In this emotionally charged episode of Lisa Drennon sits down with trauma therapist Fanny Tristan to unpack how trauma and early conditioning shape our relationship with money. They explore how emotional wounds influence financial decisions, and why understanding your personal money story is key to creating lasting wealth. From overcoming toxic productivity to releasing perfectionism and scarcity, Fanny shares her path to financial independence—and how women can stop outsourcing their power to partners, systems, or fear.

Lisa and Fanny also dive into practical financial advice for creating safety and abundance—like building a “rainy day fund” for joy, not just emergencies. If you’ve ever avoided looking at your bank account or felt paralyzed by financial decisions, this episode will hit home.

💸 It’s time to rewrite your money story and activate your wealth from the inside out.🎧
