Hi!

So nice to meet you. I’m Shannon and I’m a recovering hide-from-my-money person.

I know why you don’t want to look at your money…

You’re scared to log into your bank account (as long as it isn’t pay day).

You’re scared to talk about money (unless you’re talking about how broke you are)

You’re scared to look at your credit card statement.

You’re panicked when an unexpected expense comes up. You check your bank account and see the money taken out of your account, that you didn’t account for this month..

You throw around words like “expensive, I can’t afford, wish I was born with rich parents..” all the time.

You also will look at something in a store and try to figure out how you can DIY it or find it for cheaper.. the idea of quality doesn’t really to you.. everything is about how much something costs..

You know what that panic about money feels like in your body.. it happens late at night as your calculating expenses and when you’ll get money.. then realizing that you don’t have enough for all the bills

You know you “should be better with money” you have those thoughts all the time but not sure what being better with money looks like…

Of course, there’s lots of reasons that you haven’t done better with money..

your income isn’t consistent OR
you just don’t make enough money, you just barely scrap by with what you have now OR
you have a budget.. it’s in your head.. you know your expenses

The SHAME around money is REAL.

Money feels scary.

Money feels unpredictable.

Money feels unsafe.

Money mostly feels.. “NOT FOR YOU”, it’s for everybody else or for that people who have help, rich parents, rich spouses, but it’s mostly just..”NOT FOR YOU”

Money is FOR YOU, I promise.

This never ending struggle you’ve been having with money changes when you’re desire to end this struggle is bigger than holding on to the struggle.

Think about your relationship to money right now as a relationship to another person: would it be considered toxic? A relationship where you don’t want to look at the problems even though things aren’t good?

Would you consider this a good relationship when you ignore all the problems and the shitty way it makes you feel right?

Look at your relationship to money as THAT, a relationship that has to be addressed.

There is no shame here, this is a very normal, normal, NORMAL scenario for so many people, no one talks or teaches about money and then we feel shame for not being educated about it. It’s like sex, we’re just supposed to know how to be amazing at it the first time… RIGGHHHTTT.

It’s just a relationship like all the other relationships in your life.. like the relationship you have with a friend, or a parent, or a lover.. if it was broken, you would fix it.

I want you to know that you don’t have to feel shitty for being a in a bad place with money either, whether it’s you were bad with money and made bad decisions, or that you feel really crappy about how much money you make and where your money goes, or that you just don’t know what you should be doing with your money.

Don’t feel shitty about this ^, you didn’t freaking know but you can change, this relationship can change…

If you’re here you WANT to change your relationship to money, you don’t want to be on this same struggle path.

You crave something different.

This is your eviction notice for all those crappy habits you’ve been having with money.

This is your notice that this relationship needs WORK NOW.
