Everyone's Talkin' Money

How to Untangle Your Identity from Your Finances: The Separation Process (Part 2)


Listen Later

Welcome to Part 2 of one of the most important and personal episodes of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money. In Part 1, we exposed the damaging belief that your self-worth is tied to your net worth—and now, it’s time to do something about it.

In this episode, I walk you through my four-part Separation Process—a framework to help you shift from financial shame to clarity, resilience, and empowerment.

You’ll learn how to rewire the way you see yourself in relation to money, so you can stop letting your bank balance dictate your self-esteem and finally take back your financial power.

You’ll walk away with:

The Separation Process:Step 1 – Separate the Math from the Meaning. Learn how to treat your finances as data—not a moral scorecard—so you can make money decisions without shame.

Step 2 – Inventory Your Non-Financial Value. Make a list of 10 ways you add value to the world that have nothing to do with money—and keep it close for tough days.

Step 3 – Redefine Success on Your Terms. Ditch society’s hustle metric and reimagine what success looks like when it aligns with your values.

Step 4 – Practice Compassionate Reality. Handle financial challenges with truth and grace, so you're solving problems—not attacking your own self-worth.

Plus:

The Worth Resume – a powerful tool to track the value you bring to the world that’s not on a spreadsheet

Self-Worth Buffers – five daily practices that build emotional resilience and protect your identity from financial stress

Real-Life Scenarios – practical scripts and strategies for common situations where self-worth and money get tangled:

We will discuss:

  • Social comparison on Instagram
  • Financial setbacks or mistakes (like missed payments)
  • Saying “no” to spending you can’t afford
  • Having hard money convos with partners or family
  • Even celebrating financial wins without letting them define you
  • This episode is your emotional toolkit for making money decisions from strength, not shame. You are not your balance sheet—and today, we’re putting that truth into action.
