<p>What if our relationship with money isn’t about discipline, intelligence, or willpower at all — but about survival, safety, and belonging?
</p><p>In this opening episode, we explore money trauma: the often invisible ways financial behaviors are shaped by fear, shame, scarcity, and inherited beliefs.
