  What to Do with the Stuff You Inherit with Nick Fox

  Jul 31, 202651 minS3

  This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute mental health, financial, tax, or legal advice. Episode Summary In this episode of the Money Healing Club podcast, Rachel Duncan sits down with Nick Fox, creator of the Millennial Inheritance Project, a community documenting the very particular experience of inheriting objects instead of wealth. From 3,000 signed baseballs to a mother's beloved library, Rachel and Nick get into grief, family dynamics, identity, memory, and why letting go of stuff is so much heavier than it looks. Rachel also opens up about her own ongoing experience with the boxes still in her basement after her mother's passing. "You didn't inherit money, you inherited stuff." — Nick Fox Key Takeaways - Inheriting stuff is its own kind of grief, separate from any money that changes hands. - Value is subjective. What one person treasures, another sees as clutter, and both feelings are valid. - When you cannot feel someone else's attachment to an object, a useful question is: what utility does it have for me? - The conversation with aging parents lands better from curiosity than from combativeness. - A full basement or garage is not the same as hoarding, which is a clinical condition that deserves care, not judgment. About Nick Fox Nick is the creator and curator of the Millennial Inheritance Project, a community documenting what it really means to inherit someone's lifetime of belongings. He is a radio person, a husband, and, in his own words, a very normal person trying to make sense of this alongside the rest of us. ⏰ Episode breakdown 06:30 | Where the millennial inheritance community came from. How one sarcastic video about a box of "Oneida crap" turned into a movement. 23:00 | Why value is completely subjective. From the Beanie Baby crash to a mother's beloved books. 26:15 | The one question to ask about any inherited object. Moving from someone else's sentiment to your own sense of utility. 37:00 | Two-pronged advice. One message for the elders holding the collection, one for the kids who will manage it.

  Money and the Enneagram with Khara Croswaite Brindle

  Jul 17, 202653 minS3

  This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute mental health, financial, tax, or legal advice. EPISODE SUMMARY The Enneagram is having a moment, but most of the conversation stops at quizzes and cute type labels. On this episode of The Money Healing Club podcast, Rachel talks with Khara Croswaite Brindle, certified financial therapist and co-author of the Amazon number one bestseller Your Enneagram and Money, about why the Enneagram is less a personality test and more a framework for how you relate to people, yourself, and to money. Together they walk all nine types and the money edge that comes with each, from noble poverty in the helpers to the five's fear of being depleted to the nine who cannot say what they are saving for. Rachel and Khara both name their own types on air. "A lot of people are worried about being put in a box, but the language we hear often is, hey, it's telling you what box you're already in." — Khara Key takeaways The Enneagram is a relational framework, not a box. It names the logic behind why you do what you do, including the parts you like least. Enneagram assessments run about 66% accurate. When your real type lands, it tends to feel like a gut punch, not a shrug. Every type has a money edge. Ones get rigid, twos slide into noble poverty and financial enabling, threes chase dollars, fours swing between craving and rejecting money, fives hoard against depletion, sixes freeze in worst case forecasting, sevens skip the boring stuff, eights refuse to hand over control, and nines lose track of what they even want. Being "good with money" on paper is not the same as being well. Fives and sixes often look successful and still live in scarcity. There is no type you are supposed to be. The work is curiosity and balance, not a personality overhaul. About Khara Croswaite Brindle Khara is a certified financial therapist and licensed professional counselor in Colorado, director of training at the Financial Therapy Clinical Institute, and co-author of Your Enneagram and Money with Hannah DeGroot. She is also Rachel's former supervisor. ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN 02:53 | Why the Enneagram, and Why It Is Not Just a Personality Test: A relational framework for how you connect with people, with yourself, and with money. 08:12 | How Do You Actually Find Your Type?: Why free quizzes run about 66% accurate, what a typing interview is, and what a counter type means. 11:17 | Walking the Nine Types and Their Money Edges: Ones through nines, the core belief driving each, and the money habits that follow. 14:17 | Noble Poverty, Financial Enabling, and Rachel Outs Herself: The helper's growth edge, and why putting your own mask on first keeps proving true. 47:25 | Inside a Typing Interview: What Khara asks, what she watches for, and why people leave feeling seen.

  🌱 When Money Stops Feeling Like Conflict: A Member's Money Healing Story

  Jul 3, 202636 minS3

  Content note: this episode includes a few brief mentions of disordered eating and eating disorder treatment, in the context of how this week's guest healed her relationship with food. Please take care with where you are as you listen. EPISODE SUMMARY This week on the Money Healing Club podcast, Rachel sits down with a current club member who generously shared her money healing journey. Money was feast or famine growing up, which wired in two scripts at odds with each other, a careful saver and an impulse spender, and she found herself doing all the "right things" while still spending more than she earned. Her way in was intuitive eating. After healing her relationship with food, she went looking for the same softer, self-compassionate approach for her money, and that search led her to Rachel. They get into ditching the budget, why every no needs a yes, and the real shifts she has noticed since joining the club. 💬 "Spending money on something means saying yes to something else, and saying yes to something might mean saying no to something else." 📝 Key takeaways Childhood money conflict can wire in two scripts at odds with each other, a careful saver and an impulse spender, that keep pulling against each other in adulthood. You don't need a budget to heal your money. You need an honest, compassionate picture of what your life actually costs. Every no needs a yes. Reframing a spending choice as a yes to something else turns it from deprivation into an empowered decision. Safety is the value sitting underneath almost every money decision, and feeling safe in the present is what finally frees you to think long term. Self-compassion plus common humanity, not accountability, is the real foundation of lasting change. The shifts are tangible: less impulse spending on clothes and eating out, a growing safety cushion, and a lot more kindness on the days you slip. ⏰ EPISODE BREAKDOWN 08:00 | Intuitive Eating, but for Money How healing her relationship with food sent her looking for the same soft, self-compassionate approach to spending. 11:00 | Ditch the Budget, Ask a Better Question Why "make a budget and stick to it" kept failing, and how "what does my life cost?" changed everything. 15:00 | Every No Needs a Yes Turning restrictive-feeling money choices into empowered yeses instead of deprivation. 28:00 | Self-Compassion Over Accountability Her advice for anyone who avoids their money: start with self-compassion and common humanity, not shame. 🔗 Resources mentioned Leah Kern, intuitive eating dietitian and host of Shoulders Down Amelia Hruby and the Off The Grid podcast Haley and Justin Brown Woods of Price of Avocado Toast , on the separate discretionary spending card idea 🎙️ Have a money story or question?
