Money Unlearning

I’ll go first: I thought working hard = financial security.

No one told me about burnout. Or lifestyle creep. Or how emotional money really is.

The stories we grow up with shape how we save, spend, and stress about money… until we stop to question them. And honestly? A lot of us are carrying outdated beliefs that don’t fit the life we actually want.

Let’s talk about it.

What money belief did you grow up with that turned out to be… not so helpful?

Unlearning in 2026 🌿

The last few years forced me to grow in ways I never expected. Surviving. Grieving. Unlearning. Rebuilding from scratch. I didn’t grow up with this mindset. No one taught me how to manage money, protect my energy, or design a life with intention. I had to learn it on my own… and unlearn a l

Unhealthy things I am unlearning as a mom 🌸
