Emotional Investment

By: Fresh Produce Media

Narrated by: Amanda Clayman

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.

Featured in this series:

• Stella and Lucas fell in love and got married young. Now, Lucas manages a grocery store while Stella works a high-stress, high-paying corporate job. Clayman helps the couple talk through Stella’s desire for a postnuptial agreement.
• Melvin became a successful entrepreneur in his 20s. Now, he finds that the stress of supporting his family while dealing with the precarity of a small business is bringing up feelings and decisions he was unprepared for.
• Samantha, a social worker, nurtures herself by spending while carrying a crushing burden of student loan debt. Can she find financial stability without losing her joy?
• Danny decided to retire early from his job as a firefighter—then fell in love with someone he’d like to be able to support financially. Clayman works with Danny and his partner Osmer to talk through Danny’s feelings of shame and resentment.
• Louie is a community organizer who is comfortable helping other people but terrified to receive help themselves—or even to really look at their own financial situation. Clayman helps Louie figure out where to start.

Join them as they look at the issues they’ve been avoiding, and follow them as they come to surprising realizations and gain tangible new financial skills. Emotional Investment is an emotional and insightful ride that promises to leave us all braver and smarter than before.

So so good

I ate up every bit of these recorded sessions. Amanda Clayman is truly gifted at sharing powerful stories AND supporting clients.

You will not regret listening to this series.

So honest and engaging to hear people’s money stories.

I really like the host Amanda’s approach. She’s very real and gets to the heart of things.

Real money talk from real people

Host Amanda Clayman balances empathy, vulnerability and practical advice. Guests’ openness in what is typically a sensitive topic can help so many of us with our own money issues.

Would I recommend it?

Good book. But must admit that I have skipped part of it. It hasn't assisted me only stirred some emotions. Not even sure what to make of it. Hopefully other comments will be more beneficial

Understanding how money values learned from childhood may impact our financial wellness.

I loved the warmth of the financial coach and the honesty of the clients/ participants.

A Must Listen for Anyone

A dive into real life situations brought up around money. It looks at financial well-being as part of how we see ourselves and why we make the decisions we make around money. I wish there were more episodes!

Real struggles, real solutions

Amazing to see what makes us feel about the money the way we do. A deeper dive into a psychology of money and the roots that shape how we perceive it. Great stories by great people. Highly recommended this title!

The show I didn’t know I needed

I did not know that financial therapy was a thing before tuning in. We never talk about money and yet money is something that affects our lives in a fundamental way. I can relate to so many issues the participants of this show have. Especially soothing myself by spending. Amanda is an amazing listener and her advice is priceless. I will be recommending this to my friends and family.

Loved being present with emotions

Thank you for sharing the stories and insights. Each person broght something special and poignant. Doing financial work for ourselves…

Relatable and Kind

If money has ever felt scary, this is a must listen! There’s something to relate to in every story. The honest and sometimes raw feelings around money are met with grace, empathy, and wisdom towards how to change one’s relationship with money. Thank you Amanda Clayman and guests for allowing us to listen in on these valuable conversations.
