I'm Peggy Van de Plassche, and after two decades in the financial services and tech industries, I discovered the transformative power of mushrooms for mental wellness and peak performance. This revelation led to the creation of "The Microdose Diet" protocol, a game-changer for personal and professional growth. Dive in to explore more!

Imagine a life without financial anxiety. Where waking up doesn’t bring that lurking worry about bills, savings, or “what-ifs.” A life where you don’t feel held back by old financial patterns you didn’t even know were there. That’s what we’re diving into this week, and it’s my absolute pleasure to introduce you to Timea Nagy, a true force of nature and today’s guest on our podcast. We’re exploring a groundbreaking topic with her: healing financial trauma.

Timea isn’t just talking finance as we know it—she’s helping others heal from generational, cultural, and deeply rooted money-related trauma. Her journey from intense hardship to financial empowerment is both inspiring and eye-opening, and she’s here to shed light on how our past financial experiences impact our lives today.

??So What’s Financial Trauma?

It’s a term you might not hear often, but the effects are real and profound. Financial trauma shows up as stress, sleepless nights, fear, even physical symptoms—all tied to money. Research even suggests it mirrors PTSD in many ways, bringing up deep feelings of anxiety, depression, and unworthiness, especially around financial matters. But the surprising part? Financial trauma doesn’t just happen overnight. It’s often deeply embedded in our subconscious, built from childhood and, in some cases, passed down through generations.

??Takeaway #1: How Our Early Money Beliefs Are Formed

Everything you learned about money, you learned before the age of seven. Growing up, the conversations (or lack thereof) around money in our households set up our subconscious beliefs. Did your family avoid talking about money? Or perhaps they had a scarcity mindset, expressing fears about having "enough" to survive? These early messages build the basis for how we relate to money today, often without us realizing it.

Action Step: Take a moment to reflect on the language and attitudes around money you experienced in childhood. Write down what you remember hearing or feeling about money. Recognizing these patterns is the first step in reshaping them.

?? Takeaway #2: Recognizing Financial Trauma’s Physical Impact

When we experience money stress, it’s not just mental—it’s deeply physical. Timea shared how financial trauma is often stored in our nervous system, creating a cycle of worry and stress that prevents us from thinking clearly. When you’re in that state, it’s difficult to see solutions or feel hopeful. It’s not just in your head; financial trauma sends stress hormones throughout your body, keeping you stuck in a fight-or-flight mode.

Action Step: Try a grounding technique when you feel financial stress building up. Whether it’s taking a few deep breaths, going for a quick walk, or simply closing your eyes and focusing on your breath, these small actions can help break the cycle of stress and bring your body back to a state where you can think more clearly.

???Takeaway #3: Going Deep—Self-Discovery as the Key to Healing

Timea explains that to truly heal, we need to dig deep and uncover our inner beliefs about money and self-worth. This journey involves looking back at what we inherited from our families, our cultures, and our personal experiences. And here’s the amazing part: once you see these patterns for what they are, you can begin to change them.

Action Step: Start a simple journal practice. When a financial worry comes up, note down the thoughts and emotions it brings up. Then ask yourself, “Is this belief really true, or is it something I’ve learned?” Often, we find that our fears don’t reflect the reality of our financial situation—they’re echoes from the past.

So, Where Do We Go from Here? For many, the path to financial freedom doesn’t start with making more money. It starts with healing the internal barriers to feeling deserving, secure, and empowered around money.

In the words of Timea, “The root of all evil isn’t money; it’s unresolved trauma.” This is why her work goes beyond budgeting or financial tips. It’s about healing and self-awareness. And the good news? There are many ways to heal. Timea recommends exploring avenues like cognitive therapy, somatic therapy, or even working with a financial trauma specialist.

Upcoming Opportunity: Timea’s Trauma Lab If this resonates with you, I highly recommend checking out Timea’s new course, Trauma Lab. Releasing this week, it’s designed as the foundation for anyone who wants to understand their financial trauma and take actionable steps toward healing. (And don’t worry—no previous experience with trauma work required.)

Ready to start a new chapter? As Timea says, “Life doesn’t have to be so difficult.” The first step is to believe that real change is possible.
