What happens when a cultural icon known for spreading joy and glam realness opens up about their most personal financial struggles? In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Jonathan Van Ness aka JVN for a raw, vulnerable, and hilarious conversation about money trauma, impulse spending, and the financial wake-up call that changed everything. From their first money memory at Bath & Body Works to navigating money as a public figure living with HIV, JVN shares how they went from financial avoidance to agency—with a little help from our past conversations. We dive deep into how queer joy is not just resistance, but a vital tool for survival, why financial literacy is crucial for marginalized communities, and what it really takes to heal your relationship with money. Plus, you'll hear Jonathan’s tips for luxury bag resale (you'll want to take notes), the emotional weight of growing up without financial guidance, and how they've transformed their entire financial life, mindset, and self-worth. Tune in!
