    Reframing Your Money Story with Bari Tessler

    We're back with Season 2 (after a break to heal various broken body parts). And we have a fantastic guest to--very gently--kick it all off.  Bari Tessler tells the story of how and why she brought her work as a Somatic Therapist to the world of finances. She  shares tips and personal stories to help you start reframing your relationship to money for the better. We especially love how she encourages you to add your own splash of meaning to your relationship with your finances. Recognizing your emotions around money doesn't have to feel "woowoo" (unless you want it to--you do you, Boo). PS If you haven't listened to our previous episodes about money, you might want to do so before or after this episode. -------------------------- Bari Tessler, M.A. is a Financial Therapist and Founder of The Art of Money, a year-long money school, and a 4-month Mentor program for therapists, coaches and financial professionals. Bari trained as a Somatic Therapist and received her Masters degree from Naropa University in 1998. She then ran a bookkeeping business for therapists and artists. In 2001, she merged all her training and created a somatic-based Financial Therapy methodology that she has been teaching for 20+ years. Bari is the Author of The Art of Money: A Life-Changing Guide to Financial Happiness and The Art of Money Workbook. Her work has been featured on Oprah.com,  Inc.com, US News & World Report, Reuters Money, The Fiscal Times, USA Today, The Cut, Girlboss, Nerd Wallet, Real Simple, MindBodyGreen, and REDBOOK. She has also been featured on the cover of Experience Life and Mindful. Bari loves to read, dance and enjoy dark chocolate. She lives in Boulder, CO with her husband, son, many cats + a big puppy.

    O, Death, Where Art Thou?

    Due to the rescheduling of a guest interview, Dacia and Dr. Kim switched things up this episode. Dr. Kim assigned Dacia some homework--to listen to a podcast episode between Dr. David Kessler (grief expert) and Tyler Henry (clairvoyant medium) and give her thoughts. What resulted was an authentic conversation about their own experiences with death, dying, and grief and their thoughts on the afterlife, spirituality, and our connection to each other in this life and beyond.

    We Put the "Fun" in Over- and Under-Functioning

    In this episode, we expand more on the topic of people-pleasing behaviors by digging into what it means to over-function and to under-function. Both types of functioning are ways we often try to cope with stress, and paying attention to our go-to pattern can help us shift into more effective coping strategies.

    Please Don't Please Me

    We usually know when we are people pleasing, but it can be hard to figure out how to stop trying to make everyone happy all the time. In this episode, we talk about the different motivations behind people pleasing (mindset, behaviors, emotions) and how knowing what motivates you can help you curb the need to please and have a more balanced sense of self.  To sign up for 21 days of motivation and encouragement to lessen your need to please, check out Dr. Kim's Mind Over Manners self-paced program. Think of it like 10 minute workouts with a personal trainer--only the muscle you're building is your ability to say NO and reclaim your sense of self!
