Episode Summary What if the way you've been taught to think about time and money is fundamentally wrong? On this episode of the Money Healing Club podcast, Rachel welcomes Becca Rich, a holistic time coach and self-described money disruptor, to explore how both time and money function as cyclical resources rather than linear commodities we trade.   Together, they unpack why seasonal planning feels safer than rigid schedules, how to build a life that doesn't require you to "earn your rest," and what menstrual cycles can teach us about sustainable planning. Becca brings systems thinking, somatic wisdom, and spiritual depth to challenge our capitalist conditioning around productivity and worth.   This episode includes a gentle discussion about menstruation and body-based timekeeping, skip ahead or lean in, depending on what feels right for you today.   💬 "Approaching anything in a linear way makes us less honest because anything linear is a lie. It's neglecting our true nature." — Becca Rich   Key Takeaways Time and money are cyclical, not linear and understanding this shift can transform your relationship with both resources The belief that "if you give, it will come back" can sometimes gaslight us into ignoring systemic inequalities Procrastination doesn't exist, there are always valid reasons why we do or don't do things Consistency is overrated; what we actually crave is self-trust and safety Planning during low-energy phases (like menstruation or winter) sets you up for realistic success during high-energy times Your body already knows what you need, muscle testing and somatic check-ins are powerful tools   About Becca Rich Becca Rich is a holistic time coach who helps people unravel survival strategies that keep them overworking, overscheduling, and disconnected from their actual needs. With a focus on neurodivergence, capitalism's impact, and creative work, Becca brings a rare blend of systems thinking and somatic wisdom to conversations about time, productivity, and rest.

Rachel also shares practical tips for what to do with all that time you're not doom-scrolling.   "I cannot be alarmed to be alive anymore. Everything on social media is a sell, is selling you something. My social now is a bird app - I listen to the birds and I love it." - Shae Shaw   Key Takeaways: Leaving social media is a process with real costs and benefits - it's not just willpower Every "no" needs a "yes" - replace social media time with something intentional Revisit hobbies you loved as a kid to find non-numbing outlets If family uses social media to stay connected, find alternative ways (WhatsApp, Marco Polo, voice memos) Business owners face unique challenges with platform restrictions on web versions   Featured Voices: Tamara Mendelson - Educator, writer, positivity mentor and divorce coach (tamara.mendelson@gmail.com) Shae Shaw - The Party Poet (partypoet.love)   EPISODE BREAKDOWN 02:00 | Tamara's Question: Quick Fixes That Add Joy What else can you do besides leaving social media to spend less and feel better? 04:45 | Rachel's Answer: Rediscover Your Kid Self How childhood hobbies reveal what brings you authentic joy 10:00 | Shae's Declaration: "I Cannot Be Alarmed To Be Alive" A poet's righteous rebellion against the attention economy 13:00 | The Business Owner's Dilemma Why it's so hard to be halfway in when platforms restrict web access   Resources Mentioned "Your Attention Is Sacred Except on Social Media" by Amelia Hruby   Join the Conversation What's YOUR social media story?

