Rewire Your Money

30/10/2025

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

💬 When you hear the word "pension", what comes to mind?

❌ “I haven’t got one"
❌ “I’m too old to start now”
❌ “I’m not earning enough”

I’ve said all of these comments to myself

As a mum at home with young children, I didn’t know I could keep my pension going

As a mum of teenagers working from home, I believed I’d left it too late

When I launched my business, I thought pensions were only for people earning “big money”

But then I took financial advice and at 55 years old, I opened my pension

And here’s the surprising part, even though I’d added another expense, my income grew to meet it
My pension contribution became just another part of running my business

Looking back I wish I had done things differently
I wish I had understood about money mindset and scarcity thinking
But I didn't, and like many women I'm now making up for lost time

So today I'm forgiving myself for my past pension mistakes
And encouraging you to find out more

📅 Today is Pension Awareness Day
Get financial advice because your future self will thank you

What did your Q3 results reveal about your money habits?

Most business owners jump straight into planning Q4, without pausing to notice the money habits and patterns that have shaped the last 3 months

But self-awareness is the hidden lever in financial success

👉 Did you find yourself undercharging when sales slowed?
👉 Did you avoid checking your numbers when expenses crept up?
👉 Or maybe you noticed a scarcity voice saying, “What if there aren’t enough clients?” even when income was steady

These aren’t just sales or marketing issues
They’re money mindset programming, messages about how you relate to money, risk, and self-worth

Taking the time to reflect can be challenging
It's hard not to judge yourself but the goal is awareness
Because once you can see the habit, the pattern and the story behind it, you can rewrite it

I know I found some "shenanigans" I was doing trying to control other people's feelings

What did you find? Or what do you think you might find if you looked?

Are you a millionaire in the making?

With the economy struggling and lots of uncertainty, our emotions and our ability to manage them, play a vital part in how we think and what we do with money

Feelings of indifference, frustration, apathy and hopelessness can run wild

Causing us to self sabotage our efforts ( "I might as well just blow it")
Or preventing us from starting new habits ("what's the point, the taxman's going to take it")

Behind these feelings are inherited intergenerational money stories

From "making money is selfish", to punishing parents for past experiences, to cultural programming about sharing

The result being that we continue to repeat the subconscious meaning behind the feelings rather than consciously choose the path towards our desires

So next time you hear someone say "what's the point in saving" or "everything's going down the toilet, so I might as well enjoy it"

Instead of agreeing with them, ask them "what stories about money are you telling yourself"

Then listen...

That awareness could make all the difference to them and I guarantee you'll learn something about your money stories too

When clients come to me with money worries, their concerns usually sound very practical:

“I can’t seem to raise my prices”

“I panic when I look at my bank account”

“I feel guilty spending on myself”

But underneath, these struggles are rarely about numbers or budgets

They’re about emotions, attachments and relationships

That’s why I use E.F.T (Emotional Freedom Techniques, often called tapping) in my work with money issues

E.F.T is powerful because it works directly with the body’s stress response. By tapping on acupressure points while naming the thoughts and feelings that come up, the nervous system calms down. And when that happens, clients can see money challenges with clarity instead of fear.

Sounds like fluff? It's not! The more science learns about the mind/body connection and the impact of trauma, the more we know that money issues go deeper than mindset

E.F.T helps to bring these hidden beliefs, trauma's and misunderstandings to the surface (like “I’m not worth it” or “I’ll never have enough”) so they can be acknowledged and released

It creates an embodied sense of safety, making new behaviours (charging fairly, spending joyfully, or saving consistently) not just possible but doable

Money issues aren’t really about money. They’re about what we believe we deserve, what we fear losing, and how safe we feel. E.F.T helps untangle those layers so my clients can step into a healthier, more empowered relationship with money

It felt hard, unfair and like a chore....

Back in my 20's I hated money
I was 000's pounds in debt
Working 2 jobs to pay it off
Money and I were not on good terms

It was a relationship I'd picked up from my parents
Together with a lack of skills of how to handle money
Watching them struggle and the conflict it created, I wanted nothing to do with money

In my 30's my husband tried to involve me in our finances
I'd nod my head, pretend to listen and disengage
In my business I'd procrastinate and hated asking for money
Money and I still didn't trust each other

My relationship didn't change overnight
It started with curiosity about why he saw money as a good thing

I started noticing how money impacted how I felt, good and bad
I paid attention to how it helped me and others around me
I began appreciating it and valuing it
Which created a need to know how to take better care of my money
And that started a passion for reading books and studying money

The more I focused on the good that money did
The more excited I became
I began to see money an amplifier for good
Creating more choices and opportunities, not just for me
But for other business owners and society at large

What changes doesn't depend on the amount of money you have
But how you feel about the money you currently

Its a process I now teach
And it all started with getting curious

If you're disconnected, disappointed or mistrustful of the money you have, I get it!

And if you're ready to change that, book a free Curiosity Call and let me help

p.s. If nothing else I highly recommend you read this book
