I Thought Earning More Would Fix Everything

Published 3 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,

​

Wealth and Wisdom Monday's You can't heal what you cannot name. Here’s what I mean: That lump in your throat when you open your bank app isn’t “just nerves.” It’s your body remembering when money meant danger or shame. Money anxiety is old alarms still ringing. When you name it (“balance panic,” “bill dread,” “bank app avoidance”) you stop running and say, “I see you.
