Let’s talk about one of the most common (and unspoken) fears: money. Whether you're afraid of not having enough, messing it up, or not knowing where to start — this episode is your guide to facing those fears with clarity and confidence.

• The surprising psychology behind “bag lady syndrome”
• How fear of money is tied to survival instincts
• The first step to financial peace — and why it’s the hardest
• How to reframe money talk (with yourself and others)

• Awareness is the starting point — know your numbers
• Fear thrives in the unknown — clarity calms the nervous system
• Find community and accountability — you don’t have to do it alone
• Create a vision — get clear on the life you’re building
• Talk kindly to yourself — your money story is still being written

• “Discomfort now creates peace later.”
• “One email could save you $600 — or get you a refund.”
• “Being afraid of money doesn’t mean you’re bad with it — it means you're human.”
• “You don’t need to face it all today. Just take the first step.”
• “Your future self is already cheering you on.”

Cat: Negotiated her rent increase down with just one email. 🙌
