For many high-achieving leaders and entrepreneurs, giving is easy. But receiving? That’s another story.

In this episode, we explore the deeper reasons why it can feel unsafe or even uncomfortable to receive or have... whether it's praise, money, rest, or joy. And it’s not just about mindset. It's about collective trauma, cultural conditioning, and nervous system wiring.

Tune in to discover:

  • Why we struggle to receive even when we’ve worked hard
  • The historical, ancestral, and psychological roots of this pattern
  • How receiving is connected to humility, safety, and self-worth
  • A powerful micro-practice to help you expand your capacity to receive, starting today

This episode is an invitation to soften, expand, and reclaim the sacred act of receiving. Not just for you, but for the generations before and after you.
