EP231: Why is money so uncomfortable? Psychology of finances with Dr. Brad Klontz
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Brad Klontz, a financial psychologist who unpacks the "money scripts" we’ve been programmed with and how they impact our finances. We get real about how to stop making dumb decisions with our money (looking at you, credit card debt) and start building wealth by reframing the way we think about it. Spoiler alert: Your crazy money habits make total sense once you understand them!
In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with financial psychologist Dr. Brad Klontz to break down why we keep making the same money mistakes and how we can flip the script (literally) to start building real wealth. We talk about those money habits passed down from our parents and grandparents, and how we can finally unhook ourselves from that financial baggage. Plus, Dr. Brad drops some truth bombs about the lies we believe on social media and how they’re keeping us broke.
