Understanding Your Story to Build a Stronger Financial Future
Your Money Narrative written by Amy R. Cook, MSPFP, MPAS®, CFP®, founder of Maven Lane Financial Group. This Amazon bestselling book explores the deeper "why" behind our money decisions—and how understanding your personal financial story can help you make more confident, values-aligned choices.
Why We Tell Ourselves Money Stories
Behind every financial decision is a story — shaped by our upbringing, relationships, and values.
In Your Money Narrative, Amy R. Cook invites you to examine the beliefs you’ve built about money, uncover the roots of those patterns, and rewrite a narrative that leads to confidence, peace, and purpose.
