Lately, I’ve been doing some deep work around money blocks. And what’s struck me the most is this: it’s not just our personal money story that shapes how we feel about earning, spending, and receiving — it’s also the layers of societal conditioning we’ve absorbed without even realising.

But before we work on the societal conditioning, often from the patriarchy, lets first deal with the messages we received when we were younger about money. Messages like “money doesn’t grow on trees”, “you have to work hard to deserve it”, or “people won’t pay for that”run deep. Especially for those of us who are heart-led, spiritual entrepreneurs, it’s easy to subconsciously cap our worth or play small — even when our work creates real impact.

I uncovered a belief that went something like this: “It’s not safe to be seen as having money.”
That money had to be played down, hidden, even covered up — because if I was seen with it, something bad might happen.

When I worked through this with my coach, I realised just how much it didn’t make sense. I mean — what about all the people with beautiful homes and fancy cars who aren’t afraid to be seen? They’re not all hiding their wealth in fear.

I actually laughed at how ridiculous that belief sounded out loud. But for years, a part of me truly believed it — and it quietly held me back from earning more.

Looking back, I can see exactly where it came from. It wasn’t random. It came from love — from my Nan trying to keep us safe in the only way she knew how.

So this week, I’m sharing a 5-step guide to help you uncover and shift your money blocks — gently and powerfully.

🌿 5 Steps to Uncover Your Money Blocks

1. Identify the Story You’re Carrying
Take a moment to journal on what you learned about money growing up.
Ask yourself:

• What did I hear my caregivers say about money?

• What is my earliest memory about money?

• Was money seen as safe, stressful, or secretive?

• Do I believe I have to suffer or prove myself to earn?

Bringing awareness to your early money blueprint is the first step toward creating real change.

Start by noticing how you interact with money in your everyday life. For example, I used to begrudge spending money on essentials like food or petrol — I’d only ever put £20 in the tank, never a full one.

But things started to shift when I brought gratitude into the equation. I began to feel thankful when buying food, and grateful that I can afford petrol so I can get to all the places I need to go, and now? I fill up the tank with ease — because I know I’m supported.

2. Notice How You Feel About Money
When you receive money, do you feel joy or guilt? When you invest, do you feel empowered or panicked?
Your body often reveals what the mind is hiding.
Tune into how your nervous system responds when you:

• Talk about prices

• Receive payments

• Think about raising your rates

This helps you uncover emotional patterns that are blocking your abundance.

3. Separate Your Truth from External Conditioning
Much of our money mindset has been shaped by society — not truth.
Especially for women and spiritual business owners, there's often pressure to:

• Keep your prices low in an attempt to 'be kind'

• Be of service without receiving

• Believe wealth isn’t ‘spiritual’

Begin to ask: “Is this belief mine, or was it handed to me?” and "is this true"
The more you question it, the more space you create for a new story.

4. Align with Your Human Design
Your Human Design can give you permission to approach money in a way that feels right for you.
For example:

• Generators and manifesting generators might thrive when doing work that truly lights them up — and repels when chasing money out of duty or obligation.

• Projectors may need to rest and receive rather than hustle.

• Manifestors - don't shrink to fit in, be your big self and follow those urges.

• Reflectors - be sure you're in the right environment and understand your lunar cycle.

• Your authority can help you decide where to invest or price intuitively.

Money alignment isn’t about doing what others are doing — it’s about honouring your unique energetic blueprint.

5. Create an Empowering New Belief
Once you’ve spotted the old story, you can rewrite it.
Try this:

• Write out the old belief (e.g. “No one will pay me that much” or "it's not safe to be seen as having lots of money")

• Flip it into something more empowering (e.g. “There are people who deeply value and are ready to invest in my work” or "it's safe to have money and be seen as having money")

• Repeat it daily — especially when fear comes up.

Affirmations only work when they’re rooted in truth — and your truth is that you are worthy. The most important thing with affirmations is that they genuinely feel good to you. If you're saying "I'm rich" but your bank account says otherwise, part of you won’t believe it — and that inner resistance matters.

To bring all parts of you on board, look for real-life evidence to support the new belief. That’s what I did with my old story that “it’s not safe to be seen as having money.” I started noticing all the people who confidently owned their wealth — no hiding, no shame. And just like that, I could fully get behind my new affirmation.

💫 Final Thoughts
Working on your money blocks isn’t just about income — it’s about reclaiming your power, trusting your value, and allowing abundance in all its forms.
When we clear the noise, we create space to receive.

If this resonated and you’d love to go deeper, I’ve got something coming soon that’s going to support you with this — keep an eye on your inbox.

You are safe to expand.
You are worthy of receiving.
You don’t need to shrink to be loved.

With love,
