S1 BONUS: The Ideal vs. Authentic Self: Reimagining Our Money Stories

That gut punch when you see someone else's financial success? This bonus episode unpacks what it's actually revealing. We explore the taboo around jealousy and shame, and what these emotions tell us about the gap between who we are and who we think we should be as business owners. Drawing on self-discrepancy theory, we examine the "shoulds" we carry, the systemic narratives we've internalised, and why financial success metrics are kept deliberately vague. We touch on neurodivergence, the hero's journey narrative, and what it means to question whether the ideal you're chasing was ever designed for someone like you. Beyond 'fix your mindset' advice - this is about reimagining the story entirely.
