Episode summary
On this week’s episode Rachel talks with Tari Vickery, a wealth manager and author of The Emotional Side of Money, who has spent decades helping people untangle the money stories they inherited.
They get into why security never arrives at the number you're chasing, how to talk to kids about money without saying "we can't afford it," and how to find the practice that actually calms your nervous system. A warm, story-rich conversation on the Money Healing Club podcast about turning the legacy you were handed into one you choose.
💬 "The security comes from within ourselves of knowing that whatever comes, I will deal with it and I'm gonna be okay." - Tari Vickery
In this episode:
Why the security you're chasing probably isn't a number
How to tell the difference between real scarcity and a scarcity mindset
What "we can't afford it" might actually be teaching your kids
How to find the money practice that calms your nervous system, not someone else's
