205: Resolving Childhood Money Resentments with Author Kimberly Ann Johnson

When we grow up around wealthy people who aren’t happy, it can be extremely difficult for us to care about money at all until it’s too late. Once that happens, it can put us at a significant disadvantage as we struggle to find fulfillment in our lives later on. Today’s guest, Kimberly Ann Johnson, learned this the hard way. She’s a bodyworker, somatic experiencing practitioner, yoga teacher, postpartum advocate, and a single mom. She does hands-on work in integrative women’s health and trauma recovery and has written about her experiences in her books, Call of the Wild: How We Heal Trauma, Awaken Our Own Power, and Use It For Good and The Fourth Trimester. On top of all of that, she’s also the host of the Sex Birth Trauma podcast. Rejecting money and capitalism altogether may feel like a radical stance early in life, but it rarely gives us the power to live happily on our own terms. And today, we’ll be talking about how to live a financial life that’s courageous, effective, and in alignment with your views and goals. In this conversation, we talk about how rare it is for adults to change their minds about anything, let alone money, and how Kimberly came to some crucial conclusions on her own. You’ll also hear about my Ignite Investing® program, which you can learn more about at igniteinvesting.com.

How trying to resist forces, including capitalism, keeps women stuck and disempowered–and how to embrace spending money without obsessing over material things. The incredible things that happen when generational financial dependency ends. How to rethink your relationship with money, do good, and help people along the way.
