222: From Avoidance to Action: How to stop hiding and face your money problems head-on


Listen Later

If you feel anxious every time you open your banking app… If you avoid checking your credit card statement… If you secretly wonder how did my spending get this out of control?

This episode is for you.

After coaching thousands of women on their overspending habits, one pattern shows up again and again: financial avoidance.

When you avoid your money, you lose clarity—and when you lose clarity, overspending becomes almost inevitable.

In this episode, we're talking about:

  • Why financial avoidance is one of the biggest drivers of overspending

  • The surprising psychology behind why we hide from our money

  • How shame and emotional discomfort keep you stuck in the cycle

  • The powerful mindset shift that helps you stop avoiding your finances

  • 3 simple steps to start facing your money without overwhelm

You'll also learn why avoiding your finances actually makes your money stress worse, and how small daily habits can rebuild clarity and confidence with your money.

If you've ever felt ashamed of your spending, overwhelmed by your finances, or afraid to look at your bank account—this episode will help you finally break that cycle.

Because the truth is: What you avoid controls you. But what you face frees you.
