How to Feel Safe Holding More Wealth, Power & Visibility

embodied leadership self-sabotage & subconscious blocks Mar 24, 2025

You say you want more.

More wealth. More impact. More visibility.

And yet, every time you get close to that next level, something pulls you back.

You hit an income milestone, and suddenly, unexpected expenses drain your account.
You step into a bigger leadership role, and an old self-doubt resurfaces.
You show up online more boldly, and then… you disappear for weeks.

It’s frustrating. You know you’re meant for more, but no matter how much you push forward, your system pulls you back to the familiar.

This isn’t because you’re sabotaging yourself. It’s because your nervous system is protecting you from expansion that it hasn’t yet learned to hold.

 

Why More Feels Unsafe (Even When You Want It)

The mind can desire something, but if the body perceives it as a threat, it will resist.

Your nervous system is wired for familiarity, not possibility.

If more money, success, or visibility was never modeled as safe in your upbringing, your system will treat it as an unknown—and unknown = danger.

This might show up as:

  •  Money plateaus (no matter how much you make, you can’t seem to hold onto it)
  •  Visibility resistance (you start to put yourself out there, then suddenly feel the need to retreat)
  •  Fear of responsibility (the more success you have, the more pressure you feel, leading to overwhelm or burnout)
  •  Guilt or discomfort around having more (feeling like you’re leaving others behind or worried about being judged)

The truth is, you don’t need a rebrand, or a new strategy—you need a nervous system that feels safe holding more.

 

How to Expand Your Capacity for Wealth, Power & Visibility

The key isn’t to force your way through expansion. It’s to gradually build your nervous system’s capacity to hold it.


Here’s how:

1. Normalize Wealth, Power & Visibility in Your System

If your body registers more as unsafe, your job is to make it familiar.

Start small. If you desire more wealth, practice holding larger sums of money in your bank account without immediately spending or redistributing. If visibility triggers fear, start by sharing slightly more than usual and letting your system acclimate.

Surround yourself with examples of what’s possible. If wealth was seen as “greedy” in your upbringing, follow people who embody wealth with integrity. If power felt threatening, study leaders who lead with heart. Your subconscious needs proof that more doesn’t equal harm.

 

2. Regulate Your Body’s Response to Having More

Your body might interpret expansion as pressure, exposure, or even danger.

To counter this, practice somatic regulation techniques like:

  • Grounding exercises (pressing your feet into the floor, slowing your breath, feeling your body in space)

  • Nervous system regulation practices (full guide here: Nervous System Specific Self Care)

  • Journaling & self-inquiry (What feels unsafe about having more? What stories do you have about wealth, power, and visibility? What fear comes up when I think about holding more money, power, or attention?)

The more your body associates success with calm rather than stress, the easier it becomes to hold.

 

3. Expand in Micro-Doses (Instead of Overwhelming Your System)

If you try to quantum leap too fast, your system will snap back to the familiar.

Instead of going from $5k months to $50k months overnight, work on gradually increasing your capacity—whether that’s through slightly raising your rates, investing in your expansion, or allowing yourself to hold more without rushing to give it away.

If visibility feels unsafe, don’t force yourself to suddenly be everywhere—start with one small, consistent stretch.

Expansion is a process of integration, not force.

 

4. Release the Subconscious Stories That Keep You Small

If you associate more success with more pressure, more criticism, or more responsibility, your system will resist it.

Some common subconscious beliefs that block expansion:

  • “If I have more, people will judge me.”

  • “Making more means working harder.”

  • “More visibility means more vulnerability.”

  • “If I have more, I’ll take from others.”

Your job is to rewrite the narrative.

 

Try this:

Old belief: “If I make more money, I’ll be overwhelmed with responsibility.”

New belief: “More money gives me more resources, freedom, and choice.”

Old belief: “Visibility will make me a target.”

New belief: “My voice is meant to be heard, and I can handle being seen.”

 

5. Anchor Into Your Body’s Safety Daily

Success doesn’t come from just thinking differently—it comes from feeling safe holding more.

Each day, ask yourself:

  • How can I let expansion feel easier today?
  • Where can I stretch my capacity slightly without overwhelming myself?
  • What somatic or energetic practice will support me in feeling safe holding more?

Your nervous system holds the key to everything you desire.

When you feel safe holding more, you won’t just reach your next level—you’ll be able to stay there with ease.
