Welcome back to another Emma's Dilemma episode where I address burning dilemma's from listeners. Today we have an absolute zinger: should I spend all my money now so I don't have regrets later?

Good question. Should you? Watching the world collapse around us naturally creates a fear response in our minds, so it's tempting to make decisions like this to feel like you're empowered and in control. But, while you'd be avoiding some regret, you're not avoiding all regret – and that's the reality we need to get our minds to understand.

In this episode, I take you through:

• Why it feels like there's no point doing anything good with your money
• How the brain seeks psychological relief
• The impact of acting on fear-responsive thoughts
• A decision framework to help you act from a place of power rather than fear
• The importance of reframing fear-based thoughts to protect your money mindset over the long term.
