In today's solo episode Dani takes you back to the very beginning where her relationship to money began, in utero. She invites us all to look at the beliefs we picked up when we were young closely and with compassion. This is a candid story of pain and shame around money, one that eventually moves into a place of grounded peace and empowerment. You'll go on a journey through her adolescent years of stealing, getting scolded by a police officer, and continuing to steal even more; a painful pattern that eventually became a deep family wound that has since (thankfully) healed. She talks about the moment when she started to see her dysfunctional patterning and began navigating where it came from. She talks about her first healthy financial decision and the ripply effect that has had on her relationship to money (and love) today.She talks about the lightbulb moment she had around the connection to money and her relationship; the deep rooted fear that it will all just go away. You will walk away with actionable steps on how you can completely shift your relationship with money, your relationships, and ultimately, yourself. If you've ever felt hopeless, ashamed, and messy in your relationship with money, this episode is for you. Because if she can come to a place of higher self-worth and peace with money, she believes anybody can, all just by doing a little bit of digging.Links:The Cozy RollerThe Montana RetreatI Will Teach You to be Rich by Ramit SethiConnect with Dani:EmailWebsitePersonal InstagramHoneysuckle and Mud Instagram
