You don't need another expert telling you what to do. You need a story that feels like yours. You're not alone - and your situation is not hopeless. In SHOPPING ADDICTION: A New Way to Understand Your Shopping Habits, you'll meet Emma: a relatable, everyday woman who's smart, capable, and completely overwhelmed by her finances. She's not careless; she's caught in a familiar pattern. Payday spending. Guilt. Promises to do better. Repeat. But this isn't a traditional self-help book. There's no rigid budgeting plan or financial shame. Instead, you'll walk beside Emma as she slowly unpacks her habits, explores her emotional triggers, and begins to rebuild her relationship with money from the inside out. You'll recognise yourself in her overspending, her hope that this one thing will change everything, and the small, powerful shifts that begin when she finally starts paying attention.
