Money isn’t just about numbers—it’s about fear, identity, habits, family, and the stories we inherit.
In this episode of The Gentle Year, Knikki sits down with Albert Butler, CPA, for a deeply human conversation about finances, family, and what it actually means to build stability in an uncertain world. Together, they explore why so many families—especially millennials—feel stuck despite “doing everything right,” and why budgeting, purpose, and self-awareness matter more than chasing more income.
Albert reframes money as a tool, not the goal, introduces the idea of an internal economy built on skills and time, and explains why avoiding financial conversations often creates more stress—not less. The conversation also dives into parenting and money: how children learn financial attitudes, how scarcity thinking gets passed down, and why transparency without fear is essential.
