Being broke isn't a money problem. It's an identity problem.
In Episode 6 of Mid Hour Chat, Juanita Walker delivers the most controversial episode of Season 1 — and the most necessary one.
Because if money keeps showing up and disappearing the same way… that's not life. That's a pattern. And patterns can be fixed.
We talk about:
- Why being broke is a symptom not the problem
- How money chaos is really identity chaos in disguise
- Why you're reacting to money instead of leading it
- The Scarcity Trap and how it's dimming your decision making
- How to pick your purpose lane and start moving with direction
The lady bird doesn't sing until the garden is in order.
It's time to clean yours.