EPISODE SUMMARY   What if the real problem isn't your spending habits, but where your attention goes? In this episode of the Money Healing Club Podcast, Rachel chats with Amelia Hruby, author of "Your Attention Is Sacred (Except on Social Media)," to unpack the hidden connections between social media addiction and impulse spending. They explore why the "attention economy" is built on a false premise, how algorithms are literally designed to extract money from us, and why leaving social media might be the most powerful money hack you've never tried. Plus: what tomatoes and radishes can teach us about cultivating attention.   "Nobody will value your work more than you do. The fastest money hack I have to offer is get off of social media because you will see less stuff, so you will want less stuff, and you will buy less stuff."   Key Takeaways: The attention economy treats your attention as scarce when it's actually infinite and expansive Social media is designed to convince you of problems you didn't know you had - that purchases can solve Hyper-personalized advertising knows exactly when you're vulnerable and exactly what to sell you Leaving social media can dramatically reduce impulse spending without willpower Start small with pleasure-based practices rather than restricting your "worst" habits   About Amelia Hruby: Amelia Hruby is a feminist writer, podcaster, and producer with a PhD in philosophy. She's the founder of Softer Sounds Podcast Studio and host of Off The Grid, a podcast about leaving social media. Her new book "Your Attention Is Sacred (Except on Social Media)" comes out in October 2025.   EPISODE BREAKDOWN 04:00 | What's Wrong With The Attention Economy? Breaking down how attention became a commodity and why that's fundamentally flawed 12:00 | The Etymology of Attention Why "stretching toward" reveals attention as infinite, not scarce 26:00 | The Toxic Relationship Revelation Amelia's breakthrough moment that led her to quit social media 35:00 | The Direct Link Between Social Media and Spending Real examples of purchases we didn't need until algorithms told us we did 47:00 | Five Principles for Gardening Your Attention From exploring what's present to lingering with what's regenerative   Resources Mentioned "Your Attention Is Sacred (Except on Social Media)" by Amelia Hruby Off The Grid podcast - Amelia's show about leaving social media Jaron Lanier's "Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now" "The Social Dilemma" documentary Softer Sounds Studio - Amelia's podcast studio   Join the Conversation What's your relationship with social media right now?

EPISODE SUMMARY What's your stickiest money block? For many entrepreneurs and service providers, it's raising rates - even when we know we deserve more. In this episode of the Money Healing Club Podcast, Rachel(Certified Financial Therapist) speaks with Sarah Mac, money witch and business strategist, to tackle a listener's question about overcoming self-worth issues and cultural conditioning around charging what you're worth. They dive deep into the emotional blocks that keep us small, practical strategies for pricing with confidence, and why being uncomfortable might mean you're doing it right.   "Nobody will value your work more than you do. You have to be able to lead with that. You have to be able to celebrate yourself, and if you can't do that, don't expect other people to have the confidence to invest in you."   Key Takeaways: Cultural conditioning (especially British "don't boast" mentality) creates deep blocks around money Confidence comes through evidence and taking action, not just thinking about it Your discomfort when raising rates often signals you're on the right track Being a "permission slip" for others helps reframe individual pricing decisions as cultural change You can't help everyone - and trying to often means helping no one well   About Sarah Mac: Sarah Mac is a creative brand strategist, money witch, and business astrologer who helps magical entrepreneurs have six-figure years. She's the author of "The Six Figure Creative" and host of the Creative Magic Club podcast, originally from the UK and now living in Los Angeles.   EPISODE BREAKDOWN 04:00 | The Post-It Note Strategy - Sarah's simple method for conditioning yourself to higher income goals 08:00 | Finding Your Stretch Number - How to identify pricing that feels exciting but believable 12:30 | Cultural Blocks: The British "Don't Boast" Problem - Why cultural conditioning makes money conversations extra challenging 18:00 | Becoming Your Own Best Client - The fastest path to confidence in your pricing and services   Resources Mentioned "The Six Figure Creative: Heal Your Relationship With Money Doing Work You Love" by Sarah Mac Creative Magic Club podcast - Sarah's show on pricing, money, and using astrology in business   Join the Conversation Are you struggling to raise your rates?

