Why does bad news feel so convincing while good news feels like a sales pitch?
If you've ever caught yourself doom-scrolling financial headlines and then second-guessing your entire plan, you're not alone.
In this episode, I explore why pessimism sounds smart, why optimism has been the better long-term bet, and how busy parents can filter out the noise without burying their heads in the sand. I share a story about a client who almost made a fear-driven decision and talk about my own battle with pessimistic thinking.
This week's action: notice where your financial anxiety is actually coming from. Is it your own analysis, or someone else's headline?
