🎙 INTERVIEW: Writing Non-fiction & Financial Wellbeing for Writers with Psychotherapist Vicky Reynal
** This is a LIVE interview with author and psychotherapist Vicky Reynal about the craft of writing and reality of building a writing career. Attendees will be sent a recording after the interview. **
In this interview with psychotherapist Vicky Reynal, author of Money on Your Mind, we’ll explore the intersection of creativity, mindset, and money.
Ten years ago, Vicky entered the world of psychotherapy and quickly saw a pattern: money was at the heart of many clients' struggles. Now a pioneer in financial therapy, she helps people tackle their money issues head-on. As a financial columnist for the Daily Mail and author of a new book on the psychology of money, she's making waves in how we think about our finances.
Join us for a conversation on using writing to reach a wider audience, how she pitched and wrote her nonfiction book, and how we can reshape how we approach money in our creative lives.
We’ll also explore:
The psychology behind money blocks and how they manifest for writers
How to shift your mindset around money and develop a healthier relationship with it
Why creatives may feel guilt or shame around earning money and how to release those emotions
Vicky’s journey as a psychotherapist and author and her personal approach to money management.
