Ep 101: This is Your Chance To Use Money Manifestation After Trauma to Create Safety, Wealth & Freedom with Kat Cozadd
Money isn’t just numbers in your bank account—it’s energy. For so many women, money is tied to shame, silence, scarcity, and survival mode. But what if you could rewrite that story?
In this powerful episode of The Dimple Bindra Show, I sit down with manifestation and mindset coach Kat Cozadd, host of the That’s So Rich podcast. Kat shares her raw journey from childhood trauma, toxic achievement cycles, and $70,000 of debt, to building a multiple six-figure business and finally creating true safety within herself.
We go deep into:
- Why hustle and overachievement don’t create long-term wealth (and what actually does).
- The connection between trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and your money story.
- How to build internal safety so you stop outsourcing power to partners, jobs, or bank balances.
- The truth about “money blocks” and why you don’t have to be fully healed to start manifesting abundance.
- Simple daily practices to shift from fear into love, and scarcity into receiving.
This conversation is for every woman who feels like she’s doing everything “right” but still feels broke, stuck, or unsafe. Kat shows us how to stop hustling for worthiness and start creating wealth from a place of love, embodiment, and unapologetic abundance.

🙏 If this podcast touched your soul, please leave a 5-star review it helps more women around the world find this sacred space.
So I know money is one of the biggest sources of stress, shame, and silence for women.
We're taught not to talk about it, not to want it too much, and to feel guilty if we desire more.
But the truth is that money is energy. It responds to intention, to healing, and to alignment. And if you have been waiting for the right time to call abundance into your life, that time is now.
In this episode, we are gonna break free from the conditioning of scarcity, step into feminine power, and learn how to actually start manifesting money in a way that feels authentic and spiritual, not forced or fake.
This is not about wishful thinking on a vision board. We are going to rewire your energy, your beliefs, and your nervous system to become magnetic to the wealth that you deserve.
And because if you have survived heartbreak, betrayal, or trauma, you already know how powerful you are. Imagine what happens when you take that time and that same resilience and direct it towards manifesting money.
This is your chance to use your money manifestation in your life right now. So today I am super excited to welcome our expert Kat Kozad to the show.
Kat is a money manifestation and a mindset coach, host of the No Bullshit Manifestation Show, and a woman who has built her brand around radical honesty, empowerment, and unapologetic abundance. After breaking free from her own cycles of scarcity, struggle, and self-doubt, Kat now teaches thousands of women how to manifest wealth, heal their money stories, and create lives that feel as good as they look.
She blends spiritual principles with practical strategy, helping women not just dream about money, but actually receive it and keep it. And what I love about her, number one, she's from New York City. Hey, that's where my parents are at. Number two, she doesn't sugarcoat the process. She calls out the myths in the manifestation space and guides women into grounded, embodied relationships with money that are both soulful and sustainable.
Kat, welcome to the show.
Kat: Oh my goodness, thank you. What a beautiful introduction. And to just follow in with that, I think since the last time I talked to you, my podcast was called the No Bullshit Manifestation Show, but in that same theme of wealth, I've actually rebranded it to be called That's So Rich now, because it's really about like, I'm such a firm believer that every single component of our lives is manifestation. And instead of just going deep into manifestation every single conversation, now it's really about holistic wealth and being able to, like you said, not only call that wealth in, but then have it, hold it, and be the embodiment of a wealthy woman.
Host: Thanks so much for letting me know and I'm definitely gonna include her podcast in our show notes. So it's That's So Rich, huh?
Kat: Yeah, That's So Rich. It was a rebrand within the past few months.
Host: Oh, cool. OK, then I'm sorry.
Kat: Don’t be sorry. It’s cool that you’re actually breaking the bomb right here on the show, which is good.
Host: So I'm gonna include that in the show notes so people go check her out. She is amazing. I do follow her on Instagram and I get to learn a lot about my own money stories. But Kat, this is all about you, so you are the expert here. I would love to know before we dive into your manifestation and money coaching, I would start with your story. Like, can you take us back about what was the relationship with money growing up for you and if you can just share your biggest struggles that you have had.
