Money conversations can feel uncomfortable, but they are necessary.

In this episode of Surviving Me, we explore the connection between financial habits, emotional well-being, and self-care.

Many of us were never taught how to manage money growing up. Instead, we learn through mistakes, stress, and real-life responsibilities. In this episode, I share my personal journey of going from being extremely cheap to understanding what healthy money management actually looks like.

We talk about:

• The difference between being cheap and managing money well

• How financial stress affects mental health

• Simple ways to start managing your money

• Why budgeting and saving are forms of self-care

• How small financial habits can change your future

Because peace of mind doesn’t just come from emotional healing — sometimes it comes from knowing your responsibilities are handled and your future is protected.

If you’re trying to build better financial habits, budgeting discipline, or a healthier relationship with money, this episode is for you.
