The hidden money stories shaping you
You probably don’t remember the first time you learned about money.
But you did.
Maybe someone said, “Money doesn’t grow on trees,”
Or “We can’t afford that right now.”
Or maybe it was a subtle message, like being praised for saving and quietly shamed for spending.
We absorb these things early.
And before we know it, they become part of the story we tell ourselves about money.
Stories like:
“If I just made more, things would finally feel easier.”
“I’m not good with numbers, so I’ll never be good with money.”
“I should always be saving, just in case.”
“I don’t really need much—I’ll be fine.”
None of these are inherently bad.
But the problem is we usually aren’t aware of them, and they quietly run the show.
They shape how we spend.
How we save.
How we feel about what we can and can’t have.
And even how we define “enough.”
Here’s what I’ve found after working with women and couples over the last 20 years:
Most money stress isn’t really about the numbers.
It’s about what we believe those numbers mean, based on our money stories.
The good news?
Money stories aren’t set in stone.
Once you become aware of them, you can start to ask:
Is this belief helping me—or holding me back?
And that’s when things start to shift.
Because money isn’t just a math problem.
It’s a mindset, a relationship, and a tool to shape a life you love.
