About this episode

Two psychologists discuss the psychological factors influencing money habits shaped by early life experiences.

WATCH THE FULL EPISODE ON YOUTUBE In this episode, two Black licensed clinical psychologists discuss the deeper connection between psychology, trauma, financial literacy, and money habits learned from growing up in the hood. We break down how early experiences with survival, scarcity, access, family patterns, and community messages can shape the way we spend, save, earn, and think about money as adults. We also explore how psychology can be used to educate the public beyond the therapy room, including conversations around financial wellness, coaching, mindset, and personal growth. This is a real, culturally grounded conversation about why your money habits did not come out of nowhere, and how understanding the “why” can help you make different choices moving forward.
