122 - How Financial Trauma Shapes Your Money Habits (And How to Heal Them)

Money problems aren’t just about math—they’re about mindset. In this episode, we explore the hidden side of personal finance: financial trauma, money scripts, and the emotional patterns that quietly sabotage your wealth.

We cover:

• How financial trauma shows up in your body and relationships.
• Why scarcity budgeting creates “whiplash” overspending.
• The cultural money myths keeping Americans broke.
• Practical rewiring tools: automation, emotional triggers, spending rituals, and account structures.
• The two levers that truly shift wealth psychology: decoupling money from status and rewiring habits around emotion, not logic.

If you’ve ever felt like your money habits make no sense—or that strategies never “stick”—this episode will change how you see wealth.