EPISODE SUMMARY What does it take to pioneer an entire field? Rachel sits down with Bari Tessler, the woman who literally invented financial therapy 25 years ago, just before Bari steps into a well-deserved sabbatical. They dive deep into why therapists weren't taught about money, how somatic psychology saved Bari's life, and what your Enneagram type reveals about your money patterns. This is a rare glimpse into the mind of a true trailblazer who transformed how we think about money and healing.   "The doorway of money leads to all of those other things... our sense of value and worth, how we communicate, how we don't, our sense of self, intimacy. It really touches everything."   Key Takeaways: Therapists need their own money work before they can ethically help clients with theirs Financial therapy addresses both micro (personal) and macro (systemic) money issues Your Enneagram type reveals predictable patterns in how you handle money Money work is a "trailhead" that leads to deeper healing and wholeness Making money practices sensory-rich helps heal financial trauma   About Bari Tessler: Bari is the founder of financial therapy as we know it today. Her bestselling books "The Art of Money" and "The Art of Money Workbook" have guided thousands through money healing. After 25 years of teaching, she's stepping into sabbatical to answer a new calling.   EPISODE BREAKDOWN 02:30 | Why Therapists Aren't Taught About Money The shocking gap in mental health training and why it's ethically negligent 08:30 | From Somatic Psychology to Money Work How body-based therapy became the foundation for financial healing 16:00 | Micro vs Macro: Both Matter Why individual money work AND systemic change are both essential 25:30 | Your Enneagram Type & Money Patterns How personality drives predictable financial behaviors and blind spots 32:00 | The Red Phone in the Desert Bari's mysterious calling away from financial therapy after 25 years Resources Mentioned "The Art of Money" by Bari Tessler - The foundational text of financial therapy "The Art of Money Workbook" by Bari Tessler - Interactive companion guide "The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up" - Rachel's current read on personality and growth   Join the Conversation What's your Enneagram type and how do you see it showing up in your money life?

EPISODE SUMMARY Here we go with the #2 most common word I hear about money: AVOIDANCE. (Remember what the #1 is? That's right: SHAME). Do you avoid your money like… the plague? or more accurately, the GYM?? Let's go deeper.   In this episode, Rachel responds to a listener question about the lifelong habit of retreating from money tasks — even when you know you’ll feel better afterwards. Rachel unpacks why money avoidance is such a common (and understandable) coping strategy, what it has to do with trauma responses, and how to gently shift the pattern. From nervous system safety to body doubling to internal family systems (IFS), Rachel shares compassionate tools for learning how to stay with your money — even when it feels hard.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Avoidance isn’t laziness — it’s your body’s way of saying, “i just can't. it's too much right now.” Capitalism profits from our disconnection (late fees, overdrafts, interest charges). Money avoidance is often a mix of trauma responses: fight, freeze, flight, fawn, flop, fib. Safety comes first in trauma healing: sometimes you need community or body doubling to signal “this is okay.” Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you meet the parts of you that avoid money with compassion, not criticism. Small, doable tasks + no-cost celebrations (walk, disco dance, doodle) can shift the cycle.   RESOURCES MENTIONED 1. Past episode with Sydney Harbosky on tapping for accessible money-safety. 2.

EPISODE SUMMARY What if your body holds the key to healing your relationship with money? Rachel speaks with Jessica Boots, author of "It's All Connected: an interactive leadership and healing journey through the chakras". We explore how the seven chakras can guide us through our money healing journey, as well as our leadership. From root chakra security up to crown chakra wisdom, we unpack how each energy center shows up in our financial lives, each center with its gifts and shadows.   Key Takeaways: Your money challenges might show up differently in each chakra - from root chakra fear to sacral chakra guilt to crown chakra attachment The framework works whether or not you believe in chakras - think of it as multiple ways of knowing Each energy center has both gifts and shadows that affect how we handle money Integration happens when we honor the wisdom of all parts of ourselves   About Jessica Boots: Jess is a writer, leadership coach, yoga teacher, and mama who founded Lead and Be Well. Her debut book "It's All Connected" guides readers through an interactive leadership and healing journey using the chakra framework.   ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN 01:30 | Root Chakra: Safety, Values & Your "Enough" Point How your foundation shows up in money decisions 07:00 | Sacral Chakra: Pleasure, Guilt & What You Deserve Moving from "I need" to "I want" - and the guilt that follows 13:00 | Heart Chakra: Generosity, Grief & Financial Forgiveness When love-based money decisions create complicated feelings 20:30 | Third Eye: Trusting Your Financial Intuition Balancing data with body wisdom in money choices   📚 Resources Mentioned "It's All Connected" by Jessica Boots   💬 Join the Conversation Have you ever noticed how different money decisions feel in your body?

