Emotional Spending, Mental Health, and Building Healthier Money Habits | Ep. 205
Emotional spending is rarely about money alone. In this episode of The New Money Habits Podcast, Coach Nino Villa and Maria Casillas explore the deep connection between emotional spending, mental health, and the habits that drive our financial decisions.
Using a real-life example from a Facebook group discussion about emotional eating and spending, Nino and Maria unpack the emotions, stressors, and societal pressures that often fuel unhealthy spending behaviors. They explain why simply “stopping the spending” rarely works and why understanding the emotional root behind financial choices is essential for lasting change.
This episode highlights the importance of emotional awareness, intentional spending, and having trusted people in your life who can offer support and honest perspective. If you’ve ever struggled with spending tied to stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, this conversation provides clarity, compassion, and practical guidance for building healthier money habits.
