In this episode, I open up about the foundational spiritual and money work I’ve done with Wisdom & Money. You'll also hear about the spiritual practices that helped me embrace both the structured and the intuitive sides of my financial work. From silent retreats to shadow play, and from difficult career decisions to joining a nonprofit board, this episode brings together the playful, the profound, and the practical. I reflect on what it means to bring our full selves—including our quirks and contradictions—to conversations about money. My hope is that my story helps others feel less alone in their questions about wealth, values, and the kind of world we want to build.
