Episode notes
Money Problems Often Stem From Emotions
- Many people's money problems are actually about emotions, trauma, and learned behavior rather than financial literacy.
- Jessica Moorhouse researched and writes that addressing these “everything but money” issues unlocks real financial change.
Truck Repossession Sparked Change
- One interviewee bought a truck he couldn't afford and had it repossessed at work, which forced financial reckoning.
- That public humiliation made him stop repeating his parents' harmful money patterns.
Shame Led To Hoarding Behavior
- A follower raised with a father who blamed kids for money stress became overly strict and judgmental with money.
- He later realized he was proving something to his father and burned out from hoarding rather than enjoying life.