EPISODE SUMMARY When money stress sends you into complete panic mode, sometimes your logical brain knows everything is probably fine... it's a weird dual feeling that happens to all of us. Rachel explores the wild emotional rollercoaster of high-stakes money moments - like home renovations, real estate transactions, and banking delays - and introduces a powerful framework for moving from reactive panic to thoughtful response. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, she guides you through understanding the different "parts" of yourself that show up during financial stress.   💬 "A part is feeling unsafe, but I'm not actually in danger when I look around. There's one aspect that is maybe triggering something from my past, but if I look around, I'm actually okay right now."   Key Takeaways: Your financial stress response makes complete sense - money is always tied to safety You have different internal "parts" (managers, firefighters) all trying to protect you in their own way The goal isn't to silence these parts, but to lead from your essential self - the calm, compassionate center You don't have to navigate financial stress alone - gather your support team Sometimes the rush to get out of discomfort actually creates more problems   ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN 02:00 | Why House Money Feels Different: The unique emotional quality of real estate transactions and renovations 07:00 | Meet Your Internal Parts: Introduction to Internal Family Systems and your inner protective team 10:30 | The Manager Part: The organized, controlled part that wants to tamp down emotions 14:30 | The Firefighter Part: The reactive part that catastrophizes to prepare you for the worst 21:00 | Becoming Self-Led: How to respond instead of react from your essential self   📚 Resources Mentioned 1.

Financial Art Therapist, Rachel Duncan answers a listener's beautifully simple question "How do I get started? Is it too late to start? How many people are in the group?" Rachel shares exactly what happens inside the Money Healing Club membership, addresses common fears about sharing money struggles in a group setting, and explains why her approach focuses on decreasing shame and increasing self-love rather than strict budgets and accountability. Listen in to form a clearer picture of what deeper money healing could look like. 💬 "You don't have to be perfect to start. No one is perfect. You just have to be curious enough to try a new approach to money." - Rachel Duncan Key takeaways from the episode: • The Money Healing Club doors are always open—no cohorts, start dates, or perfect timing required. We also have a course for private learning. • Shame thrives in darkness; community and witnessing can be powerful tools for moving through money shame • You're never required to share financial details or numbers in the Club. Only insights, struggles, and experiments • Real change often comes from decreasing shame and increasing mindfulness rather than strict tracking or budgets • The Club is small and growing, with 4-8 people typically joining live events • ADHD or neurodivergence are welcomed and celebrated in the Club.   ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN What's Inside the Money Healing Club [00:02:19 - 00:03:16] Rachel explains the membership structure: always-open doors, 2-3 weekly events, seasonal themes, gentle challenges, and recorded sessions for catch-up. Is It Too Late to Start? [00:03:34 - 00:04:02] Addressing the fear that it's too late to begin money healing work, Rachel emphasizes that starting now still matters and it's never too late to improve your relationship with money. Group Dynamics and Sharing Fears [00:04:42 - 00:06:14] Rachel tackles the biggest fear: having to share money problems in a group. She explains the gentle, no-pressure approach and how shame heals through witnessing others' experiences. What the Club Is NOT [00:06:14 - 00:07:31] Important clarifications: not therapy, no investment advice, and surprisingly—budgets aren't the main focus. 📚 Resources Mentioned • The Money Healing Club Membership - Main offering with open doors, live events, courses, and community • 12 Week Roadmap to Money Healing Course - Standalone option for private, solo learning • Quarterly Money Organizing Challenge - Seasonal intensive within the club   🎧 Your next listen: How I Became a Financial Art Therapist 💫 Use code PODCAST for 50% off your first month and start your money healing process! https://www.moneyhealingclub.com/club Full transcript: https://www.moneyhealingclub.com/podcast 🎙️We're a proud member of the Feminist Podcasters Collective where creators like me are uplifting diverse voices and driving meaningful change.

