Understanding Your Money Triggers and Emotional Spending | Ep. 144

In this episode of The New Money Habits Podcast, Nino Villa is joined by Maria Casillas to explore the connection between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and money management. Together, they discuss how subconscious money scripts, activating events, and emotional triggers influence how we think, feel, and behave with money — often without us realizing it. This conversation focuses on becoming more aware of the psychological patterns that shape financial habits, rather than reacting automatically to stress, fear, or past experiences. In this episode, you’ll learn: How subconscious money scripts are formed What “activating events” and triggers look like in real life Why awareness is the first step toward healthier financial behavior How CBT concepts can help you respond to money situations more intentionally Money challenges are rarely just about math. They’re deeply connected to our thoughts, emotions, and past experiences. This episode offers a grounded, practical look at how understanding your internal money patterns can lead to calmer, more intentional financial decisions.
