What is the real cost of ignoring your intuition?
In this deeply reflective episode of She Invests Intuitively, Katie Carey shares the quiet turning point that changed her relationship with money forever.
Not through hustle or strategy, but through nervous system awareness, emotional healing, and self-trust.
Set in real time, this episode traces Katie's journey back to 2019, a year where life looked "fine" on the surface running a charity, trying to save a marriage, doing meaningful work - yet her body was exhausted, money felt heavy, and her nervous system was constantly braced.
This was the year she discovered Denise Duffield-Thomas's Money Bootcamp, not as a financial strategy, but as an awakening to the emotional and somatic patterns driving her money decisions.
From there, Katie went on to study EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), uncovering a truth many women quietly live with: money isn't the problem - the nervous system is.
In this episode, you'll explore:
• Why money can feel unsafe even when it's coming in
• How overgiving, responsibility, and self-worth become entangled
• The somatic cost of staying longer than your body can tolerate
• Why intuitive investing often begins during moments of financial collapse
• How listening to yourself is always less costly than ignoring your inner truth.
This is an episode for women who are done overriding their bodies, done dismissing intuition, and ready to build a relationship with money that includes safety, rest, and ease.
Katie also shares how, after being ill-health retired and living on welfare, she continued to invest in herself intuitively - not recklessly, but with deep inner alignment - laying the foundations for what would later become Soulful Valley.
