Why You Struggle to Keep Money (Hint: It’s Not Your Budget)
Is low self-worth blocking your money flow?
You might be calling it a budgeting issue—but it could be something deeper.
Have you ever considered that your money patterns might reflect your sense of self-worth?
I know that might sound a little “out there.” But stay with me.
In my own life and in my work with clients, I’ve seen a powerful pattern:
Money doesn’t just reflect what we earn. It reflects what we believe we’re worthy of.
Not just earning it. But keeping it. Trusting ourselves with it. Allowing ourselves to feel safe in it.
Your Self-Worth Affects More Than You Think
You may be excellent at attracting or earning money—but does it stay with you? Ever gotten a raise, only to have an unexpected bill arrive the next day? Ever thought, “Why does it always feel like money slips through my fingers?”
These aren't budgeting issues. They’re invitations to look inward—at your capacity to receive, to hold, and to believe you deserve financial stability.
It’s like the energetic version of brushing off a compliment:
“Oh, this old thing?”
“It was nothing.”
“They’re just being nice.”
We do the same with money: We undercharge. We overspend. We avoid looking at the numbers.
We shrink our financial presence—not because we’re bad with money, but because we don’t feel safe being in relationship with it.
Start Here: 4 Gentle Prompts
Know that you don’t have to tackle all of these. Just pick the one that stirs something in you—a feeling, a tickle of discomfort, or a sense of “yeah… this might be mine.”
1. Self-Worth & Earning
Where are you telling yourself you're not worth more—whether it's in pricing, asking, receiving, or simply believing?
2. Trust & Receiving
What do you believe will happen when you receive more?
Do you trust yourself to hold it, use it wisely, and feel good doing so?
3. Safety & Control
What does financial “safety” look like to you?
What are you doing right now to feel safe—and what might you do differently if you trusted yourself more?
4. The “Shoulds”
Where are you following financial “shoulds” that don’t fit you anymore?
What would feel more aligned if you let go of what you think you're supposed to do?
What Comes Up is a Message
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about paying attention.
If you notice a place where you’re undermining your worth, compromising boundaries, avoiding action, or operating from fear—don’t shame yourself.
Just notice. That’s where the shift begins.
