If you've ever felt behind in your money journey or found yourself carrying guilt or shame about where you are financially, this conversation is for you.

We kicked off our Powerful Creator Mastermind with Chapter 1 of The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel, and whew... this one hit deep. The chapter is called “No One’s Crazy,” and it brought so much relief and perspective to the room.

Most of us were never taught how money really works. And a lot of what we believe about money isn't wrong, it’s just based on what we’ve lived. From the families we were raised in, to the economy we came up in, our experiences shape our financial reality.

And the truth is...

You’re not behind.

You’re not broken.

You’re not crazy.

You’re just learning this for the first time with clarity, intention, and power.

Let’s talk about it.

✨ 3 Powerful Takeaways from This Week’s Conversation

1️⃣ You’re not doing it wrong, you’re just the first

This chapter reminded us that so many of us are the first in our families to even talk about money consciously.

We’re not just learning how to budget or invest, we’re learning how to shift entire belief systems. That’s sacred work. And of course, it feels overwhelming sometimes.

You're building something brand new.

2️⃣ Your money decisions come from your lived experience

Whether you’ve avoided saving, overspent in survival, or doubted your ability to invest, it makes sense. Our decisions are emotional, not just logical. And this chapter reminded us that everyone’s story is valid. Once you stop judging your past, you can finally start changing your future.

3️⃣ Financial systems are still brand new

Most of us feel like we’re “behind” on investing or saving but y’all… 401(k)s weren’t even created until 1978.

Roth IRAs? 1998.

These systems are younger than some of us. The truth is, no one has this all figured out. Even the “experts” are learning as they go. That was such a freeing reminder.

🧘🏽‍♀️ 3 Action Steps to Support Your Money Healing

✨ Step 1: Release the guilt toward your past (and your parents)

Many of us have carried silent resentment toward our parents for not teaching us about money. But this chapter reminded us, they truly didn’t have what we have now. Release the blame. Let yourself heal.

✨ Step 2: Anchor your financial goals in emotional clarity

Ask yourself: What does wealth feel like to me?

Is it peace? Freedom? Security?

Focus on that feeling when making money moves, not just the numbers on a spreadsheet.

✨ Step 3: Trust that you're right on time

You’re learning, applying, and evolving. Don’t let shame or comparison knock you off your path. You have time. You have access. You are guided.

💖 A Personal Note from Me to You

This chapter gave me so much peace.

It reminded me that I’m not behind, I’m actually ahead, just by being aware.

I’ve been learning this stuff for years… but now, I’m finally applying it.

And that’s the shift.

We’re doing the sacred work of becoming financially free while still healing the systems we were born into.

That’s not small. That’s legacy work. That’s lineage work.

So, if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, take a breath.

You’re exactly where you need to be.

You’re learning. You’re applying. And you’re doing great.

Let’s keep building. Together.

With so much love and power,

Amber Breanna ❤️
