What We Learned About Money From Our Mothers


Listen Later

In honor of Women’s History Month, today I’m reflecting on the subtle, unspoken money lessons I absorbed from my mom — and how those early patterns shaped my relationship with money in ways I didn’t fully understand until adulthood.

In this episode, I talk about how inherited money beliefs often live in our nervous systems, how survival strategies get passed down generationally, and why awareness isn’t the same thing as blame.

I also walk you through a few reflection exercises to help you:

  • Identify a money belief you may have inherited

  • Notice how it shows up in your day-to-day decisions

  • Separate yourself from the belief so you can consciously choose something new

    And I share what rewriting my story has looked like — moving from silence to conversation, from scarcity to sufficiency, and from overwork to enoughness.

    This episode is about honoring the women who shaped us — seeing their strength and humanity clearly — while giving ourselves permission to build on their foundation instead of unconsciously repeating their patterns.
