The Broke Generation

How to like yourself more PART TWO


Listen Later

In part two of this slap-a-dappin episode on self-image and financial health, I explore four additional powerful strategies to build self-acceptance and stop the cycle of emotional spending. Building on the foundation laid in part one, this episode dives deeper into identifying your "fantasy self," recognising spending triggers, working with what you already own, and developing a framework to intercept negative self-talk. Discover how liking yourself more can become your financial superpower and free up mental space previously consumed by self-criticism.

What you will learn: 

  • How to identify your "fantasy self" and break the spending cycle tied to that unrealistic image
  • Techniques to recognise and distance yourself from triggers that lead to emotional spending
  • Why working with what you already own can radically shift your relationship with yourself
  • A practical A.A.D.E. framework (Acknowledge, Articulate, Dispute, Evidence) to intercept negative self-talk
  • The connection between self-acceptance and improved financial decision-making
