I appreciate that the subtext here is that money is inherently emotional. Our life experiences shape our relationship with money, including our spending habits as well as how our nervous system reacts when we must confront our financial position.
For me, the relationship I have with money today is largely shaped by wanting to do the opposite of what I witnessed from my parents growing up. I was witness to mixed money messages, short-sighted decision making, and misaligned values. I decided I didn’t want that for myself and I transformed myself and my relationship with money to reflect consistency, calm, values-based planning, and strategy built on long term vision.

Yes, Ashley! The stress I witnessed in some role models around money has been a big motivator for me as well.
