The Magic of Somatic Money: Recent Episodes
Dana Stovern
Welcome to the Magic of Somatic Money podcast! A place where we’ll explore what it means to cultivate your body-based money relationship to improve the health of your personal finances and business connections.
When I met with Lynne, a professional psychic in Southern California, we knew that adding anything heavy to her already heavy debt load would cause more damage than help. So we took the middle ground of acknowledging the tasks at hand, and then I began to share with her the ins-and-outs of the more magical tools of applying Somatic Money processes to debt management.
What is key to understand here is that the toxic financial patriarchal mode of "just logistically assess your debt and get to it with a payment plan" is an outdated model that leaves so many people emotionally isolated with low hope and high anxiety. We don't do that in this recording. Instead, where the Masculine Money IQ logistics of debt management end is just the beginning of the magical EQ emotionally intelligent work that also leaves the door open for Universal money magic to happen.
I share with Lynne (and you), how this works AND I share my personal STORIES as well as a few anonymous client stories as examples of what is possible when you apply Masculine Money IQ + Feminine Money EQ + the MAGIC of Spirit World working in unison with you. Consider this a recording outlining the reverse engineering of the treasure hunt to pay off debt. I can't wait for you to listen in!

What a great Somatic Money session showing the groundwork about how to integrate your basic EQ-Somatic Money Practice into your IQ-bookkeeping! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with so that we can display the ground floor basics of applying practical steps in the Somatic Money practice for money! Karen, a Freedom Facilitator Coach with a background in massage, NLP and breathwork, comes to us from Ontario, Canada. And Karen courageously stepped onto the podcast stage with me while having no background in Somatic Money, but a huge need to get a grasp on her money relationship for better money management. What we did in this session, though simple and basic, was life-changing for Karen and re-arranged her foundation of approaching her money – in a good way. This work set her up to engage with the life-long money blocks that have always deterred her from her money. AND it helped her get to the good stuff . . . money management, investing and a much more empowered feeling with her money! This trailer-podcast shares the first nine minutes of the session.

This podcast turned out to be a precious surprise! When Natasha, a multi-life intuitive and para-educator joined me from western Washington, I just thought we were doing a general Somatic Money session. That was not to be the case. During our work together, Natasha courageously revealed that she's been dealing with dyslexia scrambling her money relationship for her entire life! Wow! As she spoke about her challenges in working with money through her dyslexia (both letters and numbers getting visually scrambled, making it difficult to calculate numbers for bill-paying and budgeting) I was absolutely mind-boggled by how dyslexia adds a whole other level of stress to what is an already challenging relationship with money. Through the course of our discussion, and then intuitive session with Natasha's Spirit Team, we arrived into four practical, grounded and tactile things Natasha can do with her money to become more functional and successful in her financial journey. This is such a rich listen for all of us, filled with financial empathy, compassion AND practical somatic insights for those EQ-visually challenged with money. ***The recording here is a sample of the full 52-minute recording which is available for purchase at: https://the-magic-of-somatic-money.mybigcommerce.com/podcast-25-dyslexia-money-somatics/
Your investment in this work is financial and energetic support for this programming. Thank you.
