Is the secret to exceptional financial advising hidden in your own self-awareness? Join me, Ashley Quamme, and Dr. Meghaan Lurtz in this episode of Planning and Beyond as we explore the crucial role of self-awareness in financial planning. We discuss how personal biases, money stories, and experiences shape professional advice and client interactions.

Discover the power of self-reflection and emotional intelligence through a compelling example of an advisor specializing in doctors. Learn about countertransference and how personal feelings can interfere with professional advice, and hear a candid story about making tough decisions due to strong emotional reactions.

We also emphasize the importance of having a support system, whether through peers, mentors, or professional groups like Shaping Wealth, to maintain ethical standards and foster growth. Additionally, we highlight the value of financial advisors having their own advisors and the insights gained from peer-to-peer interactions.
