Money, Boundaries & Kids: Healing Financial Wounds with Dr. Tavari Brown | EP 11

How do you actually break free from money guilt, financial fear, and the urge to buy your way into being a “good” parent or partner?

In this honest, hilarious, and powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Tavari Brown—a Georgia-based therapist, coach, and speaker with nearly 30 years of experience helping high-achievers set boundaries and stop people-pleasing. Together, we unpack the emotional baggage we all carry around money, and how that impacts our relationships, parenting, and personal peace.

We open with a fun lightning round game: “Is it boundaries or budget?” (Spoiler: It’s almost always boundaries.) Then we dive deep into how money wounds show up in parenting, marriages, and business—and how summer is actually a perfect time to start having value-based conversations with your kids about finances, wants vs. needs, and emotional spending.

This episode is part unfiltered therapy, part financial reframe, and a whole lot of wisdom.

We cover:

• The truth about people-pleasing and overspending

• How to teach your kids money values without guilt

• The cultural and systemic layers behind our money fears

• Why your trauma might be disguised as ambition

• The difference between being generous and being self-sacrificing

Whether you're a mom trying to avoid the Amazon toy trap or a woman untangling her financial worth from her identity, this episode will speak to your soul—and your wallet.
