177: Navigating Economic Instability with Dave Frank

How can you feel better prepared for the financial curveballs life can throw your way? In this episode, I’m joined once again by certified financial planner Dave Frank to talk about one of the most fundamental, and often overlooked, aspects of financial wellness: buffers. We dive into the emotional and practical sides of creating buffers in your business and personal life, and why this matters more than ever in a world that’s increasingly uncertain. From navigating economic instability to finding the right balance between saving and living, this conversation is full of practical tips to help you feel more prepared. Dave and I also unpack the emotional challenges many therapists face when trying to use the resources they’ve set aside, and we share how rethinking your language can shift your relationship with saving. Whether you're just starting to think about buffers or you're reassessing your current systems, this episode offers tools and insights to help you build a more resilient financial foundation.
