Have you been taught the logical, practical ways of "life" from your parents, especially regarding money, that just doesn't work for you? Do you find yourself trying to ignore the voice that never fails to appear in the back of your mind, when making a financial decision? The voice that you feel is so powerful, that whispers 'you can't afford it,' leading you to an automated process of self-doubt? You may feel like all you have ever known about the "right" path to money, isn't the right path for you. It just doesn't seem like your version of what is true, yet you suffer because it's supposed to get better, right? It's time to do what you need. In the words of one of this episode's lady bosses, (YES, DOUBLE the boss wisdom) "It's not selfish. It's a requirement for you to be the late worker and the ambitious bad ass woman that you were born to be." -Thais
