Are you struggling with money? Good news: you can do a LOT for your financial situation just by working on your mindset.
Moving from scarcity and lack into abundance is one of the best things you can do to create more money and just to feel happier in general! So in today’s free workshop I’m giving you my best tips to get started with feeling more abundant!
Thank you so much for watching!
There is so much more to know about manifestation than just the Law of Attraction.
The Law of Attraction is actually just one of many universal laws. And the more you know about all of the laws, the easier it’s going to be to manifest what you want.
Today I’m shining a light on one of my favorites: the Law of Abundance.
Now be honest: what’s the first thing you thought of after reading that sentence?
Most of us have a lot of resistance to this idea.
After all, why on earth would anyone choose to struggle with money?
So here’s the kicker (and the very reason why it’s so important to discover the Law of Abundance):
We’re not struggling with money because we have to. We struggle with money because we’ve been conditioned to experience fear, lack and scarcity around money by believing that there’s not enough available.
However, there is another way of viewing the world–a way that will drastically improve your own financial situation.
When you learn to trade your scarcity thinking for abundance, that’s when you can flip your old patterns of money on their head for once and for all.
Now the only question is: how exactly do I do that?
That’s why today I’m sharing these 7 secrets of the Law of Abundance here with you today:
Yes, it’s true! Your attachment to earning might just be one of your biggest blocks to abundance and money.
But wait: does that mean I’m telling you to sit back and wait for money to magically show up for you? No, of course not.
But I suggesting that you don’t need to worry nearly as much about “earning” as you think you do.
We’ve been taught to tie our working output to our income. But if that were actually true, that would mean that the billionaires of the world would be working longer and harder than anyone else! Fortunately, that’s not the case.
But think about this: if a financial emergency comes up and we suddenly need some extra cash, what’s the first thing that most people do? They either try to work overtime hours or go out to get a part-time job to make up the difference.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with either of those things! But that also goes to show just how limited we are in our thinking about money.
Now think about this: have you ever had money just how up for you? Maybe you received a gift or an unexpected store credit. Or maybe you found yourself some new clients straight out of thin air.
In fact, you probably receive money in all kinds of ways all the time without “earning” it. Keep thinking about those things and reminding yourself that “earning” (the old-fashioned way) is not the only way to receiving money. And the more you can open your mind to the possibilities in the world around us, the more opportunities will open up for you.
Similar to the concept of earning is the concept of deserving. We all tend to have some pretty darn interesting ideas about who “deserves” money and who doesn’t.
Take Kim Kardashian, for example. It just takes a quick perusal of Twitter to see that there are many people out there who don’t think she “deserves” her money.
We tend to have very black and white ideas about who deserves money and who doesn’t. To generalize, starting your own business (like Elon Musk) is great! But creating your own fame and becoming wealthy that way (Kardashian) somehow isn’t.
To challenge the myth of deservingness, let’s remind ourselves that the Law of Abundance is a Universal law!
Now think of a world where our current capitalist system does not yet exist. And think of a child/animal being born.
No one would dare tell that baby they need to earn their keep in this world. No one would dare to say that there are not enough resources here for them and everyone else, and therefore they need to be on guard 24/7 to make sure they get enough. And no one would dare say that because of who you are, you don’t deserve to be here.
Those just aren’t possibilities in a world of true abundance! But in this world, where we’ve been hypnotized into believing in scarcity and fear and into competing with each other, we have a whole lotta fear around our own deserving.
So remember this, the moment you were born was the moment you became deserving. You don’t have to keep proving your worth to anyone for any reason, especially not for money.
Most of us close ourselves off to our true abundant potential by not even admitting what we really want. But we’ve been raised in a culture that still tells us not to be greedy or vain. Basically, you’re supposed to (somehow!) ask for “just enough” in life and not one bit more or else you risk the judgment of those you love.
But what a tricky path that is! Most of us learn to cope with this by severely underestimating our own desires, just to err on the side of caution. (Because if you never really ask for anything, no one can possibly judge you for it, right?)
For example, we might see pretty pictures of houses on Pinterest. But the thought of us actually living in one? Well, what would my family think? I couldn’t do that, right?
Wrong! You really can (and should) be calling in those desires of yours, no matter how “extravagant” they might seem to your mother or best friend or boss. Because if you truly believed in the abundant nature of reality, you’d never hesitate to ask for what you want.
The truth is that when we dim down our goals in order to not be judged by someone, we’re just giving into fear. And manifesting from fear is always a tricky task indeed.
