Why You Feel Broke Even When You Have Money (Financial Trauma Explained)

You Can Have Money and Still Feel Unsafe With Money

If your bank balance looks “fine” but your body still feels on edge around money, it’s not about spreadsheets—it’s about how your nervous system decides safety. In Episode 2 of Breaking Money Cycles, we unpack why more money ≠ more peace, and share a 10-minute daily practice to retrain your system to feel “enough.”

Watch Episode 1: Ex IFA Explains: Saving More Never Made Me Feel Safe — Here’s the Real Problem -    • Ex IFA Explains: Saving More Never Made Me...  

What you’ll learn:

🥰 Why your brain uses old emotional patterns, not numbers, to judge money safety (hello, “we can’t afford that” conditioning).
🥰 Why logic and affirmations often fail—and what embodiment does differently.
🥰 A quick recap of the 3 Money Zones (Receiving • Holding • Giving) and how they get hijacked.
🥰 The 10-Minute Heart-Breathing Practice to calm money anxiety and create real “enoughness.”
🥰 How this shifts daily choices—from spending and saving to pricing and investing.

💗 Start the shift (1-minute practice)
Hand on heart → take slow, even breaths → recall a vivid moment of love/gratitude → return to your money task from that state. It’s nervous-system training, not positive thinking.
