NOVEMBER 22 25: Trauma of Money
Host Robert opens the Fellow Traveler podcast by introducing Call to Parent, a community within ACA focused on transforming childhood trauma into wholeness through inner child/parent practices and freely available workshops and podcasts. He welcomes guest Chantel Chapman, CEO and co-founder of the Trauma of Money Institute and bestselling author of Trauma of Money. Chapman shares her origin story—growing up in poverty, experiencing abuse, and forming the twin beliefs that money equals safety and she is unworthy—which later drove a finance career that masked financial avoidance and “fawning.” A family member’s addiction recovery became her catalyst to 12-step rooms (CoDA, ACA, Al‑Anon), trauma therapy, and a synthesis of neuroscience, addiction, and systemic economics, rejecting financial-psychology “disorder” labels. She explains scarcity’s cognitive tunneling and “bandwidth tax,” promotes curiosity and fault tolerance, and outlines TOM’s six-step method. They review her institute’s training and, in Q&A, cover reframing money as medicine, nervous system tools, investing anxiety, replace‑don’t‑restrict soothing, income‑agnostic money trauma, and gender dynamics.