So why keep doing that? Instead, let’s listen to our soul cravings and learn how to truly own them, as the divine beings we truly are. Because it’s only when you believe in your own divinity that you can drop all those worries about what other people will think!
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you definitely need to work on your scarcity beliefs!
Scarcity beliefs are deeply programmed into most of us. But scarcity goes hand-in-hand with fear–and our brain absolutely loves fear.
That’s because it’s still your brain’s job to protect you and keep you safe. One of the ways it does that is by constantly scanning the world around you for “danger” and then steering you well away from that.
If you’ve ever wondered why you’re “so negative” it’s because you’re literally hardwired to see things that way!
The world has also done its fair share to make us believe that there’s just not enough to go around.
But that’s not because the opposite is true. It’s because we’ve just been conditioned to think that there’s scarcity in the world.
Those are values of the capitalist system that have been programmed into us.
Our very school system was designed to turn us into employees. We’ve been taught to behave like the support team for someone else. We’ve been taught to move when the bell went off and to take lunch on a time schedule. We were definitely not taught the skills we need to be entrepreneurs, visionaries or founders.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with working for someone else. But again, this concept is usually tied up with our ideas about how we can make money and how much we can make. Believing that you can only make money from your 9-5 job might be holding you back from other money-making options.
It’s a fact that the average millionaire has 8 streams of income. (But that’s much different than 8 different full-time jobs! ????)
Sure, you might not be able to jump directly into real estate, as does the typical millionaire. But there are always money-making options for us to explore.
So it’s time to get creative and challenge yourself to come up with something. Again, this is less about working more and more about opening up new channels for money to find you.
Just remember that the Universe has a funny way of rewarding us for these ideas. So don’t be surprised that money starts flowing in as soon as you open a new money portal.
Life doesn’t always go as smoothly as we want it to! That means that you’re probably faced with your fair share of problems as you read this (especially when it comes to money).
This isn’t unusual but that probably isn’t stopping your brain from freaking out about them. Again, our brains are literally hardwired for negativity. So when we hit those inevitable roadblocks our brain will probably make a much bigger deal out of them than is necessary.
Being comfortable and safe might be what we crave but we also know that we need our problems to inspire our biggest moments of growth. Just look to your own past for proof: you’ll notice that your biggest lessons came from your so-called “problems”, not from the sunshine and rainbows.
When you’re hardwired to see the world negatively, it’s easy to believe that every problem is proof that you’re not worthy of what you want.
But what if those things weren’t actually working against you? What if they were the exact medicine you needed to discover your own power and abundant potential?
Instead of looking at our “problems” as punishment, we simply need to flip the script. They’re really not here to create extra pain. Instead, they’re here to guide you into stepping up and becoming your next-level self. Embracing them for the opportunity they present will help you not only feel terrible about yourself but it will also propel you through your next chapter of growth.
It’s a funny thing: while many of us long for help with our problems (workload, laundry, whatever they might be!) when it comes down to it, we sometimes have a hard time accepting help when it’s offered.
Think: saying no when a friend offers to babysit, not letting a coworker help you with a project, insisting on doing the laundry even though your partner offered (because they don’t do it right).
We can get really attached to our own egos, our victim stories, and even to discomfort itself! That means we sometimes push away the help that’s already all around us.
Living in true abundance requires us to flip that mindset on its head. Instead of micromanaging or insisting that “we’ve got this” what would happen if we allowed ourselves to be supported?
Our brain might try to fool us into thinking this is a sign of weakness. But it’s actually a sign of utter strength and complete fate. And if you really lived in an abundant world, then perhaps you wouldn’t have such a hard time accepting help when it arrived for you.
If this is resonating, it’s time to check your own patterns! Blocking help in one area often means blocking help everywhere. So it’s time to ditch those worries and let yourself become divinely supported (aka exactly the way life was meant to be).
If you’re serious about rewriting your money story and inviting more wealth and prosperity into your life, then please take these secrets and start applying them to your life. You’ll be so thankful that you did!

Wanna know about a money block that you’re probably suffering from?
It’s actually embedded in way we think about money. Our story about how long money “should” take to show up is the very thing that blocks us.
That’s right babe! It’s your very expectations about how long it takes to make or earn money that prevent you from manifesting money fast.
One of the best ways to do that is to challenge yourself to manifest money fast. That way, you can start proving a new outcome to your subconscious brain. Once your subconscious brain has “evidence” that something is true, that’s when it will allow more of that result into your world.
We will only ever manifest what we think we’re capable of so sometimes challenging yourself to do something difficult is the best way to reset your own expectations!
