UnF*ck Your Money
Most financial advice tells you WHAT to do.
UnF*ck Your Money explores how to do it when life, stress, fear, and overwhelm get in the way.
If information alone changed behavior, we’d all have perfect finances.
But we don’t.
Because we’re human.
We have nervous systems.
We have histories.
We have fears.
We have grief.
We have habits.
We have protective parts.
And those things show up in our bank accounts every day.
This podcast is for humans who know what to do but don’t do it. It’s about understanding what comes in their way.
Welcome to UnF*ck Your Money the podcast where go-getters learn how to create a calmer, more empowered relationship with money, themselves, and life.
Hosted by Behavioral Finance Coach & Somatic Practitioner Nadine Zumot, this podcast explores the intersection of money, behavior, nervous systems, self-trust, emotional wellbeing, and the very human reasons we struggle to follow through on what we already know would help.
So if you've ever thought:
"I know what I should be doing with money, so why can't I seem to do it?"
you're in the right place.
Through honest conversations, practical tools, nervous-system-informed education, and deeply human storytelling, Nadine helps listeners understand the emotional and behavioral patterns driving financial anxiety, emotional spending, avoidance, burnout, overgiving, and self-sabotage, so they can build financial stability without shame, overwhelm, or self criticism.
Because financial wellness isn’t just about numbers.
It’s about safety.
Capacity.
Self-trust.
And creating a life that actually feels spacious enough to enjoy.
Welcome. Enjoy the show. ♥️

Saving Money as a People Pleaser
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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
