39: Tiffany McClain Shares her Money Story
Tiffany is a psychotherapist and founder of the “Lean In, Make Bank Academy” that helps therapists in private practice raise their fees so they can ethically earn 30-50% more each month. She joins me on the Mind Money Balance podcast to get real about the difficulty of being socially distanced from loved ones, why entrepreneurship was her only option, and on getting comfortable with numbers as a “non-mathy” person.
Being a “Non-Mathy” doesn’t mean you are doomed to be “bad” with money. Figure out what you need to work in alignment with you. Do you need to track your money manually, is it best to use something automated, do you need a third party like a financial planner around?
Holding Space for Discomfort. Tiffany shared how she sits with clients during the time of discomfort after she raises her fees. She uses her therapeutic skills to hold space for her clients if they have a big response to her fee change.
Investing in Your Mental Health. If you haven’t gotten it by now, you know I believe that money and mental health are intersected. Tiffany shared how not only does she teach her therapy clients the importance of raising their fees, she takes care of her mental health by paying her psychoanalyst and regularly attending therapy.
