You Don’t Really Trust Yourself With Money and It’s Not Your Fault
Thu Feb 05 2026
A lot of people think they don’t trust themselves with money because they lack discipline. Because they’ve made “bad” decisions. Because they need to try harder.
That’s not what’s actually happening.
In this episode, we’re talking about why financial self-trust breaks down and how to start rebuilding it in a way that’s realistic, supportive, and grounded in safety, not shame.
I’m unpacking:
Why trust with money can’t exist in chaos or unpredictability
How constantly reacting to money decisions erodes confidence over time
The difference between wanting to trust yourself and having systems that actually support it
What rebuilding financial trust looks like in real life
This conversation reflects the work I do with my clients inside Security First — helping them build financial security and predictability so they can make decisions with more confidence and less stress, and become work-optional.
If this resonates and you know you want one-on-one support rebuilding trust with your money, you can read all the details and submit your application here.
