  • Ep. 195 - Money Matters: The Hidden Costs Your Brain Ignores
    Jan 23 2026

    We'd love to hear from you!

    In this episode, we’ll talk about why these charges slip under the radar, how they quietly become “normal,” and how to spot them so you can decide what’s worth keeping (and what isn’t). Sometimes the fastest way to gain more isn’t earning more; it’s subtracting what’s quietly draining your wallet. Tune in for a simple mindset shift and practical ways to reduce unnecessary spending and keep more of what you already make.

    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.
