Although I didn’t realize it at the time, when I was younger I used gift giving to gain love, approval, control and admiration. People seem to think that the less control you exert over your environment, the less control you have over your money, but I found exactly the opposite to be true for me.…
When I went through my coach training, we used various metaphor tools to help illuminate how we felt about different areas of our lives. An example of this would be to consider your answer to the following question: If your money was a person, place or thing to you, what would it be? Some of…
I have met many finance-professional types who turn their noses up at manifestation principles, but I am not one of them! Law of Attraction (LOA) helps people become more spiritual about their money, and provides another perspective and set of tools to help people reach their financial goals more quickly, and more in alignment with…
There was a time in my life when I believed that hard work and “proving myself” were the keys to getting a pay increase and financial success. I believed that if I showed my employers what a valuable employee I was, they would reward me appropriately. I didn’t realize until much later that my lack of emphasis…
We all arrange our lives to match our perception of money. There is an upper money ceiling that prevents you from busting through your money “comfort zone,” and a lower limit that prevents you from financially crashing.

You’re fat. You’re poor. You’re unemployed (or making no money). You’re unhealthy. You’re alone. And you have no one to blame but yourself. OUCH.

We already know that psychics don’t win the lottery, so if the people who are already most tuned into their intuition can’t profit from it, how can a normal person do it? Why should we try? The reason we need to continually hone our intuition is that no other resource gives us better life navigation. …
Attachment to outcome is the idea that a situation must play out in a certain way in the best interests of your life, relationship, business etc. People decide that there is only ONE solution and then become fixated on making that happen, regardless of obstacles or other data. When this happens, you’re not only ignoring…
Love this quote from Abraham: Questions for contemplation: Where are you justifying your existence through your hard work? Where do you equate success or results with your struggle? Are you proud of the struggles you face? Do you identify with being a problem solver? Steps to take: How can you give yourself a break this week? Where…
In previous posts, I’ve discussed how codependent money behavior can be confused for generosity toward other people—but that at its core, it’s a cover for not being personally fulfilled.
