Lindsay Bryan-Podvin

As Michigan’s first financial therapist, I’ve spent nearly a decade focused on the intersection of money and mental health. Personally and professionally, I noticed the same thing: a huge gap between how we think about money and how we feel about it.

Over time, I became obsessed with figuring out how to bridge that gap. Because how we feel about money matters just as much as how we earn, save, or spend it.

At Mind Money Balance, I help people feel better about money. That includes individuals dealing with financial anxiety and organizations tired of dry 401(k) webinars no one remembers the next day.

This work matters to me so much, I wrote a whole book about it. The Financial Anxiety Solution is a workbook rooted in financial therapy, packed with real-world exercises to help you explore your relationship with money, without the shame.
