Mind Money Balance® is a financial wellness company that helps people feel confident, comfortable, and in control of their money by addressing the emotional side of money. It exists to fill the gap between knowing what to do and taking action by focusing on the emotional side of money.

Its flagship offer, the Mind Money Balance Method™, is a digital, community-supported program that reduces financial anxiety, builds confidence, and turns insight into action.

Mind Money Balance also partners with organizations through human-first financial wellness workshops and retreats, keynote and panel speaking, and aligned brand partnerships.

I’m Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, a financial therapist, speaker, and author. My entrepreneurial journey began in my first job after grad school, when I lived paycheck to paycheck and felt deeply ashamed about it. Like a good eldest daughter, I took the initiative to learn everything I could find about personal finance. But instead of feeling empowered, I mostly felt worse, like I didn’t have enough discipline or willpower to be “good” with money.

At the same time, I was a social worker specializing in mental health. Clients talked about financial stress, but my clinical training hadn’t taught me how to help go beyond “literacy.” Personally and professionally, I saw the same gap: plenty of financial advice, but little connection to the emotions, beliefs, behaviors, and systems that also shape our financial lives.

I became obsessed with closing that gap. I discovered financial therapy and founded Mind Money Balance. My work has grown from individual therapy to writing, speaking, workshops, and financial wellness programs. Today, I’m scaling the Mind Money Balance Method™, a digital, community-supported financial wellness program that centers the emotional side of money to build confidence and reduce stress.
