Summary

Click Here for the Show Notes In this episode, the speaker explores the deeply rooted issue of money trauma—the fears, habits, and limiting beliefs about money that are often unconsciously passed down from parents to children. She opens up about her own experiences teaching her kids, from toddlers to college graduates, how to think about money differently, build wealth, and pursue financial freedom. Rather than simply telling children “we can’t afford that,” she shares practical ways to turn everyday moments into lessons about saving, budgeting, and earning. Through open conversations and modeling smart financial behavior, she emphasizes teaching kids to create money rather than just consume it. Drawing from her own journey as an entrepreneur and real estate investor, she explains how she helped her children buy rental properties before they turned 18, showing them firsthand how money can grow through investing. Beyond strategies, she highlights the importance of parents healing their own financial wounds—recognizing that breaking the cycle of money stress begins with self-awareness and changing how we relate to money ourselves. Ultimately, her message is one of empowerment: by shifting the way we talk about and model financial habits, we can raise a generation that is emotionally secure, financially literate, and free from the weight of inherited money trauma. If this message resonated with you, take the first step toward transforming your family’s financial future today. Start having open, honest conversations about money at home, explore the free resources linked in the show notes, and book a free strategy call with us and learn how to begin building passive income through real estate. Don’t just dream about financial freedom—take action and create it for yourself and your kids. -------------------------------- Download your FREE copy of: The Ultimate Guide to Passive Real Estate Investing.

0:00.0	Welcome to passive real estate investing, the show where busy people like you learn how to build substantial passive income while creating wealth for the long term.
0:09.7	And now, here's your host, Marco Santorelli.
0:12.9	Hey, everyone, and welcome to passive real estate investing.
0:16.3	I'm Melissa Nash, your guest host, jumping in for now. Let's dive in. Money trauma is real, and most of us
0:24.5	are unknowingly passing it down to our kids. But what if you could break that cycle? What if you
0:31.2	could teach your children how to build wealth, think like entrepreneurs, and create financial
0:37.3	freedom for themselves? Well, today I'm sharing
0:40.2	the real conversations and strategies I've used with my own kids, from toddlers to college graduates.
0:46.8	And in this episode, you'll have practical tools to change how you talk about money at home,

1:01.5	You know, I've been thinking about this episode for a while now. And to be honest, I'm a little
1:07.6	bit nervous because talking about how to raise your kids and money, that's really
1:13.4	vulnerable stuff. And I don't want to come across looking like I think I'm some amazing
1:18.4	parent or I've got it all figured out because I don't. But what I have figured out is this.
1:25.5	Most of us are carrying around money trauma that we didn't even ask for
1:30.5	and we're passing it down to our kids without realizing it. So I want you to think about this for a
1:36.8	second. Maybe your parents grew up in homes where money was stressful, scary, or taboo. So they pass those fears and habits to you.
1:47.5	And now you're doing the same to your kids, even though you don't want to or may not even
1:53.6	realize you're doing it. And it's not your fault. And it wasn't their fault either. And here's the
1:59.7	thing. We can break the cycle.
2:02.9	And that's exactly what I want to talk to you about today.
