From a young age, many of us were exposed to messages linking financial success with personal value. Advertisements, media, and even family conversations equate wealth with achievement and social status.
Not surprisingly, this constant reinforcement creates strong associations between money and self-worth.
Although our culture tends to regard money (and fancy job titles, for that matter) as symbols of success, my guest todays argues that money is nothing more than a tool. And if money is just a tool, it certainly doesn't have the power to say much about who we are as people: How worthy we are. How good we are. How important we are.
On today's show: A conversation with podcaster Shari Rash about untangling your self-worth from your net worth, for good.
Here's a preview:
[7:30] Money is just a tool to help you feel the way you want to feel
[11:00] Money conservations might be awkward, but they're essential in bringing to light your unconscious beliefs about finances
[15:00] Exactly how our culture ties money to identity—and why that’s so damaging
[21:00] Rewiring the way you see yourself in relation to money
