Drawing from research on scarcity mindset and cognitive load, Jo explains how money worries change how our brains function, affecting our clinical decision-making abilities. She offers practical strategies using her sleep, support, mindset, and movement framework, including the importance of regular financial check-ins and creating "financial worry windows" to manage anxiety.
