If you want to eradicate insecurity, you've got to get a lock on what I call your profound significance.

My friend and relationship expert Dr. Les Perrett.

The happiest people on this planet are content. And so the comparison thing, you're just asking for trouble. You're playing with fire.

I was trying to fill a hole. I was about $40,000 in debt. Money's usually the symptom of other things, but you have to get to the root and the problem.

I always knew I needed to get it together. I just couldn't.

Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the Rachel Crucio podcast. I am so glad that you're here. I'm really excited about today's episode.

It's one that I've been wanting to do for a while now. And it's a great topic to dive into. And it's all about the motivation behind why we spend money. Now you may not be aware, but certain insecurities that we have can affect the way that we spend our money.

So in this episode, we're going to be talking about those insecurities in several areas of our lives. I'm going to be talking to my friend and relationship expert Dr. Les Perrett about insecurities people have in marriage.

I'll also interview someone who fell into the trap that so many of us do where she was spending thousands of dollars to impress other people.

And we'll talk about the number one insecurity for a lot of women out there. So let's dive in.

All right, listen, we all deal with this in a variety of ways. Some people buy houses. They can't afford to impress people. They don't even know.

We're going to shopping spree to buy clothes, make them feel good about themselves. There are so many different motivations behind our spending. And we just need to be aware of them. And we all struggle with insecurities. Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with us. It's actually very normal.

But normal can drain our bank accounts. For instance, I read an article in the New York Times last month. You guys. It was insane. And it's kind of an extreme example of all of this.

But it was a true story. There was a couple they went on their honeymoon. And they came back from their honeymoon and they almost got divorced because of it.

Because the entire time on the honeymoon, the woman in the relationship there was like freaking out about every sunset. And she had to get in the ocean. She had a pose.

It was like this whole vacation, this whole honeymoon full of nightmares for her husband. Her husband said it was one of the most miserable weeks of his life because he didn't feel like they had a honeymoon. He felt like they were chasing around sunsets to have pictures of something that was not even published in a magazine, but for her to post on Instagram.

Now again, kind of extreme, but there's a lot of people that post a lot of pictures on their honeymoon, which must ain't that terrible.

You guys get to the point so bad they got home and they almost got divorced. They said it was for a number of reasons. And it was like, yeah, because she's probably a little bit.

I don't know what I mean, but I mean, it's just was terrible. And then there was another couple they highlighted in the article who lived in London. And when their favorite places to go was like the countryside of England.