With all other areas of manifestation, I caution my students not to work with rigid timelines or deadlines.
But with money, those “rules” go out the window. That’s why today I’m recommend trying to manifest $1000 in a week (or a month etc.) It’s both a fun manifestation game and a great way to connect you back with your true manifestation power, no matter what else is going on in your world.
Playing with setting money amounts and deadline is actually great for your manifestation practice in general. I still meet loads of people who are trying to manifest an amazing life through wishy-washy desires (ie. “I want more money” etc.).
So venturing into the world of set dollar amounts and hard deadlines is great practice for deciding on what you want and asking for it in all areas in your life!
(In fact, if you’re resisting doing this I think that’s a huge sign that you need exactly this practice!)
Are you ready to manifest $1000 into your life within the next week? Let’s get started by following these 7 simple rules:
Whenever you’re serious about manifesting something, the first step is always to make your intentions absolutely clear! But again, how many people out there are still not brave enough to claim their desires?
Lots of people have issues being direct and asking for what they want, both in real life and in manifestation. But if you don’t ask, you’re not going to get it! So take a moment to stake your claim in what you want right now.
If you’re truly serious about manifesting $1000 in the next week, then take a moment to declare it. Stop, center your energy and say your wish out loud. Or do what I love to do and write it down somewhere. Be sure to include the full dollar amount and your deadline, plus date the note with today’s date as well, just to record it.
You can stick your note on your bathroom mirror, in your phone case or journal. But try to put it somewhere where you can see it and be reminded of your goal over the next week.
Have you ever tried to manifest a lot of money fast in the past? (For example: trying to manifest your entire rent check 3 days before it’s due!)
I’m going to take a wild guess that that attempt just didn’t work out for you. But let’s be clear: it’s not because you’re unlucky or undeserving or because just there isn’t money out there in the Universe that you are entitled to.
It’s because in those emergency situations you are waaaay too up in the meaning of money to actually let it in.
That desperate clingy energy does the very opposite of what you want it to do. It drives the very thing you want far, far away.
It’s just a hilarious joke of the Universe that we manifest everything much better when we’re not so attached to the outcome! So the more you can stay in fun, happy, playful energy the easier it will be for you to manifest.
Keep an eye on your energy as you go through the week. The minute you start to get grasp-y or micro-manage-y (or whatever your particular controlling poison might happen to be) then remember to release and get back into the vibe of fun. Stay grateful for what you already have and ask for the $1000 because the very act is fun in itself, not because you absolutely need the money for rent or to prove something about yourself.
The more playful you can be, the better!
Think about this: if you were on the street one day and suddenly started to chase a dog/child/man (lol!) what would happen? Of course, the dog/child/man would do what its instincts told them to do–and run the other way!
But the exact same principle applies with money. When you’re running directly at it, it’s going to do its best to run the other way.
Instead, be happy, open and friendly to money, just as you would a person (or dog!) in real life. When you’re inviting but not forcing, that’s when the other energy can actually feel safe and interact with you.
Feeling kind of confused about how exactly to do this? One powerful way to start tuning into that energy of money is to use a money attraction subliminal that you can listen to while you work out, sleep etc. Go over here to check out one by me!
The Universe is a naturally abundant place and there’s truly money available to us from many different sources. However, most of us have accidentally created a money bottle neck in our world by unintentionally limiting the ways in which we can receive money.
So if you’re serious about manifesting money fast, it’s wise to help the Universe along by providing the Universe with a new pathway or two for money to find you.
Think about it like this: if right now you’re wanting to manifest $1000 but you don’t do anything differently, then money can only find it way to you down a few paths (a bonus at work for example). But if you open the doors to new opportunities then there’s more options for the Universe to choose from.
Take some time this week to consider how you could open new portals to money. Selling last years handbag collection? Finally telling people about your photography skills? Get creative and see what you can come up with!
Just don’t get frantic about this! Remember it’s not about doing it all. But it is about opening new doorways for yourself.
As you go through your week, your biggest job is to notice how your brain gets in your way. Basically, anything that gets in the way of what you manifesting money is something for you to notice and reprogram.
Most of us have a ton of limiting beliefs and negative programming around money. Keep an eye out for familiar but limiting thought patterns like: “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” “Rich people are greedy.” etc.
Those beliefs might seem harmless enough but they’re actually creating invisible barriers to our money goals. But you are a Conscious Creator my friend! Please exercise this right by noticing what your brain is telling you and reprogramming the ideas that just aren’t helping.
As I always say, the Law of Attraction also contains the Law of Action. Meaning: it’s up to you to do something to help draw in your desires.
