Uncertainty can feel like kryptonite for our nervous system, but we are not helpless in the face of it. 

Today, we’re diving into the concept of *Financial Cues of Safety*—small but powerful financial actions that can help soothe your nervous system, create a sense of stability, and shift your relationship with money from one of stress to one of empowerment, which is very needed in these times. Because, believe it or not, money can actually be a tool for regulation, not just a source of chaos.  

Key Takeaways:

1. Your nervous system influences how you experience money, and vice versa. Slowing down and noticing financial patterns under stress can help you shift from reaction to intention.  

2. Financial safety isn’t just about more money—it’s about what actually makes you feel safe. Ask yourself: Will this financial action energize me or burn me out?  

3. Small financial steps can be powerful cues of safety. Whether it’s following up on an invoice, negotiating a bill, or setting financial boundaries, these micro-actions can create macro shifts in your nervous system.  

4. Money amplifies who you already are. When used with intention, financial empowerment can help you care for yourself *and* your community in sustainable ways.  

Keywords:

Financial nervous system regulation, financial stability, financial empowerment, nervous system safety, money and resilience.

Welcome To The Hey Nadz Show: UnF*ck Your Money

In this episode, my guest Cecily Sailer and I dive into the intersections of creativity, healing, resilience… and money!

We explore the societal conditioning that makes so many of us believe we’re "not creative," the fears of being a "starving artist," and how capitalism warps our relationship with creativity. We also unpack how tarot can be a powerful tool for self-discovery, trauma healing, and making powerful money moves, revealing hidden patterns around abundance and scarcity. If you’ve ever struggled with accessing your creative power, feared that pursuing creativity means sacrificing financial stability, or wondered how to stay authentic in business while resisting harmful systems, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired and empowered.  

Key Episode Takeaways:

1. Creativity is not just for artists– Many of us were taught that creativity is frivolous or reserved for the "gifted," but it's actually essential for survival, healing, and resilience.  

2. Why unlearning childhood and societal conditioning around creativity can help you to reconnect with authentic self-expression.  

3. Using Tarot as a mirror for abundance & money blocks – Tarot can reveal subconscious beliefs about money, power, and self-worth, helping creatives and entrepreneurs shift their financial mindset.  

4. How creativity & business profit can coexist – Thriving artists and creators prove that you don’t have to sacrifice authenticity for financial success—you can create and still be prosperous.  

5. Staying creative in a capitalist world requires care and connection – Balancing business, grief, and creativity means regulating the nervous system, practicing self-care, and rejecting toxic productivity.

Welcome To The Hey Nadz Show: UnF*ck Your Money

In this episode, I sit down with a Somatic Trauma Resolution Practitioner and Educator, Veronica Rottman, @wakingwomb, whose approach to nervous system healing challenges traditional teachings and brings a fresh, nuanced perspective. 

We dive into the unique ways the female nervous system experiences trauma, the connection between the menstrual cycle and financial habits, and why mainstream somatic healing myths might be keeping people stuck. 

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by nervous system dysregulation—whether around money, emotions, or physical symptoms—this conversation will offer deep insights and actionable tools to support your healing journey.  

 Key Takeaways:

1. CPTS vs. CPTSD– Dropping the ‘D’ acknowledges that trauma responses are not disorders, but adaptive nervous system reactions to stress.  

2. Somatic Healing Myths – Simply acting out emotions (rage, crying, etc.) isn’t true somatic work and may actually reinforce dysregulation rather than resolve it.  

3. Trauma & The Female Nervous System – How the Female Nervous System moves through nervous system dysregulation differently, and how hormonal shifts play a key role in how women experience trauma and emotions.  

4. Money & The Nervous System – Financial habits like overspending, hyper-frugality, or debt cycles are often rooted in nervous system dysregulation, not just mindset issues.  

5. Menstrual Cycle & Money– Different phases of the menstrual cycle influence nervous system regulation, impulse control, and even financial decision-making.  

Connect with Veronica:

Veronica is a somatic trauma resolution practitioner (SEP) who specializes in the female nervous system. Her background of over 16 years in somatics integrates a variety of modalities including Veronicaʼs own methodoloy that centers the needs of the female nervous system.

Welcome To The Hey Nadz Show: UnF*ck Your Money

How do we leverage our neurocircuitry to create meaningful and long lasting changes to our financial realities?  

