About the Topic

Kelley Long, Financial Coach, Financial Wellness Expert, Consultant, Freelance Content Creator, and Founder of Financial Bliss, joins me on this episode of Bridging The Gap. We discuss the energy of money, perfectionism, and overcoming the need to do something. 

She also shares how to navigate through financial stress, seeing challenges as opportunities, and her meaning to the pathway to bliss in your financial journey. 

Guest Bio:

Kelley Long is a personal finance expert and financial wellness coach who is on a personal mission to empower all people to feel and be great with money. She is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional as well as a Certified Public Accountant, and is frequently cited in the media, including the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and Reuters.

Kelley lives by her personal definition of financial security, which is using money to get to a place where you are able to make decisions in your life for every reason except money. She overcame her own poor money habits that lead to climbing out of 5-figure debt not once, but twice, as an example of how and why addressing the psychological aspects of money is as important, if not more so, than providing just financial education and planning. She’s the founder of the Find Your Financial Bliss Coaching Program and a frequent speaker and writer on personal finance topics.