For the last episode of Season Two, I shared a delightful connection with Liz, a food scientist and somatic healer in London, United Kingdom. When we finally stopped laughing long enough to get down to the business at hand, Liz's Spirit Team guided us into the deep end of the Somatic Money pool with trust and money. That's a very big topic for so many of us HSP's or sensitives, who might not necessarily feel comfortable with money in the first place. But given that Liz really has a handle on her foundational presence practice with money, her Spirit Team seemed to think that dropping this next big juicy practice is the way to go. I hope you join us for some laughs, some great insights, and a very leveraged presence practice with money. Stay tuned for changes coming at the top of Season Three here at The Magic of Somatic Money. www.somaticmoney.com
During the depths of winter, I recorded this Somatic Money session with Meredith, a therapist, from Idaho. The session was thick with concept and symbolism relating to the Four Sacred Money Elements (that you may find briefly outlined in my book). It's one of the first times I've publicly shared more in-depth information about the model and it's embodied money elements (I'm hoping to produce the program on it this year). During the session, through Spirit Team's guidance, Meredith and I visited about how our money relationship is affected by the directness or indirectness of our paths; and how our inner connective energy levels with structure affect our finances. It's a fascinating listen and one that I hope connects some of your money relationship dots! www.somaticmoney.com
We reconnect in Part Two with Cherry, a title researcher from the Colorado Western Slope, to find out how she's doing with her initial steps in her Somatic Money presence practice. This second session with Cherry reveals what it is truly like to be in the unfolding of an embodied money presence practice, a step-at-a-time, into unknown territory to reclaim financial space. One of the things Cherry experienced in this landscape was her financial trigger zone -- something all of us encounter, at one time or another, with our money relationship. In this episode, Cherry was courageous enough to stay present with herself and with me in this space to break through her financial trigger zone so that she can create better groundwork for her financial structures. This is a great episode to understand how easily we're (emotionally) deterred from our book keeping, and the steps we can take to reclaim this valuable space. Listen in! www.somaticmoney.com
We're beginning the 2023 Somatic Money Coaching Podcast roster with my guest, Cherry, a title researcher from the Colorado Western slope. And what I absolutely love about this podcast session is that it touches on the very BASICS of Somatic Money in a real-life way -- especially about beginning to build out your Somatic Money vessel. Tune in to pick up some great tips and even a few insights that might give you a revolution in your own money relationship. Also, at the top of the session I share on the big news for Somatic Money coming into 2023. We're going to be doing some great things here this year! www.somaticmoney.com
This week we break from the on-air Somatic Money coaching sessions to visit with Sarah Poet, coach for the embodied feminine and masculine, and her work with Structure and Flow. What does structure and flow have to do with money? It has everything to do with how you create your inner and outer world structures with money and experience financial flows. Join us and listen in with Poet as she describes this significant system she's developed that can give you clarity, leverage and direct steps to identify and implement your personal structure and flow systems to augment your daily life. To connect with Poet and join her current 12-week Structure and Flow live program, please go to https://www.sarahpoet.com/structureandflow.

PART TWO OF TWO WITH ANNIE: We rejoin the second part of the conversation with Annie, EFT Practitioner from France, where she shares with us insights about pleasure and money. The second chakra (the energy center right below the navel in our bodies), houses the dynamics of sacred lovemaking, co-creation, pro-creation and the interactions of money and finance. Because of this, there is an intrinsic connection between the pleasures we experience in the bedroom and how that relates to our experiences in our businesses and with our bank accounts. Tune in for a fascinating listen. To learn more about this podcast, Somatic Money or to become a guest, please click here: https://www.somaticmoney.com/somatic-money-podcast/
PART ONE OF TWO WITH ANNIE: In my first recorded podcast since September 2022, we hit it out of the park with Annie, an EFT practitioner in France, who was not only interested in working with the next steps in building her inner personal financial practices, but also in discussing the powerful connection between personal pleasure of the second chakra and money relationship. In Part One of this recording we focus on Somatic Money coaching for Annie which was all about the connection between the throat chakra and value; support with Masculine Money; and the deeper work of the vulnerability of the ask. Join us for an invaluable excavation connecting key aspects of the money relationship for profound insights of financial healing. Stay tuned as I'll be releasing Part Two soon which houses the discussion Annie and I have about money and the second chakra.
Where was I for much of the autumn of 2022? Why did I disappear from this podcast platform? I was deep in an unplanned six-week spiritual initiation process with the next levels of Somatic Money information, experiences and spiritual development. While my initiation was definitely for me, it was very clear through the experience that it was also to share highlights of the information with greater audiences for deeper understandings of body-based money relationship. Join me in the short podcast to learn more about what happened during my initiation and what this means for Somatic Money and you. ("Initiation" is a spiritual experience giving a person insights, information and energies, as well as activating the person into new levels and paths of living). www.somaticmoney.com
We rejoin Season Two of the Somatic Money Coaching Podcast after an unexpected and unavoidable "Spiritual Initiation" hiatus. This session was recorded mid-September 2022 with Nicole from Toronto, Canada, who works a corporate position while also cultivating her practices as both yoga instructor and tantra practitioner. The depth and breadth of our collective spiritual background allowed us to rapidly take our conversation into the deep end of the Somatic Money pool. When we returned through the other side we had courageously tackled and worked with: 1. Inner child money relationship practices. 2. System-interrupting money triggers and 3. Breaking through past Colonial money coding issues. Yes, we had a delicate and powerful conversation about Post-Colonial money issues in our modern world. Every Somatic Money Coaching Podcast is unique and worth listening to, but I think you'll find this one especially riveting and valuable. And if you'd like to join Dana in future podcasts as a guest, please apply here.
