Money & Career Mastery: From Overwhelm to Ownership
117. Math Doesn't Care About Our Feelings
Math doesn’t care about your feelings—and neither does your money.
In this episode, I share a real-life moment helping my daughter with third-grade math that sparked a powerful reminder: when it comes to numbers, there’s only one right answer. But with money? Emotions often cloud our judgment and sabotage our progress.
We dive deep into how emotions like guilt, fear, comparison, and entitlement can distort your financial decisions—and how to shift back into clarity and control. From lifestyle creep to overspending on your kids, from impulse purchases to avoiding your budget altogether, I walk you through how to take your feelings out of the equation and let the numbers tell the truth.
🎯 You’ll learn:
- Why your budget is a tool, not a morality test
- How emotional spending holds you back—and how to stop it
- The real cost of lifestyle creep and parental guilt
- Why making a lot of money doesn't mean you don’t need a budget
- How facing the truth about your money creates peace, confidence, and empowerment
If you want to raise money-smart kids, ditch the stress, and finally feel in control of your finances, this episode is for you.
