Ep. 14: Shayne's story & what C-sections, massage, and money have in common

Shayne Henderson is a Registered Massage Therapist from Collingwood, Ontario, who spent 25 years helping women recover from trauma—especially postpartum and C-section trauma. She's also a licensed finance broker in the insurance sector. What connects these two seemingly different careers? Her belief that everything—our bodies, our nervous systems, our relationship with money—is interconnected. She didn't plan to become a finance broker. A health scare forced her to get her own financial house in order, and what she discovered was that women are ghosting their finances the same way they're ghosting their bodies. In this episode, Shayne talks about informed consent in healthcare, why women need to start investing early, and how your nervous system shows up in every conversation you're avoiding.Key ComponentsHow a 25-year massage therapy career revealed what postpartum care should look like, and what most women never get.How a health scare that made her realize she needed to plan for her family's future—and caused her to become a licensed finance broker.The nervous system connection nobody's talking about: How our bodies react to money conversations the same way they react to healthcare decisions.Starting with $50 a month—why the shame about not having "enough" is keeping women from securing their futures."Ninety percent of us will be in charge of the family finances at some point in our life.
