Reframing Money as Mutual Care with Kendall Houghton, Economist

The first time I met Dr. Kendall Houghton, she casually shared three things every woman should know about money—instantly, the entire table leaned in. It was a conversation we all craved but rarely had.

In this episode of Embodied, Kendall—an economist, researcher, and financial guide—joins me to explore the deeper dimensions of money:

💰 The taboo around women and wealth—why claiming financial desires can feel rebellious.

💰 Money as shadow work—how spending habits reveal hidden emotions.

💰 The “money munchies”—the unconscious urge to spend as self-soothing.

💰 Balancing masculine & feminine energy—how trust impacts financial well-being.

💰 Money as mutual care—rethinking financial exchange as a form of connection.

She also asks a powerful question:

👉 Would you trust yourself as your own financial manager?

This episode will shift your money story and help you rethink wealth, abundance, and financial trust.
