SASM 049 – How to Have Plenty of Anything (Including Wild Money) with Luna Jaffe


Listen Later

I’m ready to go under the microscope.
Are you?
My guest for this Smart and Simple Matters episode – Luna Jaffe – just has a way with words. And thoughts. And concepts. And money.
I’m an open, “It’s good to be vulnerable” kinda guy. But Luna brought out a whole new level of candor and reflection in me. She’ll probably do the same for you after you listen to our chat.
Luna holds a passionate conviction that your relationship with money is critical to having a successful and satisfying life. She’s the Founder and CEO of Lunaria Financial, in Portland, OR where she offers securities and advisory services through KMS Financial Services, Inc.
But despite being a Certified Financial Planner and award-winning author of Wild Money: A Creative Journey to Financial Wisdom, she’s not that interested in bank accounts.

Get ready to be challenged. Get ready to grow. And get ready to answer questions like these, because here comes Luna to rock your brain.
How do I spend money? Am I intentional or unconscious? How am I when I go to nurture it? Can I sit with it? Can I let it pool around me? – Luna Jaffe
