You check your bank balance. Again. It’s the fourth time today, and nothing has changed since this morning. The number is exactly the same—more than enough to cover your expenses—but your chest still feels tight.

Or maybe you’re the opposite. You have months of expenses saved, but you’re eating peanut butter sandwiches because buying expensive groceries feels reckless. Perhaps you can negotiate million-dollar deals for your company but freeze completely when it’s time to raise your own rates.

Sound familiar?

Here’s what I’ve learned working with hundreds of driven women: your relationship with money isn’t about math. It’s about memory. Your nervous system is responding to old information—when love could be withdrawn, when resources actually ran out, when saying no meant losing everything.

That midnight account-checking? Your body remembering when security vanished overnight. The guilt around charging what you’re worth? An echo of early messages that taking care of yourself meant taking from others. The inability to spend on comfort despite having savings? Your system still braced for the control that used to come with help.

These behaviors aren’t irrational. They’re intelligent responses from a nervous system that learned to equate financial security with emotional safety—because once, they were the same thing.

This month’s workbook offers something different than money advice or mindset mantras. These are evidence-based, somatic tools designed to work with your body’s wisdom, not against it.