We're beginning Season Two of this Somatic Money coaching podcast series with a break from the regular action with Dana Stovern going solo for the first time! Stovern will be kicking off the season with a private talk about what it means to shift your money work from the "dreaded budget" into working with your money in your Sacred Money Exchange Space. While the money budget space is an important part of your money relationship, but usually a very traditional take on money, it's missing a few critical components that might be keeping you from feeling like you're having a healthy and whole experience with your money. The Sacred Money Exchange Space that Stovern will sketch for you will give you a greater sense of your sovereign wholeness with money that you might not have been able to experience before. This will begin to give you a gateway to regularly practice a new way into money empowerment. And if you'd like to join Dana in future podcasts as a guest to visit about your budget, please apply as a guest here.
We're returning after a summer break to open the autumn Somatic Money podcast season with a powerful guest, Sarah Poet, and our paired expertise to bring you groundbreaking work: "Breaking Through the Toxic Financial Patriarchy." Sarah Poet is founder and coach of Embodied Breath at www.sarahpoet.com who is supporting women in rebalancing their feminine and masculine archetypes in self coming out of the patriarchy. In this podcast, Poet vulnerably and courageously shares in session about her past and current financial journey in light of surviving incest. We tackle her big issue of reviving her financial cash flow after her recent experiences of being spiritually required to reveal inner-family toxic secrets to family members for greater family survival. The work Sarah took from this session she was able to immediately apply and she confirmed experiencing the initial return of cash flow as well as a feeling of more solidly embodying her personal and professional space. Please note, in this audio we discuss disturbing information in an effort to create greater education among this listenership about breaking through toxic shadow patterns for greater personal liberation.
Returning to visit with past guests Jocey and Heidi was more rich than I could have anticipated. We confirmed what was working for both women: with Jocey some big wins and with Heidi the practice kept her afloat during deep "wopper-tunities." AND, with both ladies, we peeled back even more layers of the money relationship to explore at deeper levels. These are two great conversations to pick up more tidbits about the body-based money relationship practice. And as an end note, after my conversation with Heidi, she continued her practice and received a random check from the Universe that paid in excess for the water heater that she needed to replace!
It was such a delight to work together with Katherine, an e-commerce entrepreneur from Atlanta, Georgia. What began as a typical body-based money relationship conversation rapidly turned into something a little more activated with our Spirit Business Teams weighing in about having Katherine do an energy clearing for her office. Their strong suggestion intimated that this clearing would have a powerful impact for her and her business functionality. Tune in and listen to the serious depth of the work and the joyous laughter of some great a-ha moments. *Caution. I swear a couple of times and forgot to bleep it out.
You know that saying, "God laughs while she/he/they's making other plans." Yeah. That one. Well, just about when I began to really get my groove on here and line up the rhythms of my weekly podcasts, BLAM! The Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe. And try as I might, I have not been able to make my body edit the regularly scheduled audio and line up the Somatic Money Coaching Podcast for this week. Can't do it.
Instead of forcing myself, this is where it's time to walk my talk and listen to what my body is telling me. It's time to put down the agenda and allow myself to grieve and rage, as I reel from this change in our social fabric, in the fabric of my own body, like so many other millions of women in America are experiencing too. If you are experiencing this, I am with you. This is totally the time to feel our feels -- the fear, the sadness the outrage, through such a visceral and significant loss. This is such an important step.
It is going to take some time to get through this and find our way. To process what we're feeling and create some tangible path where we know we can re-engage and begin to recover in the aftermath of this great loss -- and eventually pave a way to recreate something even better than what we had before. Truly, deep down, I feel the power of the rise of the Phoenix is possible here, to rewrite a new code into laws that is more whole and powerful than Roe was. But that will take time.
