TRUTH= avoidance of your own financial clarity is creating more stress (mental, emotional and physical) than the actual numbers themselves!? In this motivation coach conversation, Sam and Polly dive deep into why so many of us resist looking at our finances, both business and personal, and explain the surprising energy drain this avoidance creates in our lives and businesses.
Together we will explore the uncomfortable truth about financial denial—it's not just about missing a few receipts or delaying your bookkeeping. This pattern of avoidance creates a mental and emotional burden that affects your decision-making, relationships, and ability to seize opportunities. As we reveal, most people have inherited dysfunctional money habits from their families, carrying forward patterns of stress and avoidance that don't serve them.
The good news? Simple, consistent habits can transform your financial experience. We share practical systems for tracking expenses, automating payments, evaluating recurring costs, and creating regular check-ins that keep you empowered rather than overwhelmed. You'll hear real examples of how small changes—like spending 30 minutes on a weekly "money date" or using simple apps to track transactions—can prevent thousands of dollars in unnecessary spending and create newfound clarity.
Whether you're managing personal finances or running a complex business, this episode offers a refreshing perspective that moves beyond shame and toward empowerment. Financial clarity isn't about perfection—it's about progress, awareness, and building the muscle of knowledge rather than dwelling in the weakness of denial. What's the one financial habit you could implement today that would start shifting this critical area of your life?
