In this episode of the Heal/Create Podcast, Courtney sits down with Whitney Lynn to explore the connection between creativity, emotional health, embodiment, and breathwork.

Money is a Mirror

Courtney Lancaster — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 17:00:00 GMT

This episode explores how a person’s relationship with money is deeply shaped by their early childhood experiences of support, safety, and attachment. Courtney explains how creatives often carry emotional patterns—like overgiving, avoidance, performance, or scarcity—that influence how they earn, receive, and think about money. She invites listeners to heal their “money story” by building nervous system safety around receiving support, separating worth from income, and creating new experiences that reinforce a sense of being resourced and supported.
