Especially for women

A few years ago, I found myself sitting on the edge of my bed at 2 a.m., staring at my bank app as if the numbers might magically rearrange themselves. I’d just gotten another “unexpected” bill, and my chest felt tight with that familiar cocktail of shame, anxiety, and disbelief.

How is it that I keep ending up here?

I was doing all the things working long hours, posting on social media, journaling affirmations about abundance but somehow, my money always seemed to slip through my fingers. One month, a surprise expense. The next, a launch that didn’t hit. It wasn’t just about numbers anymore; it was about identity. I felt like I was constantly being tested by the universe.

If this sounds familiar, know this: you’re not broken, lazy, or bad with money. You’re just running an old energetic program that no longer matches the version of you you’re becoming.

The Hidden Pattern Beneath the Chaos

Financial chaos often isn’t random. It’s a mirror.

It reflects the places where our nervous systems still don’t feel safe holding abundance. Where our subconscious believes that “too much” money might invite judgment, loss, or abandonment.

For many creators and entrepreneurs, money is tangled up with stories of worthiness. We learned to equate struggle with virtue. We were praised for our resilience, but not our ease. We were taught that we had to earn comfort that it couldn’t simply be allowed.

So when abundance starts to flow, the subconscious panics. It whispers, This feels unfamiliar. Unsafe. Let’s sabotage it before it hurts.

As Carl Jung said:

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

Financial chaos is rarely about poor math, it's about unhealed energy.

Your Nervous System: The Silent Gatekeeper of Abundance

No amount of mindset work will stick if your body doesn’t feel safe receiving.

Your nervous system governs everything, your energy, your confidence, your ability to sustain expansion. When you’re in a chronic state of survival (rushing, overworking, worrying about the next client), your body reads abundance as a threat.

It doesn’t matter how many affirmations you whisper if your system is wired for scarcity, abundance will always feel like a shock.

This is why people who make more money than ever before can still feel broke, anxious, or ungrounded.

To shift this, begin with safety. Create rituals that soothe your body,deep breathing, grounding walks, uncluttered spaces, slow mornings. Show your nervous system that it’s safe to rest. Safe to receive. Safe to hold more.

Abundance expands through the body that believes it can hold it.

Reprogramming the Subconscious

Now, let’s talk about the mind of a quiet storyteller running your financial show.

If your subconscious still believes “money is hard,” “I always mess up finances,” or “I can’t trust myself with wealth,” then you’ll unconsciously recreate chaos to prove those beliefs true.

But here’s the grace in it, beliefs are not life sentences. They’re simply repetitions of thought and feeling that can be rewritten.

You can begin by gently questioning the stories you inherited:

Who taught me what it means to be “good with money”?

When did I first learn that success had to come with sacrifice?

What version of me benefits from staying in struggle and is she ready to let go?

Reprogramming isn’t about force. It’s about compassion. When you meet your old money patterns with softness instead of shame, you dissolve their power.

Try this daily:

Every time a financial fear arises, pause and breathe. Then say, “It’s safe for me to hold more. I’m learning how to receive it with ease.”

The subconscious shifts through repetition and emotion not through logic. Feel the truth of those words in your body.

Energetic Alignment: Money Flows Where Truth Flows

You’ve probably heard the phrase money is energy. But let’s go deeper.

Money mirrors your relationship with life and forces your ability to channel, express, and receive. When you’re in alignment creating from joy, service, and authenticity money often arrives as a natural consequence of that flow.

When you’re creating from fear, proving, or burnout, that energy translates too. It’s not punishment; it’s feedback.

So instead of hustling harder, tune into alignment.

Ask yourself:

Does this offering feel expansive or constricted?

Am I creating to express or to prove?

Would I still do this if I trusted abundance was inevitable?

When you act from alignment, you stop chasing money and start magnetizing it. You become the safe, grounded space it wants to land.

Healing the Feminine Relationship with Money

For generations, women have been told to be grateful for “enough,” to not be too ambitious, and to prioritize stability over sovereignty. Many of us carry ancestral imprints of scarcity where money equated to survival, not self-expression.

Healing your financial chaos isn’t just about paying bills on time. It’s about reclaiming your feminine power to receive without guilt.

It’s about remembering that abundance is not a reward, it's your natural state.

What if ease didn’t mean complacency, but trust?

What if receiving wasn’t greedy, but sacred?

When you start to hold these truths in your body, money begins to respond differently. Opportunities align. Clients appear. Bills get paid with grace.

Because you’re no longer broadcasting chaos you’re broadcasting calm.

A New Financial Frequency

Imagine waking up one morning and realizing you no longer fear checking your bank account.

You make decisions from trust, not tension. You give from overflow, not obligation. You rest without guilt, because your worth isn’t measured by productivity.

This is what it feels like when you stop attracting financial chaos not because life becomes perfect, but because you do.

You stop running on the energy of fear, and start creating from faith.

You embody the truth that abundance is your birthright.

Your Invitation to Step Into Ease

If you’re ready to end the cycle of financial chaos, begin here:

  • Regulate your nervous system daily.
  • Rewrite your limiting beliefs with compassion.
  • Align your creations with truth, not fear.
  • Remember: safety and abundance are not opposites, they are dance partners.

You are safe to hold more.

You are worthy of overflow.

You are allowed to thrive with ease.

The universe responds not to your effort, but to your energy.

Let your new frequency be one of calm, clarity, and confidence and watch how your financial life begins to reflect it.

Because you were never meant to survive in scarcity.

You were meant to thrive in abundance naturally, effortlessly, and unapologetically.
