Ep. 27 Shifting from Scarcity and Comparison during Christmastime

In this episode, we dive into the complexities of the scarcity mindset during the Christmas season, a period often marked by both joy and financial stress. We begin by defining scarcity and how it influences our state of mind and decision-making, especially during the holidays.

We go through some examples of how scarcity specifically manifests during the Holidays, illustrating the impact of this mindset on our Christmas experiences and expectations. Next, we explore the emotional and psychological effects of comparison during Christmas and the feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt that arise when we compare ourselves to others.

But there is hope :) We offer practical steps to combat the scarcity mindset: practicing gratitude, setting realistic expectations for the festive season, and planning with effective budgeting strategies. These practical steps can help alleviate the financial and emotional pressures of the festive season.

This episode is not just a discussion, but a journey towards understanding and managing the challenges of scarcity during one of the most important times of the year.
