Episode Synopsis "8 “Bad” Financial Decisions I’ve Made (and Why I Don’t Regret Them)"

So much personal finance content today is based on shaming people into being “better” with money.And sometimes this works. At least to an extent. But bullying people isn’t an effective method to create long-term change. In order to improve our relationship with money and to make long-term, sustainable changes, we have to ditch the shame.One way to do that is by rewriting the stories we tell ourselves about our past financial mistakes. Something that I try to do is look at every mistake as a learning opportunity. Finding the lesson in a bad decision or situation gives it meaning and turns it into an opportunity for growth rather than just a setback.So today I want to share with you 8 “bad” financial decisions I’ve made, what I learned from each, and why I don’t regret them.My hope is that after hearing my experiences, maybe you can be a little more compassionate with yourself.
