Or so I thought.
Money is one of those taboo subjects weโve been conditioned not to talk about.
But that is such a massive, massive problem!
One thatโs holding so many people back, and I was one of them ๐โโ๏ธ
I grew up with all the usual sayings about money:
โ๏ธ"Donโt ask for it,"
โ๏ธ"Itโs rude to talk about it,"
โ๏ธ"Money doesnโt grow on trees,"
โ๏ธ"We can't afford it,"
โ๏ธ"The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer."
โ๏ธ"Money is the root of all evil" (don't even get me started on this one!)
These messages are total BS!!!
They're limiting beliefs, and they're everywhere.
The more you use these statements, whether to yourself (in your head or out loud) or to others - the more solidified they become.
Which means, the more you live them as your reality!!
Theyโre like weeds in the garden, suffocating everything you're trying to grow.
These beliefs arenโt just harmless sayings; theyโre literally choking your growth.
They're choking out your wealth, your success, your potential.
And because we donโt talk about money, itโs almost like we're all supposed to be naturally good at managing itโwithout ever learning anything about it.
Schools donโt teach it, public schools especially.
Youโre taught to get good grades, get into a good high school, then University so you can get a "good job."
But let me ask you, what is so good about a good job? A job where money is capped?
Youโre still someone elseโs subordinate, your time is sold, and your freedom is limited AF.
We donโt know what we donโt know until we learn new things (I'll keep screaming this one!).
Most people have no idea how much theyโre holding themselves back with their outdated, limiting money stories.
And hereโs the thingโeveryone has a money blueprint, a story that dictates how they see money, handle money, and earn money...
Mine was rooted in lack.
For years, I believed I was destined to stay stuck in that story.
But as I continued to do the work necessary to understand my story, I was able to look at my money blueprint, and rewrite it.
The moment I started to do that, things began to change.
I began to receive more money, opportunities flowed in, and I started to live in alignment with the life I wanted.
Talking about money used to make me so uncomfortable.
There was so much fear....
Fear of judgment, fear of making someone else feel bad, fear that I was being too "greedy."
Sometimes, when Iโd talk about money, people would snob me or get weird like something was wrong with me...
So naturally Iโd instantly retreat.
But now?
Now I see that as a reflection of their limiting beliefs, not mine.
Iโve done the work to break free from that mindset, and I can see when others havenโt.
I can feel the tension when money comes up in conversationโthe shame, the fear, the discomfort.
Itโs everywhere, and itโs suffocating people.
But.....
Wouldn't it be nice to pay all your bills every week/month without stressing out about having enough to cover it all?
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to stay in beautiful holiday locations without worrying about the cost?
Wouldn't it be nice to dine at restaurants and cafe's, ordering from the left hand side of the menu - not the right?
Wouldn't it be nice to just fill your trolley, not buy sparingly?
Wouldn't it be nice to shop with zero concerns about your card declining?
Filling up your car without caring about fuel prices?
I could go on and on here, but I'm sure you get the picture?
Truth is, I've experienced all of these.
So how do you break free from this?
How do you change your money mindset and open yourself up to abundance?
Here are a few steps I took:
๐ญ. ๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐
Take a hard look at the beliefs you grew up with around money.
What were you taught?
What phrases about money were thrown around in your household?
Write them down.
Get clear on the story youโve been carrying.
Because recognizing those old beliefs is the first step in rewriting them.
๐ฎ. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐
Once you know your money story, ask
yourself: is it serving you?
If not, itโs time to create a new one!
Start affirming new beliefs.
Whatever your limiting beliefs are, replace them with more empowering ones... for example:
Replace โmoney doesnโt grow on treesโ with โthere is an abundance of money and opportunities.โ
Replace โI canโt afford thatโ with โHow can I afford that?โ
Challenge the old story and replace it with one that aligns with your goals.

Money isnโt dirty. And it definitely isnโt bad!
Itโs just a toolโjust like anything else.
If you have shame around money, whether it's about having too little or wanting more, you gotta let that s*t go!
Thereโs no shame in wanting financial freedom.
Thereโs no shame in wanting to make more so you can live better and help others.
You donโt need to apologize for wanting abundance
It's your birth right to experience riches and wealth, but your limiting beliefs are actually what's prohibiting it.

You are the sum of the people you hang out with most.
If you hang around people who constantly complain about money, feel broke, or reinforce scarcity, that energy will pull you down.
Find people who think big, who talk about wealth, who arenโt afraid to discuss money openly.
Their energy and mindset will rub off on you, and youโll start to see money differently.
๐ฑ. ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป
You canโt just sit around and wish for abundanceโyou have to take action.
Invest in learning about money, about building wealth, and creating multiple streams of income.

Shifting your focus to gratitude changes everything.
Instead of focusing on what you lack, focus on what you already have and be grateful for it.
Gratitude opens the door for more abundance to flow in. Itโs a powerful mindset shift.
And a book I highly, HIGHLY recommend is "๐ง๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐" by ๐๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ง๐ฃ๐.
This book was the first book I read on my now 6 year journey of personal development, and it CHANGED MY LIFE for the better ๐ซโจ๏ธ๐ซ
There is so much money to be made in this world.
And if you make a s*t ton of it, it doesnโt take away from anyone else.
Just because someone else is wealthy doesnโt mean you canโt be.
Thereโs more than enough for everyone.
So stop playing small!
Stop thinking that thereโs only so much success, and so much wealth to go around.
Thatโs scarcity thinking, and itโs holding you back.
You deserve to thrive.
You deserve to have more than enough.
You deserve financial freedom, and youโre more than capable of having it.
Rewrite your story, take action, and step into the abundant life that's waiting for you.
