S1 E4:. Taboos, Power and Reclaiming Money with Morín Glimmer

“The systems we’re in weren’t built for us. They were designed to keep us small, scared, and separate.” That’s how my guest this week, Morín Glimmer — brand strategist, creative director, and founder of Rosy Futures — framed our conversation on The Money Story Project. In this episode, Morín shares her money story with honesty and depth: Growing up with mixed signals about money — where a full fridge and family holidays masked the underlying stress. Absorbing the belief that “money isn’t for women” — and what it took to unpick that message. How debt in her twenties became less a “failure” and more of a rite of passage. The shift from “just a freelancer” to fully owning her role as a business owner — and the agency that comes with that. Why she now sees money as love: “a flow of energy that sustains you and lifts you up.” We also explore how money connects with another cultural taboo: menstrual cycles. For Morín, both are about rhythm, power, and learning to work with yourself instead of against. It’s a conversation about money, yes. But also about systems, identity, and reclaiming power in places we’re told to stay small.
