The panic you feel when checking your bank balance? The cycle of overspending or over-saving? It's not just about numbers—it's about the deep, unconscious money scripts running your life.

Dr. Shefali Tsabary, the clinical psychologist, New York Times best-selling author, and revolutionary thinker famously endorsed by Oprah joins The Pay Off to talk about our approach to money. 

Dr. Shefali shares how the ego dictates our decisions around debt, spending, and saving, how to conquer the paralysis of financial fear and how the emotional legacies of our childhoods shape our bank accounts today.