Kat: Totally, absolutely. So I would say my story, just like all of ours, starts back in childhood. So I'm originally from a very small rural town in Colorado and growing up, I am from a household with alcohol abuse. My dad was an alcoholic and my mom wasn't a citizen of the United States. So in order to stay in the States and take care of me and my brother, she had to tolerate a lot of toxic behavior. And it's not to put it all on my dad, but the environment that I grew up in just felt very unstable. As a byproduct of that unstable and uncertain environment, I didn't know it at the time, but I felt very unsafe. And that lack of safety manifested in a lot of different ways in my relationship to myself.
First and foremost, in this way, that I put on a lot of weight when I was a kid, and weight oftentimes is used as an energetic barrier to protect us from the world. But then as an overweight kid, I was severely bullied for my appearance, which continued to pour into that lack of safety and instability in my life. In my early teen years, I found myself in the position where I was experiencing suicidal ideation for the first time. And it scared the shit out of me because on the surface level, I was the smiley, happy-go-lucky girl that was getting good grades and playing sports and doing all the quote-unquote things that you're supposed to do to be popular or at the top of your class. But internally, I was struggling so much. And that was my first introduction into the world of mindset and mindfulness and understanding the more mental-emotional relationship to my life and to my body.
But at the time, it kind of felt like just putting a band-aid over a bullet wound because there was so much trauma that I had experienced in my younger years that wasn't actually being addressed at its core. And so while that worked for a short period of time, learning these different mindfulness tools and whatnot, later in my teens, I turned to drugs and alcohol as my coping mechanism. OK, well, this isn't working anymore, let's turn to drugs and alcohol. And while it worked for a short period of time and it was fun for a short period of time, it actually just poured more gasoline on the fire and made that trauma and discomfort and instability inside of myself so much deeper.
That leads us up to about 2019. I had dropped out of college, I was working in the food and beverage industry, and I decided that I wanted a fresh start for my life. So I moved across state lines for the first time in hopes of leaving all of my bullshit in the past, moving away from all of it, and creating the life that I wanted for myself. Little did I know at the time, all of the things that I was trying to run away from were actually gonna follow me, and they were actually gonna blow up in my face, even bigger and louder than they had back at home because I no longer had those past comforts that I was holding onto at home.
And so in the spring of 2019, I found myself in my rock bottom position where I was $70,000 in debt, working 60+ hours a week in a dead-end job, living in a city that I really didn't like, and just feeling so completely hopeless and not knowing how life was going to move forward from that point. At that time, I didn't really understand my relationship to spirituality or to faith or manifestation or any of these different things, but I just started to pray. I was like, if there is something out there, please guide me. Please show me a way forward, because I do not know the way forward right now.
And it was within a matter of days, within a week or so, that intentional manifestation really started to show up in my life through podcasts, Instagram posts, books, things that I was seeing out in the community. I had absolutely no clue what it was that I was supposed to do with it, but it felt really important and like I needed to implement it into my life. So I made the promise to myself that I would take intentional manifestation and implement the principles of it into my life every single day for a year to see what would happen. Within that year, I went from $70,000 in debt, working a dead-end job, feeling completely broke, lost, and hopeless, to starting and scaling a multiple six-figure company, moving back to Colorado, buying my dream car, moving into a luxury apartment—completely 180-ing my life.
But the funny part of that 180 was that I was still so attached to the idea that money was going to be the thing that took all of my problems away. Growing up in my community, if you made six figures, you were rolling in it. You were making bank. And so in my mind, once I hit six figures, all my problems were magically gonna go away. I hit six figures and none of them went away. It was almost like, oh shit, back to the drawing board, where do I go from here? And I'd say that's where my real healing journey actually started—understanding why I put so much weight into money, why I attached my worth to it, and why I attached basically everything in my life to being financially capable. Through doing a lot of somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and other modalities, I finally found myself in the place where I felt safe, independent of anything external, while also making more money than I had ever made before without working as hard for it.
