What I Did When “I Need to Make Money” Started to Feel Like a Threat

If you’re doing everything right and still panicking about money, read this.

So here’s the thing I’ve been thinking about lately:

I needed to make more money. Not in a “wouldn’t it be nice” kind of way. But in a real, practical, rent’s-coming-due, this-needs-to-happen kind of way.

And I was doing all the things. The strategy. The planning. The posting. The mindset work. I had the to-do list. I had the action plan. I even had the spreadsheets.

But underneath it?

That old fear started creeping in.

The part of me that tenses when money gets tight. The part that starts calculating how much I can save by cutting things out and pulling in smaller. The part that wants to push harder, do more, perform. The part that whispers, “You’re not doing enough. You’re not enough.”

And I know better. I teach better. So I paused. And I asked myself:

“What if this isn’t a doing problem… it’s a receiving problem?”

Because here’s the truth: I didn’t need another strategy. I needed to expand my ability to receive wealth, support, possibility, ease.

So I did what I do. I looked at it differently.

Here’s what I saw.

I realized that somewhere deep inside, I still believed that receiving meant being less than.

That to receive meant I was weak, needy, unworthy. That if I really had my life together, I wouldn’t need to receive. I’d be the one giving. Holding. Handling.

And that belief? It had me shrinking every time more tried to find me. More love. More ease. More income. More rest. I could give endlessly. But when it was my turn to receive? My body flinched.

But here’s what’s changed:

Now, I see receiving as the process of becoming. It’s not about being helpless. It’s about letting life shape me, soften me, strengthen me. Not through force, but through openness.

Receiving means saying yes to everything life is trying to give me. Not because I’ve earned it. Not because I’ve performed well enough. But because it’s here. And it’s for me.

To help me grow. To help me become who I’m here to become.

And yes, paying the rent along the way? That’s just gravy.

And that’s what I want to share with you.

That shift, the one that changed how I relate to money, visibility, praise, rest, and love, is what became:

The Art of Receiving A 6-week journey to help you expand your nervous system’s capacity to hold more without bracing, deflecting, or over-functioning your way through it.

This isn’t about hustle or positive thinking. It’s about the deep work of feeling safe to receive.
