Welcome To The Hey Nadz Show: UnF*ck Your Money

People pleasers, this one’s for you!!

If you’ve ever said “yes” when your body screamed “no,” overspent to keep people happy, or struggled to ask for a raise — this episode is a must-listen.

In today’s episode, I break down how chronic people-pleasing is not just an emotional pattern, but a financial one — rooted in nervous system survival. 

We unpack the Fawn Response, reveal how it shows up in your business and bank account, and I offer trauma-informed steps to begin untangling yourself from the People-Pleaser Tax.

Whether you undercharge, overgive, or feel guilty every time you think about setting boundaries — you are not alone. And more importantly, you’re not broken. You’re protecting yourself the only way your body knew how.

Tune in to learn:

•Why people-pleasing is a nervous system response, not a personality trait

•How the Fawn Response impacts your pricing, boundaries, and spending

•The real cost of saying yes when you mean no

•Trauma-informed, somatic steps to begin healing this money-draining pattern

•Why addressing this at the nervous system level is essential for true financial freedom
