Money is rarely just about numbers. It is about stories, emotions, reactions, and often, avoidance.
Most people have at least one “blind spot” in how they think about and handle their money. Maybe it is driven by stress, or maybe it is tied to identity. The key is not judgment; it is awareness. When you see the pattern, you can change it.
The objective is to be curious and better understand what sits behind your money habits so you can handle money with conscious intent and more aligned with what matters to you.
Reflect on this for a moment:
• What types of spending feel most aligned with your values, and which feel least?
