How can you work with your nervous system and navigate those lower income months anxiety?
In this powerful solo episode of The Brown Way to Money Podcast, Alejandra Rojas explores how financial trauma quietly shapes the way women of color respond to lower-income months—emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
If you’ve ever felt intense fear, shame, or self-doubt when your income dips, this episode will help you understand why—and give you a path to heal. Alejandra breaks down how past money wounds, generational stories, and nervous system responses get activated during slow seasons in business.
She shares a simple, repeatable 3-step framework to move through those triggering moments, regulate your emotions, and reframe the financial narrative you're carrying—so you can grow with clarity, not chaos.
This episode is essential listening for every WOC entrepreneur ready to stop letting past financial pain define her future.
