Most of us don’t talk about money, except with our closest friends. But we ALL have money stories. Tough times we survived. Triumphs and gifts. Practical wisdom and soul-deep insights. And when we share our money stories with one another, openly and lovingly? Well, magic happens. We un-shame. We spread confidence and peace of mind and a whole lotta love. Honesty is just the beginning … Please curl up with a cuppa and enjoy this special, intimate interview series: Money Memoirs.
Can you still hear your grandmother’s gravelly voice saying, “waste not, want not” when you’re wondering whether you should splurge on that pair of boots?
Do you feel your great-grandfather’s entrepreneurial blood coursing through your veins, as you consider launching yourself into the online marketplace?
Our money stories aren’t just ours. We carry a whole lineage of financial beliefs, attitudes, and habits. But WE decide what to do with them.
If you want to understand what you’re doing with money — and why — it’s helpful to look back. To recall the first time you got an allowance, how you felt about it, and what you did with it.
But for many of my Art of Money students, it’s helpful to look even farther back. To our parents, grand-parents, and whole lineage. How did they interact with money? Did they survive great scarcity? Did they live opulently yet feel guilty about it? What unanswered questions (or koans) did they pass on to you?
This intimate Money Memoir with Jennifer Lee touches on these themes of lineage — and shows how themes from our past can affect our money life, today.
I know many of you already know Jennifer Lee from her popular book, The Right Brain Business Plan. But today, she’s been gracious (and brave!) enough to pull back the curtain on her business, her health, and her money.
Listen to this vulnerable Money Memoir, in which Jennifer shares:
- The big health challenge she’s been facing — and what it’s taught her about money and work
- How she’s working with the challenging emotions that come up around money
- How she’s challenging the mainstream myths about entrepreneurship — and getting simpler and healthier, instead
- The incredible story of her Japanese-American grandfather — and how it’s still impacting her, today
- How to be an ambitious, free-spirited woman … AND learn to receive support.
