Most of us have HUGE resistance to doing money work — at least in the beginning.
An elegant, successful client of mine once told me: she’d rather talk about her sex life than her bank accounts!
And even when we know that we “should” work on our money — we’re still resistant.
Talk to a bookkeeper? Yikes! Look at our income and spending with our honey? Run away!!
There’s a name for this resistance. It’s not just fear. It’s shame. Money Shame. And we’ve all got it.
That’s why the “tough love” approach to money absolutely positively doesn’t work. Because it’s just piling more shame upon shame.
The only way out of Money Shame … is through. Gently, gently, gently.
Curl up, pour yourself a cuppa, and let me tell you a story about a woman who overcame Money Shame … and actually learned to recognize the gifts hidden within it.
