I Thought Earning More Would Fix Everything

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

Hey hey,

When I finally started making more money, I swore things would finally be different.

I could finally breathe. I could finally stop stressing about money. I could finally take my daughter on the vacation I’d been dreaming about.

​

​

But instead of peace, I felt pressure.

The bills still piled up. The guilt was heavier. And my money shame? It just got more expensive.

I was spending to escape, swiping to numb, and avoiding my bank account like it was holding my secrets hostage. And even though I knew better—I still felt stuck.

​

Until I started asking better questions.

Not, “How do I make more?”
But, “What does enough feel like?”
Not, “What’s wrong with me?”
But, “What story am I carrying about money, and who taught me that?”

That’s when everything shifted.

Now, as a licensed therapist and financial counselor, I teach other high-achieving professionals how to stop the self-blame and start building aligned wealth—without shame, sacrifice, or perfection.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
My weekly newsletter is for you.

Every week, I send real stories, mindset tools, and financial healing strategies that help you build a relationship with money that actually feels good.

Because you don’t just deserve wealth.
​

You deserve peace with it.

With gratitude,

​
