GREENFIELD, M.A. (Franklin County Now) — How do you grow something meaningful without losing the very soul that made it matter in the first place? In this episode of Financial Fitness with The Money Doctor, Dr. Frances Rahaim opens up about exactly that — the heart behind HUG Your Money™, why it’s expanding, and how it’s doing so without sacrificing the compassion, privacy, and human connection people count on.
Dr. Rahaim reflects on real-world companies that scaled with integrity (and some that didn’t), and she shares how those lessons shaped HUG’s own path forward. You’ll also hear the backstory of Dr. FinWell, HUG’s trusted guide for schools and employers — and why keeping financial wellness deeply personal is essential for true change. This conversation is warm, honest, and hopeful, reminding us that growth doesn’t have to mean losing your heart. In the right hands, it can actually make that heartbeat louder.
