Summary

Are you avoiding your finances? Join me as I uncover the hidden reasons behind this common money block and how it might be affecting your abundance.

In this solo episode of the Plenty podcast, I’m diving into a common money block I see, especially among women: financial avoidance. We often hear ourselves saying, “I just don’t want to think about it,” but this avoidance can really sabotage our financial well-being. I’ll share the root causes of this pattern, including societal conditioning and unconscious beliefs around power and victimization. Plus, I’ll offer some tips on how to shift from avoidance to engagement, build your capacity to handle money with ease, and step into a more abundant and empowered financial reality. If you’re ready to break free from old patterns and create a healthier, more pleasurable relationship with money, this episode is for you. And don’t forget to grab my free “Money Reset” resource to start rewiring your approach to wealth!
