Episode Summary

Most people try to fix money with tactics—budgets, scripts, spreadsheets. Morgana Rae argues the real block isn’t financial; it’s emotional. In this conversation, Morgana shares how a 2003 rock-bottom moment led her to personify money as a “monster”—then destroy it and build a new, loving relationship with “Money Honey.” That shift turned a lifetime of doing “all the right things” with no results into a repeatable framework she calls Financial Alchemy. We walk through her six steps: uncovering root wounds (unlovable, unsafe, unworthy), giving them form, annihilating the monster, meeting a love-based Money Honey, dialoguing for guidance, and taking a concrete, measurable action—today. Along the way: why change happens at the speed of safety, how the subconscious answers after you journal (often in the shower or car), and client stories that range from first five-figure days to seven-figure turnarounds.

Morgana also tells the “29 weddings in 29 countries (to the same husband)” story, the cathedral moment in Puerto Vallarta, and why she believes victim experiences are sacred fuel for evolution—not shame. If spreadsheets never changed your life, this reframe just might.

Show Notes & Chapters
  • [00:00] “The monster isn’t about money”—what money represents (love, value, safety, power).

  • [03:00] 29 weddings / 29 countries (to the same partner) + the Puerto Vallarta cathedral story.

  • [11:00] Grief is love; money reflects our experience of being loved/safe/valued.

  • [12:30] Rock bottom: doing all the things, still broke; the sales-objection class fail.

  • [16:00] The turning point: “If money were a person, who would it be?” → the biker “Money Monster.”

  • [20:00] Why the monster must hold everything you don’t want (unlovable/unsafe/unworthy).

  • [25:00] Slaying the monster → meeting “Money Honey” (love-based, values-aligned).

  • [30:00] First dialogue: “What do you need from me to allow you to be with me?” (love ≠ worship).

  • [33:00] Immediate results: charging cleanly, clients enroll at double prior rates.

  • [36:00] Why breakthroughs can be fast: pressure behind the wall; safety unlocks flow.

  • [40:00] Universal patterns: inheritance chaos, guilt/shame, “too much/too little” money.

  • [41:00] Six Steps overview: root cause → monster → annihilate → Money Honey → dialogue → action.

  • [54:00] Step 6 in practice: the action is often not “businessy” (Paris with the kid; ice-skating).

  • [57:00] When stuck, ask: “What do I need to learn here to let go of this struggle?”

  • [66:00] Closing: your “victim” experiences are sacred—use them to build a monster worth destroying.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
