Let’s face it. Most people are living paycheck to check and this COVID-19 pandemic is making finances even more precarious.

I’m not going to gaslight you into believing that your bank account balance is entirely your fault.

I can write a whole diatribe about Wall Street, the top 1%, systemic racism, and capitalism posing as democracy.

If I wrote about that, you will feel helpless and defeated about your ability to recover from your financial situation.

Instead, I want to focus what IS in your control— your money story.

What is a money story?

A person’s money story is the internal narrative and set of beliefs they’ve come to understand about wealth, poverty, and a person’s predisposition to either one. This includes financial trauma they’ve experienced, as well as generational “curses” around money that’s been passed down.

(See my article, “Generational Curses: How to End Trauma with Practice, Work, and Ritual.”)

You can overcome your money story by noticing how you use it, by doing “shadow work” to uproot it, and by developing new habits. Read more to learn how. @heyymrsmcdaniel

What are 4 ways your money story shows up?

I wrote a comprehensive article, “What Your Money Habits Reveal About You.” In it, I break down 4 revelations that can be related to one’s:

✔️ Problem solving skills

✔️Self-esteem

✔️Spiritual relationships

✔️Walking in your purpose

What it is not: It is not an indictment on those that do not earn a living wage. That’s capitalism, greed, and systemic oppression’s fault.
