Description

In today's quick but honest episode, I’m I'm about back to school season - and all the pressures that come with it, especially to keep up. In this episode, I'll be unpacking:




  • Why this season can push us toward spending for appearances




  • How to spot the difference between performative and value-aligned spending




  • A simple question to ask yourself before swiping your card




If you’ve ever felt “less than” scrolling through everyone else’s highlight reels — this is your reminder: you don’t need to prove anything. You are already enough. 💛
