Build a Financial Plan and Reduce Money Stress with Brittany Maracine of Edward Jones
Financial wellness plays a huge role in overall wellness, yet it’s something many people rarely talk about.
In this episode of the Erie Wellness Podcast, I sit down with Brittany Maracine, a Financial Advisor (CEPA, AAMS, CRPC) with Edward Jones in Erie, CO, for a practical and refreshing conversation about financial planning, money mindset, and building long-term security.
Together, they explore how having a documented financial plan can reduce stress, bring clarity to money decisions, and help individuals and families feel more confident about their future—without feeling overwhelmed or intimidated. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by money decisions, unsure where to start, or stressed about the future, this episode is a must-listen.
In this episode, we cover:
Why financial wellness deserves an annual “checkup,” just like your physical health
How to build a strong financial foundation (emergency funds, retirement basics, and realistic expectations)
Why financial planning shouldn’t feel like “pin the tail on the donkey”
How to navigate big emotions around money—fear, anxiety, excitement, and uncertainty
When to prioritize debt payoff vs. investing
Why protecting your family, legacy, and future requires planning for the unexpected
How a documented financial plan can bring peace of mind and reduce stress in relationships
Brittany takes a personal, values-driven approach to financial planning, helping individuals, families, and business owners create clear plans that reduce stress, protect what matters most, and support the life they want to live.
This episode is your reminder: financial planning doesn’t have to feel overwhelming — having a plan can actually bring more peace, less stress, and confidence to your everyday life.
