Money on Your Mind? Let’s Talk Mental Health and Finances.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. It’s a time to open up, check in, and remind ourselves (and each other) that it’s okay to not be okay.

At Maple, we believe mental wellness and financial wellness go hand in hand. One deeply affects the other. And if you’ve ever lost sleep over a bill, you know exactly what we mean.

Let’s be honest: Money is one of the biggest stressors in everyday life. Whether it’s debt, rising costs, or just trying to make ends meet, financial pressure can quietly take a toll on your mental health.

Stress can lead to anxiety. Anxiety can lead to avoidance. And before you know it, unopened bills are piling up on the counter – not because you don’t care, but because it just feels too much.

The truth? So many people are in the same boat. We’re all figuring it out. And sometimes, just knowing you’re not alone is the first step toward clarity.

This May, let’s shift the conversation. Let’s talk about money and mental health in the same sentence. Because your emotional well-being matters just as much as your credit score.

Improving your financial wellness is a journey, and it doesn’t happen overnight. Just like mental health, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about making one decision today that helps tomorrow feel a little lighter.
