What if the money story you’ve been carrying isn’t yours at all? What if the shame, fear, and silence you feel around money were planted generations ago, and you’ve simply been repeating a pattern that was never meant to serve you?
In my recent conversation with bebo mia on the Hot + Brave podcast, we went deep into this exact question. We talked about money wounds, scarcity, and what it looks like to finally heal the stories that keep us small. We also talked about how doulas, caregivers, and healers can begin to step into financial freedom without apology.
This episode is close to my heart because it reflects not just my professional work through the Healed Money Movement, but also my personal journey. If you’ve ever wondered whether you deserve more, whether you’re allowed to want abundance, or whether healing your money story is even possible… this conversation is for you.
For so many of us, money is not just about numbers. It’s about the stories we’ve been told, the wounds we’ve inherited, and the silence that has shaped how we see our own worth.
I know this because I’ve lived it. As a single mother and survivor, I carried generations of money shame and scarcity with me. I watched how it played out in my own life, undercharging for my services, doubting my worth, and shrinking whenever conversations about money came up. Those patterns weren’t mine alone. They were passed down. They were the echoes of silence in my family, the weight of systemic oppression, and the cultural belief that women and caregivers should simply give without expecting to receive.
But here’s what I’ve learned: healing your money story is not just about financial stability… it’s about liberation.
Scarcity Isn’t Personal
When I sat down with my bebo mia family on the Hot + Brave podcast, we talked about how often birth workers and caregivers feel guilty for charging sustainable fees. We carry the belief that asking for more is selfish. But this is not just a personal issue. Scarcity is not an individual failing, it’s a system designed to keep people small.
When we see scarcity for what it is, manufactured, systemic, and intentional, we can stop blaming ourselves. We can start to imagine something different.
As I shared in the conversation, healing looks like noticing those moments when fear would have taken over in the past, and responding differently now. It’s a shift in how you hold yourself, how you claim your value, and how you show up when life throws challenges your way.
The Silence Around Money
One of the biggest wounds I see is silence. Growing up, many of us were told that money is not something we talk about. That silence leaves us afraid to ask questions. It turns curiosity into fear. And when we inherit fear instead of knowledge, we inherit cycles of struggle.
Breaking that silence is one of the first steps in the Healed Money Movement. When we speak openly about money, about shame, about fear, about possibility, we create space for healing. Scarcity thrives in isolation. Abundance grows in connection.
A Doula’s Perspective
My own healing work was shaped in part by my doula training through bebo mia’s Maternal Support Practitioner (MSP) program. That program didn’t just prepare me to support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum… it gave me the tools to stand in my worth as a care provider.
What I love about bebo mia’s training is that it’s not just about learning comfort measures or birth physiology. It’s about looking at the bigger systems, the inequalities, and the ways birth workers can create sustainable businesses that actually support them. That holistic, justice-centered approach is part of why I’ve been able to weave money healing into my own work today.
So many doulas and educators struggle with charging for their time. Some underprice themselves until burnout pushes them out of the field. Others never get started because they can’t imagine a path that feels financially viable. This is why doula training that addresses both care and sustainability is so important.
Writing a New Story
Healing your money story doesn’t mean pretending money doesn’t matter. It means writing a new story — one where you are worthy of being resourced, where your work is valued, and where abundance is possible.
This isn’t about quick fixes or financial hacks. It’s about shifting from fear to freedom. It’s about remembering that whatever you need to truly heal is already inside you.
As I often say: “Whatever you need to truly heal, it’s all in you.” That mantra is the foundation of the Healed Money Movement.
Community Is Key
We cannot do this alone. Healing requires community. When we come together, share our stories, and challenge the systems that keep us small, we begin to step into something powerful. We begin to lead lives filled with purpose, pleasure, and peace.
That is the vision of the Healed Money Movement, not just financial freedom, but emotional, spiritual, and communal liberation. And it’s the vision that aligned me with bebo mia and their MSP program in the first place. Both are about seeing the whole person, holding space for healing, and imagining liberation together.
