I hope it doesn't drive you as crazy as it drives me that I made a typo for the word "cynicism" at 5:16 🫠 Anyway, hope you're all having a good start of the week!

Wealth is just like the Super Soldier serum from Captain America "The serum amplifies everything that is inside, so good becomes great; bad becomes worse."

I personally never liked Rich Dad Poor Dad based on how it was pushed as an effort to create status anxiety within the MLM circles.

Thank you for defending people who use their connections. There's so much bitterness toward people who are doing well who had help from parents or from famous family members. It's very much a turnoff when people have that level of unexamined envy.

Important lessons for everybody who didnt grew up around healthy money mindset.

I really like how you articulate your thoughts. It's giving me a lot of ideas about how to talk about my own opinions in the future. I've had conflicts with previous partners because of different money mindsets and how we see the world. I agree that it's really based off of your personal life experiences. I have, however seen a lot of self sabotaging mindsets in people who grow up with less money. It's a difficult thing to combat, because they're not "wrong." However, if you're still early in your career/life and you've already told yourself that you're never going to retire, then that's a good way to ensure that you definitely won't. I don't understand this mindset. I'd rather at least try, despite all of the hurtles in today's world.

I do think people generalise excessively and thinking money is inherently evil has harmed friends of mine in their attitude to their own lives. However, i do think a little bit of guilting rich ppl into donating to charities instead of buying yachts, and heavy taxation above a certain high income, is necessary for our societies to progress and become more harmonious and happier.

Thank you for articulating the way we are harmed by internalizing the "rich=evil" attitude! Hearing that so much in early adulthood, as one becomes politically aware and active, i really felt conflicted or ashamed every time i started to get my life on track - not because i personally thought ill of wealthy people, but because i feared i would be selfish and evil and blamable if i did anything more than scrape by. I've continued never aiming for more than entry-level unskilled jobs and periodically blowing everything and starting from scratch. It also kept me from admitting i wanted anything, contributing to occasional spirals of anhedonia and depression. Now that i'm finally in a serious relationship and we're looking at building a future, i'm suddenly realizing how i've hamstrung myself out of fear of getting what i think i don't deserve and being hated for it.

Ahh the magic word, "I have faith". I am going to switch my mindset to saying this from now own! Thank you for your video. I found it really helpful! 🙏😊

I just wrote a financial literacy course for my brother on this! It’s a huge issue within ADHD, and I think this should be a huge portion of financial literacy courses popping in high schools around the US.

I really like the part about the referral list, haven’t thought about that before! I love how helping people also helps you out

Your video left me stunned and introspective, helping me identify the obstacles that have been holding me back. I've come to realize that I've become someone who often takes without giving partly due to my low self esteem, which makes me feel unworthy of success and wealth. As a result, I frequently do things without charging and even feel guilty when I consider monetize them. Thank you so much for this video.

Yesss I’m so glad you posted this!! I’ve been interested in this for a while and I love watching you. Needed this psych breakdown 👏👏

19:00 describes 90% of employers in the USA. We are mostly expendable since we are priviledged to work for them.

'The Psychology of Money' by Morgan Housel has been a great book for me!

For charity I HIGHLY recommend ‘giving what we can’ as they focus on some go the most effective charities for your dollar (eg. Investing in preventative measures such as malaria nets and childhood vaccination). Even though I make under the average income knowing my dollar translates into so much tangible good is just incredible.

that phrase about how whenever you wear nice things and how it makes others wish they had it and not think about you really puts things in to perspective

Thats great timing. I will be starting a Job soon after graduation and just today I started to look up, how to manage the money I will be getting.

