I'm Lindsay Bryan-Podvin (she/her). I'm a biracial (Filipina-white) female social worker-turned-financial therapist, author, and speaker. As the first financial therapist in Michigan, I talk about money in a way that doesn’t make you feel gross. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan, and a bachelor's degree in Sociology from Michigan State University. I have a certificate in Financial Social Work and am a CFT-I™ (Certified Financial Therapist) through the Financial Therapy Association.
I’m the author of the book, The Financial Anxiety Solution, which is a self-paced workbook to help you stop stressing about money by applying therapy techniques to your relationship with money.
My work has been featured in Self, TFD, Millie, Allure, Fast Company, HuffPost, Time, and more! Need more proof that I know my stuff? Check out these podcasts, blogs, and articles I’ve contributed to.
When I’m not bingeing on pop culture or personal finance podcasts, you can find me at my home in Ann Arbor curled up with my Portuguese Water Dog, eating stove-popped popcorn, and watching Bravo TV.
