Ever feel like your relationship with money is like a bad reality TV show? One minute, everything feels wonderful, and youâre on top of the world. Then, suddenly, it feels like the rug has been pulled out from under you. A sale didnât go through, unexpected bills show up, and forgotten expenses start piling up, draining your energy and joy.
And then⌠that familiar anxiety creeps back in. đ
It doesnât come alone; it brings its annoying friends: self-doubt, self-judgment, and shame.
Money relationships can get complicated. And guess what? Itâs not your fault.
Our money stories often begin in childhood. Let me share an example:
Jen* remembers being five years old and seeing a beautiful new doll at the store that she wanted so badly. When she asked her mom for it, her mom responded, with a voice tinged with sadness, "You can't have it; we can't afford it."
Now, as a mom myself, I get itâsometimes thatâs...

As we close this series, letâs talk about an often-overlooked piece of financial healing: your nervous system. When your body feels safe and aligned, money becomes less of a stressor and more of a supportive ally. Here, weâll explore ways to engage your nervous system and sustain a balanced, abundant relationship with money.
Why Your Nervous System Matters in Money Healing
The nervous system holds onto experiences, especially those that felt unsafe or destabilizing. If your body associates money with stress or fear, even the best intentions to change will feel challenging. Bringing your nervous system on board means acclimating it to ease, abundance, and financial securityâslowly, gently, and intentionally.
Steps to Align Your Nervous System with Abundance
Acclimate to Financial Ease
Start by gradually introducing feelings of ease around money. This could mean prac

Healing your money relationship is not a quick fix; itâs a journey, often full of profound discoveries. Now that weâve discussed what money trauma is and how it shows up as blocks, letâs talk about actionable tools and exercises for transforming your financial beliefs and energy.
Through reflection, somatic tools, and small but powerful shifts, we can begin to heal our money relationship from the inside out.
Transformative Tools for Healing Money Trauma
Somatic Awareness
Our bodies often hold on to financial stress, so start with a simple body scan. Notice if thereâs tension when you think about moneyâmaybe in your jaw, stomach, or chest. Acknowledging these sensations without judgment is a powerful first step.
Forgiving Money
Many of us hold resentment towards money, associating it with struggle, scarcity, or even pain. Just as in any relationship, forgiveness can help c

Now that we understand where money trauma can come from, letâs talk about how it manifests in our lives. Money blocksâthose invisible barriers that hold us back financiallyâare a common result of past money trauma. But identifying these blocks can give us the clarity to break free from them.
In this post, weâll uncover some of the subtle (and not-so-subtle) self-sabotaging patterns that show up in our finances, guiding you towards gentle steps for change.
What Money Blocks Look Like in Everyday Life
Money blocks can take on many forms. They might show up as fear around spending, hesitation in charging what youâre worth, or avoiding money altogether. Many of us have made unconscious âpromisesâ to ourselves around money based on past experiences, like, âIâll never be vulnerable with money again,â or âIâll work as hard as I have to if it means Iâll be safe.â
These decisions protect us initia...

When we think of "trauma," money might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Yet, for so many of us, money trauma runs deep, impacting our decisions, our emotions, and our entire sense of freedom and worth. Money trauma isnât about how much is in our bank accountâitâs about the weight, fear, and limitations we carry from past experiences and family patterns.
Today, weâll begin exploring this often-hidden layer in our lives. Letâs uncover what money trauma is, where it originates, and why understanding its roots can open doors to a healthy, empowering relationship with money.
What Is Money Trauma?
Money trauma is any significant, negative emotional reaction related to money or finances. It could be the anxious clench in your stomach when an unexpected expense arrives or the stress that comes from feeling limited or even trapped by your financial situation. Money trauma stems from a feeling of â...
Money is currency. It has a flow, momentum, and frequency in our lives. But what happens when that flow feels blocked or disrupted?
When weâve experienced difficult, confusing, or painful times with money, those experiences can become deeply ingrained in our energy, creating patterns that show up in unexpected ways.
If youâve ever found yourself pulling back from things you truly love and feel passionate about, money trauma could be a contributing factor. Maybe youâve noticed that even simple tasksâespecially in your businessâfeel like an uphill battle, like youâre fighting against a powerful current.
And the truth is, you are.
When we have unresolved money trauma, the current pushes us away from money. We may start believing that money equals struggle, pain, or suffering, and these beliefs become imprinted into our nervous system. We end up running a program that tells us money is hard, painful, unreliable, an...
Ever feel like your relationship with money is like a bad reality TV show? One minute, everything feels wonderful, and youâre on top of the world⌠and the next, it feels like the rug has been pulled out from under you. A sale didnât go through, unexpected bills show up, and forgotten expenses start piling up, sucking the life out of you.
And then⌠that familiar anxiety creeps back in. đ
It doesnât come alone; it brings its annoying friends: self-doubt, self-judgment, and shame.
Hereâs the thing: money relationships can get complicated. And guess what? Itâs not your fault.
Our money stories often begin in childhood. Let me share an example:
Jen* remembered being five years old, seeing a beautiful new doll in the store that she wanted so badly. When she asked her mom for it, her mom responded, voice tinged with sadness, "You can't have it; we can't afford it."

I talk about abundance a lot⌠when it comes to both money and business. But hereâs the real truthâabundance isnât just about financial strategies or business success. Itâs deeply rooted in something far more fundamental: a balanced, healthy, and secure nervous system. (Surprise, surprise!)
When we have a tumultuous relationship with money, it often triggers our nervous system, keeping it stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode. This isnât just about emotions; itâs a physiological response. Your body reacts as if itâs facing a threat, and in that state, itâs nearly impossible to access creativity or attract abundance.
Imagine trying to call in abundance while your nervous system is constantly on high alert, bracing for impact. Itâs like pushing a boulder uphillâyouâre trying so hard to bring abundance into your life, but your bodyâs programming is simultaneously pushi...
