I understand these subjects can be challenging, so if this is something that might be difficult for you, please feel free to take a break from this episode and return when you're ready. In today's episode, I speak with an anonymous guest, Tex, who shares his deeply personal journey of overcoming challenges and building a financially responsible life. Tex discusses constantly moving around in his childhood, coping with bullying as the always "new kid", and dealing with family trauma leading to his addiction. The turning point came when Tex, at age 29, sought help through a 12-step program. This episode explores how recovery and vulnerability transformed Tex's life, leading to healthier relationships, financial independence, and a strong sense of self-worth. This conversation shows that true financial success starts with inner emotional and psychological health. Episode Links: ChooseFI
