In this powerful conversation on Culture Raises Us, financial coach Simone Griffin Taylor reframes what it truly means to live a fulfilled financial life. Instead of chasing endless “more”—more money, more status, more things—Simone challenges us to define our own enough number: that personal sweet spot where joy, purpose, and security meet.
She opens up about her own journey of learning to advocate for salary increases, the freedom found in financial gratitude, and the importance of shifting money from being a marker of worth to a tool for impact. Simone reminds us that fulfillment isn’t about comparison—it’s about alignment, gratitude, and using your resources to serve yourself, your family, and your community.
This episode is a call to transform the way we view wealth: less about accumulation, more about purpose.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I think we live in a culture that constantly
tells us we need more, more money, more status, more things.
But in chasing more, many of us lose sight of
what actually makes us fulfilled. This conversation with smoan Griffin Taylor,
the financial Coach isn't about settling for less. It's about
redefining what enough means for you. And I said you
(00:23):
so that money becomes a tool for freedom, not a
measure of worth. So in the notion of fulfillment tied
more to the amount of money you have or where
the relationship you have with money.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Relationship all day long, there are people who make far
less that are deeply fulfilled in life, and there are
others that have more money than the law allows on
a small nation combined, who deeply unhappy. How much is
never the point. It's what we're doing with that money,
not just for ourselves, but for the betterment of society
(01:00):
that creates fulfillment. I just do not believe that we
can live in society and only contribute to ourselves and
be happy personally. And then maybe that just comes from
my level of fulfillment. But I just don't see how
you can just be a band of want but I
think the more we do for our for not just ourselves,
I mean ourselves too. We're not the sacrificial lamp but ourselves,
(01:23):
but all our families and our society. I think that's
what the real fulfillment comes in.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, And you know, we talked about this, this word
enough and how do you personally define enough when it
comes to money? And should everyone know their own what
I call enough number?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yes, totally should know they're own enough number. And you
have to get to that through understanding who you really
are and what you really desire to. Like my enough
is a sweet spot between taking care of my needs
and the things that bring me great joy. I reached
enough a few years ago. I was finally saving at
a love that I was satisfied with. I was able
(02:02):
to travel internationally a couple times a year. I started
donating regularly, and I implemented a bunch of other small
things that were important for me. And the hyper thing
is for me and may not you may look at
my spending patterns and be like, well, that wouldn't do
anything for me, But for me it brings me immense joy.
And that took a while of trial and error of
(02:23):
learning what really mattered to me. Money became easy and
that was super critical. So that happened because I finally
became aware of my professional value. You talked about that
before I started advocating for my salary increases. I know
for me there was a direct correlation. See, some people
(02:43):
need to know better money management. They need to know
how to take the money that they have and naked
last longer. Mine was I needed to advocate for more
for me, and that is people often think that the
issue is always I need to make more money. I
need to make more money. Well, the adage that goes,
if you can't manage one hundred dollars, how you're gonna
(03:03):
manage ten thousand. That's right, that's right, that's critical. So
I had learned how to manage one hundred dollars. But
the problem is I needed to go bigger. I needed
to stop playing small. So I had to focus on
really advocating for my salary increases based on value that
I had already jumped out there, and I had already
contributed this value. I just needed to make sure that
(03:26):
I was asking for what I had already shown, not
what I was promising to do what I had already done.
So in doing that, I created a list of about
seven ways that I was contributing more than I was
asking for. Plus I've done some research on what peers
were making, so I knew a fear number I only
had to get through when I started asking advocate for
(03:47):
my increases. I only had to get through number three
before we began negotiating the number. I just needed to
see the value and ask the question, and it was
a yes. If I had not done that would have
never reached my enough. And part of me my enough
has to be advocating for myself. So I think part
of this is also within your enough. Yes, it's also
(04:10):
it's how you're managing the money and finding your joy,
but also how can you challenge yourself to grow? And
that can be in investing. That could be in savings,
that could be in advocating for more, It could be
in donating, it can be in so many different ways,
but really understanding where your growth comes in through this
process of also getting to.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Your own Yeah. And I think within that there's got
to be a balance of looking at all, right, how
do I become grateful for what I have while still
pursuing the growth and more abundance.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yes, so important. So I can say my mother drilled
gratitude into us daily, so I had no choice about that.
