Money Isn’t the Goal: Building a Financial Life With Purpose | John Coleman (Bonus Episode)

What if the goal of money isn’t just more - but meaning? In this conversation, Diane explores a refreshing and purpose-driven approach to personal finance inspired by Good Money by John Coleman. Rather than following the traditional formula of earning more, saving for retirement, and checking all the expected boxes, this episode invites you to rethink your relationship with money from the ground up. Together, we unpack how to align your finances with your values, prioritize purpose in your work, spend more intentionally, and use your resources to create real impact.
