In this episode, I discuss the difference I believe between financial freedom vs. financial ease.
Financial freedom is defined as having enough cash, savings and investments to pay for your living expenses for the rest of your life. Even though some of us might match the definition of financial freedom, we don't feel ease with our money.
For some people, financial freedom can be laced with actions like hoarding, protecting and limiting the use of our funds because it is coming from a belief seeded in lack, fear and scarcity.
I want us to change the way we think and feel about our finances and experience financial ease. Ease in our bodies when we have, grow and generate our money.
Questions you can ask yourself:
- What are some of the beliefs that I have right now that do not create financial ease in my body?
- What are the primary feelings that I am feeling when I think about my money?
- What are some beliefs that I can adopt that will allow me to feel neutral about money?
- How do I want to feel about money?

#12 How to transform your relationship with money
Got a question? Send me a text.
In this episode, I break down the difference between 3D and 5D money.
As little as 8% (some resources cite 4%) of the money in the circulation exists in physical form. The only reason why the system doesn’t collapse is because we all collectively believe in it.
The true value is within us, WE are what creates money.
3D Money is the physical part of money like cash, investments (401K/IRA/SEP/Roth/Mutual Funds/Stocks/ETF’s, etc), debt, taxes, etc.
5D money is our FEELINGS about it.
Money is energy, it is a vibration that we FEEL. List out your thoughts about money, what are some of the thoughts you consistently think about money? How do you feel when you think about your money?
Many of us have generated our money from lack, scarcity and fear and even though we can do this, being able to generate money from a place of love and abundance feels so.much.better.
Before we can change anything, we first get to see where we are.
Once you have gotten clear on how you currently think and feel about money, you can decide how you actually want to feel about it and what stories are standing in your way from feeling that way now.

#14 What is Financial Abuse?
Got a question? Send me a text.
In this episode, I define what financial abuse is and how it can show up in our relationships.
This is a topic that I believe isn’t really discussed much.
I want to note that I am not a therapist or doctor and I’ve seen this so many times between spouses/partners, parents and their own children, and at times with adult children and their parents.
I believe the underlying theme and belief around financial abuse comes back to control and when we are trying to control someone, what we are really feeling is fear.
Ways that financial abuse presents itself in a relationship, whether you are on the receiving or giving end (this list isn't all inclusive):
- You have set "allowances” or “budgets” without your input.
- You are required to account for everything you spend down to the penny.
- You partner feels entitled to your money or assets.
- There is control on how all of the household finances are spent.
- There might be a limit to your ability to attend job training, pursue higher education, or otherwise advance your career, yet they are buying all the programs, coaching, business education to further themselves.
- Limits your access to your own bank account or mutual bank accounts.
- Maxes out credit cards or simply uses credit cards in your name without your knowledge.
- Threatens to cut you off financially when you disagree.
- Uses funds from children’s savings account without mutual agreement.
- Having to ask for money for basic needs.
- Not listed as an owner on the legal paperwork for assets
If you feel that you might be on the receiving end of someone who is financially abusive, you can contact the National Relationship Abuse Hotline at 800-799-7233.
