Guilt says you made a mistake. Shame says you ARE the mistake. And most people can’t tell the difference, so they stay stuck.
This is the first ever NoBS Wealth® Roundtable, and we did not ease into it. I sat down with two financial therapists, a nervous system expert, and a marketer who’s lived all of it to talk about the three things quietly running your money behind the scenes: shame, the freeze, and first gen wealth guilt. No scripts. No fluff version of these people. Just the real conversation.
Watch, then go take your step forward.
Hosted by @stoyhall, CFP®, founder of Black Mammoth and host of the
NoBS Wealth podcast.
