Episode 599: Between Scarcity to Abundance: Understanding the Spectrum of Financial and Clutter Mindsets with Coach Stefania Mariaa Part 1
We all have a common struggle with clutter and how it makes us feel – but did you know those same emotions apply to our relationship with money?
Kathi Lipp and her guest, multidisciplinary coach and TikTok star Stefania Mariaa, have innovative and imaginative answers to the questions, “What is financial intimacy and why do I need it?” In this episode, Kathi and Stefania discuss ways to manage your personal finances and spending habits more deliberately and thoughtfully.
- Where do I stand on the spending spectrum?
- How do I make my time, energy, and money count?
- How does my inner teen influence my decisions?
This episode explores the intricate connections between our mindset around clutter and our money, the dangers of both scarcity and abundance thinking, the truth of financial intimacy, and budgeting for resources beyond money—namely, time and energy. You'll learn about the concept of 'sovereign participation,' breaking trauma patterns related to financial scarcity, and healing money wounds developed during our formative teen years. Tune in for deep insights on self-respect, autonomy, and practical frameworks for better living, whether organizing your home or your wallet.
