About this listen

Ever found yourself standing in a store at midnight, clutching a pair of half-priced socks and wondering “What am I even doing?”
Yeah… same.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my old Black Friday obsession—racing out after Thanksgiving dinner, waking up at 4 a.m., and chasing deals that weren’t actually saving me anything. I share how those “can’t-miss” sales were fueling overspending, draining our budget, and keeping us stuck in consumer habits that didn’t align with our long-term goals.

You’ll hear:

  • The moment I realized Black Friday was costing me more than it saved

  • Why “crazy deals” trigger emotional spending

  • How I shifted from impulsive shopping to intentional spending

  • Simple steps to avoid holiday budget traps and stay in control this season

If you’ve ever justified a purchase because it was “such a good deal,” this episode is your sign to pause, breathe, and rethink what actually serves your family and financial goals.
