Today we’re welcoming DonJay Rice to the podcast, a financial coach specializing in the intersection of money, grief, and trauma.

In this episode you’ll gain insight on how past and present grief and trauma influences financial behaviors and decisions. You’ll also gain the importance of understanding your own money messages, how to cope with financial mistakes and uncertainty, and adopting an empowered mindset toward finances.

DonJay shares his personal story of overcoming childhood adversities—including navigating a father who had a work disability when he was 8 (then had to become the “man of the house”, a mother with extreme anxiety, and two brothers with special needs—and how it shaped his purpose in helping others and how he approaches financial literacy. Particularly, when we experience trauma as he did from a very young age.

Seriously, listen closely to this episode you guys! DonJoy also provides some super impactful and practical exercises—one that hit me SO hard and I have since put into practice in my own life, too, and it has been a game-changer.

This episode provides such valuable insights and actionable steps for anyone struggling with the complexities of grief and financial management—whether that is you or someone you know.
