#69 | Overcoming Financial Overwhelm: Stress Management Strategies for the Highly Sensitive Person

In this episode of the Wiggle Room Podcast, we discuss an interesting question about how to stay grounded when doing The Work—in this case, getting too attached to one step of growth and not being open to the next. Then, another participant does The Work on "I hate to feel powerless" regarding owing a lot of money in taxes.
