Why Talking About Money Feels Cringe (and How to Get Over It)


Listen Later

Ever feel weird, awkward, or low-key embarrassed bringing up money? You're not alone. In this episode, we’re busting through that discomfort so you can start having confident money conversations without the cringe.

 

We’re talking about the psychology behind our money hangups, where that “don’t ask, don’t disrupt the vibe” energy comes from, and how to rewire it so you can take ownership of your financial life, even in the most casual settings.

 

💸 In this episode, we cover:

  • Why hyper-awareness and social media make talking about money feel risky
  • How to bring up pricing without feeling awkward or guilty
  • Financial literacy in the age of Google (and why Gen Z sometimes won’t ask questions)
  • The psychology behind not wanting to “disrupt the vibes” in conversations — and why clarity should always win
  • Why menus without prices are the ultimate red flag
  • The myth of “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it”, and how wealthy people actually talk about money

 

💥 The big takeaway? Confidence with money isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being willing to disrupt the flow for the sake of clarity, value, and ownership. When you can do that? You become unshakeable.

 

🎧 Tune in if you’re ready to:

  • Stop curating your image around money
  • Ask the “awkward” questions without shame
  • Build resilience and real financial power
