IF MONEY WAS A HUMAN, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE? 🤔
For me, money used to look like Scrooge, the protagonist of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol”.
I was afraid of Scrooge. I was very much afraid of money.
Of course, I didn’t go around panting:
“Check this 1 dollar note! I’m terrified!”
The fear was hidden deep in my subconscious.
To me, money was an evil force that would 1) turn me into a bad person 2) make me become an undesirable woman. And 3) the more money there is, the less love there will be.
At a subconscious level, because I was afraid of money I wanted to get rid of them, fast.
So I spent all the money I made. And I was terrible at asking for money, even when it was a fair exchange for my hard work.
I told myself: “Do what you love and money will follow” - which, by the way, is one of the most over-romanticized lies ever invented.

It was when my partner and I held each other crying. We just came back from a 3-day retreat. We were exhausted when we found out that we barely broke even.
That wouldn’t happen if I paid attention to our cash flow.
But I didn’t, I was too afraid of Scrooge.
After that wake-up call, I started to feel suspicious.
“Maybe I have some unacknowledged problems with money.”
I began an inner expedition to explore my money issues and build a better relationship with money. From replacing my limiting money beliefs to healing my money wounds.
