You’ve read the books, watched the videos, attended the talks — and yet, your money habits still feel stuck.
Why? In this powerful episode, host Kevin Neoh shared with listeners what really gets in the way of our financial progress — even when we “know better.”
Based on a live talk segment, this episode dives into the emotional, psychological, and neurological blocks that drive money decisions.

✅ The neuroscience behind our spending and saving habits
