In this episode, I sit down with Kurtis Lee Thomas, founder of Breathwork Detox, to talk about what a lot of people feel but rarely know how to name: the gap between understanding "money is energy" and still looking at your bank account like, what is happening. Kurtis brings a grounded, embodied perspective to wealth. We explore how money is tied to the nervous system, how the body can hold past stress and unprocessed emotion, and why "trying harder" often fails when the real issue is internal congestion. This conversation is a bridge between the energetic and the practical, with breath as the access point. What we cover
- Money and nervous system capacity
- "Issues in the tissues" and stored emotional weight
- Why manifesting isn't the problem, and what blocks receiving
- Breathwork as an energetic reset and clarity tool
- Resistance, routine, and keeping practices sustainable