She was really good with reminding us of how much
we had. I went farther as an adult and started
realizing that much of what I had has nothing to
do with me. It's the family that I was born into,
(05:04):
the city I was born and raised in that I
was born healthy. I didn't make that happen. I didn't
do anything out there to add that in. So that
alone was worth immense gratitude. And this is part of
why it became hard for me to ask for more
or esther because I have so much, naturally it's upon
me to be of service to others, to provide a
(05:25):
hand up, right, So this is actually this was part
of my challenge with asking for more.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
But what I had.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
To transform my mindset into was my desire for more
is not for me, but it is so I can
do more for others, so I can hopefully make it
a little bit easier for them to do what they
already have in their hearts to do for themselves and
their own community. That also came from my mother, But
I really had to transform why I needed to advocate
(05:55):
for more and realize that it honestly has nothing to.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Do with me.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I am a vessel. Yes, I will enjoy my life
when I get to travel, I get to explore, I
get to do all these other things which I love
to do. But that's not even the real purpose. The
real purpose is what can I do to make things
just a little bit better?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
A lot of people love.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's why we go for more.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, and a word you used that was so powerful
and that was transformed. And I think by seeing what
others have with our social comparisons, I'm sure that plays
a large role in how people view their own enough.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Absolutely, absolutely, our society wants us to compare to others,
and you know what, to some degree it's healthy. I
have a small suspicion I could be totally wrong that
all of my friends make more than me. This is
my personal belief. May be wrong, But what that's good
for is it gives me the confidence and evidence to say,
if they can do it, so can I. No, And
(06:57):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It's kind of one of those the average of five
people you hang around, that kind of thing. So that's cool.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But when we.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Begin to want our lives. When we begin to want
their lives to be hours, when we're all on our
own journey, that's when the social evidence can create harm. Right,
we need their lives are theirs, our lives are ours,
and so while we can look at them and say, oh,
I love that you've got this, we don't need to
(07:25):
embody them. And I think that that comparison is where
we have the issue.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
So we have to be able.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
To push ourselves and use societal evidence while also giving
ourselves grace and running our own race because we don't
know those same people we're comparing ourselves to, maybe wishing
that they had our life. And I have to say,
you know, my sister and I are because again we
work in nonprofit and solopreneur work and all that kind
(07:52):
of stuff. That's why my sister and I both believe
that we make less money than all our friends. But
we're also like, our lives are fabulous, Shae, I mean
we have it's not even comparing our lives to theirs. Right,
this is where I stop at the comparison. I'm just
looking at do I have a good life. I have
a phenomenal life. I mean phenomenal. Okay, we have been
(08:15):
to three different countries this year alone. We are traveling
to various cities. We're looking at buy a new house.
We've done the renovations that we want to do. Like,
if there's an opportunity that really excites my husband and I,
it's a full throaty yes, because we have the ability
to say that. So how much money we make, it's
(08:35):
really not that important. And this is why I had
to get to stopping the comparisons. But if I were
to judge myself by other people, well, I don't even
know if I would have such fulfillment because honestly, I
don't know anybody who.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Has the light that I have. And that's it, simone.
It's the choice. You made, the choice and the choice
of owning the thing in which to truly bring you
joy and sticking your feet your heels deep in that
and that being your place. And while that sounds so
(09:09):
easy and so you know, like having sense, like everybody
could not everybody does that right because we still it's
the chase. It's still the looking at what others have
and comparing it to those. But once you truly I
always say, you know, once you know your why, you
can never lose your way right and you found. You
found the things that have brought you joy, the things
(09:32):
that matter to you, and that's why you feel so
fulfilled in your journey and in your life. While it
might be perceived to your point by others as not
enough for a while, really that's it. But no, that's
what brings you joy. And it takes me to you know,
how would society shift if more people truly lived by
their definition of enough instead of this endlessly chasing more
(09:57):
or what others have.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Oh my gosh, I think, first of all, people would
feel fulfilled. I think they would feel deep levels of
happiness that right now, we use external validations. What are
that thing like? You know, it could be a bag,
it could be a car, it could be living in
a certain.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Part of town.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
We use these things that are beyond ourselves. And now
I don't have a problem with about any of the
things I mentioned. I don't have any problems with any event. Okay,
I live in a neighborhood that I absolutely love because
it's super convenient and all of that. I absolutely love it.
