Description

P$y-Fi is the podcast where psychology and finances collide.

Host Olivia Pierce, M.S., LPC, AFC® — a licensed professional counselor, Accredited Financial Counselor® and financial readiness program manager at Redstone Arsenal — explores the mental and emotional patterns behind how we earn, spend, save, give and grieve money. Episodes range from multi-part deep dives on financial intimacy in marriages, financial wounds and money as a weapon, compulsive spending and the mental health toll of debt — to interviews with attorneys, clinicians and financial planners who speak honestly into the messier corners of life: estate planning, raising financially literate kids, distress tolerance and the quiet decisions that compound over a career.

Built for federal employees, military families and anyone tired of hearing personal finance reduced to a budgeting app. No clickbait. No get-rich-quick. Just the unglamorous, deeply human work of changing how you think about money.

Views shared on P$y-Fi are Olivia's own and do not represent the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense.

New episodes drop every other week. Subscribe wherever you listen, and if an episode helps you breathe a little easier, leave a rating. It's how more people stuck in the same rut find their way here.
