UnF*ck Your Money
Most financial advice tells you WHAT to do.
UnF*ck Your Money explores how to do it when life, stress, fear, and overwhelm get in the way.
If information alone changed behavior, we’d all have perfect finances.
But we don’t.
Because we’re human.
We have nervous systems.
We have histories.
We have fears.
We have grief.
We have habits.
We have protective parts.
And those things show up in our bank accounts every day.
This podcast is for humans who know what to do but don’t do it. It’s about understanding what comes in their way.
Welcome to UnF*ck Your Money the podcast where overwhelmed high-achievers, overgivers, and anxious humans learn how to create a calmer, more empowered relationship with money, themselves, and life.
Hosted by Behavioral Finance Coach & Somatic Practitioner Nadine Zumot, this podcast explores the intersection of money, behavior, nervous systems, self-trust, emotional wellbeing, and the very human reasons we struggle to follow through on what we already know would help.
So if you've ever thought:
"I know what I should be doing with money, so why can't I seem to do it?"
you're in the right place.
Through honest conversations, practical tools, nervous-system-informed education, and deeply human storytelling, Nadine helps listeners understand the emotional and behavioral patterns driving financial anxiety, emotional spending, avoidance, burnout, overgiving, and self-sabotage, so they can build financial stability without shame, overwhelm, or hustle.
Because financial wellness isn’t just about numbers.
It’s about safety.
Capacity.
Self-trust.
And creating a life that actually feels spacious enough to enjoy.
Welcome. Enjoy the show. ♥️

The Art of Money w/ Bari Tessler
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
My guest this month needs no introduction!
Bari is one of the OGs in the financial wellness industry. Her book The Art of Money changed my life when I read it a few years ago.
Back in the day, when all the info you would find on finances and money was written from a perspective of "do this, not that", discipline and restriction-based, Bari was one of the first people to introduce money as a self-care practice.
Her book offers such a beautiful standpoint on money, finances, and how it can how it blends in to help you create a life you love.
In this episode, we dive into:
- The genesis of Bari's very unique perspective on money management.
- How your small, intangible, unquantifiable money wins that seem simple, like not freaking out when you are paying the bills, are as important as the tangible wins because one will lead to the other.
- Why more money does NOT necessarily mean your financial anxiety will be gone, and why some of our clients might experience MORE anxiety when they start earning more.
- How financial ups and downs are natural and even normal, and how expecting your finances or your net worth to keep going up, is unrealistic!
I hope you enjoy this interview!
