If You Shop When You're Stressed, Watch This

If You Shop When You're Stressed, Watch This

You had a terrible day. You're exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed. So you open your phone and start shopping.
Not because you need anything. But because buying something makes you feel better. For a few minutes.
In this video, we explore the habit of stress spending — why people use shopping as emotional relief, how small purchases add up without you noticing, and what happens when you create alternative ways to manage stress that don't cost money.
This isn't about never treating yourself. It's about recognizing when the urge to buy something is actually just an urge to feel different, and giving yourself other tools that actually address the stress instead of covering it.
What you'll learn:

Why shopping gives you temporary relief but creates long-term problems
How stress spending creates a cycle that feeds itself
The emotional triggers that make you reach for your wallet
Three free alternatives you can use this week instead of shopping

You deserve to feel better. But you don't have to buy your way there.
