Dr. Severine Bryan, Accredited Financial Counselor and host of The Dr. Sev Talks Money Podcast joined me to talk about how our money story shapes our decisions, how to process financial setbacks without shame, and why community, clarity, and a plan can help turn goals into reality.

Key Takeaways:

🔹 Financial success is rooted in intention.
🔹 The way we were socialized around money shapes how we handle it today.
🔹 A clear plan helps turn goals into actionable steps.
🔹 Understanding your “why” creates focus and direction.
🔹 Taking a breath before major purchases protects long-term vision.
🔹 Financial setbacks require reflection, support, and self-forgiveness.
🔹 Having a community reduces shame and helps us rebuild with clarity.

Tony’s Take: When we approach our finances with intention, process our setbacks, and stay connected to community, we create the space to rewrite our money story and move forward with purpose.
