Dear Money Adventurer, I love talking about our relationship with and to money because I have seen the transformation that follows in the wake of intimate, authentic money conversations. I’ve been on a little bit of a podcast tour for the last few months, and today I want to share one of my most recent interviews with you, including a little sneak peek behind the scenes. This interview with Accounting Alchemy Network, a community for holistic accountants, is a story…
