Free e-course: Building Your Capacity to Steward Sacred Wealth

Episode 41 (Part 2 of a 4-Part Series on Money, Power, and Capacity)

Money has never just been about money. It’s always been about power, safety, and choice. And for many women, that’s exactly why it feels so complicated.

In this episode, I explore why wanting more money can bring up fear, guilt, and self-doubt, even when you’re capable, driven, and deeply mission-led. We look at how history, legacy, and the nervous system shape our relationship with money, and why this isn’t a mindset or strategy problem, it’s a safety one.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why money is deeply tied to power, visibility, and safety for women
  • How history and legacy still shape your relationship with money today
  • What it really takes to feel safe holding more income, impact, and influence

This conversation is for women who want to grow their income and impact without burning out, playing small, or betraying themselves in the process.


If you’ve been listening to this series and feel the pull to go deeper, Resourced Wealth is the space where we work with this material in a more supported, intentional way.

Resourced Wealth is a trauma-informed, nervous-system-rooted program for women of color entrepreneurs and leaders who want to heal their relationship with money and power, expand their capacity to receive, and grow their income and impact without burnout, overworking, or self-abandonment, so they can steward real wealth and have a larger impact in the world.

Inside the program, we focus on safety, capacity, and embodied power first, so that growth becomes sustainable and aligned rather than forced or extractive.
