Breaking Money Cycles - Why Saving More Money Never Makes You Feel Safe
Description
In this deeply personal episode, I explore why having more money often doesn't make us feel safer, and why this isn't actually a money problem - it's a meaning problem. Drawing from my own experience of nearly losing my youngest son Thomas twice in his first five weeks of life, I reveal how our "not enough" programming around money often stems from our deepest fears about being unprepared when someone we love is at risk.
Through my three-zone model of receiving, holding, and giving, I break down how these inherited money beliefs create an exhausting cycle where we work harder but can never earn, save, or give enough to feel truly secure - because the issue was never about the money itself, but the unconscious meanings we've attached to it.
