Life Without Bookends – The Podcast
Life shifts first.
Money shifts with it. Identity shifts alongside both.
Raven, and occasional guests, explore what happens when the structures that once defined our lives begin to unravel. Part reflection, part inquiry, these conversations invite you to revisit your assumptions about money, relationships, and the cultural scripts that have shaped you.
