Does money stress keep you up at night? You’re not alone.

In this episode of Finances with Friends, Registered Psychotherapist, Hilary McCulloch, and  Certified Financial Planner®, CJ Stevens unpack financial anxiety, how it affects your relationships and your life, and what you can actually do about it.

This conversation blends psychology and financial planning with practical tools, behavioural strategies, a few laughs, and even a (not very seriously taken) breathing exercise you can use immediately. If you’ve ever avoided checking your bank account, argued about money, or felt shame around finances: this episode is for you.
