Welcome To The Hey Nadz Show: UnF*ck Your Money

You’re smart. Capable. Self-aware. So why does money still feel… chaotic?

In this episode, we’re unpacking something most high-achievers struggle with: Doing well in life… but not feeling fully in control of their money

If you’ve ever found yourself:

  • avoiding your finances
  • overthinking every decision
  • swinging between “I’ve got this” and “what am I doing?”
  • or spending in ways that don’t feel aligned

You’re not alone! 

In this episode, I walk you through 6 common patterns I see in high-achievers, and what they’re actually trying to protect.

💛 Inside this episode:

You’ll learn:

  • Why avoidance around money isn’t laziness
  • How emotional spending is often a form of self-regulation
  • The hidden cost of overgiving and people-pleasing
  • Why rigid budgeting backfires
  • How guilt and shame can drive your financial decisions

 A note on Money Archetypes

This work is inspired by the Money Archetypes framework developed by the Money Coaching Institute and taught by my mentor, Debra Price.

Bring me one pattern; overworking, overspending, people-pleasing, control, avoidance, not being able to rest, or whatever keeps showing up and stressing you out.

In one focused 60-minute session, we’ll crack it open: what keeps it going, what it may be doing for you, how this pattern is also affecting your finances, and what needs to shift so you can start doing things differently.

And because I love a good bargain, occasionally, there will be a 20% off listener code hidden inside some episodes. So make sure you listen for them 😉


This work is not a substitute for therapy or trauma treatment. My work is trauma-sensitive, somatic-informed coaching designed to support post-traumatic growth through greater self-trust, choice, and aliveness.
