What if your money struggles aren't about numbers, but about the deeper stories you've carried from childhood?
In this episode of Real Money, Real Life™, Linda Grizely talks with Kate Juozaitis — licensed therapist turned transformational coach — about the emotional roots of money. Together they explore how trauma, identity, and personality patterns shape our financial lives and what it takes to break free.
We talk about:
- Why "success without purpose still feels empty"
- How money archetypes reveal hidden financial patterns
- The impact of trauma on women's money stories
- What it takes to balance money personalities and live with alignment

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
