Hi and welcome to the Deeper Than Money podcast. I am your host, Chloe Elise. I'm a millennial money

coach speaker, dog mom, and a seven on the enneagram, and I am on a mission to prove to you

and get in our own head and start to doubt ourselves. We want to decrease that

time as much as possible. So this is also going to be a good one, hopefully, that you can mark

down for later when you might have that moment. So let's dive in. I want you to imagine going to your favorite clothing store, going to your favorite clothing store
