting human-size goals.” – Publishers Weekly“Money on Your Mind is essential reading for anyone who has ever earned, spent, or saved money. As a financial psychotherapist, Reynal explains how the experiences we had yesterday shape our relationships with money today, and how we can improve our interactions not just with money but also with the partners and loved ones who share our financial resources and shape our financial decisions. Highly recommended.” – Adam Alter, New York Times–bestselling author of Irresistible, Anatomy of a Breakthrough, and Drunk Tank Pink“Our relationship with money runs deeper than we think, and Vicky Reynal is uniquely able to bring together real-life stories and research to show us just how deep our issues with money can go. She also offers tangible steps for improving your relationship with money now and into the future.” – Jessica Moorhouse, author of Everything but Money and host of the More Money podcast“As a Financial Times journalist, I have long been a fan of Vicky’s work as a therapist, and how she’s able to unlock deep-seated emotional problems with money that can hold us back in ways we simply don’t realise. In this intriguing book, Vicky leads her readers on an incredible voyage of financial self-discovery with plenty of ‘aha’ moments about how we could make more mindful choices with our money. Think of this as financial therapy with feeling.” – Claer Barrett, Financial Times“In Money on Your Mind, Vicky Reynal shares a clear and substantiated roadmap for the reader who wants to not only improve their finances, but also better understand their financial life. The relatable stories she shares will help readers create strategies to build financial wellness and a healthy relationship with money. This one is a keeper!” – Bobbi Rebell, CFP, founder of Financial Wellness Strategies and author of Launching Financial Grownups“Vicky Reynal has written a remarkable book about our relationships with money. After reading it twice, I’ve gained even deeper insights into my own relationship with money and felt increased freedom in the way I see and experience money. When we minimize or deny human emotional responses, they come out sideways. Facing and acknowledging unwanted emotions like greed and envy instead of suppressing them has helped me step out of my financial shame spirals faster. This is a must-read.” – Ed Coambs, former president of the Financial Therapy Association and host of the Healthy Love and Money podcast“Vicky offers a clear understanding of common, and some less obvious, financial issues with her insightful exploration of our complex relationship with money.” – Michael Aitken, founder and chairman of Magus Wealth and author of The Levelheaded Investor
