Facing Your Finances: It’s Not a Haunted House (But It Feels Like One)
What fears are keeping you from opening your bank app? Also, how does avoiding your finances turn small problems into big ones?
In this episode, Ben tackles the fear factor that comes with facing your finances. From unopened bills to FOMO spending traps, he explains why money often feels scarier than it really is. With humor, honesty, and practical steps, he shows listeners how to shine a light on financial fears and take control one brave step at a time.

(3:45) Hear how fear doesn’t protect you—it paralyzes you—and how avoiding money problems worsens them over time.
(4:47) See why freezing when dealing with money is a normal brain response and how to take one small step forward.
