52 min - From the Archives: Generosity, Vulnerability, and Letting Down Defenses Around Money
Have you heard these myths about conflict and money?
Myth 1: Conflict is always bad and should be avoided at all costs.
Myth 2: Generosity means giving away all of your money.
Myth 3: Talking about money only leads to arguments.
Lily Kerrigan will share the truth about navigating conflict and money for highly sensitive individuals.
You can watch our conversation here.

This is Lily Kerrigan's story:
Growing up in a middle-class household, Lily Kerrigan's early exposure to her mother's anxiety around money left a lasting impact. Lily's highly sensitive nature led her to pick up on the generational trauma and financial anxiety, shaping her perception of money and conflict.
Her experiences with financial abuse in a past relationship further intensified her anxieties, causing her to associate generosity with vulnerability and fear of being taken advantage of. Despite being in a healing and positive relationship now, she finds it challenging to share and receive money, feeling an overwhelming need to constantly repay any acts of kindness, leading to a perpetual state of exhaustion.
Lily's journey reflects the intricate intersection between being highly sensitive and navigating complex emotions around money, generosity, and conflict, providing a profound insight into the struggles and complexities faced by individuals with similar sensitivities.
