266: Negotiating With Your Inner Critic To Break The Debt Cycle

We all have an inner voice — and when it comes to money, that voice can often be our harshest critic. This episode explores how our inner monologue influences our financial choices, frequently trapping us in cycles of debt, shame, and avoidance. Join Cindy Watson as we explore how to transform that voice into an ally. Dr. Erika Rasure reframes our relationship with money through the lens of financial therapy, providing useful and effective tools to help us move from self-sabotage to self-support on the path to financial freedom.   Dr. Rasure, a former financial advisor and university professor turned financial therapist, brings a unique and deeply compassionate approach to money management. As Chief Financial Wellness Advisor at Beyond Finance, she meets weekly with hundreds of individuals actively working to break free from debt and reclaim their financial future. With experience guiding thousands toward more intentional, emotionally healthy financial choices, Dr. Rasure sheds light on how our inner dialogue can either sabotage or support our path to financial freedom — and how to start negotiating with that inner critic to make real, lasting change.   In this episode, you will discover:   What is financial therapy? How do you negotiate your mindset around debt. What are some of the most common mental health  challenges for those who are facing debt? How to find clarity around your finances. The difference between financial guilt and financial shame. What is loud budgeting? The difference in how people negotiate finances based on their age.   Learn more about Dr. Erika Rasure:   Website: /www.beyondfinance.com/newsroom LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikarasure/   If you're looking to up-level your negotiation skills, I have everything from online to group to my signature one-on-one mastermind & VIP experiences available to help you better leverage your innate power to get more of what you want and deserve in life.
