Why does money bring up so much fear, stress, or overwhelm, even when we’re doing “all the right things”?

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m joined by Brigid Tebaldi, a Nervous System + Identity Coach, to explore the deeper connection between your nervous system and your money story.

So often, budgeting, saving, or managing finances triggers anxiety, fear, shame, or avoidance. Instead of just addressing the behavior and trying to force better habits, Brigid invites us to slow down and get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface.

We talk about how your relationship with money may be rooted in early childhood experiences, learned patterns, and moments where your body learned whether money felt safe or threatening. When we begin to understand these connections, true healing and real financial freedom becomes possible.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why money stress is often a nervous system response
• How childhood experiences shape your financial habits today
• Why behavior modification alone doesn’t lead to lasting change
• How curiosity, compassion, and regulation can bring freedom around finances

If budgeting makes you feel tense, finances trigger fear, or money conversations feel overwhelming, this episode will help you see your story through a new lens, one rooted in healing, awareness, and freedom rather than shame.

✨ This conversation is an invitation to stop fighting yourself and start understanding yourself so you can experience peace, safety, and confidence in this area of your life.
