  • 97 | Is Your Scarcity Mindset Connected to Your Spleen Center? A Human Design Approach to Money and Safety

    Ready to work through your scarcity mindset?  Your money fears may not have as much to do with your bank account as they do with your Human Design.  Have you ever wondered why financial anxiety follows you regardless of your actual financial situation? The answer might lie in your spleen center.

    Our spleen center in Human Design profoundly influences our relationship with money, potentially keeping us trapped in scarcity thinking even when financially stable. Understanding this connection allows us to transform our financial mindset from fear to trust by recognizing whether our money fears originate from within or are absorbed from others.

    In this episode I discuss:

     ✔️ How the spleen center governs instinct, intuition, survival, immunity, and our relationship with time

     ✔️ Common signs of money scarcity include feeling "never enough," hoarding, avoiding financial decisions, and anxiety about expenses

     ✔️ How the 7 specific gates in the spleen center correspond to different financial fears

  • 96 | Avoiding Money Conversations with Your Spouse? 3 Simple Ways to Open the Conversation

    Ever noticed how talking about finances with your partner can turn a loving relationship into a conversation filled with stress, defensiveness, and hurt feelings? Money conversations with your spouse don't have to end in arguments or avoidance - there are simple approaches to transform financial discussions into productive, peaceful conversations.

    Many couples avoid talking about money due to past experiences, emotional baggage, or differences in money habits. Financial discussions often spark tension, especially when partners have contrasting approaches to spending and saving.

    Effective money communication requires empathy, curiosity, and working together as a team.

    In this episode, I share 3 powerful approaches that have completely changed how my husband and I discuss money:

     ✅ Changing your approach by focusing on dreams and goals in the beginning of the conversation instead of problems

     ✅ Choosing the right time and setting for money conversations

     ✅ The importance of active listening and asking open-ended questions

  • 95 | Why Fixing Your Money Mindset Starts with Emotional Regulation—Not Just a Budget

    Do you feel tightness in your chest when thinking about money?  Are you asking yourself "Why does my money mindset feel like an uphill battle, even after positive affirmations?"

    In this episode, we dive into the powerful connection between your nervous system and your relationship with money. When you feel tightness in your chest or a knot in your stomach at the thought of finances, it’s a sign that your money beliefs are stored in your body, often shaped by past experiences of scarcity. 

    Key Takeaways:

    💡 Nervous System & Money: Your body reacts to finances

    🧠 Subconscious Influence: 95% of your life is influenced by your subconscious, and your emotions around money 

    🌱 True Transformation: Align your body, subconscious, and conscious thoughts for lasting change in your money mindset.

    💆‍♀️ Somatic Practices: Use deep breathing and other somatic techniques to ease money triggers and make them less threatening.

    🔄 Shift Affirmations: Focus on “becoming” statements like “I’m learning to manage my money confidently” rather than forcing affirmations your body resists.
