In this powerful episode, Cate Stillman is joined by Patrick Heffernan and Bill Hershey for a raw, insightful conversation about the hidden money wounds affecting yoga teachers, healers, and holistic practitioners.
They explore the “money shadow”—the subconscious resistance many wellness professionals have around finances, sales, and success—and how that resistance is directly tied to development stages, trauma, and nervous system conditioning.
Whether you’re feeling stuck financially or seeking a more empowered relationship with business, this episode delivers practical insights and soulful strategies for evolving beyond scarcity.
