7: The Emotions of Earning

About this episode

This episode explores the emotional aspects of earning and how our relationship with money affects our earning potential.

Money is often treated as a math problem — but in reality, earning is deeply emotional. Our beliefs about money, security, and opportunity are shaped by upbringing, culture, stress responses, and past experiences. These emotional patterns influence how we negotiate, take risks, trust opportunities, and plan for the future. In this episode of A Better Way of Earning, Dr. Michelle explores the neuroscience and psychology behind money decisions. Drawing from behavioral economics, neuroscience research, and global financial studies, this conversation helps listeners understand how their relationship with money impacts their earning potential. Understanding money isn’t just about numbers. It’s about better understanding ourselves.
