71: The Spending Shame Cycle

Have you ever felt ashamed over a past money decision you've made? Maybe you bought an item impulsively, you spent money you didn't have resulting in debt, or you bought an item you didn't get any use out of. If you've felt shame about your past spending choices you're not alone. Shame is a deep-rooted and prevalent emotion that keeps us trapped in secrecy and judgment and if not dealt with properly keeps us from reaching our full financial potential. In this episode of The Money Love Podcast we're talking about a concept I call the spending shame cycle that keeps us stuck financially and repeating practiced spending behaviors that don't serve us in the long run. We explore the areas of our finances where shame is most prevalent, the difference between shame and guilt, where shame comes from, the four phases of the spending shame cycle, why it's so difficult for us to break out of and the process we can go through to lessen the grip that shame has within our finances and over our life. If shame is an emotion you feel is prevalent within your relationship with money this episode is one that will be an absolute game-changer.
