🌿 A Gentle Beginning
You’ve made choices you wouldn’t make now.
You’ve had moments of grasping, avoiding, overspending, under-earning.
You’ve had shame sit heavy in your chest when looking at numbers.
And love… that doesn’t disqualify you.
That qualifies you for grace.
Repair is not weakness.
It’s wisdom.
It’s the moment you choose tenderness over self-punishment.
💫 The Myth of Being “Good With Money”
So many of us internalized this silent standard:
- “If I were better, I wouldn’t be in debt.”
- “If I were smarter, I’d have saved more.”
- “If I were disciplined, I wouldn’t feel this stuck.”
But what if you were never meant to be perfect?
What if your money wounds are places to pour love—not shame?
Repair is sacred because it means:
I am choosing care in the places I once abandoned myself.
🕯 Try This
Ask yourself:
What part of my financial story still feels heavy? Tender? Unforgiven?
Whose voice lives in that place? What story do I want to write instead?
Then choose one small act of sacred repair:
- Forgive yourself for one decision
- Begin to tend to a debt with softness, not shame
- Rename a past chapter not as failure, but as part of your becoming
Whisper:
I am not broken. I am becoming.
🌙 Parting Thought
You are not meant to be spotless.
You are meant to be sovereign.
And your ability to repair—gently, lovingly, imperfectly—
is the truest wealth of all.
