Why Is Everything Else Worth the Money… Except You?
Released On Oct 20, 2026
Season 3, Episode 29
Why do I feel guilty spending money on myself, investing in myself, or prioritizing my own needs when I have no problem spending money on everyone else? If you struggle with self-worth, putting yourself last, or feeling like spending time or money on yourself is selfish, this episode of Holistic Mama Speaks is for you.
We spend money every day on things that are temporary, necessary, convenient, or enjoyable. But when an opportunity comes along to invest in our own health, happiness, confidence, personal growth, education, or future, suddenly we question whether it’s “worth it.”
In this episode, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores what your spending habits may reveal about the value you place on yourself and why this pattern isn’t only about money. It can show up in your time, energy, boundaries, self-care, and willingness to prioritize yourself, too.
You’ll also get a simple challenge to look at the last 30 days and ask one revealing question:
If someone looked only at how I spent my time and money, would they know that I matter to me?
