Podcast

In this episode I (alongside former co-host Garrett Philbin) sit down with Jen Hemphill, a Money Confidence Coach, an AFC® (Accredited Financial Counselor), and host of the Her Money Matters® Podcast.  Her first book Her Money Matters: The Missing Truths From Traditional Money Advice helps to fill the missing gaps for when you are financially stuck.

Jen has a unique perspective on how our money stories translate into fear around our money and how that affects our day-to-day decisions. We dive into how we can begin to shift our fears into being more confident in our financials lives. We also share how to incorporate self-care practices to relieve stress and fear (it doesn’t cost a lot, trust us!), ways to find the community to help you grow, and so much more.

What is a meaningful life and how can money become a tool to create it? What happens when we’re so focused on making money we forget to smell the roses and appreciate life?

In this episode, I (alongside former co-host Garrett Philbin)  sit down with Leisa Peterson, founder of WealthClinic and the host of the Art of Abundance podcast. We wanted to have Leisa on because she has a unique way of combining mindfulness practices into her work with money. We dive into how to define what a meaningful life looks like, how you know if you’re using money to achieve it, and the work we need to do in order to do so.

Is forgiveness really that crucial to a healthy financial life? If so, how can we incorporate it into our daily lives?

I ((alongside former co-host Garrett Philbin) explore why forgiveness doesn’t mean talking about the “dumb” mistakes we make with money. In fact, it has nothing to do with forgetting the decisions we’ve made or the situations we find ourselves in. This time, Garrett is under the microscope as him and I talk about who forgiveness is really for, how to let go of expectations, and exercises to practice forgiveness in our financial lives.

Does being rich mean all your problems go away?

In theory, yes.

In reality, far from it.

Former co-host Garrett Philbin and I invited Megan Gill to chat with us about how someone with a large amount of wealth has to manage their relationships. It’s equal parts uncomfortable and uplifting as Megan shares the shame and guilt that comes with being a “trust fund” kid. She lays it all out there, from the need to hide in her shell, to working through the shame in therapy, and her desire to be seen as a valid member of society.
