Ed chats with psychotherapist and author Tamala Floyd and financial wellness leader Saundra Davis for an eye-opening conversation at the intersection of healing, money, and identity. Together, they explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people unlock deep emotional transformation, why legacy burdens shape our financial behaviors, and how ancestral wisdom can accelerate healing across generations. Through honest stories, vulnerable insights, and grounded guidance, this episode highlights the truth that money is never just about numbers, it’s about the parts of ourselves we’ve protected, the wounds we’ve carried, and the generations that came before us. Listeners will walk away with a new understanding of wholeness, the power of self-leadership, and the emotional roots underlying our financial lives.

Key Takeaways:

• How do internal parts and protectors shape the way we approach money and emotional healing?

• In what ways do legacy burdens and ancestral patterns influence financial behavior across generations?

• How can therapy, self-leadership, and mindful awareness create lasting change in both personal and financial well-being?
