It’s All about Money, Honey - Part 1
Welcome and welcome BACK, it's Nereah and Karoline back after a breather – we totally ghosted you, but life got wild. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on something we all deal with: Money.
From the crazy demands of our non-stop lives to the guilt-ridden silence around money talk, it's time for a change. We're sharing our money journeys – from clueless credit card swipes to breaking free from spending traps.
As therapists, we've seen how money stress eats at mental well-being. Those food delivery binges? Often, they're emotional escapes. It's time to stop the cycle.
So, take a minute. Reflect on your money story, how it shapes your choices and emotions. And hey, ever wonder what money thinks of you?
Stay tuned for more real talk and insights. Remember, hustle's cool, but breaks are life too!
