In this deeply personal episode, I share my full money story—from early responsibility and over-functioning, to building a successful business while quietly living in survival mode.

This episode is an honest reflection on how money became tied to self-worth, control, and safety—and why earning more was never enough to help my body relax.

You'll hear:

• How responsibility shaped my relationship with money

• Why success without safety creates pressure, not peace

• The quiet shame and tension I carried—even in good seasons of money

• What shifted when I stopped trying to control outcomes and learned to receive

• Why abundance is less about mindset and more about nervous system safety

If you've ever felt capable but unsettled…successful but tense…or like no matter how much you do, it never quite feels like enough—this episode is for you.

And if you feel called to join the 30 Day Abundance Reset that begins on February 1st, you can can learn more in the show notes of this episode.

We've been taught that if we just set better goals, work harder, and stay disciplined, everything will fall into place. But what if the reason goals don't stick…isn't because you lack motivation—but because you're disconnected from the person you're becoming?

In this episode, we're exploring the transformational practice of intention setting—why intentions create sustainable change, how they work on a deeper level than goals, and why this practice is especially powerful during seasons of growth, uncertainty, or reinvention. If you've ever felt discouraged by goal-setting, this episode will help you approach the new year—and your life—in a completely different way.

What if money isn't responding to how hard you work—but how safe you feel receiving it? In this episode, we're diving into the energetics of money—how subconscious beliefs, nervous system patterns, self-worth, and identity all shape your ability to create, hold, and receive abundance. This conversation goes far beyond strategy. We're unpacking the invisible forces that actually have more influence over your financial reality—and why shifting from scarcity into overflow begins internally, not externally.

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but money still feels heavy, inconsistent, or stressful, this episode will change the way you see wealth. And if this conversation resonates, my guest in today's episode, Caz and I are bringing this work even deeper in the new year with our upcoming 30 Day Abundance Reset—a grounded, embodied experience designed to help you rewrite your relationship with money from the inside out.

What if the hardest part of becoming who you're meant to be…is letting go of who you once needed to be? This year taught me that becoming isn't about striving, fixing, or adding more. It's about releasing what no longer fits — even when it's familiar, successful, or safe.

In this final episode of the year, I'm sharing the deeper lessons from a year of becoming — the moments I wanted to quit, the signs and synchronicities that kept showing up, the decisions that required surrender over certainty, and the clarity that only came after I stopped resisting the unbecoming. If you're standing at the edge of a new chapter or feeling stuck in your life, this episode is for YOU.

You can have the clearest goals, the strongest mindset, and the best strategy… and still feel stuck, burnt out, overwhelmed, or like you're moving in circles. That's because most blocks don't live in your conscious mind. They live in your subconscious and nervous system.

In today's episode, we're going beyond surface-level limiting beliefs and diving into the hidden ways your subconscious may be sabotaging your success—not because you're broken, but because your system is simply just trying to keep you safe. If you've ever felt like:

• you know what to do but can't follow through

• success feels heavy instead of exciting

• or manifestation feels harder than it "should"

This episode will help you uncover what's really holding you back—and how to begin healing it so you can attract the abundance you desire with ease.
