35: Why Money Issues Are Mental Health Issues with Chelsea Fagan

Tired of the oversimplified financial advice flooding social media? In this episode, we're diving into the uncomfortable truth about why money management is 10% math and 90% emotional intelligence with Chelsea Fagan, founder of The Financial Diet.

In conversation, we tackle:

* How growing up in a low-income household surrounded by affluence shaped Chelsea's complicated relationship with money

* Why you can't have stable mental health when you're financially unstable

* The problem with analysis paralysis around money decisions and practical first steps for those feeling overwhelmed

* How social media creates unrealistic timelines for financial milestones, making people feel they should be financially set by their 30s

* Why "relatability" online often reinforces bad financial habits, even among high-earning content creators

* Why understanding money is less about mathematical skills and more about emotional regulation
