Money touches every area of our lives.
It influences the work we do which is often how we spend a majority of our time. It affects where we live, what we eat and what we do. It shifts how we show up in our relationships, bleeding into our marriages and our family dynamics. It dictates the things we say yes to, and the things we say no to. And it impacts how we think about and feel about ourselves, the world around us and our lives.
Money is a big deal—not because of the numbers in our bank account, but because of the complex relationship we have with it.
Your relationship with money is the way you think about, feel about and use your money. And, for most people, that relationship is shaped by old beliefs and fears we rarely stop to question.
We’re taught things like:
- There’s never enough to go around.
- You can’t make money doing what you love.
- Having more money means you’re greedy.
- You have to work harder and sacrifice more to deserve it.
Beliefs like these quietly drive the choices we make when it comes to money. About where we choose to spend it, and how we choose to make it. They lead us to feel stressed about making ends meet, guilty for wanting more, or stuck in jobs and lives that don’t fulfill us.
We start to believe that money is the one in control—deciding the kind of life we can and can’t live.
Many people think the way to break free from money’s grip is to simply make more of it. So they hustle harder, take on more and keep pushing—believing that one day they’ll finally have enough to live the life they want, without money holding them back.
But here’s the truth: The amount of money you have isn’t what determines your freedom. Your relationship with money does.
That’s why so many people, no matter how much they earn, still feel the same pressure, scarcity and stress. The external circumstances change, but the internal story stays the same.
The good news is, this can change—starting now.
When you begin to understand and shift your relationship with money, by changing the way you think about, feel about and use it, you take back your power. You stop seeing money as something that controls you, and start using it as a tool to create the life you want to live.
It’s possible to change the way we feel about money—to feel like we have enough and begin living fulfilling lives we love. And we can only do this by transforming our relationship to the money we already have.
And that is what I call abundance.