So this is not about any of those things. It
is using those things as the marker for validation and
(10:39):
this is what we're moving away from. So if you
decide that from a space of fulfillment, it really makes
my life better to live in the center of the city,
then fine, what do we have to let go to
get that? But we're doing that from a space of strength,
internal strength and internal commitment to understanding what serves me
(11:01):
and my family, and then when the time comes, we'll
make a different decision. And that's perfectly fun. And so
one way. A lot of people feel like it's hard
to figure out how they go from validation to fulfillment.
And so if I can give you just a piece
of advice, think of a time that you did something
for yourself that you were deeply proud of. Maybe you
(11:23):
got the external recognition, but you know in your heart
that that really was not why you did it. Fit
with that feeling you had, and ask yourself what small
ways you can apply that towards your money today. Again,
make it simple, Please do not overcomplicate this matter. You
don't have to make it that big, but make sure
it's simple and for you only for you. In fact,
(11:46):
the fewer people that see it the better. Every time
you use your money for this, allow yourself to feel
that feeling of pride in yourself. That's so important. Allow
more of that feeling to come into your life. Look
for ways for it to be so it may not
be everything, but allow yourself to the space to feel
(12:08):
that fulfillment. Grow simultaneously. As I mentioned before, you will
have to cut out some non fulfilling out on thats
because while life doesn't just expand, right, we have got
to let go of some things in order to let
let in other things. So that's gonna be super important.
Notice what things you're As you grow in your fulfillment,
you're gonna notice things that don't bring you as much fulfillment.
(12:30):
So also over time you may have to learn what
fulfillment means to you, how it feels in your body.
So if you later regret or question things that may
have been misplaced fulfillment, learning more about the self is
he I go back to things that I've said before,
Get continuously curious about yourself. You don't have to judge yourself,
(12:50):
but it's just like, please don't judge yourself, but always
not Why exactly did I just put myself in debt
for fourteen hundred dollars bag that I really don't need?
Is that decision, and if it honestly is I have
been eyeing this bag, and I have loved this bag,
and I have wanted this back. I am all want
(13:13):
an advocate for you getting the bag. I have zero
problems with that. I just would not want you to
go into debt to get the bag. I just have
no And this is I think where people think get
wrong about financial coaches. They think that, oh, it's just
all about sacrifice. Now it isn't. It's really about deep fulfillment.
But a lot of times we make choices with our
(13:36):
money that actually doesn't bring us fulfillment.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, And I think if we want to move forward
as individuals and as a culture, I think we must.
I think rethink the way we define success. It can't
just be about chasing more. It has to be about
knowing or enough and living and living in alignment with it, right,
Because I think true progress happens when we use money
(13:59):
to hance our lives, not control them. And the culture
shift we need is one where fulfillment is measured not
by how much we stack, but by how deeply we
live with what we have. And for that, I thank
you again someone for delivering some great insights on how
we can do that. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I am thrilled to be here.
So I think we live in a culture that constantly
tells us we need more, more money, more status, more things.
But in chasing more, many of us lose sight of
what actually makes us fulfilled. This conversation with smoan Griffin Taylor,

So also over time you may have to learn what
fulfillment means to you, how it feels in your body.
So if you later regret or question things that may
have been misplaced fulfillment, learning more about the self is
he I go back to things that I've said before,
Get continuously curious about yourself. You don't have to judge yourself,
(12:50):
but it's just like, please don't judge yourself, but always
not Why exactly did I just put myself in debt
for fourteen hundred dollars bag that I really don't need?
Is that decision, and if it honestly is I have
been eyeing this bag, and I have loved this bag,
and I have wanted this back. I am all want
(13:13):
an advocate for you getting the bag. I have zero
problems with that. I just would not want you to
go into debt to get the bag. I just have
no And this is I think where people think get
wrong about financial coaches. They think that, oh, it's just
all about sacrifice. Now it isn't. It's really about deep fulfillment.
But a lot of times we make choices with our
(13:36):
money that actually doesn't bring us fulfillment.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, And I think if we want to move forward
as individuals and as a culture, I think we must.
I think rethink the way we define success. It can't
just be about chasing more. It has to be about
knowing or enough and living and living in alignment with it, right,
Because I think true progress happens when we use money
(13:59):
to hance our lives, not control them. And the culture
shift we need is one where fulfillment is measured not
by how much we stack, but by how deeply we
live with what we have. And for that, I thank
you again someone for delivering some great insights on how
we can do that. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I am thrilled to be here.
