how to tell yourself "no" in a healthy way when it comes to spending money


Listen Later

Millennials and Gen Z are caught in a constant battle between "live your best life" and feeling guilt over every swipe of your card. Whether it's bottomless brunch, concert tickets, skincare hauls, or another weekend trip you "deserve", there's a low-key financial identity crisis happening under the surface.

In this episode, we're unpacking how to tell yourself "no" in a way that's not rooted in shame, lack, or self-punishment, but grounded in clarity and autonomy.

Tune in to hear:

💰Why every "yes" you make with your money already contains a "no" (and why that's not a bad thing)

💰How to stop treating responsible spending like punishment

💰The Sylvia Plath fig tree metaphor that will haunt you (and maybe shift your entire view of decision-making)

💰How to recover from the "f**k it blackout" spending spiral

💰What to ask yourself before any purchase

You can't build financial peace from a place of self-attack. You can't get to your "yes life" by constantly punishing yourself with nos. Let's shift that narrative.
