Episode 161 - Understanding Money Types And Why They Matter

In this year-end episode, I have a great conversation with Christine Mathieu, a seasoned financial coach with over 30 years of experience. Christine opens up about her unique background, which spans surviving cancer, experiencing divorce and bankruptcy, and transitioning from a career in banking to a fulfilling path in financial coaching.


Christine introduces a fascinating online money types quiz designed to help individuals uncover their subconscious relationships with money, emphasizing that this understanding is crucial, especially for those navigating life transitions like divorce. The quiz, which takes roughly five minutes to complete, offers participants a subsequent 45 to 60-minute session with Christine to explore their results, providing invaluable insights into their financial habits.


Throughout the episode, Christine discusses the eight money archetypes that shape our financial decisions, shedding light on how divorcees often fall into patterns of financial anxiety and self-doubt, particularly those with 'innocent' and 'victim' tendencies. She highlights the importance of self-awareness and the power of conscious decision-making in overcoming these limiting beliefs.


We discuss viewing money and divorce as "classrooms" for self-discovery, encouraging listeners to shift perspectives and reclaim their financial agency. With neuroscience insights and personal anecdotes, Christine emphasizes the role of intentional thinking in breaking free from deep-seated patterns around how we deal with money.


About the Guest:

Christine Mathieu defines wealth as a state of well-being, beyond what one has or makes, and believes our purpose is to align our financial decisions with a life that supports both personal and collective fulfillment. A survivor of cancer, divorce, and bankruptcy, she understands major life transitions and has learned that trusting yourself often leads to wonderful and unimaginable outcomes.


As a Certified Money Coach (CMC®) with decades of experience as a financial advisor and wealth coach, Christine helps individuals transform their relationship with wealth by shifting their beliefs about themselves and what they think is possible. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in Metaphysical Science and is an ordained Metaphysical Minister. “Coffee” is Christine’s favorite time of day, spirituality is her favorite subject, and you will often find her on the sidelines of a soccer field cheering on her boys.
