Elizabeth Husserl is a financial advisor and co-founder of Peak 360 Wealth Management. With a BA in economics from Tulane and a master’s in east-west psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, she bridges financial literacy and emotional well-being. She’s led workshops for Airbnb, Unity, and Google, and now shares her expertise in her new book, The Power of Enough: Finding Joy in Your Relationship with Money.
Raised by financially stable parents—a doctor and a therapist—Elizabeth still felt a deep sense of scarcity growing up. This, she discovered, was tied to her family’s history of fleeing Europe during World War II. Her perspective shifted further while working with indigenous women in Oaxaca, Mexico, where she saw communities rich in connection and purpose despite limited material wealth.
In The Power of Enough, Elizabeth redefines wealth beyond just financial stability. She introduces practices like the “satiation practice,” encouraging people to identify daily moments of fulfillment, both with and without money. By shifting focus from scarcity to satisfaction, Elizabeth shows that true wealth comes from recognizing that we are already enough.
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
Do not feel crazy because you feel scarcity. We are wired to feel scarcity. But what you also have is the ability to develop this new muscle around satiation and fulfillment. We are wired to seek. We need to practice fulfillment to offset that desire to seek.
