How Money Trauma Impacts Your Spending, Stress, and Kids (with a Trauma Therapist) | 98 Debt Rebel Show

What if your money struggles aren’t about discipline… but your nervous system?

In this powerful conversation, Jewlz sits down with licensed trauma therapist Jessica Hammock, founder of Vibrant Voice, to unpack how money trauma shows up in everyday life—at the grocery store, at the gas pump, and in the way we talk to our kids about money.

This episode is especially for parents who want to break generational money patterns without passing stress, shame, or scarcity down to their children.

• What money trauma actually is (and why it’s not just “big T” trauma)

• Why budgeting can trigger anxiety, avoidance, or panic—even when the money is there

• How childhood messages like “we can’t afford that” shape adult spending behavior

• The nervous system signs that money stress is running the show

• How to shift money conversations with your kids from lack to choice

• Practical ways to help your children feel cared for without overspending

• A simple, powerful process to release inherited money beliefs and rewrite your money story

Jessica also shares therapist-backed tools for:

• Identifying where your money beliefs came from

• Letting go of guilt, shame, and secrecy around finances

• Creating safety, permission, and confidence around money decisions

If you’ve ever felt your heart race while swiping your debit card—or worried that your financial stress might become your child’s burden—this episode will feel like someone finally turned the lights on.
