Why does having money sometimes feel more stressful than not having it? In this episode, we explore the fear, uncertainty, and pressure that can come with receiving a lump sum of cash or more than we once expected to have.From the anxiety of making the "right" investment to the deeper mindset challenges around wealth, we unpack why money feels like a burden and how to shift that perspective. This topic came from 2 people who recently said that they are ‘scared’ of money they are about to have. We’ll dive into personal stories, the psychology of financial confidence, and practical steps for managing money wisely.
