Money isn’t just numbers in your bank account—it’s a mirror reflecting your deepest beliefs, fears, and unresolved wounds. In this powerful episode of The Anxiety Recovery Podcast, I sit down with finance coach Mark Harrison to uncover why money creates so much stress and shame—even for people who seem “okay” on paper.
We explore how childhood experiences and family dynamics silently shape your relationship with money, why scarcity thinking feels so hard to shake, and the myths that keep you stuck in anxiety and self-sabotage. Mark shares his own journey of confronting money trauma, plus the turning point that inspired him to help others break free.
You’ll learn:
How money anxiety shows up in everyday life (often in sneaky ways)
What it really means to be “good with money”
The patterns that keep people feeling unsafe financially
How money stress bleeds into relationships, health, and self-worth
Small, actionable steps you can take today to start feeling more empowered around money
If you’ve ever felt trapped in shame, fear, or scarcity thinking about your finances, this conversation will give you hope, insight, and tools to begin healing.