Love this fireplace coziness

This video was incredibly helpful, thank you so much! If I may ask, would you consider making a video for people who have never received one on one therapy before and how they can prepare themselves to go into their first therapy session with the right mindset and realistic expectations that can help set them up for success? I feel like there are so many qualified therapists to choose from but many people I’ve spoken to who have received counseling express a surprising amount of disappointment from their time in therapy and I often wonder why that is. It makes me wonder if there are any pitfalls that people may not realize they can fall into when receiving counseling that can diminish their overall perception of therapy? For example: venting vs having a conversation , taking on a listening role rather than a more dynamic role when interacting with their therapist… I’d love to know if this is something you’ve covered before or if you’d consider making a video to address some common pitfalls and some preemptive measures people can take to avoid these? BONUS: knowing how to recognize when it might be right to end your time with a therapist and seek out a different one that may be a better fit? Sorry for the lengthy read, but thank you so much for all that you do to encourage and inform people with your content! 🙏🏽

Im happy to watch/listen to +30 minute videos for your channel. Thanks for the high quality content🙏🏼🙏🏼

Your videos have been so helpful to my mental health these past 2 years. Thank you ❤

This video is filled with gold.

I have trauma from money because my parents always complained about it and then stopped working and I had to take care of my family. They guilted me, put me down, and made me miserable when I tried to set a boundary to say I could no longer support them. Now, I struggle with keeping it because yeah I was made to feel selfish if I had it.

Interesting video. I'd like to see a video about your entrepeneurship journey. Lessons like the "list" thing, or some bits you mentioned like the "value/worth" things were insightful. I personally ask bc i'm interested in that world but i do struggle with "knowing my worth", so if you covered how you dealt with that in your personal journey (both dealing with being "undervalued" and "overvaluing yourself") Maybe for the video to make sense within the context of your channel it could be themed around the "psychology entrepeneur" figure in some way, "entrepenurial lessons from my psychology practice", something like that. I think that's the "frame" that makes more sense but lessons from all aspects, online business, courses, books, practice, editing books, etc, all are interesting to me personally

Deep Desire + Faith + Perseverance + luck. More like A deep desire to not be where one is, fear motivating the action to get out from that place you don’t want to be, with laser focus to get what you want. It’s not always the peace and love positive vibes that get you to a higher ground. Fear is a much stronger motivator as long as it doesn’t cause you to freeze in your tracks. And having faith is something working out is not as strong as flat out saying to yourself that it will work out because there is no plan B. That’s not faith, that’s brute force determination.

That's one durable piece of log. Nice video btw, this is one of my favorite channels now. A dose of sanity.

Dr. Ana, you're so great and on point as usual! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and I hope you continue succeeding

I wish I could like this video 10 times over! So articulate and such important knowledge, I learned a lot

your videos have provided me with such value over the past few months. thank you for your work ana! 😊💛

Omg I so much needed this thanks

Where do you draw the line between generosity and boundaries?

can you please talk about retro active jealousy and how to work towards getting better?

Thank you 🙏🏼 I feel that I gain much value from your videos. I appreciate your service to the world!

well analyzed 👏 thank you for putting out your work. Awareness and shifting beliefs and mindset are the first step for everything.

I don’t have hope, because I’ve tried a lot. But hope was not enough. My hope and my hard work was not enough. I’ve just ended up sad, depressed and suicidal.

Thanks for your generous sharing of knowledge. It means a lot. Good quality stuff.

Damn, I was expecting wisdom but I wasn't ready for those beats! 💃

Loved this vid! I was cooking while listening to this and didn’t even realize it was 30 mins. I could listen to you for hours! Podcast?

30:01 my thoughts exactly

Great book on money: the ecology of commerce

Doctor Ana ❤❤❤ I'm so proud of you right now! I've clearly missed a few videos. Congratulations lovely lady ❤

Thank you for sharing this content

Excellent video

Ohh I’ve been waiting for this one! Amazingly helpful and really made me approach thinking about finance from a new perspective ❤

This is such a well put-together video. Thank you! Every section could be its own chapter in a book and you have summarized it all in just 30 mins. There is a great pamphlet on the topic of money and happiness by Dr. Tara Smith called "Money Can Buy Happiness".

Please make a video on what is the cap for someone’s happiness in regards to money

Artfully-positioned book on the shelf...I see what she's doing 😊

Great video, I hadn't thought about misers and the definition of abundance that way
