In my entrepreneurial world I am privileged to meet and interact with some of the most amazing women and thought leaders on the planet.
Some of you may recognize Bari from the written interview I posted on my Luscious Legacy Project page. After earning a Master of Arts in Somatic Psychology from Naropa University, Bari realized that the missing piece in her education was anything (and everything) to do with finance. She decided to learn as much as she could about money—practically, psychologically and spiritually.
In 2001 Bari started a financial therapy business and method called Conscious Bookkeeping. For over a decade, she has been rocking the financial world both nationally and now, internationally.
I just completed Bari Tessler Linden’s Tools for Financial Transformation Course. It was brilliant. Not only did I gain valuable insights into my relationship to giving, receiving, spending, and saving, I saw beautiful parallels in our work.
Bari is teaching people how to stop, look, and listen—to bring awareness to their money story or their patterns around money. I’m teaching women to pause and get curious about their food stories. What are they telling themselves about food, body image, digestion, weight and hunger?
I called Bari, my chocolate-loving friend and colleague, for a “virtual” tea and chocolate date.
I am always on the lookout for ways to enrich or expand the experience of my Inner Circle participants. Bari’s work seemed like the perfect fit. She has a Master of Arts in Somatic Psychology from Naropa University. She wrote a 150-page thesis on helping young women listen to their bodies using authentic movement. Can you see why I would want to interview her in the context of my Body Wisdom Boot Camp?
The holiday season can be a very stressful time of year for many reasons. Especially around finance.
I wanted to design a teleclass that would give my tribe some powerful tools to carry with them into the season of merriment. Sometimes we are faced with traditions we didn’t choose or the financial burden of purchasing all of the gifts on “the list.”
Pretty soon I found myself telling Bari about my own experiences around money and holidays, the boundaries I now have in place, and the fear I experienced when I began to examine my patterns around giving and receiving. The release I experienced when I tapped into my wisdom and found my voice.
And, in her infinite wisdom, Bari named it.
“Yes, yes, that’s your holiday money story,” she exclaimed, laughing.
Pretty soon we were talking and laughing and planning our collaboration: Your Holiday Money Story
The concept became richer and richer. The chocolate sat untouched on our desks, pretty rare for two self-proclaimed choco-goddesses. This interview will serve both of our communities, in a big way.
Who doesn’t have a holiday money story?
Needless to say this call will be rich!
Tuesday, December 6th
8:00—9:15 pm (eastern)
I am opening this call to a larger community, so feel free to invite your friends, colleagues and family members, but be sure they go through the registration process. Space is limited.
Meanwhile, visit Bari’s website, Conscious Bookkeeping, and take a look at this article for a window into the life and heart of this very special woman.
