Episode Synopsis

"I need to feel a connection to the car, Dad." "But... it doesn't have Bluetooth." Shabbar's staring at specs, mileage, service history. His daughter's waiting for a car to "speak to her." He thinks she's being ridiculous. She thinks he's missing the point entirely. Turns out? They're both right. And both wrong! The questions we address in this episode: Are you making decisions with your head, your heart, or your gut? And what are you missing by ignoring the other two? In this essential episode, we expose the two opposing forces that secretly drive all your spending—from buying socks to purchasing a house—the rational (Thinking) approach and the deeply intuitive (Feeling) approach. We use real-life stories to show that relying on only one side of your intelligence is a recipe for financial dissatisfaction. Why does the "best deal" often lead to the worst experience? Tune in to discover:  Your spending blindspot: Are you shutting down your gut intuition in favour of endless spreadsheets? The problem with perfection: Why the pursuit of the "optimal" purchase is making you miserable and anxious. The dangerous assumption that only measurable things matter - but how the energy you bring to a decision might actually affect the outcome. Tune in to today's episode to learn how to stop making unbalanced money choices, and access your "whole intelligence" to spend with confidence, peace, and real fulfilment.
