139. Why Stressed Women Stay Broke (Even When They're Making Good Money)

What if your worsening eyesight, your need for scalding showers, and your 3am wake-ups are all signs of nervous system dysregulation... and you've been treating them like personality quirks?

In this episode, I break down the signs of nervous system dysregulation that high-performing women have completely normalized, and explain exactly why this matters for your money, your wealth, and your life.

This is not a wellness episode. It's a wealth episode. Because you cannot make your best financial decisions from a nervous system that is in survival mode; and most high-achieving women are running a stress response they've never been taught to see.

In this episode you'll learn:

1. The surprising physical signs of chronic stress or bunrhout that high performers most commonly miss
2. Why your eyesight, sleep, sensory preferences, and body tension are connected to your financial fight-or-flight response
3. Why hustle culture rewards overriding discomfort, and why ambitious women are especially at risk for missing the signs
4. Why financial decisions made from a dysregulated state always cost more than the price tag
5. How this state of being affects all five dimensions of wealth: relationships, health, time, purpose and money
