Somatic Finance is a new way forward in personal finance. Evolving our personal relationship with money is an opportunity for courageous opening and deep transformation, because true wealth is so much more than money. True wealth is the embodied experience of inner sufficiency, of having and being enough. When we feel this sense of inner sufficiency, our joy and generosity flow naturally, not as a concept, but as a direct, visceral experience. We don’t ignore the practical matters of money — it is our modern world. We become money masters — which means your inner wisdom aligns impeccably with manifest actions.

Our mission is to teach embodied finance through classes, events, coaching, writing, videos, audio and practices, so that people everywhere, no matter their current financial situation or mindset, can enjoy whole-body wealth as a felt experience.

They explore how people might handle the transition and how money fits in. Although this conversation between Wagner-Willis and Vodra happened before the COVID-19 pandemic, it remains relevant today.

The Money Quotient questionnaires they use on an annual basis to be certain that they’re covering all the bases with their clients, and how using a policy-based approach to financial planning can help reduce client stress during turbulent markets.

The fall of 1997 was full of change! Technology was in the headlines as new names of companies appeared every day. IPO was a new buzz word and stock prices ran wild while the common belief was that stock prices and the value of stock options no longer were tied to earnings but were tied to some cryptic formula based on new ideas and digital services. Of course, this all proved to be false, profit and earnings in fact are the underlying principle building blocks on which corporate value is built and time proved this.
