This was a refreshing read. So many of us carry quiet guilt for spending on things that actually support our well-being — like a course, tool, or even just rest. I’m realizing that sometimes what feels like “selfish” spending is actually an investment in becoming more grounded, productive, and generous overall.
Thanks! Becoming intentional about your money starts with looking at how you grew up understanding money, and how that carried you to where you are right now.
By peeling away those layers you can, in the process, decide what has worked for you and what has not. Then INTENTIONALLY choose what to keep, what to throw away and what you perhaps realize you need to re-shape, learn, and/or position yourself to experience.
IN LOVE WITH THIS! I think that a lot of times ppl are raised to think of money only for something that pays bills and helps you continue to survive, especially if you grow up poor or very low income. The biggest challenge out there to me at least is learning to develop a healthier relationship with money and let go of the urge to hoard, penny pinch, and restrict finances. Teaching yourself to think of money from a more abundant frame of mind is so similar to the process of learning to trust in yourself and set sail with the intention of steering your own ship and following your own life mission.

Absolutely Abdulla! Thank you for naming that so clearly. When spending is aligned with your well-being, it’s not selfish—it’s sustainable.
