9. Why Money Anxiety Holds You Back (and How to Take Control) - with Pamela Capalad CFP® AFC®

Why do we feel shame when talking about money? In this powerful episode of Break the Norm, we dive deep into the emotional side of money, community, and self-worth — and how breaking the silence around finances can heal not just our wallets, but our sense of belonging. As two women of color on our empowerment journey, we sit down with Pamela Capalad, CFP® AFC® from Get Shameless to explore the mindset shifts needed to move from money anxiety and isolation to confidence, clarity, and connection. From the loneliness of comparing wealth to rediscovering joy in our “wants,” this conversation will transform the way you see your relationship with money and values. In this episode, we unpack: How money shame and silence disconnect us from community The paradox of feeling “too broke” or “too wealthy” to belong The truth about wants vs. needs — and how desire can be an act of healing The four types of wealth: financial, social, time, and embodied Why our values, not our bank balances, define real success How to build a healthier money mindset and find empowerment through awareness If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more — freedom, joy, abundance — this episode is for you.Join us as we reclaim the right to talk about money, heal our financial trauma, and redefine what wealth really means.
