Elizabeth Husserl — The Power of Enough: Redefining What It Means to Be Wealthy with Elizabeth Husserl

Elizabeth Husserl is a registered investment advisor representative, financial advisor, and cofounder of Peak360 Wealth Management, a boutique wealth planning firm. She holds a BS in economics from Tulane University and an MA in East-West psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, where she has also taught as an adjunct professor. Her experience spans nonprofit work throughout the Americas, and she is a highly sought-after speaker, having led workshops at major tech companies, including Airbnb, Unity, and Google. In this episode of Mindful Money, I talk with Elizabeth about her book, The Power of Enough, and the deeper meaning of wealth. We unpack why financial stability is only one slice of a fulfilling life, how to break money’s emotional grip, and why self-worth should never be tied to net worth. Elizabeth shares practical tools like the “wealth mandala” and the “conversation with money” to help people design lives rooted in meaning and agency. If you’ve ever felt like money controls too much of your mind and heart, this conversation will help you find your way back.
