Fitting Finances Into Your Self-Care: A Conversation with Linzy Bonham

Finances and self-care?  Yep, that’s right!  Although not typically considered part of traditional self-care, money and finances figure prominently in our fresh take on self-care for female mental health clinicians.  In this episode we speak with Linzy Bonham, MSW, RSW, founder of Money Nuts & Bolts, about the important role finances and money play in self-care, some of the warning signs that we might need some assistance with money related issues, and what we can do to start feeling more on top of our finances. 

Episode highlights:  

• What led Linzy to create her signature course, Money Skills for Therapists 
• How money skills fit into self-care 
• Factors that contribute to unique money related issues for female therapists 
• Steps you can take today to start feeling more on top of your finances 
• Linzy’s best “non-conventional” self-care practice 

Linzy Bonham is a therapist in private practice, a consultant who helps therapists feel calm and in control of their finances, and the creator of the Money Skills for Therapists course. As the daughter of an accountant, Linzy inherited a good dose of bookkeeping brain. She's like half therapist, half bookkeeper. So when she went into private practice, she dug right into all the ways to build a healthy business that pays for her life and always has extra money in the bank. 

Now Linzy helps therapists develop peace of mind about their money. Since so many of us were never taught about money, she focuses on the 'how' of making the financial side of private practice doable, and even super satisfying - feeling competent and calm about your money is pretty swell!
