Money is usually discussed in terms of numbers, strategy, and spreadsheets. But we rarely talk about what money actually feels like in the body.
In this episode of Music Is Therapy, Hesta Prynn sits down with Kate Northrup, best-selling author and creator of Relaxed Money, to explore why money is a nervous system experience rather than a math problem.
Recording from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland—surrounded by world leaders and billionaires—Hesta shares a raw, personal look at her own relationship with wealth. From the "Rick Ross" Porsche strategy to the yacht fantasies that mask deep-seated insecurities, this episode pulls back the curtain on why high-achieving people continue to feel anxious, even when they're winning on paper.
This conversation reframes abundance as a state you practice internally, proving that you can't buy your way into feeling safe—you have to regulate your way there.
In this episode, we dive into:
The Nervous System of Wealth: Why your body doesn’t understand your bank balance—it only understands safety. The Porsche Paradox: Hesta’s candid story about trying to outrun financial anxiety in a luxury SUV. The Responsibility Trap: Why worrying feels like "productive work" while it’s actually keeping you financially stuck. Childhood Blueprints: How early conditioning and survival responses are still making your adult money decisions. The Magnetism of Calm: Why pressure, urgency, and the "hustle" often repel the very abundance you’re chasing. Safety First: Practical ways to signal safety to your body so you can think clearly and act from power, not fear. This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why more money hasn’t led to more calm—and what to do instead.
