In this episode, I dive deep into why I've decided to embrace my 'villain era' - a phase of unapologetically prioritizing myself, setting boundaries and rejecting the need to please everyone around me. It's not about being the bad guy; it's about reclaiming my time, energy, and peace. If you've ever felt guilty for choosing yourself or struggled with the labels others put on you when you change, this one's for you. Let's talk about what it truly means to be the hero of your own story -even if that makes you the 'villain' in someone else's.

**Girl Meets Therapy: Financial Rehabilitation - Real Talk on Transforming Your Money Mindset**

Hey, everyone! Welcome to the **Girl Meets Therapy** podcast! I’m Mariah, your host, here to share insights and stories as we work on personal growth. This episode dives into something we all know and love (or hate) – *finances*. From personal stories to hard-won lessons, I’m breaking down the importance of shifting our relationship with money and developing habits that lead to true financial freedom.

Today, we’re unpacking financial rehab, touching on overconsumption, the pressures of “keeping up,” and the journey from scarcity to abundance. I’m sharing everything from moments of $17 overdrafts to building my way up as a homeowner, entrepreneur, and savvy saver. You'll get raw advice on managing finances, learning to say "no" to those impulsive buys, and becoming intentional about your financial future.

So, if you’re ready for some honest (and maybe a bit painful) truths about money habits, come join me. Let’s work through it, build, and transform together. And, remember, I’m not a therapist – just your friend who’s been there and made it out. Thanks for listening, and don’t forget to subscribe, follow on Instagram and TikTok for behind-the-scenes, and leave a comment to let me know what resonated with you. Here’s to growth and resilience!
