This is Lily Kerrigan's story:
Growing up in a middle-class household, Lily Kerrigan's early exposure to her mother's anxiety around money left a lasting impact. Lily's highly sensitive nature led her to pick up on the generational trauma and financial anxiety, shaping her perception of money and conflict.
Her experiences with financial abuse in a past relationship further intensified her anxieties, causing her to associate generosity with vulnerability and fear of being taken advantage of. Despite being in a healing and positive relationship now, she finds it challenging to share and receive money, feeling an overwhelming need to constantly repay any acts of kindness, leading to a perpetual state of exhaustion.
Lily's journey reflects the intricate intersection between being highly sensitive and navigating complex emotions around money, generosity, and conflict, providing a profound insight into the struggles and complexities faced by individuals with similar sensitivities.
Lily is an actor, writer, and comedian who has toured her full comedy hour, The Lily Show, to D.C., LA, and Atlanta. You can find her on Instagram @lilykerriganpresents or on YouTube as Lily Kerrigan.
