Ever find yourself agonizing over the "right" amount to tip, feeling it tug at your emotions and your wallet? You're not alone. In this episode, join Randi Owsley, LMSW, and Jessica Bullwinkle, LMFT as they unpack why tipping has tipped the scales of our financial comfort.  We're flipping the script - transforming the way we think about generosity, social pressures, and ultimately, how we nurture our own financial health. For every woman out there juggling the quest for emotional balance with the practicalities of daily expenses, let's navigate this together, affirming that our self-worth is not defined by how much we give. 

In a world where the simple act of tipping can spiral into a complex web of emotions and financial stress, it's essential to ground ourselves in understanding and support. Why has tipping become such a burden? It's woven deeply into our social fabric, carrying expectations that often weigh heavily on us. By diving into the heart of this issue, we can decode the stress behind tipping expectations and learn how to navigate these waters without guilt. For women particularly, maneuvering through these moments requires resilience and a strong support network focused on financial empowerment. 

In our upcoming episodes, we pledge to dive deep into the heart of what many of us navigate daily but might feel too overwhelmed or uneasy to discuss openly: our financial well-being intertwined with societal expectations, particularly around tipping. From the unseen emotional labor that accompanies every tipping encounter to the candid, often unspoken realities of the financial strain it places on women--we're uncovering it all.  Together, let's liberate ourselves from the weight of societal expectations and craft a future where our financial decisions—tipping included—are made with confidence and peace of mind.
