How to Feel Safe Earning More (Without Sabotaging or Overspending It)","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1361,"description":"Have you ever made more money… only to find yourself overspending, shrinking back, or feeling anxious instead of abundant? If so, you’re not alone — and there’s nothing wrong with you.In this episode, I explore one of the most important — and most misunderstood — pieces of financial growth: your money nervous system thermostat. We often think that earning more should feel good, natural, or easy. But the truth is, if a part of your body doesn’t feel safe with more, it will unconsciously pull you back to what’s familiar, even if what’s familiar is financial stress, inconsistency, or sabotage.I share: ✨ Why lifestyle inflation, overspending, or freezing with money isn’t a lack of discipline — it’s a nervous system response. ✨ How our childhood environment (not just money memories) sets our internal “thermostat” for how much abundance feels safe. ✨ The science behind why expansion often triggers threat responses like guilt, fear, or shame — even when something good is happening. ✨ Powerful, practical tools to build your capacity to earn more and keep more, including nervous system healing practices and co-regulation in community.I also share personal stories — including the moment Louise Hay offered me my first book deal and why my immediate response was a shame spiral rather than celebration. This is such a potent example of how expansion can overwhelm our body if we haven’t updated our internal capacity to receive more.You’ll walk away understanding: 🌿 Why financial strategy can’t stick without nervous system safety 🌿 How to start signaling “you are safe” during both contraction and expansion 🌿 The key questions to ask your body to uncover the stories and sensations running the show 🌿 How safe community accelerates your capacity to hold more wealth with ease and consistencyThis episode will help you stop the patterns that have kept you cycling between making more and losing it — and instead begin to create a nervous system that can hold, grow, and enjoy wealth....","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/o03JRta_QRrWYpVnGEniH9ofqOD9uyABk7kkXvT0B_E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ1MzMzLzE2OTUz/ODkwNzQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
