It's Not About The Money is a personal finance and money-mindset show built around the belief that financial behavior often begins before a bank app is opened. Its recent episodes focus less on budgets and more on the body’s response to money: the tight chest, cold hands, avoidance, fear, shame, grief, and protection patterns that can appear around earning, spending, saving, pricing, investing, or planning. The show has a measured coaching style. It often names a pattern, gives it emotional context, and then shows why logic alone may not change it. Affirmations are questioned when they become a way to skip over fear rather than meet it. Financial contraction after success is treated as something familiar to the nervous system, not a simple failure of discipline. Business owners appear often in the examples, especially around undercharging, income ceilings, pricing, and the strange unease that can follow a financial win. Financial professionals are another recurring audience, with episodes asking what advisers can offer when AI can already produce fast technical plans. The answer, in the show’s frame, is deeper human skill: noticing what keeps clients from acting on good advice. Somatic money work is central. EFT, tapping points, body mapping, emotional scales, and the Money Narratives Clearing Method all appear as ways to move from insight toward change. Interview episodes extend the same themes through guests such as Theresa Lear Levine and the Bucket List Bombshells. Solo episodes are more instructional, often organized as part of a series such as The Body of Wealth or a financial coaching sequence. The emotional vocabulary is plain but specific. Shame is not treated as a character flaw. Fear is not treated as irrational noise. Grief around money, including financial abuse contexts, is named as something that can keep echoing in the body after the original situation has passed. The show also makes room for practical business finance, including tracking key numbers, but it keeps returning to the relationship underneath the strategy. It is most useful for listeners who want money guidance that includes psychology, coaching, and lived experience. It is not a market-news show. It is not a high-speed wealth-hacking show. Its strength is patience: the willingness to stay with one money pattern long enough to understand what it has been protecting.
Made for: For business owners, financial professionals, coaches, therapists, and money-curious listeners who understand the practical advice but still feel stuck in old patterns. It especially suits people interested in emotional safety, somatic practices, and money conversations with more depth than budgeting tips.
What sets it apart: The show links financial coaching with body-based emotional work, treating avoidance, overspending, undercharging, and fear of success as protective patterns rather than simple mistakes. Its mix of solo teaching, client-style examples, EFT discussion, and adviser-focused reflection gives it a slower, more therapeutic feel than most personal finance podcasts.