Your Invitation
If you’ve been wrestling with your money story, know this: you are not alone. Your wounds are real, but they are not permanent. You can write a new story. And when you do, you don’t just heal yourself — you heal generations after you.
I invite you to join me in this work. Explore the Healed Money Movement, dive into my book It’s All in Me! or the 30-Day C.A.L.M. Life Planner, and take the first step toward healing your money story.
And if you feel called to support families as a doula, look into the Maternal Support Practitioner training with bebo mia. It changed my life, and it could be the beginning of your own journey toward freedom, healing, and abundance.
Because when you heal your relationship with money, you step into freedom. And when you step into freedom, you light the way for others to do the same.
Hey Golden Child!
Happy October! (Can someone tell me where September went? PLEASE! It's already Q4 of the year....)
As we enjoy this day of rest and reflection, let’s take a moment to explore a transformative journey: overcoming obstacles. Life is a series of challenges, and often, it’s these very challenges that lead us to discover our true strength and resilience. Today, I want to share my personal experiences and insights with you, hoping to inspire you as you navigate your own hurdles.
In recent months, I’ve faced several significant obstacles: managing high blood pressure, co-parenting with a narcissist, dealing with a truck that’s been out of commission for a month, and grappling with financial challenges in my business that have made me question whether I should continue. But through all of this, I’ve learned invaluable lessons and discovered powerful strategies to overcome these obstacles. Let’s dive into four key aspects of overcoming obstacles that can help you on your own path.
1. Leaning into Your Support System
When life gets tough, one of the most powerful tools we have is our support system. I’ve found that leaning into my friends, family, and community has been crucial in navigating my challenges. There were days when I felt overwhelmed, particularly while managing co-parenting with a narcissist, which can be emotionally draining. But by reaching out to those who understand me, sharing my struggles, and allowing them to support me, I’ve felt less alone in my journey.
Practical Tip: Make a list of supportive people in your life. Reach out to them when you’re feeling the weight of your challenges. Whether it’s a phone call, coffee date, or simply sharing your thoughts over text, don’t hesitate to lean on those who uplift you.
2. The Healing Power of Energetic Work
As a spiritual person who believes in God as the Creator and orchestrator of everything, I’ve turned to energetic healing work to help me navigate my obstacles. This has included practices such as meditation, visualization, and energy clearing. During difficult moments, especially when faced with high blood pressure, I’ve found solace in grounding myself and tapping into divine energy for healing. It’s remarkable how shifting my energy can shift my perspective.
Practical Tip: Consider incorporating energetic practices into your routine. Whether it’s through meditation, yoga, or sound healing, find what resonates with you and commit to it regularly. These practices can help you regain balance and clarity as you face challenges.
3. Journaling as a Tool for Clarity
Journaling has become my sanctuary, a safe space where I can express my thoughts and emotions without judgment. I often find myself writing about my frustrations with my truck being down and the financial strain it has caused. Through journaling, I’ve been able to articulate my feelings, confront my fears, and brainstorm solutions. The act of putting pen to paper has been cathartic, allowing me to gain clarity and perspective. (If you're a digital person, then do what works for you.)
Practical Tip: Start a daily journaling practice. Set aside time each evening to reflect on your day. Write about your challenges, your feelings, and any solutions you envision. This practice will not only provide clarity but also serve as a record of your growth.
4. Shifting Your Perspective
Finally, one of the most profound lessons I’ve learned is the power of perspective. There were moments when I felt like giving up on my business, but I realized that obstacles are often opportunities in disguise. By shifting my mindset from defeat to curiosity, I’ve begun to see how these challenges can lead to growth, innovation, and resilience. I’ve started asking myself, “What can I learn from this situation?” instead of “Why is this happening to me?”
Practical Tip: Whenever you face an obstacle, consciously choose to shift your perspective. Ask yourself empowering questions that lead to growth and discovery. This simple shift can transform your experience and open doors to new possibilities.
As we conclude this blog post on overcoming obstacles, I encourage you to embrace your journey.
Remember, it’s not just about the challenges we face but how we respond to them that defines our path.

