Ep 7: The Practice of Enough

The idea of “enough” plays a bigger role in our financial lives than we often realize. In this episode, we explore why the feeling of satisfaction with money can be so difficult to hold onto even when, on paper, we’re doing well. From spending habits to long-term saving, that belief that we don’t have not quite enoughcan shape decisions in ways that aren’t always obvious. In this conversation, Jim invites you to reflect on how that mindset might be showing up in your own life, and what it could look like to define “enough” in a way that feels more grounded and personal.

Ep 6: How to Make Financial Decisions When the World Feels Unstable

Whether it’s global conflict, economic shifts, artificial intelligence, or political change, the world often feels uncertain. Uncertainty in the digital age hits differently. We’ve become hyper aware of global challenges, which, while not bad in and of itself, has fueled our anxiety. In this episode, Jim explores how to make sound financial decisions even when the future feels unpredictable. Through real client conversations about job security and the impact of artificial intelligence, he shows how shifting from abstract fears to concrete planning can restore clarity and confidence. You’ll hear practical questions that can help you prepare for uncertainty, including how to understand your spending, strengthen your savings, and create flexibility for whatever the future brings.

Ep 5: The Hidden Money Stories Driving Your Decisions

We all have a money history, whether we realize it or not. In this episode of The Thinking Bigger Than Money Podcast, we explore how the messages we absorbed about money growing up continue to shape our financial decisions, emotions, and habits today. From family conversations about spending and saving to early experiences with money, these stories often run quietly in the background of our lives. Through reflection questions and personal examples, Jim invites you to get curious about where your beliefs about money come from and whether they’re still helpful. Because understanding your money history isn’t about judgment; it’s about awareness, and creating space to make more values-aligned financial decisions moving forward.

Ep 4: A New Way to Start the Year with Money

The start of a new year often brings a familiar wave of financial resolutions. We vow to save more, spend less, and get back on track. While these goals can be useful, they can also create unnecessary pressure, especially when life doesn’t unfold as we planned. In this episode, we explore a different way to approach money in the new year by shifting from outcome-driven financial goals to intention-based thinking. Rather than asking what you want to achieve, we focus on how you want to relate to money as the year continues. I also share a personal annual practice of choosing a guiding word or phrase, and how this simple reflection has helped me navigate both growth and financially demanding seasons with more clarity and ease. If you’re looking for a calmer, more sustainable way to think about money, this episode offers a thoughtful place to begin.

Ep 3: Being Present with Your Spending

This episode explores how tracking spending can become a practice of awareness and intention, not just budgeting. Jim shares his personal experience of writing down every purchase for a month — and what it revealed about emotional patterns, money stories, and the role of mindfulness in financial decision-making. Listeners will leave with a simple, actionable challenge: to track their spending for awareness — not control — and to uncover what their money habits say about their needs, fears, and values.

Ep 2: Money Should Support Your Values, Not Control Your Choices

Do you control your money? Or does your money control you? Many of us let fear and scarcity drive our financial decisions without even realizing it. Jim shares stories from clients and his own life that reveal how easy it is to let money dictate our choices—and how we can instead use financial planning to create space, confidence, and alignment with what really matters. Topics include: 💡How scarcity disguises itself as “responsibility” 💡Why chasing higher pay can lead to regret 💡The psychology behind spending and saving decisions 💡How financial planning can help you slow down and make values-based choices Reflect with us: What would change if your financial decisions started with your values, not your fears?

Ep 1: Introducing the Thinking Bigger than Money Podcast

Welcome to the very first episode of The Thinking Bigger Than Money Podcast with your host, Jim Marrocco. This show is about more than budgets, spreadsheets, or technical strategies. It’s about money as part of the human story how it connects to our fears, our values, our dreams, and the lives we want to live. In this opening episode, I share my personal journey: how I went from investment management to building a practice rooted in helping people align money with meaning. Along the way, I’ll talk about scarcity and abundance, what it means to live with financial flow, and why one client’s surprising perspective changed the way I think about money forever. If you’ve ever wondered how to move toward a more intentional relationship with money, this podcast is for you!
