Dear Money Adventurer, I’ve shared this story before, but I think it’s worth sharing again because I get asked this question so often: “What are you reading, Bari? And more specifically, what money books are you reading?” Just yesterday, I was asked this question during an Art of Money book club meeting. It was then that I answered honestly that even though I read a lot, I RARELY read books about money. Everyone was shocked. Sure, at the beginning of…

Dear Money Adventurer, One of my favorite things about working with money is the intimate connections we forge with trust and authenticity every time we delve into these waters. From the mundane moments to the soulfully deep places where the desires of our hearts reside, here we explore our stories and patterns, finding forgiveness to release the past, and begin a new chapter in our money journey. Here we discover that our relationship with money is like a river, flowing…

Dear Money Adventurer, I love the connection that we share here.

As we step into unpacking these personal money stories, we dance with the “micro” side of money – intimately personal and soulfully deep. This is inside out work, rooted within your own psyche, your body, and your daily life. Yet, it becomes impossible not to see…

Whether speaking to facts and data, or experiences that challenged or shifted how we make decisions, pursue our aspirations, and align our day to day living with our deeper values.
