info_outlineDo you ever feel like you can’t trust yourself with money—or even with the promises you make to yourself? You’re not alone.
In this episode of the Overcoming Overspending Podcast, I sit down with self-trust expert Emily Romero, creator of the Self-Trust Model and author of You Can Trust Yourself. Together, we unpack why self-trust is the foundation of real change—and how rebuilding it can completely transform your relationship with money, spending, and yourself.
Emily shares her powerful Self-Trust Compass, a four-part framework that helps you:
-
Get radically honest about where you are (and where you want to go)
-
Learn to keep (and break) the right promises with integrity
-
Regulate your nervous system so you can tell the difference between anxiety and intuition
-
Truly know yourself so you stop outsourcing decisions—and start trusting your own wisdom
If overspending has left you second-guessing yourself, stuck in shame, or feeling like you’ll never follow through, this conversation will show you why the path back to financial peace starts with self-trust.
Because when you trust yourself—you can handle anything life (or your bank account) throws at you. 💕
