Haven't checked your bank balance in weeks (or months)? Feel that little flutter of anxiety every time you think about logging in? You're not broken, and you're not alone. In this episode, I'm diving into why we avoid our money - and more importantly, how to move from avoidance to awareness without shame or overwhelm. This is about the emotional side of money that nobody talks about but everyone struggles with.

You'll learn:

• Why money avoidance is actually a form of self-protection (not weakness)
• What financial avoidance is really costing you beyond just late fees
• The "just look" method that breaks the avoidance cycle
• How to move from shame to curiosity with your money
• Why checking daily actually reduces anxiety instead of increasing it
• The simple first step you can take this week (no action required, just awareness)

"I can't afford to get help with my money."

I hear this all the time, and I'm not going to try to convince you that you're wrong. Instead, let's have a real conversation about this decision - because sometimes "I can't afford it" is absolutely true, and sometimes it's the excuse that keeps you stuck.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• When you genuinely can't afford help (and why that's okay)
• What "I can't afford it" is actually code for (hint: it's often not about money)
• How to evaluate whether investing in money support makes sense for YOUR specific situation
• When staying stuck costs more than getting help

Plus, the real question isn't "can I afford this?" - it's "is this the right investment for me right now, given where I am and where I want to go?"

Ready to figure out your answer? Book a strategy call to talk about whether Moneywise is right for you. We start October 20th, and I have 3 spots left.

This isn't about convincing you to spend money you don't have. It's about helping you make the right decision for where you are and where you want to go.
