Welcome to Good Money, where we help you grow your net worth so you can use it for good. I'm your host Derek Kennedy.

Who's the person you talk to most in your life?

Here's a hint. It's not your spouse, a relative, a coworker, or the guy at Starbucks that always happens to be working when you drive by in the morning.

It's you and you can't add value to the marketplace if you don't add value to yourself. My guest today,

Lori Godleaf, is here to help. She's a psychotherapist, New York Times

best-selling author, a TED speaker, and co-host of the popular Dear Therapist

podcast.

Lori knows how to transform your negative self-talk into a compassionate pep talk so you can make more money.

Plus, you'll discover the life-changing exercise that Lori has her clients do and so much more.
