Financial anxiety over money manifests differently in every woman but can look like excessive worry, irritability, and difficulty concentrating, feeling depressed, or anxious about finances all the way to overspending or underspending.
In the system we live in, money equals food and shelter but it also equals power, status, freedom.
So it's unsurprising we get so stressed about it. It touches everything in our lives.
You worry and question yourself if you spend money on yourself but you worry and question yourself if you don't.
You worry and question yourself if you don't take the risk and invest to create wealth but you worry and question yourself if you do.
Trauma around money and finances doesn't necessarily have to be something that you see as a major event in your life.
It can be an accumulation of life experiences, like losing a job, going through a foreclosure, a divorce, experiencing lack as a child to as a child watching your parents constantly fight about money, and thinking it was all your fault.
