115 The Emotion of Money with Dennis Harhalakis

From Wall Street to your personal banking account to the piggy bank you had when you were a kid – what’s the common denominator?  Emotion.

We have a fascinating conversation on tap today exploring the relationship between emotion and money. I’m joined today by Dennis Harhalakis, a certified money coach and the founder of Cambridge Money Coaching.

With over 30 years of experience in financial services, Dennis believes that the key to true financial independence and success is understanding how our history impacts our behavioral patterns.  Through this understanding, we can make better decisions, reduce negative emotions relating to money and learn to communicate in healthier ways.

This conversation runs wide and deep.  Here’s what we cover:

  • How emotion fuels and impacts our relationship to money;

  • How our money beliefs and patterns are formed;

  • Working with limiting beliefs and barriers;

  • The role of money as part of our overall well-being; and

  • Advice for listeners on how to begin to work with money anxiety.

We end this episode with our Dose of Inspiration segment, where Dennis shares some of the things that are lighting him up these days.
