Super relatable, I've never really known anyone else share such vulnerable, honest, open thoughts. Always a joy and privilege to have you do so with us. Thank you for doing so xx
Such a great piece Sarah. I can really relate to this. Especially the manic searching, the spending and then the disappointment... I've recently tried really hard to do a no spend on clothes, bags shoes etc because although they bring me Soooo much joy I actually don't need anything. I've also been trying to give my money a job so I don't just spend the lot in one go. 🙃 This is all at early stages.
This is THE WORK! I see you love, it's amazing. Do you feel better for not buying stuff? I have been buying Christmas presents and that feels GREAT because it feels like I'm doing something mindful with it?!
Thank you. I do feel so much better. There is so much I want to buy and that I feel I need but then I think about it and realise I either already have similar in my wardrobe 🙄 or It can wait. It's also shown me what is missing in my wardrobe. Yes I do need a black cardi but I definitely do not need the same cardi in 4 different colours! So it is working. Financially I'm seeing money in my account(not alot but it's a start) so I'm no longer taking from Peter to pay off Paul anymore. Well done my love on the Christmas shopping that's a great win! Have a fab week. 🩷

Billie! Thank you, I’ve been really nervous about sharing it so this means such a lot ❤️
I can imagine how nervous you must have felt ! As I also recognise that . But 🧡thats how you kill “shame”

What a wonderful story! 💖 So relatable.
Money is a tricky subject but we've got to get out into the light. We've got to talk about it. Come at it from all sides 💖
Thank you Catherine! This is just what I was hoping for, means such a lot x