And so now, like you said, I live in Manhattan. I've been living here for the past four years. I have a coaching company where I support women in identifying which mental and energetic blockages are disconnecting them from a deep sense of safety inside themselves and being able to re-establish it. I believe that money manifestation is a natural byproduct of that. And yeah, just living the life of my dreams, to be completely honest.
Host: Wow, girl, hats off. This is amazing. And I know so many women can actually choose a different path than what you chose. You chose to completely go 180, but even then, you clearly said your problems didn't go away because the trauma was so deep within you. What I would love for you to share next is when you went 180—even though life on the outside was great—deep down you were still probably suffering. Can you share what that suffering looked like? Because for many women, they change the external reality, everything goes great, but then the same pattern, the same trauma pops up again, and they have to understand how to heal it.
Kat: Absolutely. For me personally, and this is something I see with a lot of women, I was stuck in a toxic achievement cycle with the unconscious belief that the next milestone, the next big thing, the next finish line would finally be enough. Again, I was basing my worth on that. I was basing how I felt about myself as a human being in the world on what I could accomplish, my external achievements, and what I could show as proof—like, look at me, small-town Kat Kozad now living this big life. But it was still coming from scarcity and lack. On paper, I had achieved everything: money, travel, car, luxury. But I still didn’t like who I was at the end of the day. I loved that there was money in the bank, but I still felt unfulfilled internally.
This hit hardest when I hit my first $100,000. I thought it would change things. Instead, I went into burnout for three months. I had hustled to get to that place, and nothing had changed. I felt lost. Luckily, during that time, I was introduced to my life coach, and that was my introduction to somatic healing. For those who don’t know, somatic healing identifies where you’re holding stuck or stagnant energy inside the body—whether past traumas, old emotions, or unprocessed memories—that still impact your nervous system. Although I had achieved a lot externally, I was still holding onto my past deeply. Suicidal ideation I had experienced for years was still living in my body at a cellular level. Big T trauma from my upbringing was unprocessed. Mentally, I thought I was fine, but my body was holding on. Because of that, my nervous system was still dysregulated, keeping me in the toxic achievement cycle, always thinking the next milestone would finally make me safe.
Host: Wow. For people who don’t understand the part where their trauma and identity are tied to money, how can they even witness that? How can they reflect on it?
Kat: I encourage people to start by looking at the stories they tell themselves about money. For example: if I’m making money, I’m somebody; if I’m not, I’m nobody. That’s just a story. And does that story serve you? No. Look at the energy behind the story. Is it rooted in fear or love? For me, I used to have fear-based stories. Now my story is: the more value I bring, the more money I receive. That’s rooted in love. It’s not about hustling or proving—it’s about showing up authentically and delivering value.
When you recognize something is off in yourself, ask: What is the story I’m telling? Where did it come from? Is it fear or love? If it’s fear, what am I scared of? What am I protecting myself from? That awareness is the start of change.
Host: Beautiful. Let’s talk about safety. My audience is women who have been traumatized, betrayed, and burnt out. They don’t feel safe in relationships or in life. Many are at zero financially, dependent on toxic partners. What would you say to them? How can they create safety within themselves first?
Kat: For all those women who identify with that archetype, you are not alone. Many women feel that way. First and foremost, know that. Because when you feel isolated, it’s so much harder. And when you feel isolated, it feels really challenging to change your circumstances and just knowing that you're not alone and that there are other women out there that experience that and have made it to the other side of being able to be financially independent and not only financially independent, but financially free. I think it's one of the most important things to just plug into your consciousness right here right now.
