S3E25 - With My Mind on my Money

Money isn’t just numbers on a screen—it’s one of the most emotionally loaded parts of our lives. In this episode, we explore why financial stress hits so deeply, from those 3 a.m. spirals running mental calculations to the quiet shame that keeps people avoiding their bank accounts. This isn’t about budgeting tips or quick fixes—it’s about understanding the psychology of money, and why finances and mental health are so tightly intertwined.

We break down how money can represent security, freedom, control, or even self-worth, and how our upbringing shapes our financial behaviors more than we realize. We also look at the two-way relationship between mental health and finances—how depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD can impact money management, and how financial stress can, in turn, take a serious toll on mental health. Finally, we talk about realistic, compassionate ways forward, from addressing financial avoidance to separating your worth from your net worth.
