48. Let’s Deconstruct Your Money Messages

That’s why Kimberly Griego-Kiel likes to consider money not only for its value, but also for the messages and meaning it can hold.

In this episode, Kimberly takes a deep dive into what money messages mean, why they are so meaningful, and how we can shift those money messages to create a new economic model.

Kim discusses:

  • Her experience with money messages throughout her life
  • A view of money messages from a psychology point of view
  • Reasons why couples, parents, and children should have money-related conversations
