financial abuse

Healing from financial abuse or trauma can feel scary. Our nervous system may have been used to being hypervigilant and disempowered around money due to generational trauma and not understanding our neurodivergence. Many of us don't understand the energy of money, and so much shame can be attached to our sense of self, self-worth and our unconscious relationship to money.

This week's episode features the incredible Catherine Morgan, a multi-award-winning qualified Financial Adviser, Certified Financial Coach, Financial Abuse Specialist ®, Inherited family trauma healer, and financial therapist who specialises in helping women feel more deserving of holding money through somatic, therapeutic, and practical tools. Catherine is on a mission to reduce financial anxiety and increase financial empowerment & resilience for 1 million people worldwide.

In this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Catherine and Kate speak about:

• The connection between your nervous system and your wealth
• Why practising gratitude can increase your ability to hold money
• How to explore your past family trauma around money
• Letting go of old beliefs you have about your ability to make money
• Catherine's mission is to empower women to hold and attract wealth
• How Catherine came to her diagnosis of ADHD
• Understanding our financial core beliefs and healing for the next generation
• Using somatic practices to heal from financial trauma
• Her inspiring journey to want to help women with their finances
