Summary
Every time money comes in… you get this urgent desire to spend it.
You're not irresponsible. What you're experiencing is a nervous system response — and in this episode of Dear Jamie, we're going deep on why urgency spikes the moment your income does, and what your body is actually trying to tell you.
In this episode, Jamie answers a powerful listener question from someone who's been noticing a pattern: every time money arrives, the urge to spend almost all of it hits fast and hard. Sound familiar?
What you'll learn:
- What urgency actually is (and why your body creates it in the first place)
- The wealth container, your subconscious mind, and the layers it holds around money
- Why money is never really about money (it's a mirror)
- Why awareness is already the first step of change — and why you should celebrate that you noticed
This is the nervous system and subconscious work that most coaches are teaching separately. Jamie brings them together so you can finally stop bypassing your body and start working with it.

| 1:24.4 | I love this question, and I think it's not talked about enough. I want to just say that the |
| 1:31.5 | urgency that you feel, there's nothing wrong with you. I always like to say anything that we're |
| 1:35.4 | feeling, any discomfort, any urgency. And urgency is that feeling of I need to do it now. Like it's |
| 1:41.2 | fixed energy, control energy, I have to do something now. And it's the body |
