How Our Background and Human Nature Shape Our Relationship With Money

play Play pause Pause
Most personal finance advice focuses on numbers: budgets, investing, and strategies to grow your money. But what if your biggest money challenges have less to do with math, and more to do with your past?

My guest today is Jessica Moorhouse, financial educator and author of Everything But Money. Jessica has spent over a decade helping Canadians understand not just how money works, but why we behave the way we do with it.

In our conversation, Jessica explains how childhood experiences, family patterns, trauma, and human psychology shape our relationship with money. We discuss common emotional struggles like shame, fear, and anxiety, the toxic money behaviors many people fall into.

If you’ve ever felt stuck financially despite knowing what you “should” do, this episode offers a more human, honest approach to building a healthier relationship with money.
