  • 14. When is Enough… Enough? - Elizabeth Husserl

    52:55||Season 2, Ep. 14
    Talking about money is one of the loneliest conversations out there. But what if it didn’t have to be? This week on the podcast, I sat down with the brilliant Elizabeth Husserl, author of The Power of Enough, to unpack our emotional relationships with money. We dove into scarcity, security, success, and how money shapes our connections—with our partners, our families, and even ourselves. Money isn’t just numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s history, identity, and sometimes a damn white elephant in the room. But when we actually turn towards it, get curious, and start asking the real questions, we can change the game.
