Do you hate election season? Do you dread its effect on your money? You are not alone. In fact, many of my clients speak of stress related to the incessant political news, debates, and doomsday predictions. If you are worried about how these changes might affect your investments or the financial landscape in your life, you’re certainly under a lot of pressure.

Perhaps it is the deprivation of sleep over questions such as:

Will the market collapse?
Should I pull my investments?
What if I get it wrong?

It’s pretty easy to let these worries spin out of control when you’re hit with all the worst-case scenarios. But the thing is, you don’t have to become one of election-induced financial stress victims.

As a Certified Financial Therapist, I stand ready to help you emotion-proof your portfolio and regain your peace of mind. With the right approach, you can make it all the way through the political storm without losing one minute of sleep, knowing that your financial decisions are grounded in strategy, not fear.

Ready to start sleeping at night?

Let’s break down my 4-step SWAN strategy—designed specifically to help you stop stressing and take back control of your financial future.

1. S – Sleep (Set a Goal)

Setting clear financial goals is the first step toward peace of mind. Knowing what you are trying to do does not make you immune to short-term election volatility; however, it will focus on your long-term goals and build a plan that reflects your unique needs—not the headlines

3. A – At (Analyze Fact from Fiction)

Easier said than done in an election year. With fear-mongering headlines and market fluctuations, you would think it’s time to panic. But before you react, let’s sift through the facts. Are we talking about risk, or is it just speculation?
