We're not supposed to talk about this

The energy of money. Ohhh this is a big topic. 2025 was a big year and one of the ways it was huge is because I did something I’ve been wanting to do, meaning to do, talking about doing, and thinking about for YEARS. ​I took an investing class.​ I know, I know...we’re not supposed to talk about this, right? Money is taboo? NO talky talky?Uh, I don't think so. We must starting talking more about it more! I mean, you don’t have to start sharing your checking account balance at dinner parties or anything but for goodness sakes, too many people just don't talk about money at all. Not even with themselves. I have been one of those people. I had a lot of feelings and a lot of stories (and a lot of drama tbh) about money but instead of opening up about it, I said nothing, did not get the right help and that was mucho no bueno.I’ll share more on this in 2026, but my money story was a rocky one. I thought it was in the love-hate relationship category but realized, that wasn't true at all! What t I’m discovering more and more is that money and abundance is a currency issue. It’s energy. It’s not personal in itself. It flows, it doesn’t flow. I earn it, I spend it. It comes, it goes. But the way I related to money, what I have believed about money, my stories and programming about money…now that made the money/energy flow state really confused and wonky at times. In fact, I would say that one of my top issues when it came to understanding my finances was due to the element of vagueness. Just not knowing. Anything. Where I spent it, how much I spent on what, what my actual numbers were. I did sort that a while ago and wow and that clarity alone removed about one hundred thousands sticks and branches out of the river of abundance in my life. Again, more on this whole subject in 2026. The energy of money is fascinating!What I really want to share, because it was so revelatory for me, is the investing course I took earlier this year. It changed my life (I changed my life!) and was exactly what I needed. I’m now investing and watching funds grow and actually know what those numbers mean when I look at the statements. I can have a semi-intelligent conversation with friends about investing. I know what I need to save to get to X and how many years that will take. I can make adjustments and pivots and when I’m unsure or unclear (a lot) I now have the confidence to ask. If you’ve read this far on this topic of money, maybe this is your clue that you’re ready to take your financial education to the next level. I went through a program called ​IGNITE​ and can’t say enough positive comments about the online program and also the gals (this program was women focused) who I met while in the course. You can reach out to ​Steph/ her team​ and book an exploratory call to find out more. Or if you want to talk to me about it, reach out to me. I share this because of all the ways I have endeavored to improve my life, few have given me a sense of self empowerment more than getting honest, humble, deliberate and actionable about my finances.One more thing. Say you’re not ready to invest and your situation is a little more dire and shaky. I so get that. First, I am not a money expert. I am still learning big time over here. But I’ve been on my own journey with money and where I’m at now vs a couple of years ago is soooo black and white. I’d be happy to share with you in more depth about what my resources are that got me out of the dark. It didn't just start with the investing course. If interested, reach out! (Nothing to sell, just wanting to pass on resources if it would help.)
