Women Rise: Reclaim Your Money Narrative
The Event
This June, we hosted the fourth event in our Women Rise guided conversation series. Our conversation guide for Reclaim Your Money Narrative was Debbie Chen, International Coaching Federation certified coach, a Holistic Financial Strategist, a Chartered Professional Accountant and a Reiki Master Teacher. Dedicated to empowering women, especially BIPOC women, by transforming their approach to financial conversations and reframing their beliefs about money.
In the 2 hour conversation, Debbie led the group in exploring our money mindset, including the emotions we feel around around money and the stories we tell ourselves about it, and what wisdoms we were able to gain from these insights.
Debbie closed out the evening with an Oracle Deck, pulling the card LIA: Stand Your Ground. Don’t suffer in silence. Ask for what you want.
Actionable Steps to Reclaim Your Money Narrative
Reframe
Start by noticing and journalling anything that comes up around money, especially the money stories that may be limiting you from shining bright like the brightest star that you are. Use the “Even Though” script to write a more empowering narrative. Reframing in this way helps to shift and change what you actually value.
Ask for help
Collaborate with professional (financial advisor, money person) to learn. Its important to find someone who is right for you. Women are often so good at wearing multiple hats, taking on different roles, being there for everyone else except for ourselves. This can make asking for help can feel unnatural and uncomfortable. However, collaborating with other experts is one of the most prosperous acts! It’s ok to ask for help. In fact, it’s crucial to ask for support on things we don’t enjoy doing. It’s the only way to keep our energy (and our economy!) sustainable.
Ask yourself: in your perfect world, what do you wish to push off of your plate? What do you need to start doing that?
