Michelle Medrano and Karen Russo talk about financial wellness
Tax season's over. Kids getting out of school. Tariffs, war, graduations, business cycles, household pressure, all hitting at the same damn time. You're tired. You're stretched thin. And you can't figure out why more money isn't quieting the noise in your head.Dr. Preston Cherry is back in the booth, and we went where most people won't go. Financial wellness and mental wellness are not separate conversations. They're the same one. You can't out-earn the inner work. You can't out-hustle the self-audit you've been ducking. And the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it? That gap is you.We get into the honest self-audit (admit, acknowledge, act), the 35,000 decisions you're making every single day, and why your capacity is the most valuable currency you own. Across every income bracket, 32% of Americans think their finances will worsen in 2026. Highest pessimism Bankrate has clocked since 2018. That's not whining. That's the moment we're living in.Dr. Cherry drops one of the most important reframes in the episode: wealth funds wellbeing. Life and money alignment gives you money assignments. Translation, until you do the work to know what you actually value, no amount of income is going to fix what's broken on the inside. It'll just magnify it. More money doesn't solve the problem, but it does fund the solution if you've already done the audit.If you're a first-gen wealth builder, a business owner running on no sleep, or just someone exhausted from carrying decisions nobody else sees, this one is for you. Drill deep, not wide. Stop splitting your capacity across 14 directions. Start with the person in the mirror.If this hit home, drop a comment. Tell me where you're feeling it most. I read every single one.New episodes every week on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Subscribe so you never miss a real conversation.

Connect with the Investor Mama Tribe With over 25 years of experience managing the full spectrum of her clients' financial lives – everything from accounting and bill payment to coordinating with wealth managers, estate attorneys, and insurance agents – Tari K. Vickery brings an unmatched, real-world perspective to the emotional side of money. Her sociology degree from Stanford and lived experience through dramatic personal financial shifts give her a rare blend of academic insight and deep empathy. Her authenticity and hands-on expertise resonate with readers across generations, making her voice both trustworthy and transformational. Key Takeaways: Your money story starts in childhood — and it’s not your fault. Most money struggles are rooted in what we watched, heard, and felt as kids. Recognizing those patterns is the first step to breaking them. “We can’t afford it” can do more harm than good. Teaching kids the value behind financial choices (“we choose to spend our money differently”) builds healthier money mindsets than using scarcity language. Even wealthy people stress about money — and here’s why. Unexamined money triggers don’t disappear when the bank balance grows. Awareness of why money triggers you is what creates real peace. Avoidance is the enemy of financial freedom. Whether it’s unopened mail or unfiled taxes, avoidance creates a vicious cycle. The antidote? Start small, track your spending, and build on tiny wins. Start money conversations early — and make them normal. Talking to kids about money casually (at the grocery store, toy store, or dinner table) is far more powerful than one big, scary “money talk.” Have the hard conversations with aging parents and your partner. Not knowing where your parents stand financially — or being misaligned with your spouse on money values — creates silent stress that compounds over time. Compassion is the gateway to change. When you start examining your money wounds, be gentle with yourself and your parents. No one intentionally passed down financial trauma.
