Emotional Investment

5 hours and 36 minutes

In a world where money impacts nearly every part of our lives, many of us still don’t talk about it enough. What might happen if we could look at our relationships to money, without shame and guided by an expert? What could we learn? How could our lives change?

In Emotional Investment, therapist-turned-financial coach Amanda Clayman works with a range of people and couples to unravel money dilemmas. Along the way, Clayman gives us practical tools—both financial and emotional—that we can all use in our own lives.
