E161: Why Money Stress Is Not About the Money, With Catherine Morgan

from De-stress Your Business · host Alexis Kingsbury

Catherine Morgan was a financial adviser with all the right credentials. She had the qualifications, the clients, and years of experience helping others manage their money.   But in her own life, money felt unsafe. She was stuck in cycles of overspending, shame, and fear. Not because she didn’t know how to manage money, but because her nervous system was reacting to something deeper.   That’s when she realised the problem wasn’t knowledge. It was trauma.   So she stepped away from the traditional finance world, retrained in trauma healing, money psychology, and coaching, and started doing the work that had been missing all along.   Today, she’s an award-winning coach, TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and host of the global top 0.5% podcast It’s Not About the Money, with more than 600,000 downloads and a mission to help one million women feel safe and empowered around money.   In this episode of De-stress Your Business, Catherine shares:   Why so many smart, successful people still sabotage themselves financially How money trauma hides in patterns like undercharging, overspending, and avoidance What it means to feel safe with money — especially for ADHD and neurodivergent minds The internal stories that keep us stuck, and how to rewrite them Real transformations Catherine has witnessed — including her own   If money stress keeps showing up in your life or business, even when you’re doing everything “right,” this episode will give you a new way to understand it — and a path forward.   #destressyourbusiness #CatherineMorgan #moneytrauma #financialstress #adhdawareness #neurodivergentleaders #emotionalresilience #businessgrowth #healingjourney #entrepreneurship ---   Helpful resources: Website- https://catherinemorgan.com/ LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherine-morgan/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/catherinemorganmoney/?hl=en Book- “It’s not about the money”- https://catherinemorgan.com/free-book-its-not-about-the-money/ Podcast: It's Not About The Money: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/its-not-about-the-money/id1449065629 Money Quiz: https://catherinemorgan.com/quiz
