Ep. #96 – The Financial Mindset Fix: Mental Fitness for Advisors and Clients with Joyce Marter

 

 Episode sponsor:

 

Do your clients’ money mindsets ever drive you crazy?

Do you wish you could get them to just “think right” about their money?

What if you knew that some of your clients’ financial challenges are rooted in their DNA?  Is that possible?  It’s called “epigenetics.”   (BTW – This is true for you too!)

In this episode, Bill Cates, CSP, CPAE interviews Joyce Marter, LCPC, CSP, author of The Financial Mindset Fix, to discuss the deep emotional and psychological factors that influence your clients’ (and your) relationship with money.

3 key takeaways:

  • Money beliefs are formed early and often unconsciously. Childhood experiences, family attitudes, and even generational financial traumas (yes, epigenetics!) can shape how your clients perceive and handle money as adults.
  • Financial anxiety is normal—even for high earners. Mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral tools can help your clients (and maybe even you!) shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset, leading to healthier financial decisions.
  • Empathy is your most powerful tool. You don’t have to be a therapist, but being comfortable talking about the emotional side of money can forge stronger client relationships and set you apart as a true holistic advisor.
