Ep. 194 - Money Matters: How and Why We Spend (or Don’t)

We'd love to hear from you! In this episode, we unpack the hidden psychology of money and why finances often trigger stress, avoidance, guilt, or overthinking. We’ll explore what happens in the brain when money enters the conversation, why certain financial habits are so hard to change, and how patterns like over-giving or over-restricting can show up as a form of self-protection. If you’ve ever wondered why money feels emotional, this conversation will help you understand your wiring—and move forward with more clarity and confidence.
