Joyce Marter, a psychotherapist and author, joined us to talk about something very important: your finances. If you don’t have the best track record with keeping up with your spending and you’re looking to turn that around, you might want to check out her new book. Joyce Marter, author of The Financial Mindset Fix: A Mental Fitness Program for an Abundant Life, joined us to discuss her book.
When asked about the biggest issues related to finances, Joyce shared what she has learned through 25 years of clinical practice and her entrepreneurial journey. She emphasized the relationship between mental health and financial health, expressing her hope to remove the shame and stigma associated with both mental health issues and financial struggles, and to inspire and empower people to create a more abundant life.
Joyce explained that the connection between self-worth and net worth is a key concept in the book. She noted that as clients make progress in therapy, they often begin earning more money, getting raises, promotions, or starting businesses. She attributed this to the work done on self-esteem, saying that as people feel better about themselves, they project more confidence and positivity, behave more assertively, and negotiate better, all of which positively impact their finances.
For those facing financial setbacks like job loss or bankruptcy, Joyce offered practical steps. Her book includes a step-by-step program full of tools, tips, and practical takeaways. She helps readers practice self-compassion, explore the psychology of money, and understand how early experiences may have shaped their financial behaviors. Joyce also provides budgeting advice and strategies to overcome self-limitation and self-sabotage, empowering readers to take control of their financial lives and create the life they deserve.
Joyce’s book is available at various retailers including Amazon, Target, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and Indie Books.
