    The Energy of Money with Rei Chou

    There's $275 billion sitting in three IPOs this year alone — more than the entire combined history of IPO money before it. So why does it still feel like there isn't enough to go around? In this episode of Too Much, Denise sits down with energy healer and Feast founder Rei Chou to break down the energy of money — the idea that your bank account is a direct mirror of your subconscious relationship with love, not a math problem to solve. They get into why techno-billionaires can have unlimited wealth and still seem to have nothing — no stable relationships, no peace, no real fulfillment — and what Rei calls "healthy entitlement," the invisible belief system that determines who actually gets to receive abundance. You'll learn how to spot your own money blocks, why scarcity mindset persists even in a world of unprecedented wealth, what a post-abundance economy could actually mean for identity and purpose, and a simple exercise for shifting your subconscious relationship with money starting today. If you're ready to stop managing your money and start healing your relationship with it, hit subscribe — new episodes of Too Much drop weekly, and this is a conversation you'll want to revisit.

    ​​What If the Economy Loved Us Back? Transforming Business with Jess Rimington

    What if we could reimagine our economy to prioritize wellbeing over endless growth? In this episode, Jess Rimington, author of "Beloved Economies: Transforming How We Work," joins us to explore how businesses can break free from extractive capitalism and create workplaces that actually support human flourishing. After both experiencing severe burnout from traditional workplace structures, Jess and her co-author spent eight years following 60 enterprises that were sharing power in unique ways. What they discovered challenges everything we've been taught about business success. In this conversation, we explore: The 7 practices of beloved economies, including shared decision-making, prioritizing relationships, and reckoning with history Why capitalism requires constant extraction and how that affects our collective wellbeing Alternative funding models like reparative capital and patient capital How venture capital keeps founders trapped in scarcity mindset Why only 2% of VC funding goes to women and 1% to people of color The connection between economic democracy and political democracy Practical ways to organize collectively during uncertain times How to build businesses that align with your values without burning out Jess offers a refreshing perspective: we don't need to figure out the perfect economic system before we start making changes. The beloved economy we want is already being created by businesses and entrepreneurs who are choosing to operate differently right now. Whether you're a startup founder questioning the traditional VC path, an employee wondering if work has to feel extractive, or simply someone seeking hope for a more humane economic future, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable pathways forward. Key Takeaways: Business can exist outside of capitalism - we just aren't taught that our MBA programs teach ideology, not universal truth Values aren't aspirational statements; they're reflected in what you actually prioritize Sharing power isn't zero-sum - it actually replicates and creates more for everyone The companies pioneering new economic models already exist; we just need to amplify them Resources Mentioned: Ernst Gotsch, Farmer in South America "Beloved Economies" by Jess Rimington and Joanna Levitt Gutin "Believe in You Money" by Jess Norwood (Runway/reparative capital) Acumen Fund and patient capital models Working Families Party, Indivisible, Movement Voter Project Join us for this vital conversation about building an economy that can actually love us back. Jess Rimington is a next-economy strategist, practitioner, and scholar focused on supporting businesses and organizations to step out of extractive economic practices. She is co-author of Beloved Economies: Transforming How We Work –winner of the Porchlight’s Business Book Award in Management & Workplace Culture. She was co-director of the Beloved Economies research initiative from 2015-2022.  You can follow her at @jessrimington or at belovedeconomies.com You can follow this podcast @toomuchwithdlh and Denise @deniselovehewett Email hello@deniselovehewett.com for any suggestions or advice.

