UnF*ck Your Money
Welcome to UnF*ck Your Money, I’m so happy you’re here!
I’m Nadine, a trauma-informed Certified Money Coach® and somatic practitioner who helps folks break free from trauma-driven money patterns to transform their lives from a place of safety, self-trust, and power.
Unlike traditional money coaches who throw budgets and spreadsheets at you, I approach money at the root: your nervous system, your trauma patterns, and the deep stories you carry about worth and survival. I combine somatic experiencing, inner child work, and practical financial systems to create real, lasting change that feels good in your body (not just on paper).
I’m trained in somatic and trauma-informed modalities, and I’ve walked this path myself, breaking free from financial chaos, healing money wounds rooted in complex trauma, and creating a life of agency and abundance.
My clients don’t just learn how to “manage” money. They learn how to feel safe with it, build wealth on their terms, and reconnect with freedom, joy, and self-expression. Together, we’ve helped overspenders find peace with saving, underearners raise their prices without shame, and avoiders finally feel empowered to face their numbers with confidence.
The difference?
My work doesn’t stop at the spreadsheet. I help you rewire your nervous system, dissolve old money wounds, and build financial systems that actually honor your healing, your energy, and your desires. Because money magic is more than numbers, it’s nervous system safety, soul-level healing, and practical strategy rolled into one.
Enjoy the show!

Traveling Through Europe on a Shoestring Budget w/ Kayla Smith
You know what? I think we all need to hear a fun, cheerful, and uplifting story from time to time.
In this week's episode, I interview a personal friend of mine, Kayla Smith.
Kayla shares her story about traveling across Europe, but what makes this story so special is that Kayla was born and raised in rural Mississippi, where the idea of traveling outside the State, let alone the country, was unheard of! Where "people like her" never owned a passport!
Kayla used her imagination and tenacity and did the unthinkable! She went from being a college grad, who never had a job or professional experience, to landing a job in ITALY! And she made that happen just through sheer determination and persistence! Kayla also recently quit her job to travel Europe full-time for 6+ months in 2022.
This story is such a treat! Kayla's sweet, kindhearted nature is surely going to make your heart smile, and her determination will reignite that fire under your arse to go after whatever it is that you want, and make it happen for you!
Episode highlights:
- How Kayla went from being fresh out of college, never having a job or professional experience 21- year old, to landing a job in ITALY!
- How having emotional support and encouragement from your family can be more important than financial support.
- How Kayla was stubborn about her goals but flexible with her methods! She kept her eye on the prize, regardless of the crazy obstacles that came in her way.
- How she healed her burnout and reconnected with what sets her Soul on fire through solo travel.
- Tips that she shared for women who desire to travel alone.
- (this is my favorite!) How she inspired her mother to also become a pattern breaker, rule breaker, and soul shaker, to get a passport, and join Kayla for parts of her European trip, creating "pinch me, is this freaking real!!" moments and memories with her mother.
I hope you love this episode as much as I do!
