Financial Wellness Without Shame: How to Heal Your Money Story and Regulate Your Nervous System

What if financial literacy was the missing piece in your wellness routine?

In this powerful episode of The Tarryn Reeves Show, I’m joined by Sarah Penfold — a former wilderness guide turned project manager and now passionate money coach — to explore how our financial habits, mindset, and nervous system are deeply connected. From growing up in a multi-generational farming family to becoming a leader in financial empowerment, Sarah shares how she transformed her relationship with money — and how you can too.

We dive deep into the psychology of money, the emotional blocks keeping you stuck, and practical strategies for managing your finances without shame, fear, or burnout. Plus, we unpack how financial wellness is the missing link in traditional self-care and why understanding your money patterns is an act of radical self-love.

If you're an entrepreneur, changemaker, or anyone ready to feel safe and empowered with your finances — this is your episode.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why money is still the last taboo in wellness — and how to change that
