MONEY SHAME (yikes!)...it's a charged topic, and it's much more common than you probably think.
It's that regret, that embarrassment, that "ick" you get around your past financial decisions that -- truth be told -- inevitably get in the way of your current and future financial decisions.
We have all experienced it, and it's time to normalize it and move past it.
On this episode, I have the great pleasure of talking with LaQueshia Clemons, LCSW, AFC®. LaQueshia is a therapist and a financial counselor with deep knowledge of money trauma and healing.
In this episode, we talk about:
- What money shame is, how it feels, and how it holds us back
- How money shame is much more common than you think: Even financial professionals, those people who are supposed to be "good with money" need help working with their money shame in their personal finances
- The steps to take to recognize and move past money shame in your own life
- Our personal stories of money shame and how self knowledge and a plan of action helped us move through it
- The power of feeling the shame and "doing it anyway"--doing that thing, making that decision, moving through that feeling so it no longer holds you back
