Art of Money Podcast

bari

In this episode of the Art of Money podcast, we dive into stories about an area of money not often heard of publicly: what happens when we hit really, really challenging financial periods of our life? For most of us, those challenging times are sources of money shame, and in this episode, we explore money shame and how five of my dear colleagues moved through their own rough financial patches, and the shame that came from them.

Money shame and overcoming financial challenges

In this episode of the Art of Money podcast, we talk to three smartypants experts about what it really takes to earn more money -- or, as some of them call it, “overcome underearning.” So many people want to earn more money, and while many people will tell you how to do that, it’s rarely a balanced viewpoint. In this episode, we explore the roots of underearning and what three of my sharpest financial colleagues recommend to earn more money, from inner healing to practical tactics.

How to overcome underearning (and make more money)

In this episode of the Art of Money podcast, Bari and Forest tell the stories of how The Art of Money methodology was born: the crazy-serendipitous way Bari met her first money mentor, how she and Forest created the 3-phase approach to deep money work, the financial struggles they faced at the beginning of their relationship (and businesses), and all the personal and practical money tools they created along the way.

How it all began: in a tiny log cabin long, long ago …

In this tender + practical episode of the Art of Money podcast, Bari talks with estate planner Martha Hartney about how to protect your money, belongings, and children when you die. Yeah, I know...it seems a bit heavy. Money and death are intense, taboo subjects, but when we look directly at them, they’re also full of love, connection, and compassion. Martha weaves an emotional (and hypothetical) story about Bari’s own son to illustrate the surprising truth about guardianship -- and empower you with the motivation and know-how you need to put your estate in order, and protect the ones you love should you leave before you expect to.

Planning for the end: death and money

In this final episode of the Art of Money podcast’s first mini-season, Bari shares some of the core tools and practices from her methodology, which were designed to help you solve your biggest money problems. 

Some are mindfulness and body-based, some are intimate and chocolatey, and some are just plain smart...but they’re all gentle and ready for you to use, lickety-split. 

Bari shares the story of one of her biggest failures in business, and how she turned it into one of her biggest wins. You’ll also hear real-life stories from her students about how they use these tools (including what happened when one woman’s “inner teenager” threw a tantrum in the Apple Store...and the genius way she handled it).

How to overcome Money Shame

Get ready to bust out your superhero cape. This mini-class might have you flying.

I recently asked my community of Art of Money members what their all-time favorite pieces of content I’d ever created were. The superclip you’re about to hear was one hands-down winner.

In this superclip, I talk to three powerhouse money guides about what it really takes to earn more money — or, as two of them put it, “overcome under-earning.” And it’s all woven together with helpful commentary and insights from my dear hubby, Forest.

For many, earning more money is a tough, multi-layered nut to crack.
As you’ll hear in this piece, that’s because it takes more than practical strategies. We also have to turn within and do some emotional and identity work, too.

For years now, I’ve watched people throw themselves into the same 3 mainstream approaches to money. And they almost never stick.

I first started noticing it when I was a graduate student at Naropa University. I was studying somatic psychotherapy and authentic movement and was surrounded by dancers and tons of creative, spiritual types. And there was SO much suffering around money. Mostly because people simply never looked money in the eye.

I saw this suffering around money even more clearly a few years later, when I hung my shingle as a bookkeeper out in California. My clients were therapists, coaches, and artists — and they had so much suffering and shame, around money.

I was just beginning my own journey with money at the time, and certainly shared much of their suffering. But I was committed to figuring out why smart, compassionate people like us kept getting stuck with money … and how I could help us all experience more peace and empowerment in this crucial area of life.

Money is a practical, emotional, and ever-changing endeavor. That’s why we need an integrated, multi-faceted framework if we want to mature our relationship with it.

Sit back and relax as I tell you the tale of how I created the 3-phase Art of Money methodology … and how this multi-pronged view of money can help get you unstuck … and create real, lasting transformation.

You’ll hear:

Why the “just do it!” approach to money never sticks for long (it’s not a lack of willpower)
The ingredient missing from Law of Attraction and other spiritual and emotional money work (they can be helpful as long as you add this)
The strange-but-true “origin story” of my Art of Money methodology (including a prayer, an apple orchard, and flip charts galore)
An overview of my 3 phase methodology and how it solves the problem of fractured money approaches.

Why most mainstream money methods just don’t work. (And my 3-phase remedy)

Listen to this teaching about emotions + money and learn:
- How to decode your fight-flight-freeze fear responses around money
- 7 things deep money work actually can help you do, with your emotions (yes, there’s hope!)
- The vulnerability my husband had about his own money emotions (so good)
- My favorite, trusty tool to help you respond to money emotions when they inevitably arise.

Will those money emotions ever go away?

You can be savvy about money AND make it come alive with your deepest values, creativity, and playfulness.

When you infuse money with your deepest values, big change starts to happen. Resistance melts away and you start feeling more coherence and peace around money.
