This is part two of a new series called Money Vibes
You can be smart, strategic, talented, consistent, and deeply committed to your work…
and still feel like money is trickling in instead of flowing.
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.
Many women entrepreneurs hit a point where the effort is high, the value is solid, and the passion is undeniable — but the income doesn’t match.
This is where money blocks quietly creep in.
Not because you aren’t capable.
Not because you aren’t working hard enough.
But because your unconscious beliefs about money are running the show behind the scenes.
Today, we’re going to spotlight the hidden money blocks women often don’t recognize — and how to begin dissolving them so the flow of abundance feels natural, not forced.
What Exactly Is a “Money Block”?
A money block is an internal belief, pattern, or emotional reaction that limits your ability to earn, receive, manage, or grow money.
It’s not the belief you say out loud.
It’s the belief you hold deep down.
Examples:
• You say you want $10k months… but secretly feel guilty charging people.
• You say you want more clients… but freeze when it’s time to promote your offers.
• You say you want overflow… but feel uncomfortable having savings in your account.
• You say you want financial ease… but pick “hard paths” because struggle feels familiar.
Money blocks don’t make you weak or irresponsible.
They simply reveal the subconscious rules you’ve been living by — often since childhood.
1. “I have to work hard to deserve money.”
This is one of the most common money blocks among high-achieving women.
If you grew up being praised for productivity, sacrifice, or being the “responsible one,” then effortless money feels… suspicious.
This belief shows up as:
• Overgiving
• Overdelivering
• Overworking
• Undercharging
• Feeling guilty resting
• Feeling you must “earn” money through struggle
Reframe:
Money responds to value — not exhaustion.
2. “What will people think if I make more than they do?”
Many women dim their ambition out of fear they’ll…
• outgrow a partner
• upset a friend
• intimidate colleagues
• seem arrogant or ungrateful
Some even hold themselves back because they worry success will bring judgment, criticism, or distance in their relationships.
Reframe:
Your success doesn’t diminish anyone else — it inspires them.
3. “People like me don’t make that kind of money.”
This is an identity block.
It quietly whispers:
• “Women in my family don’t make six figures.”
• “I didn’t go to the ‘right’ school.”
• “I’m not tech-savvy enough.”
• “I started too late.”
• “I don’t look the part.”
The moment you decide who you “are” financially… your brain locks in that identity and seeks evidence to reinforce it.
Reframe:
Your financial identity is chosen — not inherited.
4. “If I charge more, people won’t like me.”
This is the approval block.
For women conditioned to keep the peace or avoid conflict, raising prices can feel like betrayal — even if your new rate is fair, appropriate, and overdue.
This block shows up as:
• Discounting too often
• Feeling apologetic about rates
• Avoiding sales conversations
• Being afraid of “the ask”
Reframe:
People respect clear, confident pricing — and the right clients rise to meet your value.
5. “Keeping money feels uncomfortable.”
This is a receiving block, one of the most surprising and powerful forms of resistance.
Some women are great at making money… but uncomfortable holding it.
Why?
Because for some, having money triggers:
• Fear (What if it disappears?)
• Responsibility (What do I do with it?)
• Visibility (Will people judge me?)
• Guilt (Who am I to have extra?)
So it gets spent quickly. Or “lost.” Or given away.
Reframe:
Holding money is an act of self-respect and stability, not selfishness.
6. “My needs are less important than others’ needs.”
This is the self-worth block.
It often forms in women who have spent years caretaking, nurturing, or putting themselves last.
It creates patterns like:
• Underpaying yourself
• Not investing in your business
• Feeling “selfish” prioritizing your goals
• Saying yes when you mean no
• Charging less so people don’t feel burdened
Reframe:
When you honor your needs, you model what empowered women look like.
Awareness is the first step.
But action is the transformation.
Here are three powerful ways to begin shifting your money energy today:
1. Journal the Truth (Not the Pretty Story)
Ask yourself:
• What do I believe will happen if I earn more money?
• Whose approval am I afraid of losing?
• What is the downside of financial success?
• What would I gain by letting abundance in?
Your subconscious will tell you everything if you give it a safe place to speak.
2. Make One Money Decision From Your Higher Self
Choose something that reflects the version of you who already feels abundant, grounded, confident, and worthy.
This might look like:
• Raising your rate by $100
• Saying no to an unpaid collaboration
• Starting a sinking fund
• Paying yourself first
• Decluttering old financial paperwork
• Investing in a tool or mentor that supports your goals
These micro-decisions create macro-shifts.
3. Rewrite Your Money Narrative
Take one money block you identified and write a new belief:
“I need to work hard to deserve money.” →
“My value—not my exhaustion—creates prosperity.”
“People won’t like me if I charge more.” →
“The right clients respect my worth.”
“I’m not the kind of woman who earns big money.” →
“I am becoming a woman who receives abundantly and confidently.”
Money responds to clarity, courage, and intention.
Shift the story and you shift the flow.
You are not broken.
You do not need fixing.
You’re not “bad with money.”
You simply have old beliefs that no longer fit the woman you are becoming.
And as you peel those layers away, you’ll discover that:
✨ You were always capable.
✨ You were always worthy.
✨ You were always meant for overflow.
This is the heart of the Money Vibes journey — reclaiming your power, rewriting your story, and letting abundance meet you where you stand.
