The Cost of Success: Money, Boundaries, and the Price No One Talks About

In this episode of Rich Lessons, we go deep into the real cost of making more money—the stuff no one tells you about when the checks start clearing. From strained relationships and emotional burnout to the pressure of being the "go-to" person for your family, we unpack the hidden side of financial growth.
We talk about the emotional weight of being a giver, the generational and cultural expectations around wealth (especially in Black communities), and the financial mistakes that still sting. Whether it’s a $15,000 ask from a family member or the guilt of saying “no” when you really want to help, we get real about boundaries, burnout, and the balancing act of ambition and impact.
This one is packed with honest lessons, unfiltered stories, and a reminder that success without boundaries can cost you more than money.
