What if the reason you can’t hold onto money wasn’t irresponsibility, but a part of you trying to keep you safe?
In this week’s session, I sit down with Felicia, who has carried a scarcity mindset for most of her life.
It showed up in the money she saved, only to spend it all at once.
It showed up in the way she never quite felt secure, even when the bills were paid.
And it showed up in the quiet belief that having money wasn’t safe.
On the outside, Felicia has always been the dependable one, the one who works hard, pays everything on time, and makes sure the essentials are covered.
But underneath was a constant loop: If I hold onto money, it could be taken. If I stay in scarcity, at least I’m safe.
In our session, Felicia meets the part of herself that created this story.
The part that thought it was protecting her from loss, betrayal, and judgment.
This conversation is a reminder that the patterns we struggle with are rarely here to punish us.
They started as protectors, and when we meet them with compassion, we finally create the space to let them go.