But again, this isn’t about getting frantic, pulling all-nighters and doing everything you can possibly think of. In fact, this is less about what you actually do and more about the fact that you are doing it.
The Universe loves and rewards speed. So if you have a sudden brilliant idea this week, be sure to act on it–and quickly! Those pings and sudden flashes of inspiration are being given to you for a reason so be sure you take those divine gifts and run with them.
As you go through your week, stop looking at the clock and freaking out that “it’s not here yet!” That type of behavior just indicates that you’ve fallen out of trust.
When you set your intention, it typically goes hand-in-hand with a sense of trust. Yet through the week our Inner Worrywart can rise to the surface and drag us far away from that calm trusting place.
Try to think about it this way: if you knew with absolute certainty that your $1000 was on its way to you, would you still be freaking out? Probably not! But the very fact that you are spending so much time worried about “What if?” is taking your precious energy away from thinking about what you really want.
Remember that our mindset is creating our results, in every thought and every choice. So slipping into that un-trusting state is actually pushing what you want further away.
If you notice this, remember to go back to confident trusting and let your manifestation come find you.
I know receiving doesn’t seem like something you have to work for. It happens when the money shows up right?
Well it’s not always as easy as that! When it comes to manifesting money, we have to remember to look at the big picture.
Money often shows up from several sources. Maybe you get a surprise refund check and maybe an acquaintance suddenly offers you a paid weekend gig. Maybe neither of those amounts are $1000 by themselves–but if you add them up, boom! There’s your money.
However, if you weren’t paying close attention you might have missed out on noticing your very own miracle.For this reason, you must always to stay open, aware and receptive of what’s happening in your world. Maybe keep yourself a little manifestation diary (or Notes app on your phone) and record your progress in there. And yes, even the little things (like a friend buying your coffee) can go towards your goal.
The goal is to accept that money as it shows up and be grateful for every little extra bit! After all, there’s basically nothing worse (energetically speaking) than asking the Universe for something and not acknowledging it (or being grateful for it!) when it actually does show up. So let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.
Challenging yourself to keep a grateful and magical mindset just makes you more magnetic in general. So stay in tuned with your world and watch what happens as you become more and more magnetic!
I hope you have so much fun with this simple money manifestation challenge! If you try it out, I’d love it if you could come back and share your results. And as always, feel free to pass this post along to a friend.
Happy money manifesting my friend!

Money has been something I’ve always struggled with–to the point that being someone who struggled with money was just part of my identity.
I dreamed about making more but when it came down to actually making more of it, something always got in the way. (I couldn’t go for the job I really wanted because I didn’t have the training. My employers were cheap. The city was just too hard to make money in.) Etc etc etc.
I know that right now looking at those sentences it’s very easy to see how I was creating a story of scarcity and lack. But all of that stuff felt very real to me at the time.
And I suspect it might seem very real to you too, since you found your way to this post today!
So I really want you to know: that your money reality does not have to look the same way it always has.
But what happens when you believe without evidence?
What happens when you start writing a new money story that isn’t tied to your old money disappointments and negative programming?
It’s actually only when we can let go of our past limitations that we step into our true power as a Conscious Creator (aka manifestor!).
However, that’s easier said than done! When it comes to money, we all have a lot of money mindset baggage that we need to unpack.
Even if we don’t realize it! Quite often that money mindset stuff is all so well-ingrained that often we don’t even realize it’s there!
That’s the biggest problem with limiting beliefs: we truly believe in them, to the point that they just seem like cold hard facts, not things we’ve actually chosen for ourselves.
So just in case you’re wondering about whether your own money mindset needs a boost, I put together this guide to help you identity your own signs of low money self-worth.
I’ve talked to a lot of people over the years who are all looking to manifest more money! And quite a few of those people have the exact same dream: to win the lottery.
Winning the lotto might seem like the easiest breeziest way to change your money story fast. So I understand why people desire this. But after learning more about the energetics of money, now I can see why this desire is a money block unto itself.
Many people put their focus on trying to win the lottery because they don’t believe there’s any other way they can make money. That means this desire is forming out of desperation, not true desire! They believe the power to make money is separate from them. They’re only wanting this because they don’t trust themselves enough to figure out how to make or earn more money on their own.
So here’s a question for you to ponder: would you rather chance your way into winning a million dollars? Or would you rather learn how to earn that money yourself?
After all, if you learn how to do it yourself, then you become unfuckwithable when it comes to money. You truly learn that you generate your own fortune and that means you can generate more anytime you like. And in my mind, that is true self-worth when it comes to money, not lack and scarcity.