Ever feel caught between wanting to contribute to the greater good and wondering how you can actually afford to? In this episode, Rachel sits down with Jasmine Rashid, author of The Financial Activist Playbook and a powerhouse in the impact investing world. Jasmine has helped shift billions of dollars away from harmful industries and toward social justice causes, all while navigating her own relationship with money under capitalism.   They dive deep into the reality of wealth hoarding, the power of community as a form of wealth, and how to redirect guilt-driven over-donating into sustainable activism. Plus, Jasmine shares why humor is her secret weapon for making finance and activism less scary and more accessible.   💬 "Nothing great has come from taking myself too seriously. The stakes are high, it's dire out here, and at the same time, we might as well make it as enjoyable as it can be under the systems we find ourselves in."   Key Takeaways: Scarcity is manufactured - wealth hoarding by billionaires is the real problem, not your personal spending Community wealth and social capital are just as valuable as financial capital Over-donating from guilt often comes at the expense of your own wellbeing and sustainability Pre-planning your giving budget helps you contribute without depleting yourself Humor and lightness aren't frivolous - they're necessary for learning and healing money trauma   Guest Info: Jasmine Rashid is a New York-raised, Oakland-based Bangladeshi American financial activist, writer, and impact investing professional. She's a trauma of money methods certified practitioner and served as Director of Impact for Candide Group for six years. This conversation felt like getting wisdom from a wise friend who's figured out how to do good in the world without sacrificing herself in the process.

After 35 years in IT, John reinvented himself as a financial therapist and brings both professional expertise and personal experience to help people navigate the psychological complexities of retirement. They explore the anxiety of managing a larger pile of money than you've ever had to manage before, the identity crisis of "who am I if I'm not working?", and the complicated family dynamics that emerge when adult children are struggling financially while their retired parents sit on retirement savings. 💬 "We viewed our future-selves as strangers... what can we do to improve our relationship with our future self?" - John Hankins Key Takeaways: The 401k generation faces unique psychological challenges compared to the pension generation Moving from "accumulation phase" to "withdrawal phase" requires a complete mental shift Many retirees struggle with identity issues beyond just financial concerns The concept of "future self" can help bridge the gap between present decisions and future needs Intergenerational financial dynamics create complex guilt and boundary issues Guest Info: John Hankins is a licensed clinical social worker and certified financial therapist who specializes in working with people navigating the psychological complexities of retirement.

Does clothing hold a special place in your heart and wallet? Rachel explores the deeply emotional relationship between clothing, identity, and impulse spending with stylist Kyla Brown. This conversation goes beyond fashion tips to examine how our wardrobe choices reflect our inner journey of self-acceptance, belonging, and the difference between shopping for who we are versus who we fantasize being. Kyla shares her essential wardrobe checklist and transforms how you think about curating versus consuming.   💬 "Shopping is the act of: I'm just out here looking for things to buy. Curating is saying 'I'm building a collection of things that are going to serve me in some way, shape, or form'.

Do you feel numb or panicked when you even think about checking your bank account? If your body takes over when money topics come up, you're not alone - this might be financial trauma. In this episode, financial therapist Rachel Duncan sits down with Sydney Harbosky, a certified EFT practitioner, to explore how Emotional Freedom Technique (also called "tapping") can help heal your relationship with money — BODY FIRST. Sydney guides us through what tapping is, how it works with your nervous system, and even leads us through a mini tapping session you can follow along with at home. 💬 "I was going to therapy. I'd have a coach. I was reading all the things and still something was stopping me from doing what I needed to do, and I was like, this has to be the body at this point." - Sydney Harbosky Guest info: Sydney Harbosky is a Certified EFT practitioner who helps people transform their relationship with money and creativity through tapping.

