Welcome back to Adult Child

where we take a deep dive into the impact of growing up in a dysfunctional family.

And today we are diving deep into our relationship with money, money, money, money. Now money was always a very charged

topic in my family growing up as I'm sure is the case for many of y'all listening and when faulty beliefs and

We come to believe that money is love, that money is security, that money is attention, and I can definitely relate to this.

So today I'm going to share about the faulty beliefs that were ingrained in me regarding money, and

then I have an amazing conversation with writer, producer, podcaster, Ben Rimmelauer. Now for any of y'all housewife whores out there you will know Ben as Countess Luans

but a few months back I heard him on another podcast and he was talking about his primary drug of called Bad with Money, which was in 2016, which is a play-by-play of

his unhealthy relationship with money throughout his entire life.

You need to check it out.

He holds nothing back.