So with that being said, when it comes to internal safety, I want to break down internal safety for a second. When I say internal safety, I mean safety independent of anything external from you, because especially as women, we are conditioned to believe that in order for us to feel safe or secure, you need a certain amount of money, certain house, certain cars, certain job, certain husband or partner to look a certain way. We've been so deeply conditioned to believe that in order for me to be safe as an individual, I must outsource my power into all of these different things.
I need to hustle. I need to work hard. I need to work my ass off in order to make those things happen. I need to change who I am in order to be loved. I need to change the way that I look in order to be palatable. Whatever it may be, and recognizing that again, any of those external things are never going to bring you the level of safety or security that you think that they're going to, because those external things can be taken away from you at any point.
And just like you shared with this woman, odds are some of those things have been taken away from you, and you're feeling that lack of safety as a byproduct of it. So coming back to this place of internal safety, again, independent of anything else truly just starts with you being able to be with yourself in silence.
One of the moments when I had the realization that I had never truly felt safe in my life was one of the most jarring moments of my life thus far. I remember it so clearly. I was standing in my bathroom in Denver when I was living in Denver, Colorado. I had this moment of like, oh my God, I've never felt safe before. I've never truly felt safe in my body, in my relationships, in my finances. There was this big breakdown moment where I took a shower, cried on the floor, and did that whole thing. But after that moment, I was like, OK, where have I had glimmers of safety before?
The closest thing that I could think about at that time was when I was laying in bed in the morning. First thing when I woke up laying in bed, I felt my bed holding me. I felt my blankets over me, pillows, all of these things tucking me in and keeping me cozy. So I was like, OK, I'm gonna go to my bed, and I'm gonna lay in my bed and I'm gonna cultivate that feeling of safety by being in my bed. Once I'm there, I'm gonna start to tell myself, I am safe, I'm safe to be here. I'm safe in my body. I'm safe to experience this. Just continuing to repeat those safety affirmations because the brain doesn't know the difference between what's real and what's imagined.
When we're constantly telling ourselves these stories of, oh shoot, I'm not going to be safe until I have X amount of money in my bank account, or until this man is with me, that's what your brain believes, and that's what your brain is going to try to make happen in order for you to feel that sense of safety. Whereas coming back to this place of choosing for yourself that you are safe, especially in those environments where it feels as though it's perhaps your little sanctuary, those are really beautiful places to start to establish that sense of safety. Actually identifying as you're saying those affirmations, how do you physically feel in the body? Because as you start to physically identify the feeling of safety, then you have the ability to start to recreate it in different environments.
As you're starting to get to know that feeling of safety, again, wherever it is that you're creating it for yourself, you then go to the grocery store later that day. When you're usually freaking out about how much money you're gonna be spending on groceries, instead, you give yourself a moment to reconnect to your body, recall that sense of safety that you've learned how to establish, remind yourself of those safety affirmations, and then as you're going to pay, instead of releasing it from the energy of anxiety, you're releasing it from the energy of safety. Every single time you're interacting with money, it's an energetic exchange. That energy of safety going out by the law of attraction starts to attract more opportunities back into your life to show you how money can actually be something that is really safe.
So that's the foundation of creating internal safety that I found to be very efficient for me and for my clients. But when we go deeper into safety, like we talked about before, being able to identify these past experiences that have disconnected you from safety in the first place, and being able to not only mentally process them, but actually do the somatic work to release the cellular memory of the lack of safety or the trauma from the cellular level of your body. That's what's long term going to help regulate and heal your nervous system, so that you're naturally feeling that sense of safety on a day to day basis.
That is beautiful and I can totally echo and say that that is one of the practices that actually brought a $17,000 check for me in the last one month. Girl, yes, I love it. I was like, where did this come from? Because after my separation, right here on my bed, before I go to sleep, I would tell myself these things. My blanket is so comfortable, thank you God. I'm safe. I don't need an external person to keep me safe. I don't need somebody else. Just me being with me in my blanket, I'm safe.
