Ep.84 Building Your Adult Tool Kit: The Money Episode

You move into your first place feeling pretty capable—and then you realize the rent is late, your account is overdrawn, or three automatic payments hit at once. Suddenly, instead of feeling like an adult who’s figuring things out, you’re thinking, “I should have known.”In the first episode of the Building Your Adult Support Kit series, we’re talking about money—but not in the way you might expect. This isn’t a lesson on how to make a budget. It’s about what happens in your brain when you make a money mistake, don’t understand something at the bank, or realize there’s an adult-life skill nobody ever taught you.Using the Life Coach School Model—Circumstances, Thoughts, Feelings, Actions, and Results—we’ll look at how the thought “I should have known” can leave you embarrassed, discouraged, and more likely to avoid the very things that would help you learn.Because being a capable adult doesn’t mean you already know how to do everything. It means you’re willing to ask questions, learn from your mistakes, create systems that support you, and add another tool to your kit.If you’ve ever felt like everyone else got the adulting instruction manual and somehow you missed it, this episode is for you.Here are the links I promised in the podcast.
