Feeling like your house is “too much” can secretly choke your abundance and self-worth. In this episode, Rebecca shares how a full-on spiral about her home, finances, and single-mom capacity cracked open a huge money wound—and how shifting her mindset around her house immediately shifted what she was able to receive.
Episode description
Holding onto her home after divorce felt noble and necessary, but over time it became a pressure cooker: endless yardwork, repairs, decluttering, childcare, and a mortgage that constantly pushed her nervous system to the edge. Rebecca walks through the very real spiral of resenting her house, feeling unsupported, taking on credit card interest for the first time in a decade, and being mentally prepared to lose everything she had poured into it.
She uncovers a core wound: the belief that “the rug will always be pulled out from under me, and someone else will take what’s mine.” This belief had her stuck in limbo—too scared to invest in making her home feel beautiful and like hers, because she assumed it would all be taken away anyway. From there, she takes you into the moment she almost chose an easier apartment out of scarcity, and the breakthrough where she realized that staying small, frozen, and resentful was blocking her abundance far more than her house ever was.
This episode is for you if you are a single mom, divorced, or simply overwhelmed by a home, job, or life you’ve outgrown—and you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. You’ll hear how small actions like painting a wall, reframing chores, and asking for help can become spiritual declarations to the universe that you trust yourself, trust the divine, and are done living in fear that everything good will be taken from you.
