The Real Reason Money Never Feels Like Relief | The Unstoppable Mind Podcast with Mary Lou Rodriguez
Sat Jan 31 2026
Money coming in should calm you down.
So why does it make you work harder?
A payment hits.
And instead of closing the app, you keep going.
You start calculating.
Planning.
Checking what’s next.
Like the moment isn’t finished yet.
This episode names the part no one talks about:
money hasn’t felt like relief because you haven’t been able to stop when it arrives.
So even as income grows, the pressure grows with it.
You’ll recognize this if:
you enjoy money for about five secondsyou immediately start managing itgood months still feel mentally loudrest feels conditionalmoney never actually feels doneGut-check:
If money only feels safe when you’re actively watching it,
more money won’t bring relief —
it will just give you more to manage.
I’m teaching this live inside The Missing Step —
a free 4-day experience where you’ll see how income can increase
without putting you back into planning, monitoring, or staying alert.
