Let me tell you something I wish more people would say out loud:
The idea that you just need to “heal your money wounds” and poof, you’ll suddenly become a millionaire, is absolute, unfiltered bullshit.
It is.
I’m not denying the truth that many of us have had to do deep internal work around money, safety, comfort, survival mode, and all the emotional noise that lives under our bank accounts. I’ve had to do that work too. It mattered. It changed me. It changed the way I move and the amount of money I make.
But here’s the part that the coaching-industrial-complex never wants to say, because it breaks their whole aesthetic:
There are a shocking number of deeply unwell, un-self-aware, emotionally stunted people who are billionaires.
And there are profoundly grounded, self-aware, generous humans who will struggle with money until their last breath.
Not because they didn’t “heal enough.”
Not because their aura wasn’t open to abundance.
Not because they didn’t listen to the woman drinking the $18 green smoothie who claims she can fix their financial destiny in five modules.
No. It’s because life is not a linear spiritual meritocracy where healing automatically turns into cash.
This is the part people forget:
We are not incarnated into the same lives.
We do not have the same bodies, histories, ancestors, barriers, or safety nets.
Systemic infrastructures shape our experience long before our affirmations ever get a chance.
Some of us are born into conditions that make “receiving abundance” possible.
Some of us are born into conditions that make survival a lifelong job.
Some of us are born into trust funds.
Some of us are born into generational trauma and generational debt at the exact same time.
Money mindset doesn’t erase any of that.
So yes, maybe you had noise around money until you healed something.
Maybe you had noise around relationships until you healed something.
Maybe your life invited you to look within before something external could shift.
But that’s your path.
Not a universal rule.
The spiritual internet loves to pretend there’s a hierarchy:
“If you were evolved enough, you’d have more money.”
“If you were open to abundance, you’d be wealthy by now.”
To which the only correct response is:
Fuck you.
Because what that narrative reveals is not your supposed lack of spiritual maturity, it reveals their lack of understanding about Earth, power, privilege, economics, and the basic reality that the soul may be infinite, but we incarnate into systems.
So yes, healing matters.
Yes, your relationship with money matters.
Yes, your nervous system, safety, and inner world matter.
But money is not a moral reward.
Wealth is not a spiritual ranking.
And being broke is not a sign of spiritual failure.
The truth is always “both/and,” and it’s messy, and we forget it every damn day.
Which is why I’m writing this:
To remind you of what you already know.
You are not behind.
You are not spiritually defective.
You are not blocking blessings because your bank account is inconsistent.
You’re just alive on this planet, navigating systems that were not built for your thriving, while also growing into the person your soul came here to be.
And that?
That’s the real work.
Not the smoothie.
Not the mindset hacks.
Not the shame.
Just the truth.
Courage, truth, and infinite love,

I don’t believe in magic, but I know that it works!
Magic is not a belief system, it’s a practice that works. Don’t believe me? Come try it out. If it doesn’t work, you lose nothing. But if it does… your dream life is about to begin!
