Jul 09, 2021Having a deep understanding of your relationship with money is vital to your real estate investing success. On today’s episode, we talk Bari Tessler, a financial therapist, on learning about and updating your financial story so you can have a better financial runway.
Financial identity is a lifelong journey. We discuss with Bari Tessler how she found her way into financial therapy and why everyone, no matter their economic status, may need help through their financial lives, steps you can take to begin your financial journey so it doesn’t seem overwhelming, and how our feelings toward money shows up in our relationships, in our work and the examples we set for our children. Bari also shares how it’s never too late to take control of your financials.
