Summary

Ever bought something thinking it would make you feel better, only to realize it didn’t change a thing? Yep, been there! I recently had an eye-opening experience with a swimsuit purchase that made me reflect on why we buy things we don't need. Spoiler: It's not just for the dopamine hit!

In this episode, we chat about:

Why we often buy out of emotions and not logic
My personal story of emotional buying and what it taught me
Fun, confidence-boosting activities that don’t involve shopping
Getting the support you need to make lasting changes

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand your buying habits better and have some practical tips to keep emotional buying in check. Let’s get real and tackle this together!
