One of the biggest blocks that used to prevent me from experiencing more ease and peace of mind about money was RESENTMENT.
Of course, I didn't know it at the time to label it this.
All I knew was that I was constantly angry,
at my bosses, my work situation, my family, and most of all, my husband! LOL
I laugh about it now, but it used to create so much tension and ugly fights between us.
These fights played on a loop. And it made me feel miserable.
They were always around the same old things -
- Not enough money - mostly me blaming him that we didn't have enough money
- Him feeling like I put my work and colleagues above him - which was a result of my fear of getting fired and losing my income
This is how money can affect our lives without us even knowing it.
Our emotions around money seep silently into and affect so many aspects of our lives.
Making us feel this chronic low (or even high) level of dissatisfaction, discontentment, and insecurity.
Becoming aware of my resentment enabled me to stop demanding and depending on others to come and save me.
I could finally let go of my desperate need for others to take care of me.
I became certain that no matter what, I'd be okay.
When I learned to believe in myself 100%, the constant pressure and fear I used to feel lifted.
I could think and act calmly and clearly.
I didn't even have to make millions of dollars to feel this way.
Am I delusional?
Maybe.
But my delusions led me to
- make the money I want
- do work I'm excited about
- travel the world with my kids
- mend my relationship with my husband
All in all, my delusions helped me live a happier, more relaxed, and peaceful life.
If you also want to be delusional feel happier, more satisfied, and at peace, all it takes is for you to:
- Make a decision
- Have a simple plan
- Condition your mind
- Get the help you need
- Take intentional and consistent action
If you want help doing this because you're tired of feeling stressed and anxious about money, book a call with me to learn how.

Growing up, I never thought about money. My dad earned it. My mum ran the home. When my brother and I went overseas to study, my dad paid for all of it. Money was just there when we needed it. So without knowing it, I grew up with a story. No matter what happens, someone will take care of me. I never questioned it. I didn’t even know it was there. Until life put it to the test. What I believed in no longer made sense My husband and I quit our jobs to start a café. It didn’t work out. We...
This month, I settled my son into university in the UK. I talked about it on my LinkedIn post HERE. It was exciting, a little heartbreaking leaving my son there while I came home. Then the bills started arriving and all the old stress and anxiety about money resurfaced, even though the money was there. It was more a timing issue. Some funds just hadn’t come in yet. But I felt it. That familiar tightness in my chest. The quiet panic I used to live with every day. I hadn’t felt it in a long...
What my weight taught me about money Last week I flew home from the UK just in time for my daughter's graduation. I'd spent two and a half weeks helping our son settle into university. Then I was back in Singapore, sitting in a school hall, watching my daughter cross the stage. At the graduation, we bumped into a teacher who had taught both my kids. My husband and I noticed straight away how well he looked. He'd been making changes to his eating for health reasons over the past year. We asked...
