Financial literacy teaches us what to do with money. Money EQ helps us understand what money does to us.
For more than three years, we’ve been exploring how emotions, experiences, fear, stress, and beliefs influence the way we earn, spend, save, and build wealth.
What does money make you feel?
Notice the emotions, experiences, and triggers connected to money.
What happens when money activates you?
Use emotional intelligence to pause, understand, and respond intentionally.
What becomes possible with stronger Money EQ?
Apply financial knowledge to build stability, opportunity, and wealth.
At the Capitalism for All book signing, I brought more than three years of Financial Wellness Money EQ™ work into a public conversation with John Hope Bryant. I asked about chrometophobia—the fear of money—and why emotional healing belongs alongside financial literacy and wealth-building. His response affirmed the importance of the need we have been documenting: understanding what money activates in us emotionally.
The emotional intelligence behind how we earn, receive, spend, save, and build wealth.
Financial Wellness Money EQ™ is the emotional-intelligence foundation of our Financial Wellness 101 experience.
Traditional financial literacy teaches skills such as budgeting, saving, credit, investing, and wealth-building. Money EQ explores the emotional, psychological, and behavioral responses that can influence whether we are able to use those skills consistently.
We examine what money activates—fear, stress, shame, scarcity, avoidance, impulsivity, control, safety, confidence, and hope—and use emotional intelligence to recognize those responses, regulate them, and build more intentionally.
The goal isn't simply to know more about money. It is to develop a healthier relationship with money so financial knowledge has a stronger foundation to grow from.
