When we talk about activism through a financial or economic lens, most of time, people think of two things: shopping and investing. And those are important. But the single biggest financial decision we make is what we do for a living, our work.
My guests today are Kiersten and Julien Saunders, who I think are incredible role models for thinking about work, both doing work that aligns to your values, and maintaining maybe the healthiest work-life balance I’ve seen among people whose work is fundamentally online. Kiersten and Julien Saunders are the creators of the Rich and Regular blog, the creators of the Money On the Table YouTube series, hosts of the Rich & Regular podcast, money editors at Success Magazine, and now authors of the brand new book Cashing Out, which I highly.
We talk about choosing work that’s aligned to your values, making trade-offs to focus where your heart tells you to, and the upsides of working for yourself.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
