Ep. 32: Operating Out of Fear or Fantasy?

from The Financial Wellness Podcast · host 3rivers

Do you operate from fear or fantasy when thinking about your finances? Money can trigger more than numbers—it can activate fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. In this episode, we explore how those stress responses shape the way we spend, save, avoid, or overextend ourselves. From impulsive decisions to financial avoidance or people-pleasing, understanding your pattern is the first step toward building a plan rooted in clarity instead of emotion. If you’ve ever felt stuck, stressed, or overly optimistic about money, this conversation will help you move forward with confidence.
