What if everything you were taught about money was wrong? In this opening chapter, Mel Dorman invites you to step outside the financial “scripts” we’ve inherited—stories about wealth, ownership, and success that were never designed to serve us. Through Rachel’s powerful journey from survival to rootedness, and Mel’s own reflections on money myths, you’ll see how deeply social conditioning shapes our beliefs about worth, belonging, and possibility.

This episode exposes the invisible rules that keep us small, from toxic beauty standards to the lie that only banks can decide who gets to build wealth. Mel shows how seller financing flips that script—turning neighbors into partners and transactions into relationships.

Listen in to unlearn the stories that keep you stuck, reclaim the power you already hold, and discover how to build freedom one community-driven deal at a time.