I would definitely say that really worked for me and I would love for you to touch upon, you mentioned earlier about intentional manifestation, right? You talked about safety, which is great, that's the foundational step. Now we are keeping ourselves safe, we are detaching from a personal thing or money in our identity, we are trying to say, all right, no, I don't need anything else. I am safe wherever I'm at. Let's say the woman does these safety practices and now she's like, all right, I feel good, and now I need to manifest something. Please tell us about what you mean about intentional manifestation.
Absolutely. So before I go into that, I just want to hit on something for the woman who is building that sense of safety, which is that if you do not feel safe at first, that's OK. Continue to come back to the practice of it. The way that I like to see creating internal safety is kind of like going to the gym. First time you go into the gym and walk out after lifting weights, you're not gonna look in the mirror and be like, damn, I have my dream body. Maybe you will, but odds are you probably won't. It takes that time and consistency of coming back to it and building that muscle. Just see it as building a muscle, and the more that you work out that muscle, the stronger you're gonna get within it to truly feel and establish that baseline safety inside of yourself.
Which then tying into intentional manifestation, like you mentioned, that's the foundational component of it, because there's a lot of misconception out there in the world of manifestation, one of those being that you manifest what you think about. The reality is you manifest what you feel safe with. So creating that sense of safety inside of yourself is super important because if you don't feel safe with money, it's gonna be challenging to manifest the money. If you don't feel safe with yourself, it's gonna be challenging to manifest the things that you're wanting in your life because you are the center point of your manifestations.
With that being said, intentional manifestation, the reason I say intentional manifestation instead of just manifestation is because I'm a firm believer that everything in our life is a manifestation of either our unconscious, subconscious, or conscious thoughts. If everything is a manifestation, that means everything that you're looking at right now in your lives, you've manifested in some way, shape or form. Intentional manifestation is about fine-combing that and getting lasered in on what it is that you actually want for yourself and for your life. Specifically within that, identifying the beliefs, the behaviors and actions that align you with being able to have, be, or do whatever it is that you want for yourself in your life. Through recognizing yourself as the center point of your manifestations and creating this really intentional relationship with your identity and who you show up as on a day to day basis, I'm a firm believer that you can manifest anything and everything that you want as a byproduct of that.
Beautiful. That's beautiful. I want to touch base on a couple of things when it comes to money and women, and I think you also had that story. A lot of women listening to this right now grew up in homes where talking about money was shameful or even dangerous. How do we begin untangling those childhood money wounds so we stop repeating the same scarcity patterns? One, obviously you mentioned was safety, and then you said about intentional manifestation. You also mentioned about somatic healing. Anything else that you can recommend?
Yeah, absolutely. When it comes to money, I think one of the most important things is talking about it. I still think in our world, men talk about money all the time. Women still shy away from having conversations about money. So finding relationships or communities that you feel safe in that you can authentically and vulnerably express your past experiences with money, your current financial circumstances, or your financial dreams, what you want for yourself, to be able to declare that you want to be a wealthy woman, that you want to have a fuck ton of money, and not feel as though you're a bad woman for saying that. Or that, oh, I don't care about people now because I want to be wealthier, or whatever the past shame, guilt, stories are surrounding money, I think is so, so powerful. What we keep in the dark, it's hard to actually heal. Again, finding those spaces that you feel like you can have conversations about money, even if it's just whispers at first, like, hey guys, I want to make more money. Then it's like, hey guys, I've been in debt. Hey guys, I've been in X amount of debt. Hey guys, I'm still in debt. Whatever it is, being able to share and get more and more vulnerable, I think that's also a really powerful act of regulating your nervous system and retraining it to see that money and debt or the past financial circumstances that you've been in, don't actually carry as much weight or aren't as big of a burden as you might think that they are, if you keep yourself in isolation surrounding it.
Beautiful. That's beautifully said. I would love for you to say and speak about how you are very bold in calling out the BS in the manifestation space. What's one of the biggest lies you see being sold to women about money manifestation right now?
