Join The Soul of Money Voice-Note Book Club
From September 16–October 23, we’re moving from scarcity to Sufficiency and changing our relationship with Money through Nature’s wisdom.
The entire experience is asynchronous in Voxer. There are no live calls, you only need 15–60 minutes a week to participate, and you don’t even have to read the book.
Enrollment closes Friday, September 18.

What if your Inner Accountant doesn’t need to be pushed away, silenced, or even healed? What if she just needs a promotion?
In the last episode, I introduced you to my client Kiki and shared some of the story behind a coaching conversation we had about receiving money for the spiritual work she’s already been doing for years.
In this episode, with Kiki’s permission, I’m sharing that full coaching call.
We talk about the part of us I’ve come to affectionately call the Inner Accountant: the part who keeps track of what’s coming in, what’s going out, what could go wrong, how much we need, and whether there’ll be Enough.
And we love her—she makes some really good points.
We don’t want to shame her, silence her, or exile her. Her job has been to help us survive.
But maybe it’s time to upgrade her job description from merely surviving to Flourishing.
In this coaching conversation, we explore:
• Why it can feel easier to charge for work that drains us than for the work that brings us alive
• The belief that spiritual, healing, creative, nurturing, or purposeful work shouldn’t cost money
• How receiving money can expand our capacity to serve
• The poverty, martyrdom, and self-sacrifice stories many of us inherited through religion
• Why money can feel “icky” or gross when it enters the same room as our spiritual gifts
• The difference between surviving, Sufficiency, and Flourishing
• Why there’s no shame in having a contingency plan
• What changes when we let practicality support our spirituality instead of treating them as opposites
• The possibility that we don’t need to heal every Money Story before we start living differently
The living-it-out is part of the healing.
Sometimes we gotta look at the numbers. Make the plan. Let someone pay us. Allow ourselves to receive before every part of us feels completely ready.
And that lived experience is what changes our relationship with money.
As you listen, I invite you to get curious:
- What job have you given your Inner Accountant?
- Is she only allowed to help you avoid disaster—or can she help you imagine what it might take for your Life to Flourish?
- Where might you be waiting to feel completely healed before you let yourself do something differently?
- And what would it look like to start right now?
