UnF*ck Your Money
Money isn’t just math.
It’s fear. Control. Safety. Worth. Power. And your nervous system knows it.
Unfuck Your Money is a no-BS, nervous-system-informed podcast for high-functioning women who are great at holding it together, yet secretly tired of bracing their way through life.
I’m Nadine. I’m not here to teach you budgets or tell you to “heal your trauma.”
I’m here to help you understand why your body reacts the way it does to money, boundaries, rest, joy, relationships, and choice.
On this podcast, we talk about:
- How money can be a safety strategy
- why responsible people struggle with ease
- over-functioning, burnout, and being “the capable one”
- boundaries that actually feel possible
- pleasure without guilt
- joy without toxic positivity
- building capacity on a nervous system level, instead of fixing yourself
This isn’t hustle culture.
It’s not toxic positivity.
And it’s definitely not “just think differently.”
It’s about learning how to feel safe enough to live a full, joyful life, money included.
If you’re done surviving…
Welcome. I hope you enjoy the show!

Welcome back to the show!
In this episode, I sit down with a Somatic Trauma Resolution Practitioner and Educator, Veronica Rottman, @wakingwomb, whose approach to nervous system healing challenges traditional teachings and brings a fresh, nuanced perspective.
We dive into the unique ways the female nervous system experiences trauma, the connection between the menstrual cycle and financial habits, and why mainstream somatic healing myths might be keeping people stuck.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by nervous system dysregulation—whether around money, emotions, or physical symptoms—this conversation will offer deep insights and actionable tools to support your healing journey.
Key Takeaways:
1. CPTS vs. CPTSD– Dropping the ‘D’ acknowledges that trauma responses are not disorders, but adaptive nervous system reactions to stress.
2. Somatic Healing Myths – Simply acting out emotions (rage, crying, etc.) isn’t true somatic work and may actually reinforce dysregulation rather than resolve it.
3. Trauma & The Female Nervous System – How the Female Nervous System moves through nervous system dysregulation differently, and how hormonal shifts play a key role in how women experience trauma and emotions.
4. Money & The Nervous System – Financial habits like overspending, hyper-frugality, or debt cycles are often rooted in nervous system dysregulation, not just mindset issues.
5. Menstrual Cycle & Money– Different phases of the menstrual cycle influence nervous system regulation, impulse control, and even financial decision-making.
