In this episode, Nikki is joined by financial therapist and yoga teacher Tammy Shweiger to talk about why money is so emotional and the surprising overlap between improving your relationship with money, movement, and behavior change.

Topics covered:

• Why struggling with money doesn't mean you're bad at math or lack discipline

• How small steps and self-compassion can make your finances feel less overwhelming.

• How slowing down before an impulse purchase and paying attention to your values can help you make more supportive financial decisions.

• How our early experiences, relationships, comparison and the financial rules we've internalized may influence how we spend or save money without us realizing it.

• Why the numbers only tell part of the story and how understanding the emotions behind your financial choices can help you change your behavior with less shame and rigidity.
