I know I should start investing.. why can't I? | Jess Gets Investing
Jess wants start investing. She’s tried to start before but every time- she freezes, chickens out, or puts it off entirely. So what’s actually holding her back? Jess sits down with Money Coach Karen Eley to unpack the psychology behind her hesitation. They explore how early money experiences, beliefs, and behaviours can shape the way we think about investing - often without us even realising it. Plus, Jess chats with Equity Mates community member Rebecca, who shares her journey from financial avoidance to building consistent investing habits. Proof that change is possible, no matter where you’re starting from. By the end of the episode, Jess will understand what’s holding her back and walk away with practical strategies to finally take that first step.
