Mental and Emotional Wellbeing
Although this wasn’t a requested guide like the Mini Self-Growth Journal, the topic of money and self-growth has been one of the best-kept secrets in the personal development space—and for obvious reasons. Whether it’s embarrassment, confusion, or simply not knowing how self-growth and spending habits are connected, this part of the journey often goes unspoken. But the truth is, money has a massive influence—not just on our mindset, but on our emotional well-being and overall growth.
It’s deeply tied to how we step into our next chapter with intention and purpose.
I’ve had so many realisations throughout my own self-growth journey that I felt called to create this beginner-friendly guide. Honestly, I wish I had something like this when I was navigating the emotional side of money—when I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
As someone deeply committed to self-growth, I don’t demonise money or hold a negative view of it. But I am aware of the emotional weight it can carry. That’s exactly why I created this free money mindset workbook. I wanted to offer a softer, more mindful way to explore your relationship with money—one that gently unpacks emotional spending habits and gives you space to rewrite your money story from a more empowered place.
Your money story isn’t just about numbers—it’s about self-worth, identity, and healing.
If you’ve ever felt anxious about checking your bank account or noticed your emotions influencing your spending, it’s more common than you think. The way we relate to money often reflects how we see ourselves—what we believe we deserve, what we avoid, and what we’ve been taught to carry in silence.
That’s exactly why I created Rewrite Your Money Story – A Self-Growth Starter Guide.
This isn’t a budgeting tool. It’s an emotional check-in. A mindset shift. A gentle space to pause, reflect, and begin healing your money habits from the inside out.
In my most-read post, Money Habits & Self-Growth, I opened up about how deeply our emotional patterns shape our financial habits—from guilt-driven spending to total avoidance.
That post lit a fire in me. I realised we don’t just need another conversation about money—we need tools that actually help us rewrite our money story through self-awareness and emotional intelligence. I felt so encouraged to create something meaningful for you.
The truth is, so many of us are carrying money beliefs we never consciously chose. We inherited them. Absorbed them. And now, they quietly influence how we feel, spend, save, and show up.
The freebie featured in that post was born from that exact realisation. I wanted to offer something both practical and transformational—a tool that could meet you right where you are and support the version of you that’s ready to grow.
When it came to actually creating this workbook, I knew I had to slow down and really think it through. Money is personal—we all have different experiences, beliefs, and emotional ties to it. I didn’t want to just throw together another budgeting tool or mindset checklist. I wanted this to feel real.
Truthfully, I never planned to create something like this. But the more I reflected on my own money story, the more I realised how much this kind of resource is needed. I genuinely felt called to put it out there—for the version of you that’s ready to understand your habits on a deeper level, and maybe even start fresh.

If any of that sounds like you, this free guide is for you.
Here’s what you’ll find:
I personally use Notability. It’s super beginner-friendly and keeps all your digital downloads and PDFs neat and organised. There’s a paid version, but the free version works perfectly to start with (this isn’t sponsored!). If you already use GoodNotes or any other app that lets you write on PDFs, this workbook will work just fine with those, too.
Go with whatever works best for you.
This guide wasn’t created with a “tips and tricks to save more money” vibe. It’s about something deeper. It’s about self-awareness, emotional honesty, and learning how to reset your mindset so money can become something you feel at peace with—not something you fear, avoid, or cling to.
I know money can be a trigger for many of us—and that’s okay. You’re simply beginning a new relationship with it.

About me
A few years ago, I found myself overwhelmed, searching for deeper meaning. My curiosity about the world often left me with more questions than answers. As I moved through different seasons of life, I started connecting the dots and gaining clarity on who I am and what I wanted in life.
One pivotal moment caused me to pause, reflect, and ask myself: What does a fulfilling life look like for me? Embracing that realisation sparked a life-changing commitment to personal growth, which ultimately led me to create By Raina L.
