In this solo episode of the Utleiepodden series, host Christine Høst (also known as Christine Lundberg) introduces episode 2 of her book‑based podcast, reads an excerpt from her book, and explores the deep connection between money and emotions. She argues that while the mechanical formula for wealth (earn, spend little, invest) is simple, most people fail to follow it because money is fundamentally tied to feelings such as safety, fear, shame, envy, status, mastery, control and freedom. Christine guides listeners to recall their earliest money memories, sharing her own experiences of receiving pocket money, early employment, and the family’s silent attitude toward money. She explains how families transmit “money stories” – beliefs about fairness, gender pay equality, scarcity, and the moral character of the wealthy – that shape adult financial behavior, often unconsciously. The core of the episode is a reading from her book titled “Only cold‑hearted bitches make money,” recounting a coaching session in Phoenix where a former nurse admits that her self‑image prevents her from scaling her business, culminating in the stark statement that only “cold‑hearted bitches” can earn money. The coach reframes this, showing that money is a neutral measure of value delivered. Christine uses this anecdote to illustrate how emotional blocks and internal narratives hinder financial success. She concludes with two reflective questions for listeners about their first money memory and how it has shaped their current relationship with money, urging them to recognize and rewrite their stories. She promotes her book (12 lessons on money, including the key lesson “It’s about feelings, not numbers”), offers signed copies, and advertises an accompanying course that promises financial freedom.
