UnF*ck Your Money
Money isn’t just math.
It’s fear. Control. Safety. Worth. Power. And your nervous system knows it.
Unfuck Your Money is a no-BS, nervous-system-informed podcast for high-functioning women who are great at holding it together, yet secretly tired of bracing their way through life.
I’m Nadine. I’m not here to teach you budgets or tell you to “heal your trauma.”
I’m here to help you understand why your body reacts the way it does to money, boundaries, rest, joy, relationships, and choice.
On this podcast, we talk about:
- How money can be a safety strategy
- why responsible people struggle with ease
- over-functioning, burnout, and being “the capable one”
- boundaries that actually feel possible
- pleasure without guilt
- joy without toxic positivity
- building capacity on a nervous system level, instead of fixing yourself
This isn’t hustle culture.
It’s not toxic positivity.
And it’s definitely not “just think differently.”
It’s about learning how to feel safe enough to live a full, joyful life, money included.
If you’re done surviving…
Welcome. I hope you enjoy the show!

Traveling Through Europe on a Shoestring Budget w/ Kayla Smith
You know what? I think we all need to hear a fun, cheerful, and uplifting story from time to time.
In this week's episode, I interview a personal friend of mine, Kayla Smith.
Kayla shares her story about traveling across Europe, but what makes this story so special is that Kayla was born and raised in rural Mississippi, where the idea of traveling outside the State, let alone the country, was unheard of! Where "people like her" never owned a passport!
Kayla used her imagination and tenacity and did the unthinkable! She went from being a college grad, who never had a job or professional experience, to landing a job in ITALY! And she made that happen just through sheer determination and persistence! Kayla also recently quit her job to travel Europe full-time for 6+ months in 2022.
This story is such a treat! Kayla's sweet, kindhearted nature is surely going to make your heart smile, and her determination will reignite that fire under your arse to go after whatever it is that you want, and make it happen for you!
Episode highlights:
- How Kayla went from being fresh out of college, never having a job or professional experience 21- year old, to landing a job in ITALY!
- How having emotional support and encouragement from your family can be more important than financial support.
- How Kayla was stubborn about her goals but flexible with her methods! She kept her eye on the prize, regardless of the crazy obstacles that came in her way.
- How she healed her burnout and reconnected with what sets her Soul on fire through solo travel.
- Tips that she shared for women who desire to travel alone.
- (this is my favorite!) How she inspired her mother to also become a pattern breaker, rule breaker, and soul shaker, to get a passport, and join Kayla for parts of her European trip, creating "pinch me, is this freaking real!!" moments and memories with her mother.
I hope you love this episode as much as I do!
