🌿 A Gentle Beginning
Before you ever tracked a budget or charged a client,
your body was already holding money.
Holding your parents’ stress.
Holding the tension of “not enough.”
Holding the guilt of wanting more.
Holding the fear of losing what little you had.
And still—it tried to keep you safe.
Today, we don’t try to fix it.
We just listen to it.
💫 The Body Remembers
Your nervous system doesn’t speak in numbers.
It speaks in tension. Shallow breath. Tight shoulders. A clenching jaw.
When you open a bill, check your balance, talk about pricing—
What happens in your body?
That’s where your story lives.
And that’s where your healing begins.
You don’t have to logic your way into abundance.
You can breathe your way there.
🕯 Try This
Choose one small money interaction today:
- Checking your account
- Paying a bill
- Saying your prices out loud
- Looking at your income
Before you do it, pause.
Place a hand on your body. Breathe.
Then ask:
What sensation is here? What does it want me to know?
Is this mine? Or something I inherited?
Can I offer softness to this part of me?
If your body could speak in this moment,
what would it say?
🌙 Parting Thought
You don’t need to force safety.
You can create it—breath by breath, moment by moment, body to body.
This is how wealth begins:
in the place where you learn to stay with yourself.
