Let’s talk money and self-growth without the shame, without the stress and without the silence.

For most of us, money is way more emotional than we realise. It’s not just about budgets and bank balances. It’s about comfort, fear, identity, control, satisfaction—and sometimes even love. The way we handle money? It’s rarely random. It’s often a reflection of how safe, worthy, and grounded we feel inside.

I can’t speak for everyone—money means different things to different people. But I grew up in a middle-class family where the message was clear: you have to work hard. Really hard. Conversations around money in my home were often rooted in stress and survival, not ease or abundance.

At the same time, I was on my own self-growth journey. And the concept of money didn’t really align with the personal beliefs I was developing. Money felt rigid. Personal growth felt expansive. I couldn’t figure out how to make those two worlds meet.

That confused, grey area made me deeply curious. I started asking myself: “If I stripped away everything I was taught… what would money mean to me on my own terms?”

That question cracked something open in me. Was it weird to want money and self-growth to align? Maybe. But I leaned into it anyway. And here’s what I’ve learned since: Money is just a concept—one shaped by our personal experiences and the beliefs we inherit from others.

These experiences trigger a well of emotions, whether positive or negative, and it’s through those emotions that the idea of money begins to form in our minds. From there, our habits, behaviours, and emotional responses become reflections of that internalised concept.

So let’s go there—with compassion, curiosity, and zero pressure. This isn’t just about finances. This is about you.