I get it: the money struggle is real! And blaming other people for your current situation feels justified in so many ways.
While I’m not one to deny that there are plenty of factors that affect our ability to earn and keep money, I’m also adamant that each and every one of us take full responsibility for our money story.
So yes it’s true: maybe you grew up “on the wrong side of the tracks”. Maybe your family had money issues. Maybe your socio-economic/racial background has a history of poverty.
Those things might be very true and real! But they’re also not a complete block to your success–unless you agree to make them so.
If you believe the story that your background or education or skin color matters more than you, then yes of course that’s going to hold you back. But there are people alive here on this planet who’ve overcome all kinds of adversity–which means those excuses are not objectively real.
Yes, it’s often easier to stay angry and to play the victim. It’s very easy to identify what’s standing in your way. And it’s downright difficult to see those same blocks and to take action anyway. But that’s a choice that every person gets to make for themselves, no matter who they are or what they’ve experienced. So if you’re choosing to play the victim, it might be worth questioning why.
Haven’t received a raise in years? Or you’re tiptoeing around raising your current prices? That’s really just money fear in disguise–and a very obvious sign that your money self-worth is dangerously low.
Inflation is just a fact of life! That means our rent, food and life costs are slowly going up over time. So unless your salary is also going up over time, you’re actually going to be making less money than you were when you first began.
That might not have anything to do with you personally but here’s where it gets personal: your value is also going up over time. Even if you don’t technically get a promotion, you’ve clocked another solid year at doing what you do. That means you’ve gotten better. You’ve gotten faster and you’ve accumulated more knowledge.
It’s easy to forget all about that when everything else stays the same! But it’s true. And whether you’re an employee or an entrepreneur, you have to stay aware of your ever increasing value in the world. Ignoring or downplaying this is a very clear sign of low money self-worth.
You are a spiritual being having a human experience! But money is a basic fact of being human. We’ve simply incarnated in a world where we need money to pay for things.
However, money is still a heavily-weighted emotional topic. In particular, spiritual people and women struggle with their ability to earn money. Even though money rules the world, we still collectively look down on rich people in general. We stereotype them as being evil or greedy. And since we don’t want to be evil or greedy (and therefore remain lovable) then we subconsciously push the money away too.
But money in itself is neither good nor evil. Yes, it does amplify whoever it belongs to! But it doesn’t have any weird power of its own. That means you suddenly having a bunch of money won’t suddenly become someone different.
Those money issues run deep but please know this: there’s nothing wrong or shameful in simply wanting enough for your basic needs or the needs of your family. We shouldn’t have to hide our desires or pretend to want less than we do! If you don’t feel comfortable at least asking for what you want, then that’s a very big sign that your money self-worth needs a boost.
My friends, please don’t get huffy about this one before you hear me out! I’m definitely not the Style Police over here and I do not think my friends need to own the latest Gucci to sit at my table. (I’m wearing my comfy old Lululemon as I write this, for example!)
But there’s no arguing that the way we present ourselves to the world says a lot about how we feel about ourselves.
I want you to imagine for a moment, you at your wealthiest. You’re feeling good, doing amazing things in the world. You’re standing up straight and speaking with confidence. And you’re probably dressing like you actually matter right?
So now tell me: does your Corona daytime pajama outfit match up to that image–even remotely? Do your regular outfit choices make feel like your best, brightest, shiniest self? Are you showing up as your best self at any point during your week?
It doesn’t take a whole lot to feel comfortable and confident, even if you work from home! And if this concept feels completely foreign to you, then maybe it’s time to dig a little deeper. Because if you’re currently not feeling that great about what you see in the mirror, I’m going to guess you’re also not feeling that great about what’s in the bank account either! It’s not a separate issue. Everything is connected!
This one definitely applies if you have an Us Vs Them mentality when it comes to money. You always think that rich people just know something that you don’t. You may or may not like being on the team you’re on but the bigger issue is just seeing them as being two different types of people.
Of course, money isn’t everything in life! But if you have the desire for money and you fundamentally believe you can’t have the amount of money that you want, then that’s 100% a sign of low money self-worth.
Basically, you’re giving your power away to some invisible force that’s stronger than you. Because if you truly believe that you can’t ever be rich, you’re probably never going to try to actually become rich! But if wealth is something that you desire then you’re basically signing up to be unhappy forever with this type of mindset.
Just remember that you don’t have to settle for living your same money story over and over again! Be brave, heal your money issues and give yourself permission to believe in something new for yourself. You might just be shocked at how quickly your money mindset can change!