The Interview Process and Group Sessions [00:23:00 - 00:26:00] Sydney explains how she prepares for tapping sessions, using participants' exact words to activate their nervous system before introducing positive reframes. Beyond Money: Other Uses for Tapping [00:26:00 - 00:29:00] Sydney shares how she uses tapping with creative blocks, working with artists and musicians when they know what they should be doing but something is stopping them. 🫴 Basic Tapping Points (in order): Side of hand (the "karate chop" point) - Start here for setup statements Top of head Inside of eyebrows Side of eyes (where your eyelids meet) Under eyes (on cheekbones) Under nose (tapping finger like a little mustache) Under chin (tapping finger like a little mustache) Collarbone (back to two hands) Under one armpit (raise arm and use other hand to tap - about 4 inches down from pit) Wrists together (cross your hands) Pressure: Like tapping someone at a concert to get their attention—firm but not painful Frequency: Tap, tap, tap, tap about twice per second (you can go faster or slower, whatever feels right) 💝 Sample Tapping Sequence for Money Anxiety: Setup (side of hand): "Even though I feel anxious about looking at my account, I choose to deeply and completely love, accept, and forgive myself." Tapping Points: Top of head: "I have this tight feeling in my chest" Eyebrows: "I don't want to look" Side of eyes: "What if it's worse than I think?" Under eyes: "I feel frozen just thinking about it" Under nose: "I have so much shame around money" Under chin: "I judge myself for avoiding it" Collarbone: "I judge myself for avoiding it" Under arm: "I judge myself for avoiding it" Top of head: "Even though I judge myself for avoiding it, I choose to deeply and completely love, accept and forgive myself" Positive Round: Eyebrows: "I want to feel safe with money" Side of eyes: "I'm open to more calm around money" Under eyes: "And so it is" 📚 Resources Mentioned Sydney Harbosky's website: sydneyharbos

How do you overcome a scarcity mindset when it was essential for your family's survival? Financial therapist Rachel Duncan responds to a listener's question about breaking free from the scarcity scripts inherited from immigrant parents. Rachel explores how financial trauma gets passed down through generations and offers a step-by-step process for honoring your family's experiences while creating new money scripts that serve your present reality. 💬 "I'm doing money differently than my parents did, and that's okay because they raised me to be smart and watchful. I will always look out for my safety." - Rachel Duncan Key takeaways from the episode: Immigration often involves significant financial trauma that shapes family money scripts Scarcity mindsets that were once survival mechanisms can become rigid identities Rewriting money scripts should honor the original intent (safety) while allowing for growth Financial healing isn't about rejecting your heritage but expanding what's possible Recovery from financial trauma means integrating past challenges into a fuller life story ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN Understanding Financial Trauma [00:02:08 - 00:04:16] Rachel explains how financial trauma develops and manifests through fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses in relation to money.

The Purpose Behind Family Money Scripts [00:07:08 - 00:08:54] Discussion of how family money scripts often come from a place of wanting to keep you safe, rather than just being arbitrary rules. Step-by-Step Script Rewriting Process [00:08:54 - 00:16:30] Rachel walks through a detailed process for identifying, examining, and thoughtfully rewriting inherited money scripts to create flexibility while maintaining safety. [See below] Examples of Transformed Money Scripts [00:16:59 - 00:19:15] Several examples of common limiting money beliefs and how they can be reframed into more supportive, flexible scripts that honor both safety and growth. 📝 Money Script Rewriting Process Step 1: Identify Your Current Scripts Complete these prompts to uncover your inherited money beliefs: Money is... Income is... Spending is... Expensive things are... Enough looks like... Being "good with money" looks like... Debt is... Credit cards are... Wealth is... Step 2: Examine the Language Circle one sentence that feels like a block to your growth Identify absolute, extreme, or black-and-white words (never, always, don't, must) Note words with moral judgment (bad, stupid, evil, greedy) Step 3: Understand the Historical Context Where did this script come from in your family's history? What economic conditions shaped this belief? How did this script help your family survive during challenging times? Step 4: Identify the Protective Intent What is this script trying to protect you from? How was this belief meant to keep you safe? What values does this script reflect? Step 5: Rewrite with Flexible Language Update the script for your current reality Use words like: tools, learning, wisdom, flexibility, consideration Center the script on your agency and choice Maintain the core safety element Allow room for growth and change Step 6: Test Your New Script Imagine saying your revised script to a loving elder Notice if it brings a sense of relief in your body The script should feel both honoring and liberating   💬 Join the Conversation (H3) Do you have a family script about money that you'd like my help to workshop and re-write?

