Today your host, psychotherapist Christina Crowe is talking to Certified Financial Planner Jeff Chapman, from G.E. Chapman Financial Services Inc. in Burlington, Ontario.

In this episode, we explore the complex connection between mental health, money mindsets, and everyday life skills. From how ADHD and time-blindness impact financial habits, to the invisible and visible money lessons kids absorb, we uncover why so many adults struggle to talk about money openly. We also discuss the role of certified financial professionals (CFPs), how to spot misleading “fin-fluencers,” and where to turn for help—even if you don’t have “wealth” yet. Tune in for real-life tips, mindset shifts, and strategies to build a healthier relationship with money and your mental health.
