Money Trauma Runs Deep: Heal Your Relationship with Money and Break the Generational Curse (Featuring Anthony Weaver)

We always talk about getting to the bag, but what if the real block is the emotional baggage that came with the bag?

In this episode, I sit down with Anthony Weaver, host of the About That Wallet podcast, to dig into something we don’t talk about enough in our community: money trauma.

From growing up with syrup sandwiches and lunch money guilt to navigating the pressure of being the “financial fixer” in your family — we unpack how those childhood moments shape our adult money habits.

We talk about:

• What money trauma really is (and how it hides in plain sight)
• How Black families inherit more than just debt — we inherit financial silence
• What to teach our kids so they don’t repeat our cycles
• How to actually start healing (not just saving)
• Why it’s not just about budgeting, but building a new mindset

Whether you’re still trying to balance your paycheck and your peace or you’re raising kids and trying not to pass down the same patterns…

This conversation is for you.
