Welcome back to season seven of Serious Coin.

This season is packed with conversations I’m eager to share. We have lots of great episodes ahead of us.

And now, for the first time, we’re coming to you via a video podcast which can be watched on YouTube and Spotify, so come check us out in video format.

In today’s episode of Serious Coin, I’m talking to parents, future parents, and anyone curious about how wealth shapes identity: because kids raised in affluent families face unique emotional, social, and psychological pressures.

Joining me is Jessica McGawley, founder of Dallington, a London-based advisory firm that works with ultra-high-net-worth families to raise grounded, motivated, and emotionally resilient children.

Jessica and her team partner with parents and young adults (teenagers/20-somethings) to navigate the challenges unique to those raised in wealth. In our conversation, Jessica shares practical insights every parent will want to hear.

Tap in to hear how to build connection, accountability, and character in children whose world often looks very different than their peers.

Key highlights:

-The three biggest concerns affluent parents wrestle with: entitlement, motivation, and isolation.

-How to shift from guilt or over-compensation to boundaries and values.

-Why kids sometimes hide their families’ wealth—and how to talk about it.

-Tips for giving power and responsibility (without losing control).

-How parents can model a healthy relationship with money so kids internalize it.
