🗳️ Elections & Podcast Appearances


Hello Reader,

I intended to send this email on Friday. 🗓️

That was the day the latest episode of Therapy for Your Money was released – and I'm the featured guest. And I was (slash am) excited about that.

But then, you know, the election happened. 🗳️

And being excited about a podcast episode felt a bit... oh, out of place, maybe tone deaf... or at least inauthentic.

Because I was NOT excited about the outcome of the election.

I had a lot of feelings about it – few (maybe none?) of them positive.

But in the last few days I've found myself shifting from a judgmental stance (How could this happen?! 😡) to a more curious stance (How could – or why – did this happen? 🤔)

Maybe I'll share more about that in coming weeks. TBD.

But despite the election – or perhaps, in part, because of it – navigating finances remains an essential activity that I want to help you with.

And so, without further ado... 🥁

Hello Reader, I like to think I pay pretty close attention to things like inflation. But it floored me recently when I found out inflation over the last six years has been 28%. I’ll repeat that for everyone in the back. 28%. Yup, that’s correct. Not a typo. You can check it out for yourself here. That’s kind of nuts. We tend to think of inflation as background noise — a little high one year, a little low the next, mostly irrelevant to the actual decisions we’re making. But 28% over six years...

Hello Reader, Two things I genuinely enjoy in my free time (which may say something about me): reading Buddhist books… and listening to investing podcasts. Recently, those two worlds collided in a way that really stuck with me. I’ve been re-reading The Wisdom of No Escape by Pema Chödrön. One of the core ideas she explores is that we often try to escape discomfort — and that doing so isn’t all that wise. It isn’t that the things we use to distract ourselves are inherently bad. It’s that they...

Hi Reader, If you’re a practice owner (or self-employed in any way), I’m guessing this sounds familiar: “I don’t really have time for a conference.” “The money feels hard to justify.” “I’m not sure the ROI is actually there.” I have that same reaction all the time. Getting on a plane. ✈️ Staying in a hotel. 🏨 Stepping away from work that already feels endless. 😥 It almost never feels like the right time. And yet — some of the most meaningful insights I’ve had about my business never would...
