I Built the Life I Wanted. Why Doesn’t It Feel Safe? Feat. Saskia Katherine

You hit the income goal, paid off the debt and built the life you dreamed of. So why does it still feel like it could all disappear? After I crashed out on Instagram asking “does it ever actually get to feel safe?”, so many of you told me I needed to talk to Saskia Katherine. Saskia is a spiritual mentor, educator and creator of The Integration Map, and she helps high-achieving women move from survival to self-trust. We talk about why milestones don’t make you feel safe, the signs you’re living in survival mode, being the responsible one in a first-gen family, wealth guilt, and why calm isn’t the goal. Saskia also leads a short guided practice live on the show so make sure you listen until the end!
