In this bonus episode, Ash shares a behind-the-scenes sneak peek from The Regulated Woman—and it lands perfectly inside the Energy Is Everything Series because it speaks to something many of us feel but rarely name:
Your relationship with money isn’t just about what you earn…
It’s about what you believe, what you fear, what you expect, and what you allow yourself to receive.
This episode is not a “high-vibe only” conversation. It’s a grounded, honest reframe: money responds to your energy—not your perfection.
What this episode is really about
If money has ever felt like:
- something you can’t hold onto
- something you don’t trust
- something that brings stress instead of safety
- something you secretly resent (even when you want more of it)
…this episode offers a different approach.
Ash invites you to treat money like a relationship—because energetically, it behaves like one.
When money feels unwelcome, unsafe, judged, or clung to… the flow gets distorted.
When money feels respected, appreciated, and allowed to move… the flow opens.
Money is neutral (and that changes everything)
One of the most powerful truths in this episode:
Money is not good or bad. It’s neutral.
The meaning we attach to money is what gives it power:
- fear
- scarcity
- shame
- control
- “more money, more problems”
- “I’m bad with money”
- “it never stays”
When money becomes emotionally charged, it stops feeling like a tool—and starts feeling like a threat.
And when money feels like a threat… your nervous system responds accordingly.
This episode offers a gentle return to neutrality:
Money comes. Money goes. It moves. It circulates. It’s energy.
The river metaphor: where are you damming the flow?
Ash uses a visual that makes money dynamics easy to understand:
Money is like a river.
A healthy river:
- flows freely
- gives and receives
- nourishes everything it touches
But when you:
- grip it
- hoard it
- fear spending
- panic receiving
- brace for it to disappear
…it’s like you’re damning the river, creating stagnation instead of circulation.
And on the opposite side—spending without consciousness, dissociation, or self-trust can also disrupt flow.
The goal isn’t “spend wildly” or “spend nothing.”
The goal is flow with awareness.
A key reframe: money flows where it feels welcomed
Ash shares a belief that changed her money reality:
Money shows up where it feels welcomed, valued, and appreciated.
Not because you have to be happy all the time.
Not because you have to “stay high vibe.”
But because gratitude and safety are energetic signals.
If the dominant signal you’re sending is:
- fear
- resentment
- distrust
- guilt
- shame
- tight control
…money feels like it has no place to land.
Three micro-shifts to align your energy with wealth
This episode is full of practical, nervous-system-friendly ways to shift your money relationship—without forcing toxic positivity.
1) Raise your receiving vibration
Many women block money not by refusing to make it…
…but by resisting receiving it.
This can look like:
- discomfort when someone pays for lunch
- guilt when a client pays in full
- fear when money comes in easily
- inability to celebrate financial wins
Practice receiving.
Not just “thank you” as words—thank you as a felt experience.
Mini exercise: Close your eyes and imagine money coming to you from unexpected places.
Notice what happens in your body: openness, excitement, discomfort, tightness?
That’s your current receiving baseline—and you can gently expand it.
2) Spend as an energetic investment
Ash invites you to reframe spending as a signal to abundance:
Instead of “this is an expense,” try:
“This is a seed I’m planting.”
Examples:
- mentorship/support
- therapy or healing
- groceries that nourish you
- home upgrades that create safety
- gifts given with love
Spending with intention tells your system:
“I trust circulation.”
“I trust return.”
“I trust support.”
3) Practice neutrality around money
This is the anchor.
Money isn’t the villain.
Money isn’t the savior.
Money is energy.
A powerful prompt from the episode:
List the emotions you associate with money—then ask:
“What would it feel like to experience money without this charge?”
Neutrality creates space.
Space creates flow.
Why this matters: your energy shapes how money moves
The takeaway is simple, but deeply transformative:
Your energy shapes how money flows into and through your life.
Not just your actions—your relationship.
This episode is an invitation to:
- notice your grip
- soften your fear
- expand your capacity to receive
- celebrate what comes in
- release meaning that keeps money “loaded”
- open more channels for wealth to meet you
Because money is available.
And flow is learnable.
xx, Ash
