Summary
Amy Schuber interviews Kate Winch, a holistic practitioner and EFT specialist with over 17 years of experience, about how tapping works and its applications for stress, limiting beliefs, and business success. Kate explains that EFT works like acupuncture without needles, tapping on meridian points to restore the body's energy flow while addressing stored negative emotions from trauma or stress. Kate leads Amy and listeners through a full tapping round focused on money stress, moving through the karate chop point, eyebrow, side of eyes, under eyes, nose, chin, collarbone, under arms, rib cage, wrists, and top of head. The session begins by acknowledging resistance to change and naming the stress, then shifts to releasing phrases and positive affirmations. Kate shares that after starting a daily tapping practice focused on deserving abundance, she received an unexpected $900 gift and had her best year in business, and recommends meeting yourself wherever you are emotionally each day and tapping for 5-10 minutes using guided audios.

Key Moments
How tapping restores the body's energy flow
Kate explains that EFT works like acupuncture without needles, releasing negative emotions stored in the body from trauma or stress by getting the energy system flowing again, combining work with both mind and body.
"Basically, one of the things I love about this is you can do it on yourself if you're having a really bad day. It's like acupuncture without the needles. And what happens is we do store negative emotions in the body."
Measuring emotional charge before and after tapping
Kate describes how to measure a triggering memory or emotion on a 0-10 scale before tapping, then check afterward to see how much the charge has decreased, indicating the stored emotion is being cleared.
"What I'll often do is ask the clients, go back and measure that. How much of a trigger is it? And sometimes they'll be like, oh, it's still a 10. It's still really upsetting and triggering to me."
Live abundance tapping session for money stress
Kate leads a full tapping round addressing money stress, starting with the reversal on the karate chop point acknowledging resistance to change, then moving through all meridian points with phrases addressing fear, worry, and old beliefs about money.
"Even though I have all this stress and worry about money. And I refuse to let it go. Maybe it doesn't feel safe. I can't relax about this."
Kate's personal abundance tapping breakthrough
Kate shares that after beginning daily tapping focused on deserving abundance, she received an unexpected $900 cash gift and went on to have her best year in business, with new clients and opportunities flowing in.
"I received an unexpected gift of $900 in cash. And I was like, oh my gosh, this works. And then I took on doing my tapping every day. And that year I had the best year in my business to that date. And I found that things just came to me, you know, new clients and opportunities to be interviewed and speaking on people's stages and,"
