Why does receiving more money feel exciting… and also a little uncomfortable?
In this expansive, empowering, and super practical episode of the High Vibin’ It Podcast, Kelsey Aida and Lynnsey Robinson sit down with returning guest Ava Johanna, founder of the Academy of Breath — to talk about money, visibility, and what it really takes to feel safe receiving more success.
From scaling a business to preparing for motherhood, Ava shares how she intentionally redesigned her life and work to support her next level not just externally, but internally. Together, they explore the deeper layers behind money blocks, including fear of responsibility, being seen, and holding more than you’re used to.
