Join The Soul of Money Voice-Note Book Club
From September 16–October 23, we’re moving from scarcity to Sufficiency and changing our relationship with money through Nature's wisdom.
The entire experience is asynchronous in Voxer. There are no live calls, you only need about 15 minutes a week to participate, and you don’t even have to read the book.

If Money could talk to you, what do you think it would say?
Would it sound disappointed? Judgmental? Demanding?
Or would it sound suspiciously like your parents, your church, or Dave Ramsey?
In this episode, I’m continuing our exploration of the Money Stories we inherit and asking a different question:
If the voice we’ve assigned to Money was actually learned, what happens when we actually let Money Itself speak?
Inspired by Lynne Twist’s book The Soul of Money and her description of Money as “God-in-action,” I explore what it means for me to understand Money instead as Love-in-action—one of the ways we move our resources toward the people, places, work, experiences, Beauty, justice, and healing that our hearts value.
We’ll explore:
Money as a mirror—and also a map
the history and meaning of the phrase Bread and Roses
why Sufficiency is actually something inside of us, not outside of us
what changes when we expand our resourcing beyond just our individual income
what Nature can teach us about our need for both sustenance AND Beauty
the “made-up game” of Money and the difference between questioning its rules and pretending its consequences aren’t real
what it might sound like for Love to tell us the Truth about our Money without using shame
I also share a Love Letter one of my clients, Kristin, wrote to herself from Money after a week of exploring her relationship with debt, freedom, minimalism, Beauty, pleasure, and her desire for both Bread AND Roses.
Her letter contains one of my favorite expressions of Sufficiency: “We can work with that!”
Here is what I have.
Here is what WE have.
Here is what is HERE.
Now what can Love create with it?
