In this podcast episode hosted by Cheri Honeycutt, Tamara Lee delves into the emotional and physiological aspects of our relationship with money, emphasizing the importance of managing the nervous system to build self-trust and overcome financial anxiety. She shares practical somatic practices such as guided breathwork, visualization, meditation, and journaling to help individuals connect with their bodies and understand their emotional responses to financial matters.
Tamara highlights the often-overlooked role of the nervous system in handling money, suggesting that traditional financial tools miss the mark by not addressing these deeper aspects. By tuning into the body's wisdom and gradually trying new practices, such as yoga or new therapy approaches, individuals can regulate their emotions, reduce stress, and develop a healthier relationship with money.
Throughout the episode, Tamara's own experiences, including learning to ride a motorcycle, illustrate the power of stepping outside one's comfort zone. She introduces the concept of feeling "scare-sighted" or "excited pukery" when facing new challenges, which can lead to personal growth and a more empowered financial outlook. By listening to your body and following your intuition, you can uncover hidden passions and create a fulfilling life, both financially and personally.
