In this deeply personal solo episode from Porto, Portugal, I share a revelation that hit me harder than I expected: my lifelong obsession with money. Not the amount of money — but the constant mental tallying, the fear, the scarcity mindset, the spinning thoughts that never seem to stop.

Being
alone in a foreign country with no distractions made something painfully clear:
I’ve replaced one obsession (alcohol) with another (money). And for the first
time, I could see the trauma behind it — childhood fear, family patterns,
shame, control, and the belief that I’m never truly safe.

I talk about:

·      The moment in Fatima when I begged the Blessed
Mother to take this obsession from me

·      How money fear mirrors the compulsive thinking
of addiction

·      Why being alone made the truth impossible to
ignore

·      The stories we carry from childhood that shape
our adult anxiety

·      How prayer, writing, and the 12‑step tools are
helping me face this

·      Why identifying the obsession is the first step
toward healing it

If you’ve ever worried about money to the point of exhaustion — no matter how much or how little you have — this episode is for you. You are not alone. We can
walk through this together, one day at a time.
