Let’s talk about money—and no, this isn’t some “manifest it under the next full moon” kind of advice. I’m not here to tell you to light candles, chant affirmations, and wait for your bank account to magically grow (though hey, if that’s your vibe, go for it)
What I’m talking about is mindset—specifically, how your beliefs about money can keep you stuck without you even realizing it.
Here’s the deal: your brain loves patterns. If it’s been running the same story about money for years, it’s going to keep playing that same script over and over.
The good news? You can rewrite it—and you don’t even need a crystal for that.
What Are Money Blocks?
Money blocks are those sneaky, subconscious beliefs that create resistance to earning, keeping, or feeling good about money. They sound like this:
“I have to work twice as hard as everyone else to deserve money.”
“If I make too much, people will judge me.”
“Money always slips through my fingers—I just can’t hold onto it.”
Sound familiar?
These beliefs aren’t random. They’re often shaped by what we heard, saw, or experienced growing up. Maybe you heard things like:
“We can’t afford that.”
“Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
“Rich people are selfish.”
Your brain locked those messages in as “truths” to help you navigate the world. But here’s the catch: they’re not universal truths—they’re just stories your brain is holding onto. And they can be rewritten.
Why Your Money Mindset Matters
Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “Great, more woo-woo,” let’s talk about the science.
Here’s why your mindset isn’t just fluff—it’s backed by psychology and neuroscience:
1️⃣ Your beliefs shape your reality.
If you believe money is hard to earn, your brain will subconsciously find ways to prove that belief right. This is called confirmation bias, and it’s why your mindset matters.
2️⃣ Your brain can change
.Thanks to neuroplasticity, your brain is capable of rewiring itself. Replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones, and you’ll start creating new neural pathways that align with abundance.
3️⃣ Visualization works
.Studies from the University of Chicago show that mentally rehearsing success activates the same neural pathways as actually doing the task. So yes, picturing your financial success isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s brain training.
How to Break Free from Money Blocks
If you’re ready to step into financial abundance in 2025, here’s where to start:
1. Rewrite Your Money Story
Let’s be real: we all have stories about money. The question is, are yours helping or hurting you?
For example:
Old story: “I’ll never have enough.”
New story: “Money flows to me easily because I create value.”
Here’s the trick: write it down and say it out loud every day. I know it might feel awkward at first (like you’re auditioning for a feel-good movie), but repetition rewires your brain.
2. Practice Gratitude for What You Have
Gratitude isn’t just about feeling warm and fuzzy—it’s a psychological tool to shift your focus from scarcity to abundance.
Try this: every day, write down three things you’re grateful for about money. For example:
“I’m grateful for the income I earn.”
“I’m grateful for the freedom to support my family.”
“I’m grateful for opportunities to grow.”
When you focus on what’s going right, your brain starts scanning for more reasons to feel abundant.
3. Visualize Your Financial Freedom
Here’s where science meets creativity: spend five minutes a day imagining your ideal financial life. Picture yourself confidently managing your money, saying yes to exciting opportunities, and living with ease and freedom.
It might feel a little strange at first (like you’re daydreaming during a meeting), but this practice trains your brain to believe success is possible—and to take actions that align with that belief.
4. Reframe Failure as Feedback
Let’s get something straight: failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s part of the process.
Every rejection I’ve faced this year taught me something valuable. Not every opportunity worked out, but each one brought me closer to the right fit.
Here’s my favorite reframe: rejection isn’t failure—it’s redirection.
So, the next time you hear “no,” instead of spiraling, ask yourself: What can I learn from this?
5. Heal the Root Cause
Sometimes, your money blocks run deeper than affirmations and gratitude journals can reach. That’s where tools like Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) come in.
RTT helps uncover the root of your limiting beliefs, reframe them, and rewire your subconscious to support abundance. Imagine stepping into 2025 free from the weight of “I’m not good enough” or “Money is too stressful.”
My 2024 Money Mindset Shifts
This year, I leaned into the uncomfortable work of rewriting my money story. Here’s what I’ve learned:
Rejection is redirection. Every “no” brought me closer to the right “yes.”
Charging what you’re worth is an act of self-respect. When you value yourself, others will too.
Success thrives in the right environment. Surrounding yourself with inspiring, growth-minded people is a game-changer.
For 2025, my focus is simple: curiosity, gratitude, and bold action.
Your 2025 Action Plan
Here’s how you can start:
1️⃣ Write down one limiting belief about money you’re ready to leave behind.
2️⃣ Replace it with an empowering belief.
3️⃣ Take one bold action toward financial abundance—even if it feels scary.
