Show Notes
Financial wellness plays a powerful role in overall health—but it’s often overlooked.
In this episode of the Erie Wellness Podcast, Lauren Brunetti sits down with Brittany Maracine, a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones in Erie, Colorado, for a grounded and practical conversation about financial planning, money mindset, and building long-term peace of mind.
Together, they explore why financial wellness deserves a yearly checkup—just like your physical health—and how having a documented financial plan can reduce stress, improve communication in relationships, and bring clarity to everyday money decisions.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why financial planning shouldn’t feel overwhelming or intimidating
- How to build a strong foundation with emergency savings and retirement basics
- Navigating big emotions around money like fear, anxiety, and uncertainty
- Deciding whether to pay down debt or invest
- Why planning for the unexpected protects your family, finances, and legacy
- How a clear financial plan supports both financial and emotional wellness
Brittany also breaks down common misconceptions about working with a financial advisor and explains why having a clear plan matters at every income level.
