Beyond Finance recently launched its High Cost of Holiday Cheer national survey to better understand how money stress impacts Americans’ mental health and relationships during the holiday season. The findings revealed a troubling reality: Financial anxiety, social pressure, and emotional spending are driving Americans deeper into stress and debt.
To lead the national conversation, Beyond Finance’s Chief Financial Wellness Advisor Dr. Erika Rasure provided expert commentary that reframed holiday financial stress not as a personal failure, but as a widespread, and addressable, wellness issue.
As part of the campaign, Dr. Rasure participated in interviews with TV and radio stations across the country, translating complex emotion-finance dynamics into accessible, empathetic guidance for consumers nationwide. Her commentary reached over 87 million viewers and readers across top-tier national and regional news outlets.
Beyond Finance’s holiday campaign reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to addressing the emotional side of debt and financial stress. By meeting people where they are with empathy, education, and expert guidance, Beyond Finance continues to redefine what financial wellness truly means.
