In this episode, I explain how one simple financial decision that I made recently, left me feeling judged, insecure, and misunderstood by my family and friends.

Let's face it, not everyone is going to agree with our decisions, and not just our financial decisions. We put so much emphasis and energy into trying to please the people around us, that their disapproval can leave us feeling disheartened, anxious and questioning our own ability to make decisions for ourselves. Every person has their own story, and knowing that your story and their story will never be the same, is an important lesson in taking back your control and sense of self.

I explain some of the thought processes I went through and how you can change your response towards the opinions of others.
