Back to Episodes#127 Rewiring Money Anxiety: From Scarcity to Safety in Identity
Description
Money anxiety isn’t solved by more zeros. Learn why your nervous system still braces for collapse — and how identity-level recalibration creates lasting financial peace.
Why do you still feel unsafe, even when the numbers say you should be fine?
For high-capacity humans, money anxiety often outlives the circumstances that caused it. The nervous system stores financial fear the same way it stores trauma. Which means even after provision comes, your body may still brace as if collapse is inevitable.
In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks how money anxiety is more than financial — it’s physiological. Through her own story of rebuilding after the 2008 crash, she shares how even seasons of abundance were haunted by fear, and why the nervous system carries old stories forward.
You’ll also hear about Suze Orman, the financial expert who openly admits that scarcity scripts lingered long after her success. Her story reveals what many overlook: provision doesn’t bring peace if the body is still bracing.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why money anxiety lingers, even in abundance
- How your nervous system tags financial fear as survival
- Why strategies like budgeting and visualization often fall flat
- How ILR differs from trauma therapy: addressing identity so healing can last
- A practical 3-step practice to begin rewiring your nervous system’s relationship with money
- Why alignment, not accumulation, creates lasting safety
Today’s Micro Recalibration:
“What story is my body carrying about money — and what new truth could my body learn to believe?”
If money anxiety has been stealing your peace, this episode reminds you: you are not broken. You are human. And your nervous system can be rewired through identity-level recalibration — the tool that makes every other tool effective.
