    What Wealth Was Supposed To Mean (with David Gelles)

    Billionaires all seem to have one thing in common.It’s not what you think. In this episode of Music Is Therapy, Hesta Prynn sits down with New York Times journalist and author David Gelles — who has spent years inside boardrooms and private rooms with billionaires, CEOs, and cultural power players — to explore what actually drives wealth, success, and influence. From Bernie Madoff to Jack Welch to Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard, David has seen radically different expressions of power and money up close. What connects them isn’t strategy, manifestation, or obsession with money — it’s confidence. And what that confidence is attached to turns out to matter far more than the money itself. This conversation challenges hustle culture, money mythology, and the idea that wealth automatically delivers worth. It asks a quieter, more unsettling question: what are we really hoping money will fix? In this episode, we explore: The Common Factor: What billionaires actually share — and why it’s morally neutral. Money vs. Worth: Does wealth doesn’t create self-worth, or does it reveal where you already place it. The Patagonia Paradox: How Yvon Chouinard built a billion-dollar company without chasing money — and then gave it away. The Cashmere Prison: Why extreme wealth often creates fragility, not safety. Music as Identity Training: How sound helps confidence move from concept into the body. The Real Fear: Why the deepest anxiety isn’t having less — it’s ending up wrong. This episode is for anyone who wants more — but doesn’t want to lose themselves getting there.

    What Money Feels Like (with Kate Northrup)

    Money is usually discussed in terms of numbers, strategy, and spreadsheets. But we rarely talk about what money actually feels like in the body. In this episode of Music Is Therapy, Hesta Prynn sits down with Kate Northrup, best-selling author and creator of Relaxed Money, to explore why money is a nervous system experience rather than a math problem. Recording from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland—surrounded by world leaders and billionaires—Hesta shares a raw, personal look at her own relationship with wealth. From the "Rick Ross" Porsche strategy to the yacht fantasies that mask deep-seated insecurities, this episode pulls back the curtain on why high-achieving people continue to feel anxious, even when they're winning on paper. This conversation reframes abundance as a state you practice internally, proving that you can't buy your way into feeling safe—you have to regulate your way there. In this episode, we dive into: The Nervous System of Wealth: Why your body doesn’t understand your bank balance—it only understands safety. The Porsche Paradox: Hesta’s candid story about trying to outrun financial anxiety in a luxury SUV. The Responsibility Trap: Why worrying feels like "productive work" while it’s actually keeping you financially stuck. Childhood Blueprints: How early conditioning and survival responses are still making your adult money decisions. The Magnetism of Calm: Why pressure, urgency, and the "hustle" often repel the very abundance you’re chasing. Safety First: Practical ways to signal safety to your body so you can think clearly and act from power, not fear. This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why more money hasn’t led to more calm—and what to do instead.
