I Was Avoiding My Finances… Until It Started Affecting My Peace

Money conversations can feel uncomfortable, but they are necessary.

In this episode of Surviving Me, we explore the connection between financial habits, emotional well-being, and self-care.

Many of us were never taught how to manage money growing up. Instead, we learn through mistakes, stress, and real-life responsibilities. In this episode, I share my personal journey of going from being extremely cheap to understanding what healthy money management actually looks like.

We talk about:

• The difference between being cheap and managing money well

• How financial stress affects mental health

• Simple ways to start managing your money

• Why budgeting and saving are forms of self-care

• How small financial habits can change your future

Because peace of mind doesn’t just come from emotional healing — sometimes it comes from knowing your responsibilities are handled and your future is protected.

If you’re trying to build better financial habits, budgeting discipline, or a healthier relationship with money, this episode is for you.
