How Culture Impacts Financial Trauma

How Culture Impacts Financial Trauma

This month has already been a busy month for me but I wanted to make sure I dropped in to say hey! If you want to grab my free resource and case study on Establishing Financial Boundaries from my workshop with Experian at the Allen Iverson Basketball Classic click HERE .


How do you define culture? This week (literally tomorrow) I'm flying to San Diego to take part in the 2024 Financial Therapy Association conference where I'll be discussing the impact of culture on financial trauma. As a sneak peek to that talk one of the questions I'll be asking the audience is how they define culture.


Most times when we hear the word we specifically think about race or ethnicity. However, culture can and does exist in a multitude of intersections we navigate every day. There is:

  • Work culture
  • Religious culture
  • Familial culture
  • Environmental culture
  • Consumer culture
  • Digital culture
  • Racial/Ethnic culture

When we think about how culture (or the intersection of cultures we navigate) influences our attitudes and behaviors with money, there is a direct line to our experiences with Big T and Little t financial trauma.

As I've been workshopping themes like establishing financial boundaries, understanding your money story, and aligning your values and your goals financially, I've realized that culture plays a significant role in how those topics show up in my audience's understanding of these topics.

Tell me how your various cultural identities influence your interactions with money.

Are there cultural expectations that impact your values or goals? Where do they come from?

I'd love to hear from you.


I am still booking for speaking engagements, workshops, and more this month!

Rahkim Sabree, AFC?, completely agree with you. Culture plays a huge role in money. And, I feel that culture is a bigger factor than traditional demographics. As you point out, understanding someone's personal culture which will be an intersection of their broader cultures is how we can help them. Understanding this helps us to understand why a lot of the financial literacy efforts have fallen short. They are so broad that they don't apply to anyone. IMHO.
