The Lean Life Podcast l Episode 5: Money Is Energy: Rewiring Your Relationship with Wealth
Money is more than numbers—it’s patterns, emotions, and energy. In this episode of The Lean Life Podcast, I sit down with Michelle Woerdeman for a powerful, honest conversation about what it really means to heal your relationship with money from the inside out. Michelle shares her journey from traditional financial planning into mindset and holistic coaching, and the pivotal moment she realized money is deeply tied to our nervous system, beliefs, and lived experiences. We dive into the money stories we carry, how they’re formed, and how they quietly shape the way we earn, spend, save, and hold onto money. This episode unpacks the concept of money as energy in a grounded, tangible way—what it feels like in the body, how stress and safety play a role, and why so many people feel stuck in cycles they can’t quite explain. Michelle also shares the most common money blocks she sees, where they come from, and how they show up in everyday behaviors. We move into practical, empowering tools you can start using right away—from mindset shifts to nervous system regulation practices like journaling, EFT, and mindfulness—to help you create a more aligned, supportive relationship with money. We also cut through the noise. With so much conflicting advice around saving, spending, and investing, this conversation brings clarity to what actually matters and how to move forward without overwhelm or shutdown. One of the most powerful moments in this episode is the connection between money, food, and body. We explore the parallels between control, restriction, guilt, and safety—and how healing in one area can create ripple effects across your entire life. We close with grounded, actionable insight and a simple but powerful mindset shift you can carry with you moving forward. If you’ve ever felt stuck, behind, or disconnected when it comes to money, this episode will help you feel more aware, empowered, and supported in creating a new way forward.
