Good Morning Bestie

Hey Bestie, 

I blink and January is almost gone. Does anyone else feel the same about their first month in 2026? NGL bestie, we are 19 days in and I have had the urge to crash out hard. Which is funny because when I zoom out of the situation, I tell myself that any stresses, worries, doubts I have are very temporary, but that tight feeling in my chest still lingers and I have to regulate ASAP. The main reason these thoughts happen is because the stress of money. For this weeks news article, the topic is money mindset because as much as I dislike to admit, money is important and a resource that is needed. However, in the past 2 years my feelings about money has changed greatly and to anyone that is worried about bills, feeling limited, or is over living ay check to pay check, this story is for you bestie.

 

Story Time: In October of 2023 I decided to leave my 9-5 of almost 7 years to pursue hair. I had savings but doing the math, it was going to be a pretty big pay cut. Had no idea what was going to be in store and how much things I had to face during that season. With my corporate job, I made decent money but I always felt "broke" that I was behind, stressed about paying bills, I did not like my bank account going below a certain number. When I made the shift to hair, I started off as an apprentice and that really showed me "wait, I can't buy this", this bill is coming up, making choices and not having everything set in autopay. Talk about terrifying AF. The bills didn't stop and the doubt was coming into my mind if I made the right decision or HOW am I going to make this work. I started missing the things that made me feel good (facials, getting y nails done, traveling)  or the stuff I truly took for granted (like being able to buy groceries). Looking back now, as uncomfortable that period of my life was. It showed me what real discipline looked like. Plus having so much faith that it will all work out one way or the other. When your back is pushed up against the corner, you really do have to figure it out bestie. Very few want to share these memories. Some only want to share the highlights. I was broke now I am not. The end. It was more than changing my mindset, I had to embrace a whole new identity when it came to finances. First, I started with getting comfortable with looking at my not so sext bank account and gave it so much GRATITUDE AND PRAISE. I was low but my bills were covered, gas in the car, food for my dogs. I realized was slowly dettaching from things I once thought I needed to be relevant. Especially when it came to social events. I would have to start getting selective with where I was going and who I was spending my time with because at the time I was limited with my options. The ego was yelling so loud attempting to make me feel like I have made a mistake and failed hard. Now the next thing I had to face was despite my circumstances, even if I see things that I am not a fan of, low bank account, last minute expenses, possibly being late on payment...it was all going to work out some way shape or form. I know SCARY. Because I didn't feel secured, calm, and collected. Hence why I got heavy in personal development and mindset because if I can shift my focus to things that actually made me feel good and the possibilities coming to my life, maybe the stress wouldn't consume me so dam hard. 

The reason why I am sharing this moment with you bestie is because I wouldn't be able to speak on any of these topics if I didn't experience the struggle myself. The situation that you are going through right now is temporary. You can allow yourself to feel but the feeling can not stay in your mind. As Joe Dispenza would say: "You thoughts turn into feelings, your feelings turn into actions, your actions will lead to your results". How lucky are we that we can control how we towards a certain event. That nobody can make you feel anything. At this point if I can leave you with this advice, everything is freaking neutral. You decide the feelings you want to place on it. Money is neutral. It is a resource that can be used but it is not above you. Money works for you bestie. Give some thanks for the things you do have and more will appear. Get comfortable and clear with who do you want to be when you do get the money. How would you feel if it was deposited in your bank account or it was something you did not have to worry about because it is alway there. Once you decide that feeling, stay in that and watch how much comes your way. Remember that everything is always working out for you and more!

 

 

 

 

Aligned AF

Once a month or week, take yourself on a money date. Get comfortable with looking at your expenses, debts, and responsibilities. Don't call it a budget, I like to call it a spending plan because it rewires your brain to think that you have the funds but you get to choose how you spend it.

BONUS TIP:

Make it a vibe. Go to your favorite coffee shop, cook your favorite dinner, go somewhere new that makes you feel expensive. The goal is to normalize the feeling of the person you want to become that is comfortable with large amounts of money.
