The Dual Energies of Earning and Keeping Money
Jordan Grumet, a seasoned financial advisor, emphasized the contrasting energies involved in earning and keeping money. He noted that the drive to “chase the rabbit” is different from the responsibility and anxiety that come with actually catching it. This transition can be challenging, triggering a new set of emotional complexities.
The Invisible Wealth and Visible Status Symbols
Dr. Lakisha L. Simmons highlighted the concept of “invisible wealth,” which often goes unnoticed as people tend to focus on visible status symbols like cars and homes. She urged individuals to consider what truly “lights their soul on fire,” rather than getting caught up in materialistic desires.
The Importance of Financial Maturity

Jordan Grumet returned to discuss the power of compounding over time and the importance of not interfering with it. He also stressed the need for a healthy attitude towards money, advocating for a balanced approach that nurtures all aspects of one's being.
The Psychological Health of Spending
Dr. Lakisha L. Simmons touched on the psychological benefits of spending money in a way that aligns with one's emotional and mental well-being. She argued that spending money to feel good can actually be an investment in oneself, contributing to a higher “soul ROI.”
The Holistic Approach to Financial Independence
Mariko Gordon concluded the discussion by emphasizing the holistic nature of financial independence. She noted that it's not just about money; it involves a deep level of self-awareness and introspection. Achieving financial freedom requires an integrated approach that nurtures your mind, body, and soul.
