Episode Description

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

Welcome to Episode 3 in the Money and Nervous System Series with Felina Danalis 

You know you need to look at the account, open the bill, deal with the debt or make the decision… but you just can’t seem to do it.

In this episode, we explore financial freeze: avoidance, shutdown, overwhelm, and the shame spiral that often follows.

Instead of asking, “Why am I so irresponsible?” we ask a better question: what is the avoidance trying to protect you from?

Tune in to learn more about this nervous system response, and what you can do about it.

This work is not a substitute for therapy or trauma treatment. My work is trauma-sensitive, somatic-informed coaching designed to support post-traumatic growth through greater self-trust, choice, and aliveness.
