We unpack why so many of us unconsciously give our financial power away (hello, patriarchy + intergenerational programming), how those beliefs show up as procrastination, over-giving, perfectionism, and under-charging, and the practical tools that help you shift into wealth + worth. Karen shares her own story—from healing trauma to paying off $13k debt—plus how EFT tapping and self-worth work change your relationship with money so you can take aligned action (without B-minus guilt).What You’ll Learn- Why your money issues are rarely about the money—and what they’re really about- The “financial garden” metaphor: stop snipping weeds at the soil line and pull them up by the roots- How inherited fear and social conditioning (e.g., “women aren’t good with money”) keep you small- The nervous-system angle: turning off “freaked-out brain” and switching on “peace brain” so you can make clear decisions- Why progress beats perfection (ship the B-minus work!)- Karen’s 3 power moves for financial successKey Takeaways & Sticky Notes:“Money work is identity work.” Change the story, then the numbers can change.Regulate to rewire.
