What if money isn’t the problem—but the way we’ve been taught to think about it is?
In this judgment-free conversation, we explore money as a tool for choice, clarity, and designing a meaningful life aligned with your values.
Money isn’t the meaning of life—but it shapes how we live it.
In this episode of The Art of a Meaningful Life, I sit down with RoseMarie Keogh Smyth, and together we open a conversation many of us were taught to avoid.
RoseMarie offers a refreshing, judgment-free perspective on money—not as status or shame, but as a tool we use to design a life aligned with our values. From student loans and seven jobs, to saving for a dream Harley, to becoming mortgage-free while still living fully, her stories are honest, practical, and deeply human.
📌 The Art of a Meaningful Life is a podcast about presence, creativity, and the choices that shape who we become.
We talk about:
Why money belongs in conversations about a meaningful life
Letting go of comparison and “keeping up with the Joneses”
Choosing experiences over appearances
Aligning your spending with what truly matters to you
Why “nothing should be off the table” when it comes to money, life, and truth
This episode isn’t about spreadsheets or deprivation. It’s about clarity, intention, and freedom—about voting with your dollars for the life you actually want to live.
If you’ve ever felt tension between meaning and money, this conversation is for you.
