#10: Money Mindset Work Burnt Me the F*ck Out!

I am a money coach, but these 3 words make me cringe:

Money Mindset Work.

If I had a dime for every person who came into my care feeling broken and burnt out from doing all the money mindset work without seeing any improvement to their beliefs about money and their worth.

It honestly breaks my heart every single time. And this topic is near and dear to me because I got quite burnt out on doing money mindset work which left me feeling more broken because I didn’t “believe” enough. 

I was overwhelmed with anxiety when I was at the peak of my money stuff. And I was SO angry because it seemed like everyone else was in on a secret that I wasn’t privy to. I was full of “negative feelings” like resentment, jealousy, and worst of all, loneliness. 

Mainstream coaching practices and my colleagues at the time sold me the tale that mindset work would be the solution to my problems. I joined multiple programs that promised words like “abundance” and “empowerment” and all that other jargon. It felt good to be in these groups, I got high on that dopamine hit and the promises that if only I believed hard enough then all my dreams would come true. 

And there is a smidge of truth to that… but after that dopamine high, I was left dry, defective, and lonelier than ever. 

I feel so passionately about this topic, and I want to extend a virtual hug to each and every one of you who tried to heal your money stress and overwhelm using mindset work, only to feel more stressed out and broken. 

In this episode I will be covering:

• My personal story with money mindset work. 
• How your breakthroughs and your aha moments will NOT heal your wounds. 
• Why exactly money mindset work is not the whole equation, but a teeny tiny part of it. 
• The notion that we can simply make different choices to affect the change we want to see in our lives is a crock load of crap!
• How money mindset work can be a socially acceptable coping mechanism that gaslights your trauma.
• How mindset work is mind centric and can coach you out of feeling the full range of your feelings. 
• And how your negative emotions are the key to transforming your reality, not the obstacle. 
• How Trauma Informed care can help you. 

And I will be sharing a trauma informed approach exercise that will help you shift your most stubborn, self sabotaging behaviors in a way that will actually make a difference so you can start seeing the changes you want to see in your life just from listening to this episode.
