Can you rewrite your money story – or are you stuck with the one you inherited? We crack open the money stories we inherited, and the ones we’re trying to rewrite.

Aiwan shares how growing up in a fundamentalist church taught her that true faith meant living modestly, shunning wealth, and being "in the world, but not of it" - until later encounters with the prosperity gospel preached that material success was a sign of divine favour. Meanwhile, Tamanda reflects on growing up firmly wedged between stark racialised wealth gaps within her family of origin - and how moving through different mindsets around privilege, poverty, and survival shaped her views on money, value, and freedom.

Together, we unpack the money mindsets we inherited, the financial habits we had to unlearn, and the scripts we’re now rewriting as a Black queer couple, building businesses, navigating generational change, and planning for a future still full of unknowns.

This episode is about the psychology of money, how race, class, and religion shape our attitudes to wealth, and why financial healing matters - for ourselves, and for our communities.
