Welcome back to Unfuck Your Money!

In this week’s episode, I share a personal story about facing medical uncertainty and how it reactivated old patterns of financial catastrophizing.

If you tend to imagine worst-case scenarios — especially around money — this episode is for you!!

In this episode, I explore why catastrophizing is not just overthinking but a survival response rooted in trauma.

You’ll also learn a powerful 3-step pattern interruption process to calm your nervous system and stop the spiral, so you can make clearer, more grounded financial choices.

Here’s What You’ll Learn today:

•Why catastrophizing is a nervous system response (not a mindset issue)

•How trauma, emotional neglect, and unpredictability can shape our fears about money

•The link between financial avoidance, overspending, and chronic fear

•A 3-step nervous system-based process to interrupt catastrophic thinking and build inner safety
