So why is it that unstable income can be so psychologically stressful? And what are the biggest mistakes people make when managing inconsistent income?

Sure.

So to me, it comes back to this idea of are you resisting what is or are you flowing with it? And a great visual for that is if you're standing at the beach, And if you go into the waves and the waves are crashing against you, if you're trying to resist those, then that's what you get.

You usually get knocked down.

You might get dragged under.

It might be very uncomfortable.

It might be very painful.
