I Have PTSD. Here's What It Did To My Finances.

Nobody in finance talks about this. 

How trauma responses — freeze, flight, fight, fawn — show up in your financial decisions. And what they're actually costing you. 

In this episode I share something personal: I have PTSD from experiences in my teenage years. And for a long time I didn't connect that to my finances. 

Looking back — it was there in everything. 

This episode covers: 
— What a trauma response actually is (and why it's not what most people think) 
— How freeze, flight, fight and fawn show up specifically in financial behaviour 
— The fawn response — the one that costs women the most and gets talked about the least 
— Three practical financial steps to take alongside therapy 
— Why you cannot separate your nervous system from your bank account 

If you're working through difficult experiences, please reach out to a qualified therapist.
