January has a way of feeling heavier than we expect.
The decorations come down, routines return, and the credit card statements arrive.
If you’re feeling regret, anxiety, or that tight feeling in your chest when you open your banking app, this episode is for you.

We’ll unpack the emotional and mental load of holiday spending, especially the invisible labor women carry, and why shame has no place in your financial reset.
You’ll also walk away with three steady, practical money moves you can make this January to regain clarity and confidence - without punishment, restriction, or dramatic overhauls. This episode is a reminder that January isn’t here to punish you - it’s here to ground you. You get to decide what happens next.
