About this listen

In this episode of Financial Flourish, host Michele discusses the underlying issues behind spending habits, emphasizing that the real problem often lies in the pressure individuals feel rather than the act of spending itself. She explores how cognitive load and emotional stress can lead to impulsive financial decisions, and how traditional approaches to budgeting and restriction can create a cycle of guilt and rebound spending. Michele advocates for increasing one's capacity to make better financial choices through awareness, rest, and support, rather than imposing stricter rules. The episode concludes with a call to notice pressure points in one's financial life as a first step towards meaningful change.
