Joyce Marter, a psychotherapist and author, joined us to discuss something very important: your finances. If you struggle with keeping up with your spending and are looking to turn things around, Joyce’s new book, The Financial Mindset Fix: A Mental Fitness Program for an Abundant Life, could be a helpful resource. When asked about the biggest financial issues people face, Joyce explained that her book draws from 25 years of clinical practice and her entrepreneurial journey, focusing on the relationship between mental and financial health. Her goal is to remove the shame and stigma surrounding both mental health issues and financial struggles, and to inspire and empower people to create a more abundant life.
One of the key ideas Joyce highlights in her book is the connection between self-worth and net worth. She observed early on in her practice that as clients made progress in therapy, they began to earn more money, receive promotions, and even start their own businesses. This, she explained, is because the work they were doing on self-esteem directly influenced their financial outcomes. As people feel better about themselves, they project more confidence and positivity, communicate more assertively, and negotiate better, which leads to financial improvements.
For those facing financial setbacks like job loss or bankruptcy, Joyce shared some practical steps. Her book offers a step-by-step program filled with tools, tips, and practical advice. She focuses on helping people practice self-compassion, explore their “psychology of money,” and understand how their family background and early experiences shape their financial behaviors. By empowering people to take control of their financial lives, she aims to help them create the life they deserve.
Joyce also mentioned that many people don’t realize how deeply their self-perception impacts their financial choices. Her book provides insights on this connection and aims to help readers make smarter financial decisions.
For those interested in purchasing the book or staying connected with Joyce for more financial tips, she directed viewers to her website, financialmindsetfix.com, where links to buy the book on platforms like Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Barnes & Noble are available. She also invited people to visit her personal website at joycemarter.com for more resources and support.
In closing, Joyce expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to share her insights and looks forward to continuing to help people feel better about themselves and make smarter financial choices.
