Dear Money Adventurer, It was a typical night in the Tessler-Linden household, a few weeks ago, when an impromptu money date with my husband resulted in a change of plans for our family.

It is perfectly positioned amongst the sage of the high desert and conveniently only a mile down the road from the land we finally closed on just one month ago. It’s the space that…
Dear Money Adventurer, Learning how to work with your money emotions and understand your money story while growing through life is difficult for anyone to navigate. For partners committed to sharing their lives, it isn’t just your own money emotions and stories that you need to learn to create space for. You have to figure out how to honor each other’s money journey, emotions, and stories, too. But how do you do that when you never learned how to engage…

Dear Money Adventurer, “Charge what you’re worth!” “Raise your rates every year!” “Don’t leave money on the table!” This seemingly well-meaning advice is often framed as encouragement. But, honestly, I feel stressed out just reading that. Do you? This is the kind of traditional money advice the world has to offer us. Is there a time and place for this kind of financial guidance?
