Are you feeling behind financially? Are you a parent juggling everything from college savings to daily expenses? Dr. Jennifer Dragonette returns for her much-anticipated monthly conversation, and we dive deep into a timely and universal theme: why so many families, even those who are objectively doing well, still feel like they're falling behind emotionally and financially. A recurring theme during my "planning season" has revealed a common thread among the families I work with: a persistent sense of anxiety and not-enoughness surrounding our personal and financial lives. Dr. Jen unpacks why these feelings are valid, the impact of social comparison, and how our nervous systems are being stretched thin by not only money matters but also the broader stresses of today's world. We focus on actionable strategies for managing anxiety, from reframing distorted thoughts to embracing simple, foundational self-care. Whether you're overwhelmed by competing financial priorities or just trying to keep your head above water emotionally, this episode will leave you with practical ways to reclaim a sense of safety, connection, and control. I hope you catch the secret message within our conversation: sometimes, the simplest steps are the most powerful. Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Jennifer Dragonette.