Do you feel shame discussing your money when you're worried about being judged for having too much or too little? We all do this mental gymnastics, and we're here to explore WHY we do it. I'm join by Hanna Horvath, CFP a certified financial planner and money psychology expert, about the complex relationship between money and identity. We talk about class perception, wealth signaling, lifestyle inflation, and the psychological gymnastics you (and we all) perform when discussing financial status with others. 💬 "For most people, money is a part of their identity, and it's a part of how they see the world and their values—an expression of their values. So when you start to unpack that, you really do see how money and wealth can be a way in which people present themselves to the world and want to be perceived." - Hanna Horvath CFP Key takeaways from the episode: Your financial behaviors are often driven by unconscious emotional factors rather than rational decision-making People make remarkably accurate snap judgments about others' income based solely on a neutral photo of their face! Social media has exacerbated lifestyle inflation and distorted your perception of "normal" financial status Generational differences in financial experiences create significant communication gaps Wealth is relative—your perception of your own financial status is heavily influenced by those around you Guest info: Hanna Horvath is a certified financial planner and money psychology expert who explores how money shapes our identity, behaviors, and relationships through her Substack newsletter "Your Brain On Money" and social media channels. ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN Money as Identity [00:02:00 - 00:08:00] Rachel and Hanna discuss how your financial decisions become wrapped up in your identity and how you code-switch depending on who you're talking to about money. The Psychology of Wealth Perception [00:08:00 - 00:15:00] Research shows people can judge others' income level from photographs with a 68% accuracy, and how you subconsciously use "status signalers" to communicate your financial position. Social Media and Lifestyle Inflation [00:15:00 - 00:25:00] How social media has accelerated lifestyle inflation by constantly exposing you to curated displays of wealth and consumption. Generational Money Perspectives [00:25:00 - 00:36:00] Let's contrast the financial realities of different generations, particularly between Baby Boomers and Millennials, and how these differences shape your money narrative. 📚 Resources Mentioned Do I Look Rich to You? - Hanna's article that started it all!

EPISODE SUMMARY Rachel Duncan, Financial Therapist, and Leah Kern, RD, an anti-diet dietician from the Shoulders Down Podcast explore the striking parallels between budget culture and diet culture. How do these two systems use similar tactics of restriction, shame, and unrealistic standards to keep us trapped in destructive cycles? The conversation explores: How both diet and budget culture are rooted in white patriarchy and privilege The binge-restrict cycle that happens with both food and money How understanding the "want beneath the want" can help break these cycles Why shame is never an effective motivator for lasting change 💬 "It's not the money, it's the restriction." Key takeaways from the episode: Both budget culture and diet culture promise simple solutions but fail to address deeper emotional needs The "f- it" moment happens in both cycles when restriction becomes unbearable Progress isn't linear - healing your relationship with money or food means the magnitude and frequency of binges decreases over time Often our spending or eating addresses an unmet need - identifying that "want beneath the want" is crucial Creating micro-moments of pleasure throughout the day helps prevent end-of-day binges Social media normalizes and even celebrates disordered relationships with both food and money True healing often means rebelling against cultural norms and expectations GUEST INFO Leah Kern is an anti-diet dietician, certified intuitive eating counselor, and host of the "Shoulders Down" podcast. She helps people heal their relationship with food and body through intuitive eating principles and challenging diet culture.   ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN [00:15:08] The binge-restrict cycle and how it applies to both money and food [00:23:00] The "want beneath the want" - identifying deeper needs behind impulse spending [00:42:16] Discussion about addiction - parallels and differences with food and money [00:53:46] The impact of social media and "hauls" on our relationship with money 📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED Leah Kern RD - Intuitive Eating Starter Pack The Year of Less - Memoir about overcoming shopping addiction Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy approach Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski - Discussion of the stress cycle 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION Send us your stories of consumer culture, diet culture, and budget culture showing up in ads, marketing or other messaging!
