Have you ever bought a gift because you felt guilty - not because you planned it? In this episode, we dig into the emotional triggers behind spending to buy affection and why guilt, comparison, and holiday pressure so easily lead to overspending. Learn how to set healthy boundaries, stop feeling responsible for everyone else’s happiness, and create a holiday season centered on connection, not consumerism.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why holiday guilt and comparison lead to overspending
• The emotional roots of “buying affection” (and how to untangle them)
• How overspending affects your kids’ long-term relationship with money
• Three powerful steps to break the cycle and spend with intention
• Real scripts you can use with kids, spouses, and extended family
• How boundaries create more connection, not less
