Denise on the Rich Woman Rising Podcast

In this honest and heart-expanding conversation, I sat down with Eloise Tomkins to unpack a big one: why money and success alone won’t save you from scarcity—and what it really takes to feel safe with abundance.

We explored how our childhood experiences shape the way we show up in business, and I shared parts of my own money story—from growing up in housing commission to navigating generational money wounds. It’s been a journey of healing, unlearning, and choosing ease over hustle (again and again).

We also talked about how overworking, hoarding, and people-pleasing are often nervous system responses, not personality flaws—and why true financial freedom isn’t a finish line, but the doorway to even deeper emotional and mindset work.

If money still feels “hard,” even when it’s technically flowing, you’re not broken. This episode is a compassionate reminder that feeling safe with abundance is a practice—and one you absolutely deserve to embody.

We explored:

• How childhood shapes your money patterns

• Why overworking and people-pleasing are trauma responses

• Feeling safe with abundance (even when it’s already “enough”)

• The emotional work after financial freedom

• Breaking free from scarcity and choosing ease
