5 simple principles to master money. (And why they’re so hard to implement in real life.) Here’s what to do about it.
Reader,
Mastering money is simple.
- Know what you make and what you spend
- Make more than you spend
- Save a portion of the surplus so you don’t go into debt for ‘emergencies’
- Invest the rest of the surplus to grow wealth
- Leverage compounding over time to maximize your investment returns
5 simple principles to be wealthy and financially free.
Right?
Nah.
Most people are struggling with most, if not all of these ‘simple’ principles.
That’s why most people aren’t financially free.
You know why?
The process of executing these 5 principles is fraught with strong emotions that pull, push, or keep us stuck.
How many people stick with tracking what they make and spend?
How many people are stuck spending more than they make?
How many people don’t have surplus savings to deal with emergencies?
How many people still have any surplus left after taking care of everything they need to live to still invest?
How many people leave their investment alone to compound over decades instead of feeling compelled to touch it to make a quick buck?
Yup.
Money is totally emotional.
Mastering money is simple, but far from easy.
Until you get a handle on those emotions
that make you do things you know you shouldn’t with your money
but still can’t seem to help it.
Calming yourself during the process of implementing these 5 simple principles as you go through life,
is how you can finally be a master of your money, rather than a slave to it.
The first step to getting a handle on how you feel about money is to notice what those sensations feel like.
The easiest way to do this is to pay attention to where in your body it shows up.
Then name it and give it a color, texture, or smell.
Emotions are intangible, giving them form helps us wrap our heads around it.
Now that you can see it, we can deal with it.
To release its hold on you, you have to change the way you relate to it.

Reader, I've been thinking about why so many smart, capable women feel stuck in their careers. And I realized something: We've been taught to build careers like men in the 1950s - linear, logical, based on external metrics of success. But what if your path is supposed to be different? What if your sensitivity isn't a weakness but a superpower? What if your intuition isn't 'soft' but your competitive advantage? What if your desire for meaningful work isn't 'unrealistic' but exactly what the...
Reader, Here's a stat that stopped me in my tracks: 73% of working mothers are planning a career change within the next 12 months. But here's what the research doesn't tell you: Most of them will make the same mistake I made for years - they'll change their job, not their approach. Different company, same exhaustion. New role, same feeling that something's missing. What if I told you the women who actually create careers they love aren't just changing jobs - they're changing how they make...
The Weekly Newsletter CAREER COACH FOR WORKING MOMS I've always been the person who makes career decisions that look crazy from the outside. Pay cut for a smaller role? ✅ Leaving stable jobs for unknown opportunities? ✅ Following gut instincts over spreadsheet logic? ✅ People thought I was either brave or reckless. Turns out, I was just being myself. Last week I discovered Human Design - basically a personality system that creates your 'user manual for life' based on your birth details....
