“i may be a beginner at some things, but i’ve got a black belt in shopping.” 🖤
– carrie bradshaw
it used to be fun.
add to cart.
swipe the card.
walk out feeling a little lighter, a little more “put together.”
like something new could fix what felt off.
but lately...
the thrill doesn’t hit the same for most women.
is this you?
instead of excitement,
there’s tension.
a tiny rush of panic before the confirmation email hits.
a sinking feeling when the bill shows up.
the truth?
if your favorite game was once
“how long until the bank calls and says you’ve reached your limit?”
it might be time to play a new one.
shopping isn’t the enemy.
but escapism might be.
a lot of women are starting to look at their habits differently—
not because of guilt,
but because of growth.
emotional spending.
reward spending.
scrolling and swiping to feel something.
it’s not just about money.
it’s about boundaries.
about impulse.
about the stuff we do to avoid sitting with what’s really going on.
this goes deeper than the cart.
many women start by trying to fix their diet.
or tone their body.
or break up with sugar.
but what gets uncovered along the way is bigger than food.
💳 the unpaid balance.
🛍️ the shopping habit that spirals.
📦 the daily Amazon boxes.
🤍 the internal chaos masked by cute outfits and fresh lipstick.
this is where the shift begins.
when structure replaces shame.
when awareness replaces avoidance.

or the new handbag.
