  • 🧠 Understanding Your Financial Trauma w/ Rahkim Sabree

    🧠 Understanding Your Financial Trauma w/ Rahkim Sabree
    Feb 20 2026
    EPISODE SUMMARY What if your money stress isn't a personal failure, but a wound shaped by systems bigger than you? On this episode of the Money Healing Club podcast, Rachel welcomes Rahkim Sabree, author of "Overcoming Financial Trauma," for a conversation about how financial trauma lives in our bodies, communities, and histories. They explore the six sources of financial trauma, the benefit cliff that keeps people stuck, and what happened when Rahkim lost his home to a fire 30 days before his book launched. This episode validates the collective nature of financial stress and offers real frameworks for healing. 💬 "Many times when we talk about financial trauma, we talk about it through a first person lens that says, 'I experienced this thing.' But when we take a step back, our financial socialization keeps us very isolated. My goal is to help people detach their self-worth from this phenomenon and view it as more of a societal issue." Key Takeaways: Financial trauma is any instance observed or experienced that negatively impacts how you view, interact with, or believe about moneyThe six sources include: genetic/generational, vicarious/observational, workplace, poverty/financial instability, systemic/institutional, and acute financial eventsFinancial fawning in the workplace means regularly crossing your own boundaries to stay employed (and it's a survival strategy)The benefit cliff creates a trap where earning $1 more can cost you thousands in support, preventing economic mobilityOur trauma brains may be operating on "old software" while navigating economic systems built on outdated foundationsCo-regulation practices (like collective breathing) can help us stay present through financial stress About Rahkim Sabree: Rahkim is a nationally recognized financial therapist, speaker, and Forbes contributor. His new book "Overcoming Financial Trauma" introduces a framework for understanding and healing financial wounds, not just managing money better. In October 2025, just 30 days before his book launched, Rahkim lost his home to a fire, experiencing firsthand the very trauma he'd been writing about. ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN 03:00 | Financial trauma as a societal issue: Why isolation around money keeps us from seeing the systemic nature of financial stress. 05:30 | The six sources of financial trauma: Breaking down genetic, observational, workplace, poverty, systemic, and acute trauma. 14:00 | The benefit cliff: When $1 more means losing everything How support systems trap people by cutting off entirely instead of gradually. 22:00 | When the book became real: Losing his home to fire Rahkim's experience of homelessness, vandalism, and trauma 30 days before launching a book on financial trauma. 35:00 | Summon Qi: Somatic practices from childhood How Rahkim's grandfather taught nervous system regulation through drumming and martial arts. 43:00 | Co-regulation on stage: The power of collective breathing before delivering a keynote while processing active trauma. 📚 Resources Mentioned "Overcoming Financial Trauma" by Rahkim Sabree"Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman"The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk "My Grandmother's Hands" by Resmaa Menakem 🔗 Connect with Rahkim Website - https://www.rahkimsabree.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rahkimsabree X - https://x.com/rahkimsabree 💬 Join the Conversation Have you ever felt isolated in your money struggles, only to discover others were going through the same thing?

Stacy is a licensed therapist & a certified financial therapist. Together, Rachel and Stacy unpack how to recognize when you're in the right state to make conscious money decisions, what to do in the Target parking lot when you feel activated, and how to come back to center after overspending. 💬 "The goal is not to always be regulated. No human can exist and nor do we want you to because our survival expects us to be able to have our threat responses work appropriately. We just don't want them to happen at unnecessary times." - Stacy Peterson Key Takeaways: Your spending is not a willpower problem, it's a nervous system awareness processMaking conscious money decisions happens when you're in your "window of resilience"Notice what's happening in your body before making purchases (the Target parking lot check-in)Understand the difference between hyper arousal (activated, anxious) and hypo arousal (shut down, disconnected)Ask yourself: "What is the want beneath the want?" to uncover deeper emotional needsPractice "pendulation", the natural movement between different nervous system statesSelf-compassion is essential when you spend more than you intended About Stacy Peterson: Stacy is a licensed therapist and certified financial therapist with over a decade of experience.

  • 🦥 Your Values + Your Budget, Paso a Paso w/ Ilia Pèrez Your Dinero Doctor

    🦥 Your Values + Your Budget, Paso a Paso w/ Ilia Pèrez Your Dinero Doctor
    Jan 23 2026

    EPISODE SUMMARY

    What does it actually mean to be "good with money" in 2026? In this episode of the Money Healing Club podcast, Rachel sits down with Ilia Pèrez, aka Your Dinero Doctor, a pharmacist and bilingual budget coach who's redefining financial wellness through her signature "Dinero Date" framework. They explore why tracking your money should feel like self-care (complete with croissants and coffee), and how Latina women navigate cultural messages around money and gratitude. This conversation bridges the deeply emotional with the refreshingly practical, perfect for anyone ready to build a money practice that actually sticks.

