When We're Spending to Avoid Our Emotions

Overspending isn’t a budgeting problem—it’s an emotional one. In this episode of This Life of Ours, Coach Emily B explores how spending can become a way to avoid discomfort, people-please, or prove our worth. Like overworking or scrolling, overspending offers temporary relief followed by stress and shame. This conversation invites you to slow down, get curious, and ask what you’re really hoping a purchase will give you. Spending is loud. Feelings are quiet. Listening changes everything.
