With rising prices all around, how do people keep cool when thinking about their financial future?

Kauaʻi-based writer Tari K. Vickery is out with a new book called “The Emotional Side of Money: A Roadmap to Financial Wellness.”

The book walks through why it's so hard to talk about money and guides readers on how they can achieve a sense of peace when thinking about finances.

HPR spoke with Vickery, who seemed especially at ease on the lanai of her Kauaʻi home.

“The Emotional Side of Money: A Roadmap to Financial Wellness” is available here.