    💬 "Being good with money is a personal definition. For somebody it can simply mean paying their bills on time. Another person being good with money could be having a certain amount of savings. I think it's being honest with yourself what that personal definition is."

    Key Takeaways:

    • Dinero Dates are weekly money check-ins designed like self-care dates with ambiance, treats, and pleasure
    • Pairing money tasks with sensory comfort is actually trauma healing (your brain starts associating money with positive experiences)
    • Working hard isn't the same as working smart; learning to be strategic with money is a skill we often have to teach ourselves
    • Cultural messages like "God will provide" or "don't be ungrateful" can block us from wanting something different
    • Your values should guide both your present spending AND your future planning

    About Ilia Pèrez: Ilia is a pharmacist and financial coach who offers budget coaching in both English and Spanish through her practice, Your Dinero Doctor. She helps clients build sustainable money habits through her Dinero Date framework and values-based budgeting. When she's not coaching, she loves slow mornings at coffee shops and exploring new places in Puerto Rico.

    ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN

    05:30 | What Is a Dinero Date? How to turn money tracking into actual self-care (candles, croissants, and your favorite corner table included)

    15:00 | Values on a Post-It Note Why Ilia keeps her seven core values visible during every money decision

    23:00 | The Latina Experience: Working Hard vs. Working Smart Navigating cultural messages about gratitude, boundaries, and wanting something different

    31:00 | Introducing The Money Reset How Rachel and Ilia are co-teaching a 90-day program that bridges emotional healing with practical budgeting

    🦔 How to Make Peace with Your Money (Even If You're Not "Naturally Good" at It)
    Jan 9 2026
    EPISODE SUMMARY What if feeling "bad at money" isn't a character flaw but simply a sign you haven't found the right approach yet? In this episode of The Money Healing Club podcast, host Rachel Duncan chats with Carrie Friedberg, money coach, educator, and author of the newly released book At Peace with Money. Carrie shares her own journey from financial fog to confidence, proving that you don't need to be born with a "money gene" to build a healthy relationship with your finances. They explore how treating money like a practice (similar to yoga) can transform your financial life, why tracking your spending is an act of self-respect, and how understanding your unique learning style might be the missing piece in making money habits actually stick. 💬 "Anything is possible in your financial life if you're willing to track your money. What I mean by that is pay attention, tend to the garden of money, remain connected." KEY TAKEAWAYS You don't need to be "naturally good" at money. Building confidence with finances is a practice, not an innate talentTracking your spending (even with apps like Monarch Money or Quicken) is the foundational habit that makes everything else possibleCreate a weekly "money date" where you review spending, categorize transactions, and plan ahead. Treat it like an important appointment you'd never cancelUnderstanding your learning style (visual, kinesthetic, naturalistic, etc.) can help you design money routines that actually work for youIt's okay to hire help (accountants, coaches, experts). Delegating is strategic when you're prepared and engagedPractice "budgeting out loud" so others see that managing money takes real work and intention About Carrie Friedberg Carrie Friedberg is a money coach, educator, and author who spent 15 years helping clients build confidence and peace with their finances through her practice, SF Money Coach. A former classroom teacher who struggled with money herself, Carrie discovered that traditional "just make a budget" advice didn't work for everyone. Her holistic approach combines practical financial skills with emotional awareness and personalized learning styles. Currently back in education while still coaching select clients, Carrie just released her debut book At Peace with Money, which lays out her step-by-step curriculum for financial wellness at any stage of life. ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN 04:00 | The Yoga Mat Revelation How practicing discomfort in yoga translated into financial transformation and why "it shouldn't be this hard" was the turning point 18:00 | The Foundational Money Routine Why tracking your spending (with the right tools and weekly consistency) changes everything, and how to create a "money date" ritual that actually works 23:00 | Learning Styles and Money Discovering Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences and how knowing whether you're kinesthetic, visual, or naturalistic can revolutionize your financial habits 28:00 | The Five Levels of Financial Wellness From tracking to planning to analyzing to relationships to long-term health, here's the roadmap Carrie developed over 15 years of coaching 📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED At Peace with Money by Carrie Friedberg (releasing January 20, 2026)Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences Framework for understanding different learning stylesSF Money Coach Carrie's website with courses and coaching: sfmoneycoach.com 💬 Join the Conversation Have you discovered a money routine that finally clicked for you?

