Money. Hard work. Privilege. Inheritance. Entitlement. Motivation. Success. All of these words can bring up a host of thoughts and feelings. Some of them tend to have positive connotations, yet many of them are super-charged with negativity. Shows such as "Succession" have brought fresh attention to the realm of the uber wealthy and the dramatic flavor of issues such as family feuds, excess, sibling rivalry, manipulation, and mental health issues including addiction. But, as many of Shakespeare's works describe, family dynamics can get particularly mucky when wealth and privilege are part of the picture.
Join Dr. Carla and expert Jessica McGawley as we unravel some of the threads of the important and challenging issues that often affect us regardless of our socioeconomic status. Topics discussed include family relationships, inheritance, money, wealth, empowerment, Gen Z, Millennials, entitlement, privilege, conflict, suicide, savings, spending, giving, donating, gratitude, appreciation, kindness, boundaries, strength, extinction burst, neurolinguistics, shame, children, intergenerational patterns, family dynamics, and love.
Please note that this episode contains sensitive material including suicide; listener discretion is advised.
