The Rational Reminder Podcast · Shannon Lee Simmons: How To Stop Feeling Broke | #415 · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

Well, if there is an emergency component to it, I would say the first part is that damage control, like let's make sure we're not making panic-based decisions or irrational decisions.

Sometimes when the carpet gets pulled out from underneath you, you can make decisions that are not logical.

And I have found that talking to people over 20 plus years, those who have deep financial regrets,

will say things like they got in the DeLorean, they go back in time and they're like, nope, I hate that decision.

I made it out of anger.

I was super mad.

I was super afraid or I was overwhelmed and I just did the first thing.

It's a decision that was made in a moment of crisis or in a moment of heated emotions and didn't work out.

And now they blame themselves for that.

That first phase is making sure that we're not making panic-based decisions if there's been an emergency.

The second phase, or maybe the first phase, if it's not an emergency, I would say is something I call the messy middle, which is just like, you're over it.

You don't want to be making decisions anymore, but you still have to.

Like a separation or a divorce is a really good example of this.

It just goes on.

There's so many decisions and you're just like, I'm over this.

I just want the outcome, but you have to stay the course.

And this is really when you need to figure out what are those deciding values that you're going to hang your hat on so that even if it doesn't work out, you're good.

What are those pivot points?

What are those guardrails?

Like this is when the financial planning nitty gritty happens.
