Is Your Relationship with Money Like a Bad Reality TV Show?
Is Your Relationship with Money Like a Bad Reality TV Show?
Ever feel like your relationship with money is like a bad reality TV show? One minute, everything feels wonderful, and you’re on top of the world… and the next, it feels like the rug has been pulled out from under you. A sale didn’t go through, unexpected bills show up, and forgotten expenses start piling up, sucking the life out of you.
And then… that familiar anxiety creeps back in. 💔
It doesn’t come alone; it brings its annoying friends: self-doubt, self-judgment, and shame.
Why Does This Happen?
Here’s the thing: money relationships can get complicated. And guess what? It’s not your fault.
Our money stories often begin in childhood. Let me share an example:
Jen* remembered being five years old, seeing a beautiful new doll in the store that she wanted so badly. When she asked her mom for it, her mom responded, voice tinged with sadness, "You can't have it; we can't afford it."
Now, as a mom myself, I get it—sometimes that’s a valid response. But the problem is what the little child inside of us makes it mean. In Jen’s case, she interpreted it as: "Don’t ask for things, because people will feel bad." 😩
Can You See How This Plays Out in Her Business?
The impact of this story runs deep:
- It makes it difficult for her to express her needs, wants, and desires.
- It makes it hard for her to take up space and share her gifts.
- It creates blocks around having sales conversations and sharing her beautiful work with clients who desperately need her support.
