Deconstructing Your Biggest Money Fears: PART THREE

Money Fear: Fear of Shining Bright

Vulnerability and shining bright reveal the complexity of human emotions and how past experiences influence current fears. These fears can often hold us back. You have the opportunity to open yourself up to the next level of success when you stand out from the crowd. This can affect your ability to make money. 

Even with years of experience in journalism and public speaking, I fear vulnerability. In writing my book, I am experiencing feelings of insecurity and trauma due to bullying and complex PTSD. As a result of my learning disability, I felt ashamed when I received a lower grade than I expected in school. I feel these judgments rising as I write the pages of my book.  

 

Is the fear of being vulnerable holding you back from making money

Shining and Vulnerability

It brings up everyone’s deepest insecurities…I’ve coached celebrities, Emmy award-winning TV personalities, influencers, fitness cover models, and many highly accomplished doctors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs….THEY all had Visibility Meltdowns. 

It has little to do with confidence and everything to do with your childhood and young adulthood. 

For me, being raised by a narcissistic mother, I had to shine to make her look good BUT I couldn’t shine too bright or it would piss her off. Resulting in her ignoring me for days or even weeks, withholding love and affection from me. 

So, standing out was dangerous for me.

Stop blocking yourself

How this played out in my personal life, my career, and even my level of financial success will be enough to stop you in your tracks. 

Fear of being SEEN is blocking your next level of success…in Part 3 of this special 3-Part series Deconstructing your biggest fears I’ll walk you through my story along with relatable stories from several clients to help you break through this key MONEY BLOCK.

Ep 785 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART FOUR: FAWN RESPONSE

You’re doing everything right.

You’re reliable, supportive, and easy to work with. You care about people. You go above and beyond.

But when it comes to money and success… something isn’t adding up.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re giving more than you’re receiving, struggling to ask for more, or holding back your voice to keep the peace — this episode explains why.

The fawn response is one of the most overlooked patterns when it comes to money. It shows up as people-pleasing, overdelivering, avoiding conflict, and prioritizing being liked over being paid.

And it quietly caps your income, your growth, and your ability to fully step into your next level.

In this episode, I break down how the fawn response affects your financial decisions, your career or business, and your relationship with money — backed by psychology, nervous system science, and real-world patterns.

Ep 784 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART THREE: FREEZE RESPONSE

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you just can’t get yourself to sell or take action in your business… this episode will explain exactly why.

What most people label as procrastination or lack of discipline is often a nervous system response called freeze, and it quietly impacts your income more than you realize.

In this episode, I break down how the freeze response shows up specifically around money, sales, and visibility. You’ll understand why you can know exactly what to do and still not do it, how your brain is wired to avoid perceived financial risk, and why your income can stall even when you’re “doing all the right things.”

This is where neuroscience, psychology, and money behavior intersect.

Ep 783 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART TWO: FLIGHT RESPONSE

You tell yourself you’ll deal with it later.
You’ll check your numbers tomorrow.
You’ll follow up next week.
You’ll finally get clear on your money “when things calm down.”

But that moment never seems to come.
And instead… you stay busy doing everything else.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the flight response with money — the pattern that looks like procrastination, distraction, or “being busy,” but is actually your nervous system trying to avoid discomfort.

This is part of a special series on money, fear, and your nervous system, where we uncover how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses shape your income, business decisions, and ability to receive more.

Because avoiding money doesn’t mean you don’t care about it.
It usually means, on a deeper level…
it doesn’t feel safe.
