Kira Hartley Klinger built her reselling empire one thrift store find at a time as a divorced single mom with no startup capital and no business plan, just the drive to make it work.

In this episode, Dr. Sev and Kira get real about free marketing, time management with kids, hard money lessons, and why doing it imperfectly beats not doing it at all. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to start, Kira's story — from side hustle to Etsy shop to published author to TV — will remind you: it's never too late. You just have to start where you are.

Doug Lynam spent 20 years as a Benedictine monk before becoming a financial advisor, and that unusual path gave him a front-row seat to something most financial professionals miss entirely.

In this episode, Doug explains how your Enneagram personality type shapes the way you earn, save, invest, and give, and introduces his concept of the "sacred wound", the emotional pattern from your past that's been running your money decisions ever since.

This isn't about budgets or discipline. It's about understanding why you do what you do, so you can finally start doing something different.

In this episode of the Dr. Sev Talks Money podcast, Dr. Sev and Andy Bennetts, financial empowerment coach, explore why many people struggle with money even when budgeting, paying bills, and trying to do everything right.

They break down common money beliefs that may be holding us back, the emotional and mental weight of debt, and how to move from financial overwhelm to financial clarity with simple, practical changes.

They also unpack the emotional and spiritual impact of debt, question popular financial advice like “never use a credit card,” and discuss how the banking system profits when we don’t fully understand how money works.
