Emotional Inve$tment was created to explore the often-overlooked connection between money and mental health. Hosted by therapist-turned-financial wellness coach Amanda Clayman, the twelve-part Audible Original podcast aims to break the stigma surrounding financial issues by addressing the emotional and psychological complexities that money can bring to the surface.
Through intimate, candid conversations with real people, each episode dives into personal dilemmas that range from salary insecurity between partners to impulsive spending habits tied to emotional triggers. Clayman’s compassionate approach helps guests explore how their financial struggles intersect with their emotional well-being, offering practical advice while providing a safe space to discuss these typically private issues.
The podcast’s goal is to create a broader dialogue around financial wellness by shedding light on the ways in which money and mental health are intricately connected, yet seldom discussed. The purpose of this goal was to help destigmatize the conversation and provide listeners with tools and insights to improve their own financial and emotional health, confront their financial fears, make informed choices, and cultivate a healthier relationship with money.
