Regan here!
Money is one of those conversations people tend to avoid, but if you know me, you know I've always been a huge proponent of overcommunicating. Whether I'm negotiating my salary or sitting around the table with friends trying to figure out how to actually invest, I'd rather talk about it than not.
Because when we don't talk about money, we do ourselves a huge disservice.
Managing money is no different. We all come from different backgrounds that shape how we approach it, and no matter how much you're earning, it can feel scary (even if we'd never admit it) to suddenly be navigating it on your own. Should I open an IRA? How do I start investing? How much should I actually be budgeting? The questions stack up fast, and most of us are just figuring it out as we go.

It shapes how freely you spend, how anxious you feel at the end of the month, whether you feel in control of your financial future or just vaguely hoping it'll work out.
A financial advisor manages your money. A financial coach helps you understand your relationship with it. Here are seven signs the second one might be exactly what you need.
