Episode 409: The Hidden Barriers Between You & Financial Freedom w/ Jessica Moorhouse

In this episode of the Journey to Launch Podcast, I spoke to Jessica Moorhouse, a financial expert and author of Everything But Money: The Hidden Barriers Between You and Financial Freedom. Jessica discusses the emotional and psychological challenges that hinder financial progress, highlighting the impact of unresolved trauma and negative self-talk on financial behaviors. Drawing from personal experiences and innovative therapies like EMDR and Internal Family Systems, she shares insights on how to identify and address hidden barriers to success. Jessica also encourages listeners to pursue their passions with purpose while maintaining a balance between ambition and joy. 

In this episode Jessica discusses: 

• Her unhealthy relationship with money, despite outward appearances
• How unhealthy friendships and being a middle child affected her leading to a negative self-perception and how it impacted her career trajectory.
• The different forms of therapy she tried, including EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) and how it helped her reprocess trauma and heal different parts of herself. 
•  The value of finding happiness in small moments and hobbies and how to enjoy the journey and not take everything too seriously.
