Welcome
We tend to think about money in terms of dollars and cents, something quantifiable that we either do or do not have enough of. For most of us, though, our actual experience of money is much more complex, intricate, and tangled.
Our relationship to money can be rational, logical, and realistic, but it is also irrational and emotional. Money is not only legal tender, it is emotional currency as well. The range of emotional responses to money and the meanings they carry—as well as the ways we use money to express our feelings—are almost limitless.
Money is often one of the most emotionally charged arenas in our lives, sometimes the most charged. It deeply touches our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world.
Kate’s book, Emotional Currency: A Woman’s Guide to Building a Healthy Relationship with Money, is on sale now!
