Why More Money Still Feels Like Not Enough with Teresa Romain (Clarifier Endotype)

If you’ve ever hit an income goal and felt… nothing (or worse: pressure), this conversation will land. I sat down with Teresa Romain who’s been teaching abundance for 30 years and we went straight into the uncomfortable truth most coaches avoid: you can be doing “everything right” financially and still feel like you’re failing. Teresa talks candidly about debt, shame, bankruptcy, and the moment she realized her entire definition of abundance was built on external proof. We unpack what she calls The Abundance Trap: when abundance becomes a destination “out there,” and money becomes the metric that decides whether you’re enough. Teresa explains why the goalposts move even when your income grows, why “beans and rice” strategies can be useful but aren’t the same thing as abundance, and why sufficiency (not “more and more”) is where freedom starts to show up. This is one of those episodes that makes you rethink your  Guest Bio Teresa Romain is an abundance coach with 30+ years of experience helping people shift their relationship with money, scarcity, and self-worth.
