What if the biggest obstacle to building wealth isn't your income, but the financial stories passed down through your family? In this powerful episode of The New Wealth Wave podcast, Dr. Joaquin Wallace reunites with Rahkim Sabree, AFC®, to unpack the hidden forces that sabotage our financial success before we even realize it.
Rahkim opens up about his upcoming book "Overcoming Financial Trauma" and reveals how the unconscious money beliefs inherited from previous generations can either propel us toward wealth or keep us trapped in cycles of financial struggle.
"Do you feel safe in your body when it comes to money?" Rahkim asks. "And a lot of times the answer that I receive when phrased that way... is a resounding no." This simple but profound question reveals how financial trauma lives not just in our minds, but in our nervous systems – affecting every money decision we make.
This episode dives deep into the second stage of Dr. Wallace's seven-stage generational wealth model, exploring how childhood money memories, family financial narratives, and inherited trauma create invisible barriers to wealth building. Rahkim reveals his six sources of financial trauma and explains why traditional financial advice often fails when trauma is involved.
