from Fewer Things Better · host Kristin Graham

We'd love to hear from you!In this episode, we unpack the hidden psychology of money and why finances often trigger stress, avoidance, guilt, or overthinking. We’ll explore what happens in the brain when money enters the conversation, why certain financial habits are so hard to change, and how patterns like over-giving or over-restricting can show up as a form of self-protection. If you’ve ever wondered why money feels emotional, this conversation will help you understand your wiring—and move forward with more clarity and confidence. Show Notes:                                                                                                                                                     If this conversation connected for you, you might also like:Episode 184 – Time Matters: Under New Management                                          Exploring how we price, protect, and respect our time and energy.  https://youtu.be/QlmjVQwMDbg Episode 74 – Value, Money, and Discomfort  On why money conversations feel charged and how discomfort can be informative.https://youtu.be/Sz35XU4HEqEEpisode 104 – The Power of Compounding How small, consistent investments(both financial and personal) build real returns over time.https://youtu.be/vuT2ZVF10Ns
