In this episode of The Internal Shift Show, Debbie Longo sits down with Monica Kaufman, Certified Financial Planner and founder of Harmony Wealth Academy, to explore how identity shapes financial behavior and long-term success. Monica explains how early programming influences our decisions, why lasting change requires an identity shift, and how money reflects internal alignment rather than external status.

The conversation dives into inherited “money scripts,” resilience, responsibility as the flip side of freedom, and why sustainable change happens through small, repeatable actions that build self-trust. Monica also shares practical strategies for building financial steadiness, strengthening adversity quotient, and creating systems that support growth without urgency or pressure.

This episode is for anyone who appears competent on the outside but knows there is unfinished internal work asking for attention.
