For the Love of Money Series Part 3: The Guilt of Growth - When Overflow Feels Unsafe

This episode is powered by The Seven Figure Shift 3-Day Workshop

 

“You can’t sustain overflow if your soul is still grieving your last expansion.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon

Overflow doesn’t feel safe for everyone; and that’s why so many 7-figure CEOs keep sabotaging it. In this unfiltered episode, Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon cracks open the invisible emotional toll of hitting your next level. We’re talking about growth guilt, generational conditioning, nervous system resistance, and the deeper reasons your business might be bleeding money, even when the revenue is flowing. If you’ve ever felt anxious after a big win, like the next shoe will drop or someone you love will resent your success, this conversation will feel like a spiritual intervention wrapped in strategy. This is money healing at a cellular level, anchored in nervous system regulation, success identity, and soul leadership.

This is not an episode about how to make money. It’s about how to keep it, and feel worthy as you do.

Here’s the truth: You don’t just fear failure. You fear what success might cost you. The guilt of growth is real; and it’s often rooted in unprocessed emotional residue that keeps your nervous system dysregulated around money. If your income rises but your peace shrinks, you’re not scaling. You’re silently self-destructing in a more expensive outfit.

You’ll walk with a breakdown of the five hidden drivers of financial sabotage, even at 7-figures, a spiritual and somatic understanding of what it takes to feel safe with overflow and language to finally name what’s happening when your bank account grows but your joy disappears

This episode is a call to break the unspoken patterns of sabotage that 7-figure CEOs don’t talk about publicly. It’s a raw, real-time exploration of how unresolved trauma and spiritual misalignment can hijack your financial future. Dr. Darnyelle shares the emotional breakdown that followed her first 7-figure year, why she stopped celebrating wins, and how she healed the subconscious link between success and loss.

This is your invitation to pause the hustle and examine the cost of your next level. If you’re doing all the “right” things, but the overflow still triggers fear, guilt, or spiritual fatigue, you’re not broken. But you do need new tools. Grab your journal and come behind the curtain of what it really looks like to hold millions without losing your peace, people, or purpose.
