🌿 A Gentle Beginning
Money has always been more than math.
It’s an amplifier.
A reflector.
A deeply honest mirror.
It shows us what we value.
Where we feel safe—and where we don’t.
What we’ve been taught to protect, hide, hoard, or give away.
It’s not judging you.
It’s just revealing you.
And when you stop resisting the reflection,
you begin to reclaim your truth.
💫 Reflection, Not Blame
When you look at your financial choices—big or small—what do you see?
Sometimes:
- We overspend when we’re aching to feel seen.
- We undercharge when we’re unsure of our worth.
- We avoid money when we feel shame about our past.
- We over-control when the world feels uncertain.
This isn’t failure. It’s feedback.
And it’s rich with wisdom.
Let money show you what needs tending—not fixing.
🕯 Try This
Take a quiet moment to reflect:
What is my current relationship with money reflecting back to me?
Where am I aligned with my values?
Where am I out of sync with my truth?
What do I feel when I check my accounts, set prices, or spend?
Write your answers without judgment.
This is not a test. It’s a window.
Then ask:
What wants to be softened here? What wants to shift?
🌙 Parting Thought
Money doesn’t define you.
But it can reveal you.
And when you meet that reflection with tenderness,
you become free to choose something new.
