A wonderful read! What stood out the most for me was when you spoke on forgiving yourself! I have been wrestling here lately for not managing an inheritance the way I should. I walk around almost every day feeling horrible. However, after reading that line, it did something to me! I may never again have the finances that I once had, but I certainly do not have to walk around beating myself up over the situation. It is truly time to make peace and be thankful for what I have remaining and moving forward, practice stewarding well!!!!!! I thank you.
Yes to all of this! It comes down to facing money and our relationship with it. People are so connected to money as self-worth, the first thing I say to people I've coached or helped is that money is not who you are, and how much or how little you have doesn't say anything about you. Your work in talking about money openly is so important and helps a lot of people.
Thank you so much for this Deidre. You're right—facing money means facing so many layers of identity, fear, and past experiences. Reminding people that money isn't their worth is powerful. The more we talk about it openly, the more we free people from shame and help them make clearer, stronger choices. I appreciate your voice in this too.
Very true! If anyone has a deep interest in money, i recommend you check out, “The Bitcoin Standard”, by Saifedean Ammous. The first half of the book doesn’t even discuss Bitcoin, rather it takes the reader on a deep dive into exploring the question of, what is money? The book will walk you through the entire history of money and the valuable role it has played in shaping human society & culture.
Most people try to change their money mindset with knowledge. But mindset lives in the nervous system, not just the brain.You can’t rewire your finances until you regulate your reactions. That’s why I write about Bitcoin and financial survival mode.
Yk you have a point here the money dates are an excellent idea to help a person get more comfortable with reviewing their spending for the month and looking at those numbers plain as day. I think that if this practice is done for a long enough period of time the scarcity mindsets and anxiety around spending will drastically increase which would lead to as you said a person feeling more secure in the ways they spend, think, attract, speak about, and use their money. I also like the part of this article that talked about choosing work that aligns with your values and what would fulfill you even if the pay is not as great. However. I will say that the work you choose either has to set you up for a better opportunity in the future or provide you with a clear advantage or set of perks in the present. Moreover, the work you choose needs to be either Ai accommodating or Ai resilient so that you at least have armor for the future and are better able to perceiver.
Excellent. Absolutely excellent. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your support Dianne.
I am humbled by the mindset structuring ,insights brought to the attention of our very situations
Thank you for sharing that. It means a lot. We're all in this together, learning and growing one step at a time.
1st one’s a banger. Stop chasing money. Become valuable and money will chase you.
Thanks JD!

Thanks for the recommendation.
A great list, especially five and six. It took me a while to learn those two myself.
Thank you! Same here—five and six were lessons I had to learn the hard way. Glad they resonated with you.
Holy Gpt.
