Most of us were conditioned to manage money using systems that were never designed for our lives, especially if you're a creative, freelancer, or multi-hyphenate human with fluctuating income. These traditional frameworks might look responsible on paper, but they can actually keep you stuck, frustrated, and convinced that something's wrong with you.
In this episode, I break down how deeply ingrained money systems can quietly run your financial life in the background, even if you think you don't have one. From the "spend as little as possible" mindset to the "if I could just stick to a budget" trap, I'll show you how these invisible operating systems can create financial dissonance and guilt.
We'll talk about why you're not failing, it's that the system doesn't fit you. Just like realizing a yoga pose isn't working because your body is literally built differently, your money setup might be fighting against your natural rhythm, lifestyle, or career structure.
I'll walk you through what it looks like to build your own financial practice instead: one that's experimental, personalized, and actually sustainable. Think of it less like "paint by numbers" and more like a guided wine-and-design night where you get to make it your own.
If you're ready to stop contorting yourself to fit systems that don't serve you and start crafting one that does, this episode is your permission slip.
