“Does Any of This Even Matter?” — A 20-Year Money Coach’s Wake-Up Call

By Wade Reed

I’ve never shared anything quite like this publicly.

Not on the podcast. Not on stage. Not in client meetings.

But a few months ago, I almost gave it all up — the podcast, the business, the mission I’ve poured 20 years into. Not because it wasn’t successful… but because I wasn’t sure it mattered anymore.

That sentence alone was hard to admit.

And if you’ve ever hit a point where your work felt hollow, your progress stalled, and your purpose fuzzy — I want you to keep reading. Because this story ends with something you need to hear.

The Wall I Didn’t See Coming

For years, I was consistent. Weekly episodes. Client meetings. Strategy calls. Training sessions. Building what I believed was meaningful work — helping people unlock financial freedom and peace of mind.

But then it started to slip.

I found myself skipping uploads. Ignoring the mic. Not because I was too busy, but because I had too much time… and no energy.

I wasn’t burned out from doing too much. I was fading from doing too little of what truly filled me.

“Am I Even Making a Difference?”

That’s the question I couldn’t shake.

It came up during a walk in Florida with a mentor of mine — Kellan Fluckiger, a man with a life story so powerful it demands attention. I asked him, with all the weight behind it:

“Kellan, does the work I do even matter anymore? I mean, there are thousands of voices talking about money. Why does my voice matter?”

He didn’t rush to answer. Instead, he asked me something that cut right to the truth:

“What do you actually do in your conversations with clients?”

I paused. Then it clicked.

It’s Never Been About Money

Money is the surface issue. The presenting symptom. But underneath?

  • It’s marriages on the edge of collapse.
  • It’s entrepreneurs drowning in silent stress.
  • It’s parents waking up at 3am panicking about bills.
  • It’s couples who can’t talk about money… so they stop talking altogether.

Money is the excuse.
Communication is the issue.
And healing is the opportunity.

The 4 Truths That Brought Me Back

Kellan, who’s survived near-death experiences, shared something I’ll never forget:

  1. We were divinely created and known by God.
  2. We chose to come to this earth to fulfill a specific purpose.
  3. We were excited to come here.
  4. We were given every talent and gift necessary to fulfill our mission.

That was it. That was the turning point. I realized I had been given everything I need to do this work.

The Declaration

“I am a powerful agent for God to bring light and truth to His children and free them from the bondage of money so they can live powerful and fulfilling lives.”

That’s not just a cute tagline. That’s my battle cry. And it’s the filter for everything I do from this day forward.

So… Does It Matter?

Yes. It matters. You matter.

The work you’re doing — whether you feel stuck in it, tired of it, or unsure if it’s adding up — it matters more than you know.

Let this be your reminder.
