Birth of a Mission

I’ve known for awhile that the data I’ve collected about body-based money relationship since 2011 points in one direction: that the financial information we hold in the DNA of our bodies — especially wounding from financial trauma — is primarily a result of the warped and imbalanced toxic financial patriarchy. 

Unfortunately, centuries of the financial services industry being primarily structured and shaped for and by straight white males still does not build into its financial policy-making a conscious vehicle to recognize, identify or provide EQ inner-financial healing for the very people it has and continues to financially brutalize.

Meanwhile, given how non-traditional my work is, I haven’t voiced too directly or loudly about this. I’ve played nice on the fringes while I’ve R&D-developed how to pair the IQ mind of money with the body’s EQ emotional intelligence of money with the spirit of the intuitive of money. Yes, edgy stuff in traditional personal finance AND spiritual-conscious circles. I’ve been quietly breaking rules here while serving the clients who dare to walk this landscape with me. 

And as I’ve weathered my own storms through a messy landscape (linked), I repeatedly found that the work proved itself thousands of times over — the bones are solid. The clients who walked with me found their own self-defined successes both with money and with life. And still, during this process, I stayed in my lane and  benignly named my work in the spirit of “healing this inner realm of money relationship to improve the outer results of personal finance.” Fair enough. 

But now. Now I find I can no longer be quiet. In the wake of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor’s murders, people of color are still being killed while there are those trying to erase our racial history and create white-washed educational policies along with book bannings. With the repeal of Roe, women are dying from lack of reproductive healthcare and #Metoo is being questioned even as we try to continue to champion our rights. The LGBTQIA-plus community is under ever-more siege, especially drag queens and trans people. And gun violence is out of hand.

It seems it is time for all hands on deck at the grassroots level more than ever before. And if you think this is a political thing, it is so much more than that. The brewing environmental, geo-political, economic, educational, housing and food crisis that is brewing on our planet absolutely and utterly requires all us to be working together in compassionate, peaceful, communicative and intelligent unified awareness so that we may evolve through this time, together. We need all of us to figure this out.

And what does any of this have to do with money? Everything! Money is at the ripe epicenter of these issues where we experience rich exchanges of our beliefs, living and finances. We vote with our dollars and we experience the vibration of our financial beliefs in our very cores as we experience the powerful changes happening on our planet.

For this reason, I can no longer stand on the sidelines and be quiet here about the depths of what I know about how our body-based money, drenched with the DNA of our lives, experientially informs our finances — especially how we carry the body-based wounding of the toxic financial patriarchy in our very finances. In the very daily ways we interact with our money. 

You see, how we vibrate with money in our own skin determines our financial lives — whether we feel whole or broken. Uplifted or downtrodden. Seen or invisible. Wounded or healed. Heard or silenced. Empowered or powerless. All of these are EQ variables that hinder or support our inner financial abilities that trickle into the balances of our very bank accounts! And yes. I’m so passionate about this I want to reach through this page and shake you with the revelation about how much this can help you if you truly know it!

That’s why it’s important for me to tell you about the countless people who arrive with their financial trauma on my doorstep — masked as money blocks — that it’s always in the theme of: 

• Women recovering from misogyny in the workplace and sexual assault to improve their financial lives.
  –
• Peoples of diverse skin tones mitigating the racism they experience in their work and money so they can improve their finances.
  –
  
• Members of the LGBTQ community finally connecting the dots between embracing their identities, in-spite of homophobia, and the financial issues this causes to locate themselves in the middle of their numbers for healthier money relationship.
  –
  
• Creatives, healers, intuitives and highly sensitive people coming to terms with age-old witch wounding and what it means to be financially functional in a capitalistic society.
  –
  
• Even those in AA recovery finding connection between Somatic Money practices and their 12 Steps to make a financial difference in their lives! 
  –

These are all people experiencing the impact that the imbalances of the toxic financial patriarchy has on our financial system as it affects the individual bottom lines of peoples’ personal bank accounts. Because trauma affects the body, even lingering and/or modern trauma from the toxic patriarchy. And trauma in the body affects the inner-interconnectedness of personal finance and financial functionality.

And so it goes. This is the work. Identifying and embracing the painful, dysfunctional, toxic and unhealed aspects of our inner lives as we recover individually and as a collective from the centuries of imbalanced patriarchal/matriarchal toxicity. So that we may become more whole, more healed and have inner and outer lives that work in healthier and better ways — even and especially with our money.

That is why, as I turn a corner with my work, I am more distinctly naming The Magic of Somatic Money as an Embodied Money Recovery System from the Toxic Financial Patriarchy (linked).

This, as I shift from a practice that was largely one-to-one coaching, done privately, and behind the scenes, to more fully share this work openly at a greater global scale with more voice, presence and clarity than I ever have before. 

I hope you join with me as I continue to morph this website and platform into the space of Somatic Money practices and information, videos, podcasts, digital programs and group events that speaks to healing our inner financial trauma.