Yeah, I think the biggest lie that is being sold in the manifestation space right now is that you're blocked. There are so many conversations about like, oh you have this block, you have that block. Until you heal your blocks, you're not gonna be able to manifest what it is that you want into your life. Ultimately, at the end of the day, yes, these past experiences do weigh into somebody's ability to show up and feel confident within themselves or believe that different things are possible. But some of the most insecure people in the world make a fuck ton of money. So many people with so-called blocks are rich as can be. It's not necessarily the block that stops you, it's that these past experiences can keep fear in the driver seat. If fear is driving the car, you're not always going to be heading in the direction of your dreams. But ultimately, I don't think that you have to heal all of your limiting beliefs, or all of your past traumas in order for you to be a powerful manifester.
The sooner you run towards creating the life that you want, the sooner you will be acquainted with the limiting beliefs, fears, and doubts that try to block you, but you don't have to heal all of those things before you take action.
I can say 100% yes. As a trauma expert, I can totally say that. People think they have to do the work and then manifest, and that's not right. You can still manifest because as you're trying to manifest, those blocks are gonna come up and you will heal them along the way. But it's not that, oh my God, I have to be in therapy or I have to just heal my older wounds first and only then I can make the money. That's bullshit, big time bullshit to me.
That's great, so thank you for saying that. I may have just a few more questions for you. One of the things you touched base on was we have to hustle harder. Like women have to work more with abundance. How do you teach women to shift from really forcing to actually receiving the money, especially when survival mode feels so real, like we're always surviving, can't pay the bills, didn't pay rent. Women think they gotta hustle. But I have noticed in my life, the less I hustled, the more money I made. I remember I used to hustle and make less money, working 18 hours a day, and now I work like 4 hours a day and I make way more money. So if you can please speak to those women that still think hustle is the new thing they have to do to make money.
Totally. What I want someone who thinks that hustling is the key to making more money to recognize is that when you are hustling, you are oftentimes disconnecting yourself from your basic needs. Your need to rest, your need to eat, your need to get movement, your need to connect with other people, your need for all of these different things that actually fuel you and support you feeling like the best version of yourself, which then ultimately puts you into what ends up being burnout. So absolutely, you can hustle and you can make things happen from hustle, but ultimately hustle is not a sustainable model for long-term wealth and long-term success, because at some point you will burn out. Take it from a girl who did it one too many times.
Whereas everything that we're talking about here in terms of identifying what made you believe that you had to hustle in the first place, that's coming from the energy of fear. What are you trying to protect yourself from? Maybe that's fear of isolation, fear of not paying your rent, fear of not being good enough. Being able to identify the relationship that you're holding to yourself and to money and healing those things in the pursuit of going after your dreams and going after the wealth that you're wanting to create is key. When you're operating from a place of truly showing up and nourishing yourself, and that's gonna look different for every single person. There is not a one size fits all, and I think that the personal development community has done a really terrible job of trying to feed people a one size fits all like, do this and you're gonna feel better. Absolutely not. You need to know yourself and what works best for you.
When you are feeling nourished in mind, body and soul, you're gonna operate from inspiration. You're gonna operate from intuition. You're gonna operate from just this deeper level of wisdom, knowing, faith and trust inside of yourself. That is a far more powerful energy than hustling, forcing, making shit happen from the energy of fear that if you do not, you're not going to get what you want. Again, when we go back to what I mentioned at the beginning of this conversation, am I operating from fear or love? Hustling, odds are you're operating from fear. That energy of fear is being projected into every single thing that you do, and yes, again, you can get results from that, but they're not always going to be the results that you want.
