Why does talking about money feel so hard? In this episode, Kim and Louise are joined by financial and art therapist Rachel Duncan of The Money Healing Club to unpack the tangled emotions so many of us carry around money.
Together, we explore:
- How shame shows up in our financial stories
- The cultural and systemic roots of money avoidance
- Why budgeting isn’t always the first step
- How art therapy can unlock healing and rewire old beliefs
- The intersection of nervous system regulation and financial well-being
Rachel shares a gentle and radically compassionate approach to money that centers self-trust, creativity, and community. Whether you’ve struggled with scarcity, felt like you’re “bad with money,” or simply want a new way to relate to your finances, this conversation offers both insight and relief.
“The more money you have, the more you think about money. Safety doesn’t come from having more; it comes from knowing how to be with it.” - Rachel Duncan
