Mindset vs. Circumstance — Why Your Money Stress Isn’t Always About the Numbers, Talkin’ Money Unfiltered with Scarlett Stanhope
In this first Talkin’ Money Unfiltered episode, Scarlett Stanhope (aka The Biz Hippie) joins me for a no-script, no-rules conversation about a question we should all be asking: is your money stress really about your circumstances… or is it about your mindset?
We dig into the difference between what you can control and what you can’t, why reframing sacrifice as choice changes everything, and how to stop feeling like a victim of your bills, grocery prices, or rent. Along the way, we share real-life examples — from CSA memberships to Cheez-It snack hacks — that prove small decisions can shift your whole financial perspective.
You’ll hear:
- How to tell if your money struggles are mindset-driven or truly circumstantial
- The hidden power in recognizing your everyday financial choices
- Why “sacrifice” can be a mindset trap — and how to turn it into empowerment
- Real-world examples of finding flexibility without feeling deprived
