In today’s conversation, Amanda and Kia are joined by Nashira Lynton, a financial therapist and an accredited financial counselor (AFC®). 

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Nashira became a mom at the early age of 18. She put herself through college and graduated with a master’s degree and nearly $60,000 worth of debt.

Like many of her clients, she struggled committing to goals without dealing with the emotional and relational aspect of money. Her financial behaviors were the reflection of the brokenness and disappointments that eventually led her to Kansas State University where she completed a certification in financial therapy.

Join Amanda, Kia, and Nashira as they discuss:

1. How emotions affect financial habits and decisions

2. Non-shameful financial advice

3. How past experiences affect relationships with money
