  • Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is!
  • Let’s be honest: your financial future isn’t hiding in a spreadsheet—it’s tangled up in your thoughts, your self-talk, and that weird thing your aunt said about money when you were eight. In this bold, witty, and wildly relatable keynote, Certified Financial Therapist Erika Wasserman unpacks how the way we talk about money shapes the way we experience it. Whether it’s to your boss, your partner, your kids, or (most importantly) yourself—money talk matters. With real-life scripts, mindset hacks, and a good laugh or two, Erika will help you uncover where your words might be sabotaging your wallet—and how to shift your internal narrative from “I’m bad with money” to “Watch me grow.” You’ll leave with new tools to stop playing small, start thinking bigger, and finally put your money where your (brilliant, brave, badass) mouth is.

"Your Relationship With Money Impacts Everything. By understanding your relationship with money we can reduce stress and increase happiness."
