Rehab Your Finances
Healthcare and education professionals spend their careers caring for others—often at the expense of their own financial clarity and security. At some point, many of us quietly wonder, “Who’s taking care of me?”
Hosted by Mike Powers, physical therapist and full-time educator, this podcast examines personal finance through the shared culture, constraints, and values of healthcare and education. Like good clinical care and effective teaching, personal finance lives at the intersection of evidence, judgment, and human behavior. Each episode helps you place data and strategy within the context of your goals, priorities, and psychology—so you can move forward with confidence and intention.
