In this solo episode of The Discomfort Practice, Betsy reflects on what it means to live and prosper beyond capitalism’s conditioning. She’s been recently moving through a deep personal detox and life transition and explores how WildFit, a nutritional and emotional reset, has become a catalyst for examining - well, everything. Her relationship with productivity, prosperity, and self-worth as well as with why and what she eats.

Betsy talks about how capitalist systems teach us to see ourselves and others as “human resources,” valued only for what we produce, and how unlearning that story requires reclaiming rest, coherence, and trust. She shares how seasonal rhythms where she lives in southern Spain have guided her to align more closely with her own natural cycles rather than external expectations of constant output.

From re-writing internal scripts (“Time is cyclical and you are always in season”) to stepping back from work that doesn’t value her, Betsy invites listeners into a deeply human conversation about redefining abundance - not as accumulation or achievement, but as reciprocity, alignment, and integrity.

She speaks candidly about shame around financial safety, the myth of “adulthood = stability,” and what it means to build true sovereignty as a single woman and creative professional. And she reminds us that the energy of abundance isn’t about efforting or proving: it’s about coherence, trust, and allowing life to hold you.

This is a raw, tender, and deeply reflective episode about creating post-capitalist abundance in practice: relational, regenerative, and grounded in self-trust.
