The Overcoming Overspending Podcast

Consumer culture bombards us with lies aimed at making us spend money on unnecessary items. It equates self-worth with material possessions, leaving many feeling unfulfilled. Advertising often uses emotional manipulation, especially targeting parents to link products with their children's safety. The promise of happiness through accumulation is critiqued, urging a shift toward internal fulfillment and meaningful relationships. Prioritizing personal growth and intentional spending can lead to true happiness.

Your brain is not wired for balance. Your brain is wired for polarization. Your brain loves black and white all or nothing thinking and in all aspects of life, your brain wants you to pick a side and to not entertain that the opposite could be true. This is what quiets the cognitive dissonance between possibilities and creates the certainty that your brain is always seeking. This is even true in the way that we think about money which becomes problematic because when you’re not thinking about money in a balanced way, you will not have an emotional experience with money that is balanced which means you won’t manage your finances in a balanced way. You will live in the extremes, in the all or nothing, which closes you off to new possibilities and reaching your highest potential.   In this week of The Money Love Podcast we’re talking all about balance and how to create it within your finances. We start with exploring why achieving balance in life is so difficult and why our brain fights balance, how so much of the common money messages we absorb don’t promote balance, and the steps that we can take to create a more balanced mental, emotional, and tactical management style with our money.

For the first time in a long time, I’m starting out a new year without any goals I'm working towards. I decided that I'm going to try something completely different in 2022.  The truth is, I set some big, scary, crazy goals in 2021 and I didn't come anywhere close to hitting most of them. Like, I missed the mark big time. And then, I used missing the mark as a reason to beat myself up and I felt like a failure in so many ways. Now, I know I'm not alone here. In fact, only 9% of people actually achieve their New Year's resolutions each year. For most of us (myself included) we enter each year with exciting goals but by February 1 the pursuit of those goals is long gone and we're left feeling discouraged and disappointed in ourselves.     In this week's episode of The Money Love Podcast I’m breaking down the inherent issues that we run into with the goal-setting process and I'm explaining why I'm confident 2022 will be my best year yet without any goals leading the way. In this episode we're going to discuss why I'm not setting goals in 2022, the misunderstanding about goals that leads to abandonment, the secret behind creating any result you want in your finances, what I'm focusing on in 2022 instead of striving towards goals, and why I'm confident 2022 will be my best year ever without goals.

Do you create your thoughts on purpose? Or do you let your thoughts run on default and be based on past programming that isn’t serving you? The sad reality is that most people don’t realize that the quality of their thoughts will determine the quality of their lives and are the catalyst of every result they desire to create. Many adults live in a state of emotional childhood, attributing their emotions to their financial circumstances, and because of this they don’t realize the importance of their thoughts and as a result, they never practice the life-changing practice of intentional thought creation.   In this week of The Money Love Podcast, we’re talking all about the process of intentional thought creation and why it matters. I also walk you through the 4-step process of intentional thought creation that will enable you to reach your full financial potential. The message of this episode is simple: You either learn to control your thoughts, or your thoughts will control you. One path leads to you creating and living an extraordinary life, and the other will lead to a life of repeated underwhelming results. There is no result that is off the table for you to create because there is no thought that you cannot think and perfect with the process of intentional thought creation.

What would happen if you stripped away all the judgements, all the opinions, all the interpretations from your finances and you evaluated your current financial situation simply by the facts and the numbers? Doing this brings you into a place I call your pure financial circumstances, which ultimately is a place to rest from and escape the never-ending emotions, judgments and opinions we place on our financial situation.   In this week's episode of The Money Love Podcast we’re talking all about a coaching topic that can be a game-changer, which is the pure financial circumstance. It’s the practice of evaluating your finances by the pure facts. When we can do this, we can give ourselves a reprieve from the negative emotion we often feel around our finances. We can find temporary peace in the neutrality, because neutrality is the safe space between negative and positive. Between suffering and success. It's only when we accept the neutrality of our situation that we give ourselves the opportunity to rewrite our story and intentionally create thoughts that help us create the financial results we most desire.

Does your spouse’s spending choices drive you crazy? Or maybe they make you scratch your head in confusion with what they choose to spend money on? If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. The truth is, most couples don’t have similar or even complimentary money backgrounds and personalities which can lead to differences in spending, saving, and earning choices. The good news is, these differences don’t have to lead to division within your relationship. In fact, these differences can be used as a unique opportunity to understand each other on a deeper level and deepen the financial intimacy between the two of you.   In this week of The Money Love Podcast we’re talking all about your spouse’s or partners spending and money choices. I walk you through three impactful coaching concepts that will help you shift out of criticism of your partner and into curiosity with their financial choices. These are three coaching concepts that have helped me tremendously and that I have applied to my own relationship that has brought my husband and I closer together, and I know they have the power to do the same within your relationships.

What is the correlation that you make between your material wealth and your emotional wealth? Do you believe that one is dependent on the other? That in order to reach the highest levels of emotional wealth you must also achieve immense amounts of material wealth? The strong and positive correlation between material and emotional wealth is one of the most prominent, yet most damaging beliefs that we have about money. The problem is, it’s a belief that is widely socialized and deeply believed in the consumer culture that we live in. This means that so many people strive for material wealth in an attempt to achieve emotional wealth, only to be confused and disappointed when they realize that one does not guarantee the other. On this episode of The Money Love Podcast, we are discussing material wealth vs emotional wealth. We explore what each is and what it looks like, the correlation between the two (if any), which one should be the priority, and 4 principles that you can apply to make emotional wealth a priority. This will absolutely be an episode that challenges you to think in a new way that will help you avoid one of the most dangerous traps and lies that consumer culture tries to sell us.

Do you ever feel like you can’t stop spending money? That you spend money without much second thought or consideration? If you do, you’re not alone. The truth is when it comes to spending money, oftentimes we aren’t thinking rationally, but rather are relying on more emotional and subjective thinking to drive our purchasing decisions. Many women don’t realize their purchasing decisions are being governed by powerful cognitive biases and psychological phenomena. When we start to look closer at these biases we can start to understand the answer to the question “Why do we buy?”. On this episode of The Money Love Podcast, we are looking at the five main cognitive biases that drive us to buy. We take a look at each to understand what they are, how they affect us psychologically, and how marketers utilize them to increase the likelihood of you spending money.  Ultimately this episode will increase your level of awareness and help you be the watcher of your own mind to become a more mindful and intentional spender.
