The Episode Everyone's Been Waiting For Is Live Now!

You budget perfectly. You know what to do. But you keep making the same financial mistakes. Sound familiar?

Here's the brutal truth: Your childhood money memories are still running your adult financial life.

What You'll Discover in This Game-Changing Episode

Our latest guest, neuroscientist Tessa Santarpia, drops truth bombs about why your brain works against your wallet. She uses actual brain scans to prove what's happening inside your head during money decisions.

The shocking revelation?

"The brain is very wired for short-term survival, not that long-term success. So it'll prioritize those immediate rewards, that comfort, safety over the delayed gratification."

Why "Remove Emotions" From Money Is Complete BS

Financial experts tell you to eliminate emotions from money choices. Tessa destroys this myth:

"We are wired emotionally and escaping that is actually just undermining our ability to use emotion in a very wise and advantageous way."

You can't remove what's hardwired into your survival system. But you can rewire it.

The 8-Week Brain Reset That Changes Everything

Here's the best news: Your brain can change at any age.

"Eight weeks is normally enough to build and strengthen those neural habits. We've seen incredible results, changes in anxiety and emotional regulation and focus, belief patterns about oneself."

Tessa reveals the exact protocol she uses with clients. No fluff. Just science-backed tools that create measurable results.

Simple Tools You Can Start Using Today

Catch and Replace: When you think "I'm bad with money," immediately replace it with "I'm learning to build my wealth capacity."

"When I first started out reprogramming a lot of these beliefs, I would catch myself up to a hundred times a day," Tessa admits.

Breathwork for Money Stress: Simple breathing exercises calm your nervous system instantly. Your brain literally shows different patterns on scans.

Why This Episode Will Change Your Life

Most financial advice treats symptoms. This episode attacks the root cause stored in your nervous system.

"Your nervous system will determine your wealth capacity. If your body is stuck in survival mode, no amount of talking or thinking is going to override those subconscious signals."

🎧 Listen Now Before Your Brain Talks You Out of It

Your survival brain doesn't want you to change. It wants you to stay safe and small.

Don't let it win.

Remember: "You are never too far gone to be able to train the mind."
