Episode Description from the Publisher

Sarah highlights how our relationship to money is shaped by past experiences that have linked wealth with danger, shame, or pressure. These patterns can quietly limit our ability to receive and sustain financial well-being, which is why it’s essential to build our capacity to receive pleasure. Through tangible practices like reparenting and nervous system regulation, Sarah offers a compassionate path toward decoupling wealth from past experiences, allowing for a more fully expressed and abundant life.   Episode Highlights: [00:00] Introduction [00:50] Why nothing in nature is meek [03:00] Nature’s innate ability to receive abundantly [03:50] Your nervous system as the ruler of your lived experience [06:50] The meaning we create around money [09:55] Building our nervous system’s capacity to hold wealth [12:10] Receiving goodness simply because you exist [14:14] Reparenting your younger parts [17:55] Stepping into the callings of your life [18:30] Getting beyond survivor’s guilt [22:30] Where wealth comes from [24:22] Question 1 - What are effective ways to overcome compulsive spending habits?
