Your Money. Your Move.

Why smart women avoid their money


Listen Later

When you earn good money and still put off opening your bank app, it is rarely about know-how. It is usually about the emotional weight that money has picked up over time.

In this episode of Your Money, Your Move, Holly explores why smart, successful women avoid looking at their money even when nothing is technically wrong. She breaks down the real reasons money avoidance shows up, including decision overload, fear of getting it wrong, and the desire to protect a delicate sense of security.

This conversation reframes avoidance as a human response rather than a personal failure. Holly introduces a simple awareness-based habit that interrupts the avoidance loop and replaces guessing with clarity. You will learn how small, low-pressure check-ins create steadier decision-making and rebuild trust with your money.

This episode is for high-achieving women who want to feel calmer, clearer, and more engaged with their finances without rigid rules or perfection.
