The Emotional and Financial Weirdness of Mid-August
Wednesday Aug 13, 2025
Wednesday Aug 13, 2025
Mid-August has a vibe, you guys — and it’s kind of a strange one. Summer’s not over, but it’s fading. The structure of fall is coming, but it’s not here yet. And in this weird in-between space, our energy, emotions, and money habits can get a little wonky.
In this episode, I’m unpacking why this time of year feels so emotionally heavy — and how that heaviness shows up in our spending. Whether you’re cramming in last-minute summer fun, stocking up for a super-organized fall, or just avoiding your bank account entirely, there’s often more going on beneath the surface than we realize.

How Digital Detoxing Can Help us Have a Healthier Relationship with Money
Wednesday Aug 06, 2025
Wednesday Aug 06, 2025
This week on the podcast, I’m digging into why it’s actually so hard to unplug – and how our constant connection to devices impacts not just our mental health, but our relationships with money too.
Topics I talk about:
-
Why “unplugging” is much harder than it seems, especially for parents and professionals juggling work and family
-
The effects of digital addiction on our nervous systems, mental health, finances, and relationships
-
How social media and online marketing create FOMO, encourage impulsive spending, and undermine willpower
-
The blurred lines between “on” and “off” in our work-from-home world—and why we rarely feel fully at rest

Wednesday Jul 16, 2025
This week on the pod, we talk about financial anxiety!

Why financial anxiety thrives on silence—and what to do about it
-
How loss aversion makes spending feel like failure, even when it’s planned
-
The double-edged sword of being “too prepared”
-
How to shift from scarcity to real resilience
-
And simple ways to start feeling more confident, calm, and in control of your money
