Summary

What if the reason you’re avoiding financial clarity isn’t about math or spreadsheets, but about your body and nervous system? Join me for this episode of Plenty for an eye-opening solo episode unpacking the profound connection between money clarity and feeling safe.

Financial clarity creates abundance and empowerment, but I know firsthand how impossible stepping into clarity can feel. Why is that? In this episode, I take a deep dive into the nervous system science behind why money can feel overwhelming or even unsafe, even when we consciously desire it.

I share my personal journey of moving from financial vagueness and avoidance to a place of resilience and clarity—and how this shift completely transformed my financial reality. You’ll learn about the concept of “neuro tags” and how our survival wiring often resists clarity, even though it’s what we crave.

“Money loves clarity. Clarity is magnetic to money—and everything else in life.”
-Kate Northrup

1:31.5	actually get the clarity that they know they need to have. And they end up just avoiding it
1:37.6	for years, possibly decades. I certainly know because I was one of those people. I was racking up a whole

1:54.2	how much money I made. I had no idea how much debt I had. And I thought, unconsciously, because when I say this out loud,
