raining, you just received a text from your sig-O
who is pissed at you for something inaccurately ridiculous (obvi you’re not in the wrong), and in this
flurry you’ve smudged your fresh manicure. Snaps
head to the left. LOOK! J Crew is having a 30% off
sale (which means everything is practically FREE)!
Insert racing heart palpitations and temporary
serotonin rush to the brain. You duck in from the
rain, and go to town – as in, $200 later, you feel
better! Wowza, woman! J Crew just pulled a Jude
Law (in his Sienna Miller days)-like seduction tactic on you!
But what about that evening you just planned with
the girls? That extra money you saved under your
grocery budget is now G-O-N-E (and then some).
All of a sudden your money “win” turns into a
slightly depressing money “fail”. Drops to knees,
cues dramatic music, “why me!” Shit happens and
we move on – but does it have to keep happening?
Can’t we figure ourselves out?
OUR EMOTIONS + FINANCES REFLECT HOW WE FEEL
Emotions can = money sabotage. And we all know
what that means – just like our “clean eating plan”,
a co-worker brings in some treats and one red velvet cream cheese frosted mini cupcake leads to half
a dozen (if we’re not consciously aware). Just like
eating our feelings (happy/sad/excited/whatever
have you), our spending patterns can screw things
up royally, even if we have civilized, non-harmful
intentions.
“
Understanding the
core of why money
hiccups happen is
everything.
Don’t beat yourself up. Many of the greatest
multi-income streamed, in our face personalities’
shit has hit the fan at some point in time! Not
necessarily in the finance department, but in human-esque flaw.

overwhelming. Now look who’s got her own show in
Vegas and is killing it on repeat. #sheslays
THE MINI-MELTDOWN TRANSITORY
HALL OF FAME
Garth Brooks: Do you remember when his alter
ego took over for a while? Alas, just TRY scoring
Garth tickets these days. One of the more rare
finds on this planet. Supply, demand, & control.
It’s financially legit.
Britney Spears: 2007. We get it. Life can be a little
Johnny Depp & Amber Heard: Bringing those dogs
in to Aus’ undocumented and then apologized for
their “actions” via this video. Pretty sure Johnny’s
agent hasn’t fired him and his contracts haven’t
dried up since that incident. Still winning.
Martha Stewart: So she made a little slip up in
stock price reporting? Whoops. But that didn’t stop
her. Her net worth has not been scathed; it’s received an encore.
