When Everything Feels Urgent, Choose Steady
Wed Feb 04 2026
In today's episode, I talk about why money can feel so urgent when the world feels uncertain—and why that urgency is often anxiety, not clarity. I share what I’ve seen after nearly 20 years of working with people around money: most financial mistakes don’t come from waiting, they come from acting while overwhelmed or trying to feel in control.
We talk through what you don’t need to decide right now, why pausing big financial decisions is often the more responsible move, and how choosing steadiness can reduce anxiety and lead to better long-term outcomes.
This episode is for anyone feeling pressure to have everything figured out. You don’t need a perfect plan right now—you need a steady enough one.
