Why Does Money Make Us So Anxious?

Priya opens with what she calls the doctor's dilemma. We are trained for years to care for the human body, and never once taught how to care for our own financial future. She has watched attendings well into their 70s and 80s who feel they cannot retire, not because they failed to earn enough, but because money was never something they were taught to face.

Greg names the pattern he sees again and again. Some people clench so tightly around their money that fear quietly makes every decision for them. Others are so free with risk that bravado carries them, right up until the moment it cannot. Both are running from the same thing, and neither problem is really about the market.

Then the conversation opens into something larger: money as an energetic exchange rather than a scoreboard. Priya shares how yoga teacher training reframed money for her as something that has to move and flow, and how that single shift pulled her out of years of avoidance. Greg talks about purpose, about leaving people better than he found them, and about why the clients he serves best are the ones who trust him to stay calm with what they cannot stay calm about themselves.

It is a conversation about worthiness as much as wealth. About why the most capable people in the room are so often the most afraid of this one subject. And about what becomes possible when you stop treating money as math and start treating it as a mirror.