In this episode, my guest, Behavioral Neuroscientist Dr Val Rytova and I dive into the fascinating intersection of money, trauma, and neuroscience. We explore how financial environments, trauma, and scarcity shape brain chemistry, nervous system responses, and even DNA through epigenetics. The conversation uncovers the neuroscience behind shame, fear of failure, and goal setting, offering actionable insights on how neuroplasticity can help rewire the brain for abundance and financial success. Whether you’re dealing with financial setbacks, money shame, or want to optimize your mindset, this episode provides tools to reorient toward positivity and growth at any age.

Key Takeaways

• Financial environments and trauma impact brain chemistry and DNA, but neuroplasticity allows us to rewire these patterns.
• Shame around money—whether from scarcity, debt, or wealth—has deep roots in the brain but can be transformed using neuroscience tools.
• Setting neuroscience-backed financial goals can make achieving them easier and more sustainable.
• Focusing on positivity, glimmers, and abundance rewires the brain for resilience and growth after setbacks.
• Neuroplasticity is possible at any age, and small, intentional practices support lifelong healing and transformation.

Welcome To The Hey Nadz Show: UnF*ck Your Money

In this episode of the UnFuckYourMoney Podcast, my guest, Sam Sundius, and I dive into neurodivergence, particularly ADHD and autism, and how it can affect our relationship with money. 

We explore the role of dopamine in decision-making, and the impact of capitalism on financial behaviors. 

Sam generously shares personal insights and strategies for navigating finances while embracing neurodivergent traits, emphasizing the importance of flexibility, emotional support, and deprogramming shame around money, with an emphasis on the importance of playfulness and creativity in managing money, challenging traditional financial POVs, advocating for a more flexible and trauma-informed approach to financial goal setting. 

Takeaways

• Neurodivergence includes ADHD, autism, and other ways of being.
• Dopamine plays a crucial role in how we make financial decisions.
• Understanding one's neurodivergence can aid in self-advocacy.
• How financial struggles are often tied to societal expectations.
• How neurodivergent individuals excel in risk-taking and creativity.
• How shame can hinder financial progress and how liberating ourselves from financial shame can lead to a more playful relationship with money.
• How challenging the system can empower individuals to take control of their financial situations.
• And why self-discipline is not the only path to achieving financial goals; flexibility is key.

A Quick Note from Sam on self diagnosis:

Self-diagnosis (or, better put, self-identification) of neurodivergence is totally valid and widely accepted in the self-advocacy community. Medical diagnosis from a trusted and supportive provider is valuable for getting appropriate support and/or treatment---however, in the case of autism there can be severe, life-long legal ramifications for receiving a formal diagnosis, especially if you reside in one a state with a mandatory registry. (It shouldn't be this way, but it is.) So do your research and talk to your provider *before* seeking an evaluation about the risks and benefits a documented diagnosis could bring you or your child. Use discernment. Don't deny yourself or your child the care or accommodations that you need, but do take precautions in this batshit, ableist world.

Welcome To The Hey Nadz Show: UnF*ck Your Money

This episode of the Un-Fuck Your Money Show I unpack the real reason humans feel unfulfilled and wanna shop till they drop!

I address this global sense of unhappiness and how it relates to consumerism, and the importance of acknowledging and processing our negative emotions such as anger and sadness, which are quite appropriate these days! 

I also introduce tools for emotional processing, such as somatic experiencing and the change triangle, and I go into the significance of community, creativity, nature, and slowness in building resilience. 

Epsiode Takeaways:

• Feeling unhappy is a global issue, not personal.
• Negative emotions are often seen as the enemy.
• It's normal to feel anger and sadness right now.
• Shopping can be a distraction from negative emotions.
• Processing emotions is essential for emotional health.
• Crying can provide clarity and relief.
• Why Community and creativity are vital for resilience.
• Mindful shopping can help curb consumerism.
• Emotional attunement is crucial for self-awareness.
• Seeking support is important for emotional healing.

• Tarot for Creative Spirits workbook by Cecily Sailor.

Hey my love!

Welcome back to the show! I am so excited about this week's episode!

The main theme for this episode is how money work is a continuous journey, not a one-time fix, and the many pitfalls I see in one's healing journey with money that can create more stuckness than momentum. 

I chat about the 6 indicators that more money work is required, especially as we desire bigger and more audacious goals as business owners. 

And why oppressive financial systems will not work for you after having spent years working on healing your inner child and creating a life that is aligned with more meaning and intention.
