In this episode of Shadow Work, WTF? I'm breaking down the concept of understanding your ‘receiving capacity’ and uncovering how it impacts your relationship with money and your nervous system. 

I’ll be diving deep into my own journey with this idea, spilling all the juicy details, and giving you the actionable insights you need to expand your capacity for wealth and abundance.
