How Grief Shows Up in Our Relationship With Money

In today's episode, I’m talking about the quiet, often unspoken ways grief shows up in our relationship with money. Not just the grief of losing someone we love, but also the grief tied to paths not taken, timelines that shifted, dreams that didn’t unfold the way we expected, and the lives we thought we’d be living by now.

I share how this kind of grief can sneak into everyday money decisions, show up as tension or self-criticism, and make money feel heavier than the numbers alone can explain. I also talk through gentle ways to notice and name these feelings—without judgment or pressure to “fix” them—so money can feel a little lighter and more honest.

If you’ve ever felt a quiet ache around money and couldn’t quite put your finger on it, this episode is for you.
