Money Stories: Caught or Taught? A Conversation with Ed Coambs, Author of The Healthy Love & Money Way

"Wealth building and financial tips will be of little use if you don't fully understand your money beliefs and attitudes." - Ed Coambs

We learn countless ideas and collect beliefs from our families about money.

Many of them are caught, and not taught. Ed Coambs shares in this podcast how our attitudes about ourselves, relationships, and money evolve from our past experiences and the attachment styles we developed as children.

Using the latest in love and brain science, as well as anecdotes from his own evolution from an insecure attachment style to a secure one, Ed Coambs shows how healthy love and money can be achieved no matter your starting point.

In this episode, we cover: 

• How Ed went from Firefighter to Financial Therapist
• What led him to write his book, The Healthy Love & Money Way
• Why money is often such a hard topic to talk about and what stops couples from seeing eye-to-eye with their finances
• Where our money stories and ideas often come from (spoiler alert: many are CAUGHT, not TAUGHT)
• How knowing our money stories can improve our relationships and our lives 
• What the four attachment styles are and how they relate to money and our relationships today 
• How to charge what you're worth 
• One step you can take today to start exploring your own money stories 
• And more!
