Trust the Flow: Money, Fear, and the Practice of Generosity
Money, Meet Meaning

Mar 24, 2025

What if your money habits say more about your heart than your bank account? 
In this episode Tom Levinson and Amber Hacker talk with Cara Lai, a Buddhist mindfulness teacher, about the spiritual side of money. Cara shares why she hates her retirement account, and how she’s learning to move from fear-based saving toward generosity and trust – including through a pay-what-you-choose model.
​
Together, they explore what it means to balance the practicality of providing for a family with faith in the flow of life – and how generosity can be both a spiritual practice and a source of real-world abundance.
