Summary
Why does making more money still feel like it's never enough? In this episode, I'm joined by Melissa Eich — nurse, women's health coach, and someone who knows what it's like to work hard, invest in yourself, and still feel like the ground beneath your money is shaking. Melissa opens up about a difficult investment that didn't deliver — and the wave of shame, anger, and self-doubt that followed. We go deep on why more income doesn't automatically create safety or satisfaction, and what it actually takes to stop outsourcing your sense of financial security to the next strategy, the next number, the next external fix. Through her work inside Relaxed Money, Melissa began following her own internal breadcrumbs back to herself — learning to trust her body, her intuition, and her capacity to make clear, grounded decisions with money. She shares how consistent money dates, compassionate awareness, and healing her nervous system's relationship with money transformed not just her finances — but her sense of self-worth and agency. If you've ever thought I should have figured this out by now , this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. “There were times I had more money than I knew what to do with—and it still didn’t feel like enough.” –Melissa Eich 🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤 00:27 Guest introduction — Melissa: RN and women's wellness coach 03:16 Personal challenge — bad mentorship investment and resulting shame 04:36 Discovery — finding Relaxed Money / Good With Money workshop 05:31 Why this program was different — nervous system work & self‑authored approach 07:48 Program experience — structure, money dates and practical tools 10:25 Applying the methodology — listening to the body and communicating about money 12:24 Results & healing — payin…
