Are you "bad with money," or are you just exhausted?

If your brain feels like a browser with 100 tabs open, you are likely carrying a heavy mental load. While we often talk about mental load regarding chores or parenting, there is a Financial Mental Load, the invisible worry, planning, and remembering, that is silently sabotaging your bank account.

In this episode, we explore why burnout is not just an emotional issue; it is a financial one. We break down why smart, capable professionals struggle to stick to a budget and how decision fatigue leads to expensive impulse buys and "convenience costs."

In this episode, you will learn:

• The "Bandwidth Tax": Why having a full to-do list literally lowers your financial IQ and leads to poor money decisions.

• The "Ostrich Effect": Why we ignore our bank accounts when we are stressed and how to break the cycle of avoidance.

• Revenge Bedtime Procrastination: The psychology behind why we stay up late shopping online to regain a sense of control.

• The "Financial Uniform": How to reduce decision fatigue by standardizing your money choices.

• Systems Over Willpower: Tools to automate your finances so they work even when you are running on empty.

Stop beating yourself up for being tired. Tune in to learn how to lower your mental load and build a financial system that supports you, rather than drains you.
