You Don’t Have a Money Problem… You Have a Self-Trust Problem (Ep 95)
About this episode
Have you ever looked at your bank account and thought…
“I’m doing okay… so why doesn’t it feel like enough?”
In this episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Monteiro dives deeper into one of the most overlooked truths about money:
Financial stress isn’t always about money—it’s about self-trust.
So many women are responsible, capable, and earning well… yet still feel anxious, restricted, or disconnected when it comes to their finances. And that’s not a budgeting issue—it’s a deeper emotional and psychological pattern.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why making more money doesn’t automatically create peace
• The difference between control and true financial security
• How your nervous system shapes your relationship with money
• Why budgeting can feel restrictive (and what to do instead)
• How shame and past experiences impact financial confidence
• Simple ways to start rebuilding trust with yourself
This conversation will help you shift from managing money with stress and pressure… to approaching it with clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
Because it’s not just about what you earn.
It’s about how you feel.
