This is part three of my limited series, Emotions Are Expensive: the emotional cost of doing business and how to stop paying it.
In Emotions Are Expensive, we’re digging into the five biggest feels that keep founders spinning out, riding emotional highs and lows around launch goals and marketing metrics, and dancing in and out of burnout land.
Each week, I send an essay and resources on one of these big feels on Tuesdays, followed by a complementary podcast on The Resonance Effect every Friday. Emails are the theory. Podcasts are the practice—how to actually work with and digest each emotion.

EPISODE OVERVIEW
In part three of Emotions Are Expensive, Chelsea explores both sides of financial anxiety: the fear of not having enough and the fear of having (or earning) more than feels safe.
You’ll learn how to expand your capacity to hold both edges, regulate your body through financial fear or success, and stop letting money stress dictate your decisions.
This episode includes a guided nervous system practice to help you feel safe having more, and the note to use this Regulation Ritual if your stress leans toward not enough.
