173. What Is “Enough”? How Identity, Not Income, Stops Overspending and Creates Financial Peace
Description
Have you ever found yourself spending—not because you needed something, but because you were trying to feel something? In this episode, we redefine what “enough” really means and why it has nothing to do with a dollar amount. If you’re smart, capable, and earning good money but still feel financial pressure, this conversation will bring clarity, calm, and a new way forward.
We unpack why overspending is often driven by emotional stretch and identity drift—not math—and how lasting financial peace comes from alignment, not more discipline. This is an invitation to lead your money with intention, grounded identity, and legacy-level clarity.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why overspending is often emotional avoidance—not a budgeting failure
- How identity drives financial behavior (and why discipline alone leads to burnout)
- What “enough” actually looks like when money is aligned with your values
- The difference between acting as a consumer versus leading as a steward
- Simple, practical ways to set holiday spending boundaries without guilt or shame
You don’t need more willpower—and you don’t need more stuff. You need clarity. Define what “enough” means for you, lead with intention, and build a system that supports peace today and legacy tomorrow.
