Money Matters with Joyce Marter

Many of us attach our worth to our financial status instead of realizing that we are innately worthy and deserving. Here today to discuss all things mindset, self worth, and mental wealth is licensed clinical professional counselor and expert in self esteem, mindfulness, and career development, Joyce Marter. Tune in to hear how Joyce discovered that, as clients progressed in therapy, they started making more money, and how she came to apply the same inner work to her own business. She considers money issues to be a part of the human condition, in the same way as mental health issues are par for the course for all of us. We touch on the difference between the male and female approach to negotiating fair pay and talk about the reasons people are reluctant to enter into financial conversations. Joyce recently wrote a book, which includes 12 mindsets that lead to holistic success, including mental wellness, physical health, connected relationships, and financial prosperity. To learn more about Joyce’s story of financial and personal triumph, tune in today!
