In this deeply human and healing episode of the Wealth Witches Podcast, Katelyn sits down with bestselling author and nervous system specialist Sheridan Ruth. Together, they explore the body-based foundations of true financial clarity and why regulation, not just budgeting, might be the missing piece in your money journey.

Sheridan opens up about her personal path, including a diagnosis of ADHD, navigating grief, and her lived experience with alopecia and trauma. From there, the conversation moves into powerful, grounded tools for listeners to tune into their bodies, reduce money anxiety, and finally stop collapsing into shame spirals around finances.

Whether you’re neurodivergent, healing from trauma, or just feeling stuck in scarcity cycles, Sheridan offers a radically compassionate approach to reconnect with your inner wisdom, make more aligned decisions, and create sustainable success in business and life.

Key Takeaways

• How tuning into your body (not your bank balance) can reduce money anxiety
• Why nervous system regulation helps you make better financial decisions
• How ancestral and childhood experiences shape our money stories
• Why processing shame requires compassion, not just somatic techniques
• How to identify the parts of you that resist growth and work with them instead of against them
