"If You're Not Paying My Bills, I Don't Care" | Dr Stephanie Rimka
How do women learn to receive? Dr Stephanie Rimka, author of *Receive: The Dance of Feminine Power*, joins Tasha Chen to talk about feminine power, money trauma and what wealth really means.
Stephanie defines wealth as knowing that she belongs to herself. She shares how she moved from being resistant to luxury to choosing "luxury" as her word of the year, why shame is so damaging, and the moment Tasha told her she still had a big money trauma. She's also honest about being in the middle of her own identity shift, having stepped back from 1:1 patient care after 30 years.

**Key takeaways from this conversation:**
- Wealth can mean sovereignty: having the health, money and freedom to say yes or no on your own terms.
- Guilt and shame are different. Guilt tells you that you did something wrong; shame tells you that you *are* wrong.
- Visualisation works by creating a future version of yourself that pulls you forward.
- Many women find it easier to give than to receive, and Stephanie explains why receiving is central to feminine power.
- Healing, wealth and support can't land fully until you feel you deserve them.
**Questions answered in this episode:**
- What does it mean to be wealthy beyond money?
- What is the difference between guilt and shame?
- How do you know when you've outgrown an identity?
- Why do women struggle to receive?
- Can you have money trauma without realising it?
