Rick continues his Internal Financial Systems™ series by exploring new dimensions of our money parts, including those tied to awareness, generosity, shame, and control. From the meticulous Accountant and the solution-focused Problem-Solver to the avoidant Ostrich and the self-sacrificing Over-Giver, these parts reveal the complexity of our financial behaviors. Rick also uncovers how polarizations, like the Controller’s desire for order versus the Free Spirit’s embrace of chaos, can drive internal conflict. By understanding and balancing these contrasting parts, we can foster meaningful change and align our financial choices with personal well-being.
