Financial Recovery - Karen McCall

This is the book that changed everything. It lead me to Karen - my mentor. It’s a loving and extremely approachable book to guide you towards a healthy relationship with your money. Libraries usually have copies - but it’s one worth investing in. You will feel comforted, inspired, and ready to take new steps towards a different future.

Money Harmony - Olivia Mellan & Sherry Christie

Navigating money conversations with your partner is often coupled with conflict, avoidance, or a start and stop pattern that keeps you from gaining the financial momentum you want. This book is an excellent guide for money in both new and longstanding relationships.

Prince Charming Isn't Coming - Barbara Stanny

This is an important read for everyone because rescue fantasies are pervasive, especially for women. This book is a bucket of cold water that gets your financial attention.

You are a Badass at Making Money - Jen Sincero

This is a hilarious read—relatable as well as inspirational. I don’t agree with all of Sincero’s assumptions (it disregards systemic barriers to wealth and privilege) and the book is often a bit vague about what you actually need to do, but it does provide many questions that may illuminate your blindspots.

Your Money or Your Life - Vicki Robin

This was one of the first books I ever read about money—ages ago. It is a 'classic' and has a dedicated following that spans over a few generations.

Mind over Money - Brad Klontz, Ted Klontz

This is a helpful exploration of the emotional drivers of our behavior with money. I really appreciate their approach and the work they have done to bring Financial Therapy into the mainstream.

We Need to Talk: A Memoir About Wealth - Jennifer Risher

This is an excellent book for everyone, but particularly those anticipating or been the beneficiaries of sudden wealth. This candid memoir explores the internal complexities that arise in tandem with the privilege of increased wealth. Our identities, our relationships, and our beliefs about money are amplified and challenged in the wake of having more money than we have before. This book illustrates the crucial need for all of us to talk openly and honestly about money and includes excellent discussion questions at the end of each chapter.

If you are in need of no cost personalized support, the following organizations are a wonderful place to start–

All of the groups listed above have national and international chapters and meet virtually and in person.

I understand that there is stigma and cultural shame attached to each of the titles above, but that doesn’t mean there is anything shameful about getting the support you need.

There are millions of others who have built a community of support from their own lived experience. Those who have walked this path before you are ready to support you. I recommend attending at least 2 different groups (virtually or in person) to find one that is the right fit.

I hope that no matter what form it is – that you find the care and support you need to shift into a harmonious relationship with money.
