I've...

lived with anxiety and stress around money for so many years that that's why I said, no more.

I need to learn.

I need to interview these experts.

I need to learn how they dealt with the tactical, strategic side of money, of actually getting money, and then how to manage it emotionally, mentally, spiritually, psychologically.

How do we manage it so that it doesn't consume them, so it doesn't overwhelm their life, but it enriches their life?

And if that resonates with you, that, man, money, it's just overwhelmed me.

You know, it's something I think about all the time because I'm anxious around it.

I know the feeling.

It's not fun.

It's not a good way to live life.

It's taxing.

It's a burden, it feels like.

And it doesn't become fun.

We want to make money something that's fun, something that's light, not heavy.

And once you start healing those early wounds, you'll stop repeating them.

So a simple habit that you can implement right now is to identify your earliest memory around money.

That could be, oh, my parents got in a fight.

Oh, my mom said I couldn't go get this ice cream because we couldn't afford the money.

Oh, I remember my parents like digging through the couch cushions to look for change to buy things.
