Sometimes it’s not that you’re doing anything “wrong” with money, it’s that you’re operating from patterns you never consciously chose.

In this episode, I sit down with Jamie Berman, a master certified money coach with a background in spiritual psychology, to unpack why money can feel heavy even when your business is working. Together, we explore how subconscious beliefs, inherited scarcity, and hustle-driven identity quietly shape the way we earn, receive, and relate to money.

Jamie shares a grounded, practical approach to manifestation that goes far beyond affirmations, helping us shift from forcing outcomes to trusting ourselves, our timing, and our capacity to receive. This conversation is about expanding financially without burning out, betraying your values, or abandoning ease.

If you’ve ever felt like you want more financially but refuse to hustle harder to get it, this episode will help you reframe what’s possible and how it actually arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Jamie Berman?

Jamie Berman is a master certified money coach with a background in spiritual psychology. She helps women understand why money can feel heavy even when the business is working, and how subconscious beliefs shape the way they earn and receive. In this episode she shares a grounded, practical approach to money mindset and manifestation that goes beyond affirmations.

Where do money beliefs come from?

Jamie's view is that your money identity is not factual, it is learned, and much of it was formed before age eight. Inherited scarcity, family patterns, and a hustle-driven identity quietly shape how you earn and receive. The good news is that because these beliefs were learned, they can be examined and shifted rather than treated as fixed truth.

What is a grounded approach to manifestation?

Jamie frames manifestation as a daily practice, not a one-time vision board, and suggests treating it like a one-year experiment instead of a lifelong belief. Her "It Is Done" practice is about shifting from longing to knowing, and pairing that inner shift with aligned action rather than forcing outcomes. It is practical and behavior-based, not just affirmations.

How can ease actually increase your income?

Jamie's point is that constant hustle is not the only path to earning more. When you release the guilt around making money and let ease, fun, and rest into how you work, you make room to receive. Trusting your timing and taking aligned action, instead of forcing, is often what expands income without burning you out.
