$400 stand mixer. I don’t bake. So what was I really buying?
This episode explores emotional spending, impulse buying, and the subtle psychology behind “I deserve this.”
We’re not talking about kitchen gadgets. We’re talking about identity, stress, dopamine, and the stories we tell ourselves before we click “add to cart.” If you’ve ever justified a purchase you didn’t need, this conversation might feel uncomfortably familiar... in the best way.
Financial wellness isn’t just about numbers. It’s about awareness.