Meanwhile, I have put together a podcast contributing to our recovery efforts, giving us an informational reflection about the connection between our precious sovereign reproductive rights and our precious sovereign financial rights. The two are utterly linked.
And for definition purposes, sovereignty means "power or authority over." In this context, it's self empowerment, self authority over our bodies and our money.
As you read and listen to what I have to say here, for a deeper dive, you may refer to Chapter Four in Are You Present in Your Body with Your Money about our biology of money and how sexual trauma affects the female financial relationship. And you might also find the Podcast #8 helpful about how Sexual Trauma Affects Money Relationship.
So, here we go - read on and listen on . . .
Meeting with Jean, a book consultant and book editor from Denver, Colorado, turned into a fabulous opportunity to articulately workshop how to integrate the Somatic Money Presence Practice directly into a money relationship challenge. Listen to find out how we mapped the emotional challenges in Jean's money relationship and then workshopped presence practice directly into her money life as an interactive answer! This was life changing for Jean!
Corrine, an entrepreneur in Calgary, Canada, is pushing the edge of her money relationship, tapping into the new multidimensional money codes on the planet. We had fun, lots of laughter, parsing out her current money landscape, preparing her for her next big steps. All of us have something to learn from the messages Corrine received to "get focused and lean into stability to be able to channel greater amperage" in money relationship - but not before being rested, rebalanced and retuned. What a great listen!
This week, I host Angela Clark on my podcast who is a leader-healer, an experiential survivor of human sex trafficking. She now supports others in their own sexual trauma recovery.
When Angela sent her guest request to me, I realized we needed to hear her story and hear about her work. She whole-heartedly agreed. And so, for this podcast, we are breaking from the session-only format and embracing a podcast in three parts: interview, session reading and Somatic Money workshop. (The podcast is longer than usual to encompass all three parts).
First, you'll hear about Angela's story and healing journey. Next, Angela and I track data points she's collected from her work to begin to sketch out the symptoms of how sexual trauma affects money relationship. I share the basis of what I've learned about Somatic Money and sexual trauma. And last, Angela and I work with her Spirit Team on specific Somatic Money practices she may use to get inside her money relationship, providing her with more of a financial toehold -- breaking through trauma -- to create a better financial foundation.
**Note: If you are a sexual trauma survivor, for your self care, it is suggested that you listen to this podcast in safe and sacred space for your own security. It is also suggested that you listen to the podcast in segments.
Sometimes pairing non-traditional gifts and services with traditional business structures isn't necessarily an obvious or easy task. I was thrilled that Shelly, an animal communicator from the Colorado Western Slope, valiantly opened her life and business platform to us so that we could take an inside look at what it might be like to pair intuitive guidance directly with structural business steps. Take a listen!
What an incredible Somatic Money session! I was so honored to be able to work with Heather, who is a professor in Arizona. Her strong foundation allowed us to go deeper into her money relationship to track and map her emotional energetics in the budget space. Once we did this, it became clear to introduce and work with both the creation of a safe and secure container along with the beginning Financial Soul Retrieval tool. What a powerful listen, filled with the alchemy of beneficial transformation inside the money relationship!
Jenn, a business owner of multiple businesses, joined me in this revealing podcast. In the process of discussing the basic Somatic Money Presence Practice, we learned about her love for "check-ins with her future self" about business and money. Find out what we discussed including talks about "cushion room" and releasing the hold of mental log jams with money.
How large or small do you feel with your money? That's exactly what came up in conversation with Heidi from Olympia, Washington about her current process with her money relationship. Tune in to learn more about this subtle but powerful practice that can change how you hold presence with your money.
One of the critical aspects of our money relationship is our identity and how it amplifies the experience of our Money Value. Join us as we visit with Jocey from Boise, Idaho and explore the big life changes she's experiencing in her money identity and how that is impacting her money structure. We'll be sharing insights and tips.
We continue this new Somatic Money Coaching Podcast platform with a veteran money and business strategist, Karen, who is overwhelmed with a new business and underwhelmed with her old money space. It's time to help her retune and find new focus. Stick around for the zinger at the end!
This is the maiden voyage of the Somatic Money Coaching Podcast with coach, Dana Stovern, and guest, Kim from Massachusetts. We'll be talking about how she strategized paying off $29,000 in debt and how she's going to pay off a new debt.
