Webinar “Exploring the Link Between Trauma and Financial Behaviour”

Published: July 21, 2026; Aithor: Julia Sonrisa

Have you ever found yourself repeating the same unhelpful money habits, even when you know better? Most traditional financial advice focuses on math, budgeting, or willpower.

But what if a lack of knowledge isn’t the real problem?

Join Credit Canada’s Alexandra Rodriguez, alongside special guest Chantel Chapman, best-selling author and Founder and CEO of The Trauma of Money Institute, for a conversation about how financial shame develops, why it can keep people stuck in avoidance or survival patterns, and how we can begin to approach money with more compassion, context, and intention.

In this 60-minute webinar, you’ll learn:

• How money behaviours are shaped not only by financial literacy, but also by laws of nature, generational, relational, societal, and systemic experiences.
• Why financial stress can make it harder to plan, follow through, or make aligned decisions, and how to move toward resilience through small, shame-free steps.
• How scarcity reduces our ability to focus and think clearly, creates urgency or avoidance, and can mirror trauma responses.
• Practical ways to talk about money with less shame, build safety, ask for help, and create more agency and choice in your financial life.

Bonus: We will wrap up with a live Q&A, giving you a chance to ask questions and get practical guidance in a safe, judgment-free space.

Time: 6:00 pm EDT
