Description

Nearly half of Americans are trapped in credit card debt, but chances are it's not because they're lazy, irresponsible, or lacking knowledge. If you've downloaded every budgeting app, created detailed spreadsheets, and still can't seem to make progress, you're not alone. The real culprit might be what I call "chaos mode" – a state where your nervous system operates in constant financial survival.

The path out of chaos mode begins with awareness, not action. Before jumping into yet another budgeting attempt, take time to notice your emotional responses to money and regulate your nervous system. Learn to build safety with money before implementing systems, focus on small wins over dramatic restriction, and surround yourself with supportive community.

Ready to dig deeper? Join my free training in mid-May where we'll work on mindset, strategy, and creating the support system you need to transform your financial life. The link is in the show notes – because healing your relationship with money wasn't meant to be a solo journey.
