Break Money Shame + Rebuild Confidence: Financial Dignity with Christine Luken

Money is emotional and financial anxiety often shows up as money avoidance, emotional spending, or money shame, especially after debt or big transitions like divorce. In this episode of Living Room Wisdom, Patrina Wisdom talks with Christine Luken, author of Money Is Emotional and a financial dignity coach, about how to rebuild money confidence without guilt or perfectionism.

Christine shares her Financial Dignity Framework and the Anatomy of Abundance to help you align money decisions with identity, values, and sustainable habits, plus a weekly “money date” that helps couples talk about money calmly.

You’ll learn how to:

• break shame-driven money patterns
• stop avoiding your numbers and create clarity
