Unsticking Yourself from Money Trauma : Can Money Keep You Safe?

Let’s talk about something most people never say out loud: What if deep down, you believe money isn’t safe? Not because you’re lazy or self-sabotaging—but because you saw what money did to your family. Because money got used to manipulate, control, or destroy. Because wealth made someone you loved a target. And now, even though you want abundance, your nervous system is quietly screaming, “Danger.” In this episode, I’m answering a question that hit me hard: How has money actually made you safer—as a person and as a mom? This is not about “money solves everything” or chasing some soft life fantasy. It’s about real, grounded ways that having money changed the level of threat in my life. From leaving toxic situations, to parenting with less panic, to breaking cycles of financial control—I’m sharing the tangible, sometimes messy, ways that money has made me feel more protected, less reactive, and more powerful. If you’ve ever feared that getting rich might wreck you—or attract the kind of chaos you’ve spent your life avoiding—this one’s for you.