Whereas taking what feels like the counterintuitive approach, which is knowing yourself, loving yourself, trusting yourself, and moving from inspiration and intuition and alignment, as opposed to overworking, that's when perhaps on paper it doesn't look like you're doing enough. But the energy behind what you're doing is so much more potent because it's coming from this place of love and value for yourself and for your energy in the first place. That's what I feel has really helped me break that cycle. It was terrifying at first, moving from the belief that I had to hustle into this place of like, if I just trust myself and work when I feel inspired and do the things that I'm doing from a place of devotion, that's actually going to get me the results that I want. Sure, super scary, but trusting that, following it, doing it anyways, and getting the evidence of the fact that that is what is true, it's now allowed me to step into this place that like you, at maximum, I work 4 hours a day, and I'm making more money than I was making when I was hustling the hardest in my career.
Beautiful. That's beautifully said. For the woman listening right now, who may be in debt or heartbroken, rebuilding her life from the ground up, what is the very first step that she can take today to really start shifting her money reality? From all that you have already said, which is somatic healing, safety, building your safety net, intentional manifestation, and do not hustle. Just one step that she decides today, after listening to Kat, I need to make a difference in my life. One step.
I think what initially comes up is: get radically honest with yourself. Get super honest with yourself, because most of us are really good at lying to ourselves, really good at trying to convince ourselves of a reality that isn't true, that serves the ego or fear or past versions of yourself's agenda, because that's what's known. That's what's safe. That's what you already have evidence surrounding. But if you're wanting a different financial reality for yourself, if you're wanting a different romantic reality, a different career, or a different relationship to yourself, it takes radical honesty to recognize that what you're doing right now isn't working. That's not to shame you or blame you or make you feel bad about what it is that you're doing right now, but instead to instill a sense of hope and honesty inside of yourself. In order for things to be different, you're gonna have to approach them differently.
From that place, having somebody in your corner that can support you in some way, shape, or form, whether that be a ride or die best friend that is also on her journey to rise to the top and be the best version of herself that can hold you accountable, or a coach, or a therapist, or something that holds you accountable to leveling up your standards and having a different perspective of what life can look like for you is super important.
I love that—leveling up my standards—and I am actually working on leveling up my standards. Thank you, this is great.
Last question, Kat. What would you tell your younger self if she was sitting right across the table from you about manifestation?
I would tell her you're right. My little self, she knew, she knew everything. She had this big bold spirit and fully knew that I was going to have a big life and that I'm still just getting started with what I'm manifesting, and the wealth and the abundance and the opportunities and the relationships and whatnot that I'm gonna have.
And somewhere along the way, with everything that I shared from my upbringing, I got disconnected from the fact that my spirit has always known that life is going to be epic. And so if I could go back and say anything to my younger self, it’s this: you were right. Thank you. Thank you, little girl.
That is beautifully said.
Host: Kat, where can our listeners find you? I am going to include your information in the show notes.
Kat: Beautiful. I’d say the best place to find me is over on Instagram. That’s where I’m the most active, and my handle is @caosad, which, like you said, you’ll put the spelling down below in the show notes. That’s where I’m most active. If you’re wanting to get more of what I have to offer, I also have a podcast called That’s So Rich, and that’s where you can really start to dive into everything regarding your relationship to yourself and your relationship to money. And if you’re wanting to take things further from that point and receive support, you’ll be able to find all of the information on that from the podcast or Instagram.
Host: Thank you so much, Kat, for being on our show. It was a wonderful conversation all about money manifestation, and you are a beautiful soul. Thank you. It was an honor for me to interview you.
Kat: Thank you.
Host: And for all of our listeners, always remember: metamorphosis, not medication.
If this episode spoke to you, then please give us a review on iTunes. I would really appreciate it. And if you felt something shifting in your chest or your gut, that’s not just a podcast moment—that’s your soul saying, hey, we are ready.
So head over to dimplebindra.com and take my Healing Archetype Quiz. I’m also going to add the link in the show notes. It’s going to help you understand the pattern that’s been running your life—the one you didn’t even know was there. And once you take the quiz, you’ll see a button to join the waitlist for You Are Awakening. That’s my Women’s Circle, and it’s where we do this work together with other amazing sisters.
You don’t have to heal in silence anymore. I’m so glad you’re here, and I’ll see you in the next episode.
Bye.