    The Slow Death of Integrity in a Culture of Shortcuts

    Somewhere in the last few years, skipping the work became a growth strategy — and almost nobody is willing to say it out loud. In this episode, Denise Love Hewett breaks her own silence on why she's slowed down after a year of nonstop production, what a guest quietly confessed to her about the podcast circuit, and why she thinks we're living through a full-blown moral crisis of shortcuts. This one goes deep into hustle culture, the grifting culture running through Silicon Valley and the creator economy, and what authenticity in the age of AI actually requires of the people making things. Denise unpacks a jaw-dropping stat from a guest who did 60+ podcast interviews to promote her book — and found out almost none of the hosts had read it — and connects it to a much bigger question about personal branding, false urgency marketing, and why we keep rewarding mediocrity dressed up as ambition. She also reflects on Dolly Parton's legacy of quiet, decades-long integrity as the counter-example to everything she's frustrated by, and shares where she's at in writing her own memoir — slower, messier, and more honest than she expected. You'll walk away with a clearer read on why slow living and craft are quietly becoming the real competitive advantage, why chasing output at all costs is starting to backfire, and how to trust your own timing instead of everyone else's pace. If this resonated, hit subscribe — new episodes of Too Much with Denise Love Hewett drop every week, and this is exactly the kind of conversation you don't want to miss.

    Sacred Rage Isn’t Destructive, It’s Informational with Joy Donnell (BEST OF)

    What if rage isn’t something to suppress but something sacred trying to guide you home? In this reairing of a powerful episode, Denise sits down with writer, poet, and cultural thinker Joy Donnell to explore sacred rage, devotion over discipline, and how discomfort can become the blueprint for a more honest, liberated life. This conversation explores how anger can be informational rather than destructive, how grief and rage signal what we are devoted to, and why many of us feel an unshakable knowing that “we deserve better than this.” Together, Denise and Joy unpack how transformation happens when we stop numbing discomfort and start listening to it. In this episode, we explore: Why sacred rage is a signal for change, not something to repress How devotion is more sustainable than discipline The difference between healing and bypassing discomfort How creative work becomes a vessel for transmuting rage into vision Why remembering who you are is a political, personal, and spiritual act How to stop shaping your life around survival and start shaping it around meaning This episode is for anyone who feels unsettled by the status quo, exhausted by self-abandonment, or quietly aware that a truer life is calling. Joy Donnell is a wordsmith of well-being. Her short fiction has appeared in Grist and Short Edition, and her poetry has been honored by the Science Fiction Poetry Association.

    I Coined a Term for the Millennial Midlife Crisis, Meet Millennial Malaise

    Millennials are having a midlife crisis  but it doesn't look like your parents' version. No sports car. Just quiet exhaustion and a nagging feeling that the plan didn't work. Denise coins a new term for it this week: Millennial Malaise: the collective exhaustion of a generation that followed every rule, hit every milestone, and still ended up financially precarious and quietly grieving a future that was promised but never delivered. This episode traces the phenomenon back to its roots: millennials as the last analog-to-digital hybrid generation, the Flynn Effect and why millennial IQ may have peaked, why friction (not ease) is what makes learning and memory stick, and why 49% of millennials now hold lower socioeconomic status jobs than their parents despite doing everything the American Dream told them to do. Denise breaks down the cognitive science of why reading rewires the brain differently than scrolling, why Gen Z's relationship to hope is fundamentally different from millennials', and most importantly what comes after the grief: how to build a life defined by your actual values instead of inherited expectations.

    Why People Cheat: The Psychology of Infidelity, Motivated Reasoning & Attachment Styles with Dr. Glenn Hutchinson

    Why do good people cheat — and why do some never see it coming? Denise sits down with Dr. Glenn Hutchinson, psychologist and author of Unfaithful Minds: The Science and Psychology of Infidelity, to unpack what's really happening in the brain before, during, and after an affair. They go deep on motivated reasoning (the unconscious mechanism that lets people lie to themselves), "enduring obliviousness," and why some people can be matter-of-fact about infidelity while others are blindsided by their own behavior. They also cover: Why values don't predict behavior as much as we think they do How childhood attachment styles show up in adult relationships — and why "chemistry" can be a red flag The real link between self-worth and infidelity (and why it's not what you'd expect) Why growing up with an unfaithful parent doubles the odds of infidelity How executive function and environment — not willpower — determine who avoids temptation The three competing brain systems behind sex drive, romantic love, and long-term attachment What actually signals someone has changed after cheating Whether you're trying to understand your own patterns, a partner's, or you're just fascinated by why humans do what we swear we'd never do — this conversation reframes infidelity as less about morality and more about the unconscious systems running the show.
