Ep 96 - What if Money is a Person with Morgana Rae

In this episode, we have a conversation with Morgana Rae, a life coach with extensive experience. Morgana shares her personal journey, where she found herself at a difficult point in life when nobody was willing to work with her. This led to a loss of hope and a rollercoaster of emotions surrounding money. Despite trying various approaches, Morgana couldn't improve her financial situation until she asked herself a powerful question: "If my money was a person, who would it be?" By personifying money, she was able to make it more tangible and address her issues with it. This process took time, but it helped Morgana gain a better understanding of her relationship with money and handle it more effectively.


Morgana suggests blaming your money stress on an external entity to separate yourself from negative emotions and work towards a solution. She emphasizes the importance of engaging in real, measurable work to overcome financial challenges. To conquer financial obstacles, Morgana outlines a step-by-step process: uncover the root cause, personify it as a "monster," destroy the monster, and replace it with your "money honey." Having a conversation with your new money honey helps establish a healthier relationship with money. Finally, Morgana highlights the significance of taking concrete and measurable actions to make progress in your financial journey. To learn more about Morgana Rae and her work, visit her website at morganarae.com.


The Money Talking points for today’s episode are:

  1. If my money was a person, who would it be?
  2. Who is your money as a person? Ask a friend!

Summer is right around the corner and that brings increased expenses. Both in terms of air conditioning and vacations! Do you spend to keep up with your friends and families on trips or going out every weekend? What should you consider during the summer? What are the benefits of planning for the summer?

Here are the 6 steps to increasing your income that Chris shared on the podcast

  1. DECIDE that you want to be wealthy and that you want to be to increase your income. So many ppl in a fixed mindset, complaining, wishing they had it better, wishing for me, stop complaining and DECIDE
  2. BELIEVE that it is possible
  3. Analyze what skill sets, characteristics, and attributes you have.
  4. Become addicted to learning.
  5. Become OBSESSED with becoming the best possible version of yourself that there is.
  6. Find a reason bigger than just yourself to motivate you to make more money - for me.