Have you ever felt like your stress was magnified the moment you became pregnant?
If so, you are not alone. As a Doula, I’ve witnessed firsthand how the beautiful journey of pregnancy can also come with overwhelm, fear, and heightened anxiety—especially for Black and Brown mamas navigating systems that weren’t always designed with us in mind.
Stress during pregnancy isn’t just about hormones. It’s about the weight of expectations, racial bias in healthcare, generational trauma, and the need to “stay strong” even when we want to fall apart. I see you—and I want to remind you that your wellness matters just as much as your baby’s.
🌿 1. Herbal Support & Aromatherapy
Gentle herbal teas like chamomile, lavender, and lemon balm can ease tension and support your nervous system. Aromatherapy with essential oils such as frankincense, ylang ylang, or sweet orange can also help reduce anxious thoughts. Try diffusing them during your evening wind-down or placing a few drops on your pillow. (Always consult your care provider before using herbs or essential oils.)

🧘🏾♀️ 2. Meditation & Mindfulness
Even 5–10 minutes of intentional breathing can reset your nervous system. Meditation doesn’t have to be long or complicated. You can simply close your eyes, place your hands on your belly, and repeat an affirmation like:
“I am safe. I trust my body and my baby.”

🛁 3. Create a Calming Ritual
You deserve moments of stillness and care. A simple nightly ritual—like a warm bath, gentle prenatal stretching, or massaging your belly with oils while listening to soft music—can help your body relax and signal that it’s safe to rest.

You Deserve to Feel Held

Hey Golden Child!
Happy Labor Day!
As we celebrate this Labor Day, a time often associated with rest and reflection, let’s use this opportunity to delve into a powerful journey of self-discovery and alignment. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often forget to pause and ask ourselves: "Am I truly in sync with who I am?"
This month, I want to take you on a journey where we explore the depths of self-awareness, the beauty of alignment, and the transformational power of embracing your uniqueness. Each week on YouTube, Titktok and inside our group journaling session in The Mental Wealth Social, we'll tackle a different aspect, helping you uncover the layers of your authentic self and guiding you toward a more harmonious life.
I’m excited to share that I have recently upgraded my Human Design Coaching to Self-Discovery & Alignment Coaching. This evolution allows me to offer deeper insights and support for you as you strive to live and create an aligned life.
Now let’s get into how you can start living a more aligned life and being a more authentic version of you today!
1. The Power of Self-Reflection
To kick things off, let's talk about the impact of self-reflection. Think of a moment when you did something that didn’t feel quite right—maybe it was a decision at work, a choice in your relationship, or even a seemingly minor activity that left you feeling drained instead of fulfilled.
What did that experience teach you about yourself?
Practical Tip: Start a self-reflection journal. Each evening, jot down one thing that made you feel good that day and one thing that didn't. This simple exercise will help you begin to recognize patterns and areas of alignment—and misalignment—in your life.
As we explore self-reflection, think about this: What aspects of your life feel light and uplifting, and which ones feel heavy and burdensome? Reflecting on these can help set the stage for deeper exploration next week, where we’ll talk about aligning with your true essence.
2. Aligning with Your True Essence
Now, let’s bridge self-reflection into alignment. When your life feels like it’s flowing with ease, it's often a sign that you’re in alignment with your true self.
Picture yourself in a situation where you felt fully alive—what were you doing? Who were you with? This week, focus on actions that bring joy and fulfillment.
Practical Tip: Create an "Alignment Checklist." Write down activities, people, and environments that uplift you. Make a conscious effort to experience more of these!
Returning to our theme of alignment, remember there are unique paths to accessing fulfillment. What if finding your rhythm was as simple as being curious about your natural inclinations?
3. Deepening Self-Discovery
Now that you’ve reflected and listed your points of alignment, it’s time to push a bit deeper into self-discovery. We all carry internal narratives and beliefs influenced by the roles we’ve taken on or the expectations we feel from others.
Reflect on this: How often do you act out of obligation versus genuine desire? It’s time to unearth those stories and rewrite the narrative that holds you back.
Practical Tip: Try the “Three Questions” exercise:
- What do I genuinely desire?
- What’s stopping me from pursuing that desire?
- What’s one small step I can take toward it?
As you explore, remember that the curious ones often discover the path to growth. What revelations might you uncover as you challenge the status quo?
4. The Power of Embracing Your Uniqueness
Last but not least, let’s focus on the beauty of embracing your uniqueness. Each of us has a distinct path, shaped by our experiences, passions, and aspirations. When you fully accept and express your individuality, you unlock doors to authentic fulfillment.
Reflect on what makes you unique. What passions have you been hesitant to explore? What parts of yourself have you kept hidden?
Practical Tip: Create a “Uniqueness Manifesto.” List out what makes you, you! Commit to embracing these aspects in your daily life, no matter how unconventional they may seem.
By embracing your uniqueness, you not only honor yourself but also inspire others to do the same.
