Episode 65: The Fear of Spending and Losing Money

With a fear of money, it becomes impossible for us to think creatively and make decisions. The more scared we are of spending money, the more difficult it becomes to be rational about our spending. Most of us have no problem saving up money to achieve our goals, but we often become afraid of spending that money. 

In today’s podcast I do a live class explaining why we feel unsafe when spending money and why spending money is important and how our money traumas have shaped our beliefs around money. When we feel safer spending, we're more anchored, less likely to feel scared, and make our finances worse. This is why it’s important to heal from past money traumas that have been holding us back. 

Join the conversation with me, your host Vangile Makwakwa, as I share more about the fear of spending and losing money to provide you with tools to create a path to your financial freedom by taking all your fears off the table.
