ABOUT THIS EPISODE: I’m so excited to share today’s episode with you, featuring my friend Jason Tartick.

In this episode, Jason and I dive into important topics like financial security, money mindset, and even financial infidelity. We also talk about his new book, Talk Money to Me, which is all about how to have open and honest conversations about money—whether that’s with your partner, family, or friends. I also open up about my own journey with finances, including some personal experiences I shared in my book, Get What You Want.

Maybe a Michael Strahan, a Paris Hilton. In three words, you can immediately identify what their brand is. And what I'd say to anyone out there is, in three words, what would your boss? What would your colleague? What would your partner? What would your mom or dad? Say your brand is, and if that isn't quickly identifiable, you may have some struggles when other people are looking at you as a resource to be their outlet for an opportunity. - Jason Tartick I think a lot of times people don't even give themselves the permission of getting started.

In today's episode, I interview psychotherapist Terri Cole about high functioning codependency (HFC), a term Terri coined to describe high-achieving individuals who take on excessive responsibility for others, often at their own expense. Terri explains the impact of HFC, such as stress and strained relationships, and highlights the importance of setting boundaries and allowing others to handle their own issues. Terri offers practical advice for breaking the cycle, including mindfulness techniques and self-regulation strategies. We discuss the benefits of overcoming HFC, like improved energy and relationships. Terri also shares relatable examples and encourages small, manageable steps to start change. Be sure to check out the amazing resources, including Terri’s book and a starter kit for those looking to break free from HFC. More about Terri: Terri Cole is a licensed psychotherapist and global relationship and empowerment expert and the author of Boundary Boss and Too Much! For over two decades, Terri has worked with a diverse group of clients that includes everyone from stay-at-home moms to celebrities and Fortune 500 CEOs.

Gone are the days where you, you know, I remember back in 2016, brands weren't even asking for insights or analytics. They would just be like, ‘hey, we'll give you $2,000 to create this YouTube video’. Gone are those days.
