Rewire Your Money

09/01/2026

My parents made some really bad decisions about money in their 40's, that impacted them for the rest of their lives

My step-dad worked as a Management Accountant, earned a good salary and as a result we had a big house and garden. We were the first family in the street to have a microwave, a colour tv and a stereo system.

Trouble was he worked 6 days a week, leaving home before I woke up and coming home after I'd gone to bed. He rarely had time to eat so he survived on black coffee, ci******es and one meal a day

And then at 42 years old, he broke his ankle, slipping down a staircase at work

It was financial year-end and he needed to work, so he didn't get it plastered

And within a year he couldn't walk to the end of our street

6 months later he suffered a burnout and never worked again

I remember him taking out multiple credit cards (using the next one to pay of the previous one) trying to pay the bills....until our house was repossessed (which my mom is still paying for today at 83 years old)

They had no friends, no hobbies and little time for us kids

By 63 my step-dad was dead from a combination of diabetes, obesity and lung disease

I'm not sharing this because I'm looking for sympathy but because I hear similar stories from my clients all the time.

It's why I'm so passionate about breaking the generational trauma cycle around money

I know the mental, physical and emotional legacy my parents passed on to me

One that drove me into repeating the same pattern of debt, dysfunctional relationships and low self worth

If you've got a story (or several) about your parents and money

And you're feeling exhausted, deeply sad and lonely

I want you to know that your parents relationship with money doesn't have to be your future

How do you set your money goal for the year?

Do you:
1. Pick a number (the bigger the better)
2. Add a % onto last years target
3. Calculate your life-style needs
4. Or go off what you want to sell

Whichever method you use, doesn't really matter

But how you feel about that number DOES

If you're excited....great..go for it!

But if you're hoping and wishing or there's a touch of disbelief already, then your nervous system is letting you know there's a problem

Maybe there's a belief (or several), an emotion (or two) or a habit (or three) that if left unresolved will make you work REALLY hard and sabotage your profits for the year

How does that sound? Lots of hard work and no money 😲

Don't wish and hope for the money you want this year

I went into hiding on Dec 19th...

I dislike the social media noise over the Christmas and New Year break

All the gym memberships, the shiny objects you absolutely need to have
And the cleverly disguised selling

It's bad enough most of the year but I find that over the last 2 weeks
If I'm not careful my planning for the next year, goes off course

It's foundations aren't about what I would love to have (more peace and joy)
Who I want to become or reach
Or the contribution and relationships I want to make to the people around me

Instead my social comparison takes over
Other people's definition of success emerge in my mind
My greed gets fired up on seeing what others have
My jealous ignites at how much further ahead other people are
And my Inner Critic moves into high alert pushing me harder and faster

So this year I decided to disconnect and I'm so glad I did

I'm now back in my office, feeling refreshed, energised and optimistic

I hope you had time to breathe, relax and unwind
And if you didn't ....it's not too late to start

62% of people in a recent survey said their NY resolution was to improve their health 💪

But only 4% 😲 wanted to improve their financial situation, save more or spend less

That's CRAZY!

Why isn't it everyone's resolution?

Because when it comes to changing our health, we're inspired to "just do it"
We know why its important to change
And we're told the steps to take - join a gym, get a trainer, eat less
We're got a map of what to do

Yet when it comes to money we believe there's "never enough"
We know its important
But we don't know how to change - the steps seem complicated - do I invest first or pay down debt first?
There's no map!

So we focus on what feels easy rather than what's important

Imagine how different 2026 could be if you knew exactly the right steps to take to have more calm, confidence and clarity with money

Want to make more money in your business in 2026?

Yes?

Your decisions about money rely less on numbers and more on your emotional state when you look at them

If you're anxious when you look at your bank account, your nervous system is in fight or flight mode

You'll experience a racing heart, shallow breathing, brain fog, and lots of other stress-related symptoms

And because your nervous system is designed to keep you safe, you'll find yourself daydreaming, procrastinating, or being impulsive with your money

That's why you keep overspending, overgiving or overworking (without the results) - you're stressed

Tapping is a simple to learn but highly effective science-based stress management tool

That with just one session can significantly reduce your anxiety around money

Leaving you with a calmer body, a clearer mind and loads more confidence to make the money you deserve

Are you celebrating your 2025 financial achievements?

The end of 2025 might be a time for celebration if you've had a good year and so it's important to celebrate your progress and own your success

But even if this year has been tough, frustrating or scary financially, its still important to reflect on and record the challenges you've faced and how you've handled them

Notice how life supported you in other ways, besides money

Either way now is the time to be proud of what you've accomplished and what you've got through....no matter how small!

