In this clip, I’m telling stories (which is my favorite teaching method) about the practical, external side of overcoming underearning.

There are mental and emotional internal shifts involved, and a good dose of creative brainstorming, but the focus here is on how we can shift our business models to open up new possibilities for breaking through money ceilings. 

I hope you enjoy this third recording on the Money Mixtape. (And believe me, if it was possible to mail you an actual cassette tape with these recordings, I would 100% do that. But…who has cassette players anymore?)

The practical side of overcoming under-earning

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).

Divorce, resilience & triumph with Nancy Levin

Maketa is one of my favorite people — and I know you’ll see why, after listening to this Money Memoir with him.

Maketa and his wife had a money “wake-up call” a few years ago. (Or, as I like to call it, a “money initiation.”)

After what they thought was a prosperous year, they got their tax bill. (Dunh, dunh, dunh.) They had no idea they owed so much — and it wiped out their entire savings account, overnight.

Sometimes, our biggest “failures” … open the most joyful doors.

Maketa and his beautiful wife harnessed this hardship. They realized they needed to learn more about money. And it had to go deeper than numbers. All the way down into gender roles, their individual life stories, their definitions of success, and on and on.

What would it take, for you to feel truly SAFE?

It’s one of the questions we must ask ourselves, when facing personal and global uncertainty.

It’s an emotional question. A somatic question. And a money question.

In my Art of Money community, we have members from all points along the earning spectrum — from self-described “under-earners” to people earning well over six figures per year.

And you know what I’ve learned?

Feeling safe has nothing to do with money. And everything. (Just not in the way you might think.)
