4 therapists on a podcast reviewed my book. What could go wrong?

Dear Friend,

I hope all is well with you over there as we head into the somewhat crazy holiday shopping family time part of the year (which for many of us can bring up some money grist for the mill.)

Today, I wanted to drop by your inbox and share a fun story about a recent podcast that I wasn’t part of directly…but the podcast hosts were talking about me and my book for the whole show. (My ears were burning a little.)

Before I get to that story, my husband and I have started a new litt...

Practices for Overcoming Under-Earning

Dear Money Adventurer,

Under-loving. Over-giving, under-receiving. Under-no-ing, over-yes-ing. It has everything to do with your experience of self-worth—whether or not this is reflected in your salary or income.

Finding and claiming your sense of value is a lifelong process. It unfolds over time in baby steps and leaps and then more baby steps.

Overcoming underearning requires both internal and external work.

For today’s money teaching, we offer you some of the internal practices th...

My Mini-Memoir, A Live Retreat, and Some Favorite Things

(Above is a photo of me at 26 that’s a part of my little about page memoir. This is when I was in graduate school for somatic psychology, working in the mental field, working nights at a hospice job, and dancing a lot.)

Hi Friend,

It’s good to take breaks sometimes, right? I just took a newsletter break for a full month to focus on some behind the scenes things and to support the lovely new cohort of students in my live, shorter, Art of Money class.

But here I am, and I’m very happy to ...

Visibility Medicine for Your Business

Dear Money Adventurer,

This is the most popular episode of my Art of Money podcast of all time and I wanted to share it with you again in case you are newer to the community.

This interview is with one of my dearest friends, Danielle Cohen, who joined me on the Art of Money podcast to share her own story of integrating life, money, and business as a woman, a mother, and a creative entrepreneur who has been forging her own path for over 25 years.

Danielle is a visibility coach, professio...

I may not bake this recipe for the program again.

Dear friend,

For a decade and a half I’ve been open about my love of chocolate, but I’ve come to realize recently that there’s something I love even more than chocolate: bread.

So today? You’re getting a baking metaphor.

The oven over here in the Art of Money bakery is all warmed up and ready to go.

I’m about to pop a new version of The Art of Money program into the oven in a few days, but to be honest, this is an experimental recipe and I’m not sure I’ll bake it like this again.

How To Make A Good Money Decision (About A Course On Money)

Dear Money Adventurer,

If I can be direct with you for a moment, registration for the Fall 2024 cohort of The Art of Money closes soon in 4 days (and because this new, shorter, live version of the program is an experiment, I’m not sure when, or if, I’ll be offering this again.)

If you’re reading this and you’re still trying to make a decision about whether or not to join us, I have some help for you.

See, the decision you’re trying to make now is a money decision: Should you spend money...

Gentle head’s up, though: the doors for registering for this cohort of the program are closing soon.

If you’re ne...

This is what can happen when you do Art of Money financial therapy work.

Dear Money Adventurer,

Over the last 23 years of teaching my financial therapy work, I’ve had hundreds of calls with folks, and have received hundreds of emails with details about their relationship with money.

When you’re a part of that many conversations, you hear a lot about the real changes happening in people’s lives as they do their money work.

From one perspective, when you step back and take a look at all the comments, it’s fun to think of these conversations happening in some k...

What’s actually going on under the surface of your money stuff.

Dear Money Adventurer,

Without a doubt, the most obvious recurring pattern I’ve seen in working with thousands of people around money issues is this:

We all have our own unique, interwoven layers that make up the stories we have about money.

When we think about doing any kind of money work, or even do something simple like talk about our financial situation with our intimate partner, different parts of our money story can pop up and give you a basket of not-so-easy emotions.

This is ...
