Hello Empowered Wayers!
Money was always a painful subject in my life.
I was always the one who spent too much, didn’t save enough, and lived paycheck to paycheck.
I never understood what I was doing wrong with money. I followed the rules, but I always seemed to sabotage myself.
If being good with money was like losing weight, I kept finding the sweets and forgetting the diet.
It felt like a battle with an invisible enemy. Money knew the rules of the game and I didn’t have a clue.
I never fully realized that the battle wasn’t with money–it was something much more important.
Subconscious Beliefs Were the Enemy, Not Money
One day, I tried something different. I started a Money Journal and began recording all the negative or limiting statements I made about money.
“I guess I’ll never get ahead.”
“I was never meant to have a lot of money.”
“Why does everyone else have money and not me?”
The pages of my journal filled up with more statements that carried a judgmental tone or victim-mindset. After one week, I sat down and looked at what I had collected. The statements fell into one of these categories:
Lack of self-worth
Comparison
Victim stories
I stared at the entries and immediately saw the connections between these beliefs and my behavior. Why would I charge more for my time if I didn’t deserve it? That other person had more training, degrees, or certifications. Why would I create another course - younger women had the knack on social media.
After stepping back from my behavior and raising my awareness about what caused it, I had a revelation:
Money wasn’t the issue.
It was my limiting beliefs about myself that caused money problems.
I felt as if I had discovered the secret portal to abundance!
The excitement of this discovery propelled me on a quest to heal my money wounds and elevate my relationship to money, wealth, and abundance.
That is when I discovered the magic of learning my Sacred Money Archetypes.
Sacred Money Archetypes
There are eight different money personalities or archetypes. When you know your money type or personality, your behavior and financial choices become clear. You begin to understand why you seem to sabotage yourself, even when you are determined to “do better.”
After taking the assessment, I discovered I am an Alchemist and Connector. Both archetypes thrive on relationships and connection. Neither type considers money as a measure of value. Success is not measured in dollars, but in the quality of relationships.
I felt a light come on. Now I understood why I didn’t really care about money like other people (accumulating it, investing it, etc.). Instead, I could concentrate on sharing my gifts and trust that the money would come.
This shift in my relationship with money has relieved my worries, stress, and anxiety about not having enough. I am abundant on the inside, and that energy naturally flows out through my thoughts, words, and actions.
This type of approach doesn’t sit well with financial planners or advisors. I understand why–their focus is on the external money behaviors, while I focus on the internal relationship with money.
You need both the internal and external to be aligned.
The Takeaway
Just because you have a troubled relationship with money doesn’t mean you are doomed to suffer for the rest of your life.
Look at your life now. Write down the painful parts without judgment or criticism. Pretend you are a scientist trying to discover the “why” behind the decisions. Where does that lead you?
You might try doing this exercise with a trusted friend. The point is to gain awareness and a broader perspective of the experience so you can heal it.
That’s why I became a certified Sacred Money Archetype Coach–to help people heal their money wounds and learn that they create abundance and wealth from the inside-out.
Remember, money isn’t the enemy. You are doing battle with your hidden beliefs about money. Isn’t it time that you excavate them, accept and forgive them, and consciously choose differently?
Your life will transform, your financial worries diminish, and you will discover peace in your relationship with money.
