During our discussion, Michele and I share stories of purchasing fails and explore ways to be more thoughtful in our buying decisions. She insightfully points out that guilt happens when we know somewhere deep down our purchase is not worth it. When we align our spending with our values and focus on the goal of the purchase and our desired experience, the guilt goes away. Michele shares some of her strategies for finding that balance and how she’s learned to create guilt-free spending experiences.
