Listen "Ep 14: INHERITANCE: Is Your "Blessing" A Burden?"
Episode Synopsis
Inheritance. It sounds like a blessing, right? But what if receiving a large sum of money actually brings up unexpected anxieties, guilt, or even a sense of paralysis? In this deeply insightful episode, Shabbar and Tim go beyond the numbers to explore the complex emotional landscape of inheritance and why "free money" can come with a surprising hidden cost. Drawing on real-life stories, they reveal how our ingrained beliefs about earning and deserving can make receiving a challenge, and how a profound loss can intertwine with financial decisions. Discover: Why some people unknowingly "ignore" significant inheritances—even when it's sitting in their bank account. The surprising link between compulsive spending and unspoken anxieties about wealth. How a desire to "honor" a loved one can inadvertently lead to paralysis around inherited money. The powerful truth about privilege and fairness that can reshape your relationship with money. This isn't just about large sums; it's about the universal human experience of receiving and the often-unconscious judgments we attach to it. If you've ever felt conflicted about a gift, struggled with feelings of guilt around your own financial situation, or wondered what true generosity (both giving and receiving) looks like, this conversation will offer profound new perspectives.
