Your money struggles aren’t really about money—they’re about the fears you hide, the dopamine driving your spending, and the emotional baggage you didn’t ask for but carry anyway.

In this episode, I’m joined by Aja Evans, financial therapist and author of Feel-Good Finance, to unravel the messy connection between your emotions and money. Together, we’re calling out fake financial milestones, exposing the real reasons behind your money habits, and breaking free from the self-worth-bank-account trap.

If you’re tired of being stuck in the same financial rut, this episode will give you the tools to rewrite your story and take control.

What You’ll Learn:

Why dopamine might be running your Amazon cart (and how to stop it).
How generational money stories keep you stuck—and how to break free.
Why your self-worth has nothing to do with your net worth.
