Hey everyone, it's me, Rima Grace. So for the last six years or so, I've been asking people to share some of the most intimate details of their financial lives. I was in my late 20s when I first started doing this podcast, and I really wanted to understand why our relationship with money can feel so complicated and heavy. And since then, the show has taken me to all sorts of places.

We've told stories about financial infidelity and the ways money can quietly erode a relationship.

I knew in that moment I could not keep the secret any longer and live with myself. And so I said,

well, I have debt that I haven't

told you about. We've looked at how something as basic as your teeth can shape your job prospects.

I have this emotional attachment to good teeth. And the thought of not having them again, kind of, it scares me,

actually, because it would be reverting to that past Ryan, who was young and not doing really well in life.

And I've even talked with family members of people involved in extremist groups, trying to understand how things like money and power get tangled up together.

The worst things got, the more he hoarded.

I knew it wasn't normal to be tripping over piles of survival gear when we couldn't afford

to take anyone to the dentist for years on end.

And along the way, my life has changed.

I've gotten married.

I've moved cities.

And the world feels

different, too. Things cost more. The margin for air feels thinner. And there's just a lot of

uncertainty in the air. I've been wanting to build a stronger community for a while now to feel

a little less alone with our money. And so to really do that, I'm very excited to say that this

is uncomfortable is going weekly.

More episodes, more opportunities for us to connect and learn from each other.

I'm really looking forward to this new chapter, and I want you all to be a part of it.

I want to know what sorts of things are keeping you up at night.
