Hooo, boy, just reading about somatic reactions to money gives me a somatic reaction to money. I’ve long known just how messed up my relationship to it is - including, my fellow raised-by-Mormon writer, that little three -chambered bank with “for the Lord” “For my Mission” and “For Myself.” Talk about instilling a scarcity mindset...

Ironically, I now work in nonprofit fundraising- which they say is all about relationships and stories but is really just about money. I’m dealing with the fear - mental and somatic - of feeding my soul, which longs for creative independence and commerce, not capitalism, but abandoning the comfortable small-but-regular paycheck that has finally taken me up to being able to pay bills regularly.

I like the “I’m figuring this out” mantra. And kudos for having the difficult conversations.
