Money Shame.
The kind that shows up when:
🫣 your card declines
🫣 you avoid opening your bank app
🫣 you made great money this month but still feel broke
🫣 you feel embarrassed asking questions about finances
Here’s mine.
At 22, I was a single mom drowning in $32,000 of credit card debt, and I filed for bankruptcy.
The shame from that moment sat in my chest for years.
So I did what many women do…
I overcorrected.
I created a strict spending plan and followed it like a “good girl” for two decades.
Until one day I snapped.
I was tired of working hard and never enjoying my money.
So I rebelled.
That rebellion created $100,000 of debt.
Eventually, I changed my relationship with money, built a system that worked, and paid it all off.
But if I’m being honest…that shame still creeps up sometimes.
Most women are still carrying money shame silently.
So let’s change that.
Money Shame Thread
Share one thing you’ve felt ashamed about when it comes to money.
No judgment. Just honesty.
I’ll start another one.
For years I believed:
“Money burns a hole in my pocket.” Your turn 👇
And this right here is exactly why I created The Smell of Money.
A place where women can talk about money honestly without shame and learn a simple system for managing their finances.
💨 On April 6th I’m hosting a live “Money Breath” session inside the community.
It’s a simple practice that helps calm your nervous system around money so you can start making clear decisions instead of reactive ones.
If you’re ready for a healthier relationship with your money, you’re welcome here.
