What’s holding you back from leading the life you really want?
So often women have a fear around money and carry feelings of guilt and shame. You may think these feelings are experienced by women on a low income or women who struggle to meet their spending needs.
But these disempowered emotions are not in fact related to how much money you have. You are as likely to experience these if you have large sums of money as if you had low funds.
I have often spoken to women who have high net worth, are high earners, and have money saved. They have enough money for a very nice lifestyle. And yet they have a fear of money. They have a fear of stopping work.
Because if they stop work, maybe they won’t be able to afford the nice things they have come to enjoy. So often, this fear is unfounded.
But actually, just because the fear is unfounded doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel real to you. If you wake up in the middle of the night panicking about your finances, that panic is real to you. It doesn’t matter if somebody tells you that you don’t need to panic. The feeling is real.
There are so many emotions tied up with money, both positive and negative. But so often it is the negative emotions I hear from my clients.
What I love to do is help women to get rid of their fear around money.
Imagine the following:
· you understand money and feel comfortable with it
· you know you have enough money to achieve what you want
· you understand what fears are holding you back and what you can do to change that.
· you stop putting off all the things you plan to do one day and start doing them now.
This is why I became a certified coach, as well as a financial advisor and a financial planner.
There is so much more to money than just knowing the rules as to how to save and look after money. So often what is holding us back from leading the life we really want is the voice in our head, telling us we can’t do what we want.
Do you have a voice in your head telling you “You can’t be wealthy” “You can’t afford to give up work”?
If you recognise this voice, and it’s holding you back from achieving what you would really love to achieve, why not book a Possibility Call with me. We could look at what it is you would really love to achieve and how to make 2022 the year you achieve this.

Help, where has all my money gone?
Does it sound familiar that no matter how much income you earn in a month it all seems to be gone by the end. You promise yourself that when you get a pay rise, or when you land that big contract, then you will start saving. But actually, you do get a pay rise, you…
Do you have enough?
A recent report by Fidelity entitled “Financial Power of Women” highlighted the fact that although many women saved on a regular basis, they were more comfortable putting their money into cash rather than investing in the stock market. Cash savings are very important, and we should all have a cash buffer…our emergency cash. Ideally this should…
Do you bury your head in the sand regarding your finances?
I have some clients who come to me feeling almost shell shocked their husband has asked for a divorce. In many instances these women weren’t even aware there was a problem in their marriage. Some clients come to me and they’ve known for a long time their marriage wasn’t right, they weren’t happy, but they…
