  • How to Stop Being Weird About Money
    Feb 18 2026

    We all have a relationship with money—and whether we realize it or not, it shapes how we earn, spend, save, and stress. In this episode, I break down some of the most common types of money relationships and how they show up in real life—from avoidance and never spending, easily parting ways with money and abundance mindsets.

    You’ll learn how to examine how these money patterns are formed over time, and recognize which one you fall into. Most importantly— I share some practical mindset shifts and habits that can help to transform a negative money relationship into a more confident, peaceful, and positive one.


    This episode isn’t about judgment or perfection. It’s about awareness, healing, and giving yourself the tools to relate to money in a way that supports the life you actually want.
