I can still remember how I’d cry for hours, my little body tense, wondering why I couldn’t just chill out like everyone else. Turns out, as a baby, I didn’t have a clue how to regulate my own nervous system. I relied on my mom to do it for me - her calmness was my calmness. But what happens when your mom’s stressed out, overwhelmed, or just not able to be fully present? Well, I didn’t get the chance to learn how to self-soothe. And, guess what? That tension? It sticks. It doesn’t just magically go away when you hit adulthood.
As I grew older, I carried this nervous system tension with me. Unfortunately if you don’t deal with it, you carry it with you forever. The truth might hit you hard: you can keep running your business, keep hustling, keep pretending that everything is fine, but if you don’t address these deep-rooted childhood patterns, you’ll always have a lurking fear and anxiety running the show - especially when it comes to money.
This is why your childhood patterns matter more than you think.
Money fear. It’s real. It’s deep. And it’s hard to get rid of.
You may find yourself paralyzed when it’s time to set your prices. You might have a hard time negotiating because deep down, you fear that asking for what you deserve will push people away. Maybe you even sabotage your own success because, in the back of your mind, you’re still that child, unsure of your worth.
What do you lose by keeping on like this?
You lose opportunities. You lose your potential. You keep avoiding the one thing that could truly set you free - breaking the cycle that keeps you in fear and anxiety. It’s the reason you hold back. It’s the reason you hesitate. And if you don’t change it, you’ll continue to stay stuck, wondering why it’s so hard to finally get the financial freedom you crave.
This fear doesn’t just show up in your business; it leaks into every aspect of your life. It’s the anxiety before checking your bank account. The tightness in your chest when you think about your future. The constant sense of not having enough. Even when things are going well, there’s that nagging voice telling you that it might not last.
