161. Why You Keep Sabotaging Your Budget (and How to Finally Stop)

If you’ve ever made a budget but still find yourself overspending, you’re not broken—you’re human. In this Question of the Day episode, Laura unpacks why smart, capable people often sabotage their financial goals and what it really takes to build lasting change. Learn how your identity, emotions, and mindset shape your spending—and how to retrain your brain to work with your budget instead of against it.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why budgeting is logical but spending is emotional
• How self-sabotage points to an inner conflict (comfort vs. growth, fear vs. freedom)
• The 3 mindset traps that derail your budget—and how to overcome them
• How to align your budget with your values and create space for small “yeses”
• Why mindset work is money work—and how to start shifting yours today
