What did you believe about money before you realized you had other options?
In this episode, I’m sharing my own Money Story—and some of the experiences that shaped it long before I realized I was creating one.
My dad’s gambling addiction and my parents’ divorce took my family from upper middle class to below the poverty line when I was around 12–13 years old. At the same time, I was growing up in a conservative, fundamentalist, high-control church where I absorbed complicated messages about money and faith.
Somewhere along the way, those stories became tangled together.
I came to believe that having money was the opposite of having faith—and that maybe God didn’t give me money because He knew I couldn’t be trusted with it.
Nobody ever explicitly taught me that.
But that’s the thing about our Money Stories: we don’t only inherit what people tell us. We make meaning from what happens to us.
In this episode, we explore:
• How childhood, family, religion, culture, and painful experiences shape our relationship with money
• The difference between blame and recognizing how we co-created our own stories
• Why a Money Story doesn't feel like a story and simply feels like reality
• Becoming curious about our beliefs instead of immediately trying to “fix” them
• Why I no longer believe healing means arriving at a final, perfected relationship with money
• My movement from Scarcity → Abundance → Sufficiency
• What the book The Soul of Money helped me understand about money as God in action
• Jesus’ teaching, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”—and what might happen when we intentionally move our treasure
• What it might mean to create a more shame-free, Natural relationship with Money
