In this episode, I dive deep into something we don’t talk about enough—money trauma. Yes, it’s real, and it can silently affect how we see ourselves, make decisions, and even impact our mental health.

I share personal stories of my own struggles with money—how it shaped my self-worth and the choices I made—and how I began to heal from it. We’ll talk about the heavy weight of financial stress, the shame it can bring, and the steps we can take to rebuild a healthier, more peaceful relationship with money.

As we step into the new year, I want to offer you support and encouragement. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid to look at your finances, this episode is for you. It’s time to recognize, release, and heal from the money wounds holding you back so you can move forward with confidence and hope.
