Do You Have Shame Around the Issue of Money?

Money. It’s a topic that can spark a myriad of emotions — pride, anxiety, hope, insecurity, and for many women, even shame. Have you ever felt embarrassed about asking for a raise, stressed about paying bills, or guilty for spending money on yourself, insecure and guilty about not affording to pay your own way through life? If so, you’re not alone. Money shame runs deep, often stemming from ancestral lessons, societal pressures, and deeply internalized limiting beliefs.

But here’s the most important truth: Money is just energy. It’s a frequency that reflects your relationship with yourself. Notice immediately. how that truth lands in your body and mind: Do you shrug it away as being “mumbo-jumbo”? It’s not! And the good news? You can heal your money story.

The Roots of Money Shame

From an early age, many of us absorb unspoken (or explicitly stated) lessons about money:

  • “Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
  • “It’s hard to make ends meet.”
  • “Rich people are greedy.”
  • “Clean your plate.”
  • “You’ve got to work hard for the money.”

These phrases may seem harmless, but over time, they embed themselves in our psyche, creating limiting beliefs that whisper: You don’t deserve abundance. But you do. And it’s time you unlearned anything else that keeps you in the vibration of money shame.

For women especially, the shame around money can be amplified by cultural norms. Historically, women were often excluded from financial decision-making, creating a cycle of dependency that’s hard to break. If your ancestors struggled to survive or had to sacrifice their dreams due to financial limitations, that energetic imprint may still be influencing you today.

In my own life, I came from a long line of pioneer stock women who “walked across the prairie pulling handcarts” to make a better life elsewhere. Stories of hardship and struggle were the thickest thread in the weave of my ancestral tapestry. And those stories of how difficult life is, had to be released, lest my life continuously be “difficult.” It takes continuous mindfulness–awareness as perhaps the greatest, most valuable tool in my self-love toolbox–to be aware of any thoughts that are best observed, forgiven, healed, and ultimately released.

How Money Reflects Self-Love

What I hope to convey to you, is that your relationship with money is a mirror of your relationship with yourself. How you treat money often reflects how you value yourself. Thus, money is self-love. You deserve both money and love….

Think about it:

  • Do you give away your time and energy without asking for fair compensation?
  • Do you avoid looking at your bank account, as though ignoring it will make the problem disappear?
  • Do you feel guilty when you indulge in something that brings you joy?

These guilt and avoidance behaviors are often rooted in a lack of self-worth. Healing your money story isn’t just about balancing a budget or earning more — it’s about recognizing that you are worthy of abundance. When you start to love and value yourself, your financial reality begins to shift.

Money as a Frequency

Let’s demystify money for a moment. At its core, money is a form of energy exchange. Just as you tune a radio to pick up a specific frequency, you can align your own energy with the frequency of abundance. This means releasing the shame, guilt, and fear that keep you stuck in scarcity and stepping into a vibration of confidence, gratitude, and openness to receive. You deserve money and love (Have I mentioned that before?).

Healing your money story starts with identifying the beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you. It means rewriting those narratives and embracing the idea that having money is not only okay but a form of self-care and self-love. And not to be offensive, but I’ll state the obvious again: You deserve money and love. Healing money shame is a powerful act of self-care.

Your Path to Financial Empowerment

Imagine a life where money flows to you with ease. Where you no longer feel guilty for investing in yourself. Where abundance isn’t just a dream but a reality. This isn’t wishful thinking — it’s possible. And it starts with you.

In my book, INFINITE PIE: From Finance to Romance, the Parallel Feminine Frequency of Money & Love, I dive deep into the connection between your self-worth, your love life, and your financial well-being. Through practical exercises, empowering stories, and insights that challenge the status quo, you’ll learn how to:

  • Uncover and release limiting beliefs about money.
  • Understand the energetic frequency of abundance.
  • Align your financial habits with self-love and empowerment.
  • Re-write your money story on your terms.
  • Create a life that reflects the love and abundance you deserve.

Take the First Step

Healing your relationship with money is one of the most powerful acts of self-love you can undertake. It’s not just about dollars and cents; it’s about valuing yourself enough to claim the abundant life you deserve. When you really get your mind and heart around that idea that money is self-love, forgive the woman of the past, and step into the new you –a woman who is worthy and deserving, and is now practicing receiving. Because you are worthy. You are deserving of the life you desire….

So, let me ask you again: Do you have shame around the issue of money? If the answer is yes, know that you have the power to transform that shame into confidence, freedom, and joy.

Your journey to financial empowerment and self-love starts here. It’s time to release that shame and own your power! Grab your copy of INFINITE PIE today and step into the abundant, love-filled life you were always meant to live.

  • During the current zeitgeist of chaos and inhumanity, it's easy to doom scroll and hide beneath the covers; harder to get out of bed each day and focus on the things you can control, on the things that feed your soul, instead of all that threatens your wellness and peace of mind. 

I'm not saying don't be informed. Frankly, I can think of little else that's less palatable than an ignorant, uniformed person, or worse, a person who is informed, yet does nothing to create change in her world. 

Sometimes though, it's critical to bring in the focus to what you love in order to balance out the energies of what you loathe. 

This is a reminder to do more of what you love, to remember to breathe and to mindfully tend to your needs. We need you strong, and that means taking care of yourself, and doing more of what you love.

  • Does THIS resonate? On the outside, you’re confident. Accomplished. You should feel fulfilled. But deep down, there's that whisper... that quiet ache of not enough.

Why? Because if your self-worth is tied to external validation—applause, approval, or how others perceive you—you’re outsourcing your confidence to people who were never meant to hold it. That’s why so many successful women still feel unseen, unimportant, or unworthy.

Here’s the truth:
Self-worth is an inside job—it’s knowing you’re enough without permission.
Self-esteem? That’s borrowed. It depends on praise… and disappears when approval fades.

And here’s a surprising twist… 
👉 The women who most align with society’s beauty standards often have the lowest self-worth. Why? Because Western culture has weaponized beauty—selling unattainable ideals to keep women chasing (and paying for) “perfection.”

But true beauty? It’s not in airbrushed ads. It’s in your kindness. Your power. Your presence. It’s knowing your worth—without needing permission. That’s confidence.

So here’s your reminder:
You don’t need applause to be enough. You don’t need a mirror’s approval to shine. You were never meant to fit into a mold that was designed to keep you small. You were born to rise.
