Budgeting without real numbers is just expensive guesswork.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most common habits I see with high earners: fake math. That’s the guessing, rounding, and “I’ll figure it out later” mindset that keeps you stuck in financial stress, even with a six-figure income.

You’ll learn how fake math creates a false sense of security, why confronting it feels so vulnerable, and how facing your real numbers is the first step toward overcoming financial shame, finding clarity in your budget, and long-term financial freedom.

Are you ready to stop guessing and start understanding your numbers? It’s time to call out the fake math that is sabotaging your budget. Tune in to learn how to take back control of your bank account.

  • [02:08] Why it is scary to call out fake math

  • [04:04] Dealing with discomfort now to lay the groundwork to say yes in the future

  • [10:50] Inviting curiosity to combat the shame
