Managing spending when your mental health is slipping

from The Broke Generation · host Emma Edwards

In this episode I share 6 tips on what to do when life is life-ing and all you want to do is avoid, sabotage, and spend all your money on things you know you don't need. I take you through a recent personal experience of feeling too overwhelmed to do the right thing for my finances and how I got myself out of that without shame or guilt. Highlights: Treating your emotions like they're a toddler having a tantrum Understanding the role of your sabotage behaviour Observing what your mind wants to do and why Using strategic permission to hold two truths at once and gradually shift your behaviour when you're ready.
