Financial Sobriety School with Linda Parmar Linda Parmar

Spending in sobriety. 
Getting sober from your drug of choice is a HUGE milestone in life. 
Sobriety is the biggest gift. Financial Sobriety is an even bigger gift. 
It is important to balance out our spending when we are working on our Financial Sobriety. 
This episode is probably not what you think. This episode talks about how important it is to spend our money in sobriety, with boundaries and a spending plan of course. 
If we restrict ourselves to feel like we can't spend anything it will lead to a shopping spree.
Cue the shopaholic! 
Learn to enjoy your Financial Sobriety in this weeks lesson. 

This lesson felt hard to record and it may feel very uncomfortable to listen to.  
It is also a lesson that is really important to understand. 
Financial Infidelity is the topic of this week's lesson. 
Overall financial infidelity is explained as when one partner in a relationship hides financial actions, assets, or debts from the other. It can also happen when you are hiding these from yourself. 
This topic is something that happens often but it is not something we typically talk about because it is uncomfortable and brings up a lot of different emotions. 
In this episode Linda helps you understand what it is and most importantly what to do if it is something that you have experienced or are experiencing. 
Be gentle with yourself as you listen to this week's lesson. 

It is extremely common not to be taught about money as a child. 
What were you taught about money as a child? What weren't you taught about money as a child?
This is something I hear daily from people and it is often met with a lot of anger and resentment. 
Our society as a whole has not been taught a lot about money and in this lesson Linda breaks down how that now can affect you with your relationship with money and your overall financial sobriety. 
Sometimes making peace with our past of what we were and weren't taught about money can help support us to break free and start changing our money story. 

The amount we are spending in grocery store and eating in general is at an all time high.
