Scenario

When families get trapped in wishful thinking instead of actionable hope

My family keeps saying 'next year will be better' about our financial situation but we never actually make the changes that would make next year different from this year. We're all living in this weird space where we have hope but no real plan, and I don't know how to bring up that our hope might be keeping us stuck.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Hope without temporal grounding becomes a shared delusion that prevents the very action that could make hope real.
