UnF*ck Your Money
Most financial advice tells you WHAT to do.
UnF*ck Your Money explores how to do it when life, stress, fear, and overwhelm get in the way.
If information alone changed behavior, we’d all have perfect finances.
But we don’t.
Because we’re human.
We have nervous systems.
We have histories.
We have fears.
We have grief.
We have habits.
We have protective parts.
And those things show up in our bank accounts every day.
This podcast is for humans who know what to do but don’t do it. It’s about understanding what comes in their way.
Welcome to UnF*ck Your Money the podcast where overwhelmed high-achievers, overgivers, and anxious humans learn how to create a calmer, more empowered relationship with money, themselves, and life.
Hosted by Behavioral Finance Coach & Somatic Practitioner Nadine Zumot, this podcast explores the intersection of money, behavior, nervous systems, self-trust, emotional wellbeing, and the very human reasons we struggle to follow through on what we already know would help.
So if you've ever thought:
"I know what I should be doing with money, so why can't I seem to do it?"
you're in the right place.
Through honest conversations, practical tools, nervous-system-informed education, and deeply human storytelling, Nadine helps listeners understand the emotional and behavioral patterns driving financial anxiety, emotional spending, avoidance, burnout, overgiving, and self-sabotage, so they can build financial stability without shame, overwhelm, or hustle.
Because financial wellness isn’t just about numbers.
It’s about safety.
Capacity.
Self-trust.
And creating a life that actually feels spacious enough to enjoy.
Welcome. Enjoy the show. ♥️

The Best Money Convo in The World with Felina Danalis
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to the show! This week, I am SO excited to be bringing you this RICH money conversation with Felina Danalis, M.A., S.E.P. (she/her) who helps individuals and mission-driven organizations master resilience to stress, anxiety and trauma in order to have a more meaningful impact in the world in a culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed, body-based way.
This conversation adds something that has been sorely missing on my show- a global and systemic angle to money that has never been discussed before.
Folks, a holistic, trauma informed conversation about money must include the various aspects of systemic and social traumas that impact how humans relate to money.
"We can talk about what’s happening on an individual level but if we’re not also taking into account systemic trauma we can really cause a lot of harm to ourselves and the people we are serving.”
This conversation also explores the idea of the exploitation of self, and our “inner colonizer” which is something I see a lot in myself and my clients.
Felina and I also address the impact of human consumption on the climate, and the implications of consuming material objects on the global system, their cost on the environment and our wellbeing on the long run.
We also bring up the idea of sufficiency and how important it is in our relationship to money as healers and coaches, as it pertains to our overall wellbeing, wealth and our collaboration with others.
I hope you love this episode! Please reach out if you have any questions, and don't forget to leave a 5 star review!
