From Bankruptcy to Abundance: Healing Your Relationship with Money

Send a message or voice memo

What happens when we untangle our sense of self-worth from our bank accounts? Diving deep into the messy, emotional landscape where money and identity intersect, this episode explores how cultural conditioning, family dynamics, and societal messaging shape our relationship with abundance.

I share my raw, unfiltered journey—from watching my parents work multiple jobs and fight over finances to my own experience with bankruptcy as a young mother. That rock-bottom moment forced me to confront not just my financial habits, but the deeper beliefs I held about my own worthiness. The path from scarcity to abundance wasn't linear, requiring me to challenge the "hustle and grind" mentality I'd inherited and recognize that working myself into exhaustion wasn't proof of my value.

For many of us, especially those from immigrant families or communities of color, money wounds are ancestral. We carry beliefs about sacrifice, stability, and "staying humble" as a form of loyalty to our family's struggles. Yet our ancestors didn't sacrifice so we would continue suffering—they dreamed of abundance for us. Healing our relationship with money actually honors their sacrifices.

Through practical mindset shifts, journaling prompts, and a guided meditation, this episode offers tools to transform your relationship with money. Replace "I can't afford this" with "How can I create this?" and "I'm bad with money" with "I'm learning to be in partnership with money." These aren't just semantic changes—they represent a fundamental shift in how you view yourself in relation to abundance.

Ready to reclaim your financial power? Grab your journal, find a quiet space, and join me in this transformative conversation about money, worth, and the courage to believe you deserve more.
