What is Financial Trauma? Managing Scarcity Mindset and Overspending

On the list of the things we're not supposed to talk about, money is at the top. But money plays a BIG role in our lives-- whether we have it or not-- so let's TOC about it.

When we grow up low-income and struggle with food and shelter insecurities, one of two things can happen for us when we grow up: overcompensating in our finances, or overspending. This is financial trauma. In today's episode, we talk about what it looks like day-to-day and how to help ourselves manage it.

Always cheering for you,
Deniss
