Episode 57: From Stress to Confidence: Building Better Money Habits the Mindful Way

In this episode of Wallet Wisdom, Brett catches up with LMCU Financial Wellness Coordinator Tiarra Weddle and LMIA Administrative Assistant Stevie VanHorssen to discuss how to build healthy money habits without ever checking your bank account.

Between Tiarra’s time spent as an LMCU teller and Stevie’s experience as an LMCU Wellness Champion, today’s guests are well poised to help listeners understand how confidence, impulse control, self-care strategies, and even yoga can all play a role when pursuing your financial goals. 

This episode’s topics include:

Stress Management: How to not let worrying about money become a vicious cycle.
Small Wins: Tips for taking everyday steps toward financial wellness.
Impulse Control: Learning to self-soothe in a constructive way.
Don’t Forget to Breathe: How subtle physical tension can amplify stress.
Comfort & Confidence: The importance of “radical honesty” and finding ways to talk with your friends (and tellers!) about money.

Take it from Tiarra and Stevie — getting to the heart of holistic financial wellness starts by looking inwardly, being kind to yourself, and making small behavioral shifts that add up to big long-term wins for your bank account.
