What To Do When the People in Your Life Don’t Fully Support or Understand Your Dreams and Desires, How to Help Get Them on Board, and Who to Remove from Your Life, with Guest, Dr. Morgan Anderson, Clinical Psychologist and Relationship Coach EP119

One of the biggest challenges ambitious dreamers face is building their dreams with little to no support from the people in their lives. Sometimes the people in our lives who are supposed to support us the most become our biggest roadblocks to achieving our dreams.

I remember when I started telling the humans in my life that I was going to start a business on the side while working in my pharmaceutical sales career, and as soon as I could match my salary I was going to quit and leave that corporate grind behind.

Wow! I wasn’t expecting what came out of the people’s mouths that “loved me.” All but one person close to me were in total resistance and negativity about me going after my dream to be financially free AF working for my self. And I wasn’t even asking them for a dime!!!!!

Obviously I went after my dreams anyway but I would be lying if I told you it didn’t slow me down and make me doubt my self a little.

I have a relentless personality, and I know not everyone is wired this way…. so this type of negative response and lack of support form loved ones stops millions of women from going after their dreams every day. And I’m fucking sick of it!

So I brought on a doctor and relationship coach to teach us all how to navigate the people in our lives who are negative and unsupportive.

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.
