The Rhythm of Money

This is the Season 1 finale of The Rhythm of Money, and the final guided practice.  This is where financial safety and money somatics get you ready to transition into Season 2’s concrete financial work. After you finally look at your full financial picture, comes the part that matters just as much, letting your body catch up and stabilize in the feeling of money competence that you’ve shown yourse...

This is the episode the whole season has been building toward, the one where you actually look at your financial life. Today we put together two simple, honest pictures of where things actually stand right now, not a budget, not a complicated spreadsheet. We walk through exactly what to gather: what you own set against what you owe, and what comes in each month set against what goes out. Before an...

What if body awareness didn’t have to begin with a problem? In this episode of The Rhythm of Money, I’m sharing The Daily First Receiving Practice, the simple morning embodiment practice I use to begin the day from awareness, receiving, and gratitude before effort begins. We’ll cover: 1:45 Why Body Awareness Shouldn’t Begin With a Problem 4:15 Building a Habit of Receiving Before All Else 9:15 Gui...

If manifestation hasn’t fixed your relationship with money, it might be because you're fighting a nervous system response. What if ending financial avoidance began with addressing the “energy drain” at its somatic root?  In this episode you’ll learn why financial avoidance can be so hard to stop, especially for midlife women who may have income, responsibility, experience, and intelligence, y...

What if earning more money isn’t the thing that creates wealth in your life? You’ve probably spent a lot of your life being the one who gives. This episode asks what happens when you turn in the other direction, and what that turn has to do with building real wealth. Receiving is a financial skill. Not a feeling, not a personality trait, but something you develop the same way you’ve developed ever...

This episode is for the woman who handles a lot, understands more than she gives herself credit for, and still notices that certain money moments make something in her tighten, rush, avoid, or override.   We’re naming “The Flinch,” the half-second between your body’s first response to money and the story your mind tells afterward.  This isn’t about being bad with money. It isn’t about not knowing...

You can understand exactly why your financial life isn't quite where you want it to be. You can name the patterns, recognize where they came from, and still find that something in you sidesteps the accounts, defers the decisions, and keeps the real picture slightly out of focus. That gap, between what the mind understands and what the body does, is where most financial change quietly stalls o...

This episode is for the woman who has been learning about money, researching her options, saving articles, listening to podcasts, and getting ready to take action, but whose financial life still may not be changing in the way she wants.  We explore the difference between preparing to deal with money and actually coming into contact with it: the account, the number, the call, the document, the cash...

This episode is for the woman who has spent much of her life giving (time, care, money, attention, energy) and may be beginning to notice the cost.   We look at what happens when giving becomes identity: becoming the one who helps, supports, covers, pays, adjusts, understands, and keeps things moving, while receiving becomes uncomfortable or even wrong, if it ever happens at all.  This is not abou...

Understanding something about money is one thing. Being able to act differently because of it, in the actual moment, is something else entirely.   Before changing financial habits, many women first need a way to notice what happens inside when money comes up — the tightening, avoidance, overwhelm, urgency, or shutdown.   In this episode, we work on closing that gap, using a tool you can reach for...

In this opening episode of The Rhythm of Money , we begin with a quiet pattern many women carry without realizing it: the belief that goodness and financial security don’t fully belong together. If you’ve ever felt conflicted about wanting more, receiving more, or building a life that supports you more fully, this episode gives language to what may have been running underneath the surface for year...

Welcome to The Rhythm of Money , a podcast for women in midlife who are ready to build a financial life that can sustain them abundantly, and for decades to come.  In this short trailer, I share a bit of my own story: how I went from nearly $80,000 in debt at age 40 to a seven-figure net worth, and retirement at 51.  I also share what I've come to understand about why some women find their rh...
