About this episode
What it's about
The "chaotic mess" in your bank account isn't a moral failing. It's the echo of patterns that were set before you could spell your own name. David and Emme open the season by introducing Financial DNA — the hidden architecture of money beliefs, attachment styles and inherited scripts that drive the financial decisions you can't quite explain.
