Good Life Project · How Much Money Is Enough? Your Confusing Money Questions Answered. | Leisa Peterson · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

But what I've seen over all my research and all the things that I've learned in working with people and their money stories is that

those things that were happening around the kitchen table when we were growing up have a much bigger impact than we actually realize later in life.

And then some people, I say this in my book, some people are really good with it.

They don't have challenges.

And that's fine.

I think my message is stronger for people who are like, I don't know why I'm doing these things.

They keep happening, but I can't stop them.

There's a pattern here.

And so the patterns that we don't like with money oftentimes have a lot to do with what was happening when we were growing up, which informs our money story and informs whether we're really scared about, you know, opening up the statements that come or not.

dealing with a problem that, you know, your claim has been denied and now you're going to have to go into this whole rabbit hole of like phone calls and you just get full body, you know, sweat coming on because you're like, I don't want to have these conversations about money.

There's a good chance that that has something to do with what was going on when we were younger.

Mm-hmm.

There's lots of different ways that we can go about this.

One that just immediately comes to mind is writing down those sayings that you heard about money growing up, like money doesn't grow on trees, or it's not polite to talk about money or to ask money questions.

It's not

appropriate to ask people how much money they make, but you hear them in the background when certain situations happen.

So it's like unpacking those statements you heard, those beliefs you were given.

I also really like to ask the question of what does your mother or the person who raised you in perhaps that role, what do your father believe about money?

What did they believe growing up?
