Episode Description

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

Welcome to Episode 1 in the Money and Nervous System Series with Felina Danalis 


What happens when managing your money turns into monitoring it?

In this episode, I am joined with Felina Danalis to explore the fight response around money: hypervigilance, rigid budgeting, constant checking, and the belief that if you can control every dollar, maybe you can finally feel safe.

We talk about why more control doesn’t always create more safety, and what can help instead.

And because I love a good bargain, there’s a 20% off listener code hidden inside this episode. Yep, you have to actually listen for 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.
