Have you ever been celebrating, enjoying a beautiful moment or spending money only to have your brain suddenly interrupt with scarcity thoughts like, “You shouldn’t be spending this money,” or “You're having too much fun"?

That quick shift from joy to panic isn’t random, I believe it’s your nervous system revealing its limits around how much abundance it feels safe to hold.

In this episode, I share the hidden connection between your window of tolerance, your nervous system, and why scarcity thoughts often show up in moments of joy. You’ll learn how childhood conditioning may have wired your body to associate safety with restriction instead of expansion, and what you can do to change that.

Together we’ll explore:

  • Why your nervous system may equate safety with saving, hoarding, or limiting pleasure
  • How stored emotions in the body can trigger recurring scarcity thought loops
  • The role of your Default Mode Network vs. Task Positive Network
  • Somatic practices like emotion code, tapping, breathwork, more play, and grounding to expand your capacity for joy
  • Writing exercises to uncover limiting beliefs about money, safety, and fun