    💼 No BS Advice If Your Self-Esteem Is Getting Hammered in the Job Market
    Dec 26 2025
    EPISODE SUMMARY Facing rejection after rejection in today's brutal job market? You're not alone and you deserve more than "just practice self-care" advice. In this episode of The Money Healing Club podcast, host Rachel Duncan teams up with career advancement coach Shannon Bowen to tackle a raw listener question: How do you keep your self-esteem intact when the job market keeps saying no? They dive deep into what's really going on in today's job market, why generic resumes don't cut it anymore, and how to stand out when hundreds of people are applying for the same position. Plus, they share unconventional income ideas, the power of getting hyper-specific about your strengths, and why the hiring process has become a trust-building exercise on both sides. 💬 "Your core value—you also have to find ways to feed your value. If you're not getting that external validation through a job and a job offer and all these things, you just have to work harder to feed that well of self-esteem." KEY TAKEAWAYS Get radically specific about your unique strengths instead of using generic phrases like "mission-driven professional"Add statistics and proof points to every resume bullet point to build trustCustomize your cover letter like a love letter to each organizationAsk 3-5 friends: "What three words would you use to describe me?" Use their answers in your materialsDon't self-select out of jobs with 10-30% uncertainty. Interview to find out what's negotiableSend thank-you notes after every interview (still matters!)Consider charging for work product requests during interviewsBuild a fallback plan with side income ideas that work for you About Shannon Bowen Shannon Bowen is a career advancement coach, job search strategist, and "salary whisperer" who helps professionals land jobs they love at salaries that support their actual lives. As CEO of Monsoon Leadership and co-president of AFP Advancement Northwest, she brings insider knowledge from years as a nonprofit C-suite leader.

  • 💳 Debt-Free Isn't the Answer

    💳 Debt-Free Isn't the Answer
    Dec 12 2025

    What if paying off debt faster isn't actually the goal? In this episode of The Money Healing Club, Rachel sits down with Haley and Justin Brown-Woods, the husband-wife team behind The Price of Avocado Toast, to reframe everything you thought you knew about debt. They discuss why the first step isn’t spreadsheets but childhood patterns, how the “whatever’s left” approach keeps you stuck, and why wealthy people don’t see debt as a moral failing. This conversation will challenge traditional ideas of being “responsible” with debt and may even strengthen your relationship in the process.

    💬 "Debt happens to people more than people happen into debt. When folks first meet with us, they're so heavily rooted in this idea of 'I'm bad, I've caused this, and it's all my fault.'"

    Key Takeaways:

    • The language we use about debt reveals deep shame - "I'm bad with money" puts all blame on ourselves, not systems
    • Your first credit card story (probably age 18-22) holds crucial clues about your current debt patterns
    • Paying minimums on everything for 1-2 months to get control beats chaotic "throw whatever's left" approach
    • Most people are paid bi-weekly but all budgets/bills are monthly - this mismatch creates the debt cycle
    • "Done" doesn't mean debt-free - it means making empowered decisions without fear or desperation

    About Haley & Justin Brown-Woods: Haley and Justin Brown-Woods are Accredited Financial Counselors® and the voices behind Price of Avocado Toast, a platform dedicated to redefining what financial wellness looks like for everyday people. Together, they help individuals and families break the debt cycle, build sustainable money habits, and align their spending with their core values

    ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN

    03:00 | The Shame That Shows Up First Why clients worry you'll judge them as much as they worry about the cost

    06:30 | Starting With Story, Not Spreadsheets Why their first session focuses entirely on childhood and life history

    21:00 | The Free Pizza That Started It All Unpacking how we all got our first credit cards (and why we had no idea what we were doing)

    26:00 | Why "Throw Whatever's Left" Keeps You Stuck How inconsistent debt payments feed the drama instead of solving it

    32:00 | Debt Is Morally Neutral (Even the Founding Fathers Knew It) Why bankruptcy is actually the American way and wealthy people leverage debt as a tool

  • 📦 Book Club: No New Things

    📦 Book Club: No New Things
    Nov 28 2025

    What if the answer to overspending isn't willpower, but simply... buying nothing new for 30 days? Rachel chats with Angie Fitzpatrick on the Money Healing Club Podcast to discuss Ashlee Piper's book "No New Things: A Radically Simple 30-Day Guide to Saving Money, the Planet and Your Sanity." They explore why we have so much stuff we don't need, how the returns system is broken, and why borrowing your neighbor's rubber bands might be the key to building community. Plus: the surprising link between gratitude and impulse spending.

    💬 "Only 2% of purchases were returned 25 years ago. Now we send back 3.5 billion products a year worth a trillion dollars. We are buying stuff that we're not even using, then we're sending it back."

    Key Takeaways:

    • Overconsumption affects your money, mental health, AND the environment simultaneously

    • The average American has 300,000 things - no wonder we forget what we already have!

    • Cultivating gratitude practice directly reduces impulse spending (backed by eco-psychologists)

    • The SUPER acronym helps you find alternatives to buying new (Secondhand, Upcycling, Paying nothing, Renting)

    • Tracking your triggers reveals the patterns driving your purchases
