What If Money Stress Is A Mental Health Issue, with Tony Bradshaw
Money stress has a way of leaking into everything: sleep, relationships, confidence, even the way we imagine the future. That is why this conversation with Tony Bradshaw hit so hard. He is the author of *The Millionaire Choice*, host of *The Millionaire Choice Show*, and a longtime business leader who helped scale a company from $3 million to $125 million, but his money story starts somewhere far more familiar: earning a decent salary and still ending the year broke and in debt.
We walk through the exact mindset and personal finance shifts that helped Tony flip the script fast: learning financial literacy on purpose, breaking a monthly budget into clear lanes, paying down consumer debt, and starting to invest consistently. We also unpack why the word “millionaire” can trigger discomfort, how money myths keep people stuck, and why the real issue is often a lack of education rather than a lack of effort. If you have ever felt awkward talking about money, investing, or wealth building, you will hear why that discomfort is common and how to move through it.
From there, we go under the surface: the deeper patterns Tony sees in people who keep earning but never get ahead. The big theme is vision. Without a clear picture of where you are going, it is easy to fall into a loop of spending and reacting. We talk about building a vision you can actually follow, preparing for uncertainty like job loss, and treating every dollar like a worker you can send into assets that may generate passive income over time, from mutual funds and stocks to real estate or a business.
