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.
