#467 | What the Holidays Reveal About Your Relationship With Money
What if the way you spent money during the holidays revealed more about your nervous system than your budget?
In this episode, we break down why the holiday season brings stress, guilt, and pressure even when things look fine on the surface. We share what consistently shows up this time of year, how consumer culture hijacks your sense of safety, and why money often becomes the place where deeper emotional patterns surface. This is a grounded conversation about awareness, choice, and doing things differently moving forward. Let this episode be the moment you stop managing the aftermath and start changing the pattern.
