Broke But Ashamed: Healing the Shame Wound of Debt - Paperback

by Matthew Petchinsky (Author)

Debt is not just a financial burden-it is an emotional wound. For millions, unpaid bills and overdue balances carry more than numbers; they carry shame. The weight of debt often becomes a story of failure, unworthiness, and isolation, leaving people believing they are defined by what they owe.

Broke But Ashamed: Healing the Shame Wound of Debt is a compassionate guide for anyone who has ever felt their dignity shrink under the shadow of financial struggle. Instead of quick-fix budgeting tips or judgmental lectures, this book speaks directly to the hidden emotional scars debt creates. Through powerful insights, reflective exercises, and healing practices, it shows how to separate identity from circumstances, reclaim self-worth, and rewrite the inner money story.

Readers will discover how to:

• Break the silence of shame and reconnect with others.
• Transform debt from punishment into a teacher of resilience.
• Practice forgiveness and step into financial renewal with dignity.

This book is not about numbers-it is about healing. If you've ever carried the secret weight of debt and felt unworthy because of it, this is your invitation to release shame and remember your worth.
