Wagewound: When Paychecks Become Identity Prisons exposes the invisible emotional cost of modern work culture. In this piercing, transformative guide, author Matthew Petchinsky uncovers how generations of workers were conditioned to equate self-worth with income, productivity, and performance. Through psychological insight, emotional healing frameworks, and trauma-informed reflection, Wagewound helps readers unlearn the belief that earning defines existence. You'll explore the hidden architecture of credit systems, the scarcity myths that fuel burnout, and the nervous system's role in financial anxiety. Each chapter reveals a path to rebuild peace, presence, and identity beyond the paycheck - a blueprint for freedom in an economy built on exhaustion. Whether you're trapped in hustle culture or seeking to reclaim your inner value, this book will teach you how to stop surviving for validation and start living from wholeness. Wagewound isn't just a book - it's your permission slip to be human again.
