Breaking Free from the Obligation Trap: 4 Steps to Reclaim Your Time, Energy, and Money

Are you living your life on other people’s terms? 

In this episode, we unpack the obligation trap — the endless cycle of weddings, work happy hours, family gatherings, and social “shoulds” that drain your money, your energy, and your joy. 

You’ll hear why so many of us say yes when we want to say no, what it’s actually costing us financially and emotionally, and how obligation-driven living keeps us disconnected from what really matters.

You’ll walk away with:

 A clear understanding of how obligations hijack your time, money, and energy

 The hidden opportunity cost of living by “shoulds” instead of values

 The cultural, social, and psychological roots of people-pleasing

 Real-life examples that show how obligation fatigue shows up in everyday life

You'll walk away with:

 The three levels of living: Worldly, Honorable, and Valiant—and how to close the gap between them

 Why many financially “successful” people still feel unfulfilled

 A breakdown of the Prosperity Quadrant: poor, middle class, rich, and abundant

From Survival to Significance: How to Unlock Purpose-Driven Prosperity with Brandon Broadwater

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

Mindset vs. Circumstance — Why Your Money Stress Isn’t Always About the Numbers, Talkin’ Money Unfiltered with Scarlett Stanhope

Every generation loves to complain about the next one—lazy, entitled, wasting money on gadgets and brunch. But here’s the truth: young adults today aren’t just making different choices—they’re playing a completely different financial game.

In 1970, over half of 30-year-olds in America were married and owned a home. Today? Less than 15%. And it’s not because everyone suddenly decided marriage and mortgages were overrated. It’s the fallout from decades of policy decisions, wage stagnation, and skyrocketing costs that have made the old “American Dream” a whole lot harder to reach.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the real reasons why hitting financial milestones looks different now, and why “just work harder” is the worst advice you can give someone trying to buy a home in today’s economy.

You’ll hear:

The shocking drop in homeownership rates for 30-year-olds since the 1970s

How wages, housing prices, and student debt have completely shifted the financial landscape

Why avocado toast is not the problem (and what actually is)

How generational misunderstanding keeps us from creating solutions that work

Practical ways both older and younger generations can bridge the gap

It’s time to stop blaming brunch and start looking at the real math.

"Kids These Days" Aren’t Broke Because of Avocado Toast: The Real Story Behind Generational Money Gaps

We often applaud people who save aggressively, track every penny, and avoid debt at all costs. But what if those habits are actually symptoms of something deeper—something that’s quietly holding them back?

In this third episode of our Money Dysmorphia series, I’m joined by Ashley Franklin, Vice President of Branch Operations at SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, who breaks down the hidden emotional roots of financial behaviors that look healthy on the outside but may be quietly sabotaging our well-being.

From over-saving and chronic budgeting to the fear of investing and the myth of “having enough,” this conversation is a powerful reality check. We talk about growing up with layaway, modern-day buy-now-pay-later traps, and the impact of comparison culture on our financial choices—especially for Millennials and Gen Z navigating money in an always-on, influencer-saturated world.

You’ll walk away with:

A new understanding of how over-saving can create financial stress instead of security

Why budgeting to the extreme can backfire—and how to build in breathing room

The emotional roadblocks behind fear of investing

How income ≠ wealth, and why self-worth often gets tangled in both

The power of creating a “Board of Directors” for your life—and how to pick the right financial confidantes

Why separating fact from feeling is the real key to healing money dysmorphia

This one’s for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Am I being smart with my money… or just scared?” Let’s unpack it together.

Is Over-Saving Hurting You? How Money Dysmorphia Hides in Habits That Look ‘Responsible’

We don’t just have money problems—we have money perception problems.

In Part 2 of our three-part Money Dysmorphia series with Backbone, I’m joined by Melissa Burleson, a certified financial counselor at Tarrant County’s Credit Union, who brings nearly 20 years of wisdom, service, and heart to this conversation. 

Melissa knows firsthand how money dysmorphia—our distorted view of our financial reality—can sabotage even the smartest budgeter or most determined saver.

We talk about how money dysmorphia can swing both ways—from feeling constantly behind despite doing all the right things, to overspending and living beyond your means to project financial success. And Melissa shares powerful personal stories, real-life coaching moments, and practical tools to start shifting from emotional chaos to financial clarity.

You’ll walk away with:

A deeper understanding of the emotional triggers behind overspending and avoidance

How generational money beliefs and social media comparison fuel money dysmorphia

Why many people tie their self-worth to a credit score—and how to break that cycle

How to recognize when emotional thinking is clouding financial decisions

What it takes to move from “I’m bad with money” to “I trust myself with money”

It’s Not Just the Budget: The Emotional Math Behind Money Dysmorphia

Do you feel broke, even when your finances say otherwise? Or maybe you’ve been spending like you’ve already “made it”—but your bank account hasn’t caught up? That distorted perception has a name: money dysmorphia.

In this first episode of our special three-part series, I’ve partnered with Backbone, a national coalition of credit unions, to explore how emotional and psychological misperceptions around money are impacting millions of Americans—especially Millennials and Gen Z. 

Our guest is Nicole Andrushko, VP of Marketing at Westerra Credit Union, who’s on the frontlines of financial storytelling and education.

Nicole unpacks how social media, comparison culture, and pressure to hit traditional milestones are warping our self-perception—and how credit unions are stepping in to help people see the truth of their financial health and take confident steps forward.

You’ll walk away with:

 
A clear understanding of what money dysmorphia is and how to spot it in yourself or others

 
The real reason high-achieving, financially stable people still feel “behind”

 
How credit unions are uniquely equipped to help people shift their mindset

 
Simple, habit-based ways to start repairing your relationship with money

 
Why emotional support is just as critical as financial tools in combating distorted financial thinking

The Messy Middle: Money, Hormones & the Real Cost of Midlife with Shannah Game (Part 1)

This Ask Shannah episode was inspired by a question from Bri: "Thank you for being the FIRST person to support me through my financial journey as an adult. I’m currently healing from many different emotions surrounding money. My question for you is about credit cards with perks. I got a few cards totaling 4,000 that I’m paying down, but I didn’t realize I was doing a disservice to myself by not utilizing cards with perks (travel, rewards). Should I be moving toward paying off and closing 2/3 of those cards or pay off/down and try to add those smarter cards to my life?"