Maybe you refinanced your debt
Maybe you learnt to say no and set some boundaries around money
Perhaps you maintained a strong relationship with your family even though money was tight
Or maybe you appreciate the money you do have, more

Now is not the time to be modest or shy about what you've achieved
No matter how small a step it is

Let's celebrate together and tell me below what you're proud of

My Aunt Norah was a pioneer

And she did it at a time when women were told to be polite, quiet, and especially silent about money

Yet there she was…
one of the few female Lloyd's bank managers in the 1960's
guiding clients, making financial decisions, and standing confidently in her expertise

She didn’t apologise for understanding money
She didn’t doubt her abilities
And she never felt she had to shrink to make others comfortable

Looking back through my family records this weekend, I realise her confidence wasn’t just about numbers .... it was about belief

Belief in her value
Belief in her capability
Belief that she had every right to be in those rooms

And that’s the heart of financial psychology

Money isn’t only about maths
It’s about the stories we carry, the fears we inherited, the habits we learned,
and the courage we build to trust ourselves

So many people know what they should do with money.
What they truly crave is the confidence to make it happen

That’s why I do the work I do
I help people gently release old money patterns, build emotional safety around finances, and step into a more confident and empowered financial relationship with themselves

Not through pressure
Not through shame
Through support, understanding, and mindset shifts that last

If you’re ready to feel more at ease with money
more confident and in-control
If you're ready to let go of all the worry, anxiety and stress
I’d love to support you to be "more Norah"

p.s. Here's Norah's idea for raising more tax - do you agree?

💰 What’s your current money block?

We all have them and they come in many different shapes and sizes

Some are loud and obvious - “I never have enough”

Others are subtle, hidden deep in our subconscious, often inherited from our parents, culture or past experiences

That’s why I created my unique R.I.S.E. Framework
To help you uncover both the surface level and hidden money blocks, that hold you back from the success you want

Here’s how it works 👇

R – Reflect 🪞
We look at the money stories you’ve absorbed from childhood
What did you learn about wealthly people or “people like us”

I – Imagine 🌟
We explore your beliefs about the future
Are you afraid setting outrageous goals, of failing or succeeding and what that might change

S – Strengthen 💪
What do you truly believe you deserve
Until you feel entitled and worthy of more you’ll keep finding ways to procrastinate or self sabotage

E – Expand 🚀
Learn to manage your Inner Critic and handle the resistance that appears when you start to grow because staying “safe” often means staying stuck

Each person’s relationship with money is different, so I tailor the process to fit your unique challenges and goals

✨ So what’s the money block that’s getting in your way right now?

Why Financial Planning Isn't Enough....

I often meet executives and entrepreneurs with excellent financial plans who still feel anxious about the future. The spreadsheets are solid but their emotions aren't.

Money is rarely just a number. It is an emotional experience shaped by fear, shame, trauma and identity. Ignoring that truth is why many financial plans fall apart under pressure.

In my work, I combine psychology, somatic therapies and financial behaviour to help clients feel grounded and capable, not just organised.

If you’d like to explore how your emotions influence your financial decisions, send me a message with the word REBOOT and I’ll share a short audio series that will change how you think about money for good.

Myth: “I don’t have enough time.”
Truth: “I haven’t made time for what matters.”

When it comes to finding solutions to our time management problems, there's plenty of guru's out there offering well-meaning statements like this one - here's the problem....here's the solution

And if making time was that simple, you'd probably be able to make it happen

But what if your brain keeps getting distracted, or its constantly forgetful?
What if creating time brings you face to face with your biggest fear or triggers a unresolved life experience?
What if you suffer from time discounting as a result of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Being unable to follow this simple "truth" just made you feel a whole lot worse, adding to the shame and frustration you already feel

Making time isn't a simple on/off switch, it's a complex cognitive process that is impacted by trauma, beliefs and unresolved emotions

If you can't make time, it's because it's not safe for you to do it

How much are you worth?

When I first started out in business, I had a situation where a supplier charged me for work on my website, that he just hadn't done.

At the time I knew that confronting him and having a difficult conversation would be incredibly stressful for me. My blood ran cold just thinking about it.

But on the other hand I was angry that he hadn't done the work he promised and a part of me knew I deserved better than that.

The money represented my self worth - what was I going to do? Pay and stay quiet or have a conversation and stand up for myself and my boundaries

It's a dilemma I see in my clients all the time

It's not about the money, its about their self worth.

Whether its dealing with difficult clients or suppliers, late invoices, refunds, or pricing, the question is will they stand firm and believe in themselves or give in to other people's money stories?

That day I chose to have the difficult conversation and I never heard from that supplier again, he simply vanished (eg. lesson learnt)

Its not about the money - you determine your worth and how other people treat you

Have you had a similar experience? How did you resolve it

“What do I need to know before I book a call with you?”

Since I work at the intersection of two of the scariest topics for most people, money and emotions, I want to make this really clear:

✨ What you DON’T need before a Curiosity Call with me:

You don’t need to know your financial numbers

You don’t need to have the “right words” for your emotions

You don’t need to have done any prior money mindset work

You don’t even need to know exactly what the problem is

You don’t have to be “the one causing” the money stress

You don’t need to explain everything, or anything perfectly

And yes, while we work with your mind and body, you stay fully dressed!

💡 What you DO need to bring with you is:

A willingness to learn about yourself

An openness to curiosity

A readiness to let go of past hurts

A willingness to imagine feeling lighter and freer

A tiny bit of courage to try something different

A quiet space where you won't be disturbed for 30 mins

Access to Zoom plus a working camera and microphone

If money stress feels heavy but you’re not sure where to start, you don’t have to have it all figured out.

That’s what I'm here for
