Could childhood trauma be causing your money drama? (Part One)

Could childhood trauma be the root of your money troubles?

Childhood dysfunction can profoundly shape our adult relationship with money. Growing up in an environment of financial instability or witnessing parental money struggles can instill anxiety and fear about financial security. This can manifest in behaviors such as avoiding money or impulsively spending it. Many, including myself, have faced moments where saving felt impossible, causing insecurity. Having coached over 150,000 individuals worldwide, I’ve uncovered a strong link between childhood experiences and adult financial behavior, often operating subconsciously. In this blog, I’ll reveal six signs that childhood dysfunction might underlie your financial struggles.

Six signs of your childhood’s dysfunctional environment and interpreted messages can be showing up as money-limiting behaviors in your present life. Some of these you may be aware of within yourself, but don’t know how to stop them. Some of these are subconscious and today may be the first time you are putting the pieces of the puzzle together. 

 

The first three we are covering in this two-part mini-series:

 

  1. Settling for mediocre 
  2. Over-functioning to exhaustion
  3. Constantly worried about what “they” will think.

 

 

The first step to rewriting your money story is awareness without self-judgment. Getting into a shame spiral around this stuff will only further repel the abundance you desire and deserve.

EP 743 {Part Two} From Breakdown to Breakthrough: The Story Behind My Timeline Jump

Inside this episode, you’ll hear the real signs of a quantum leap that almost no one talks about. Like why rest feels threatening. Why your body keeps trying to “do” and produce. Why your brain keeps trying to make problems where there aren’t any. Why you feel disoriented even though you know you’re entering a new timeline.

This is where the subconscious rewiring happens. This is where the new identity replaces the old one at the root. This episode will help you understand what your body is doing, what your brain is trying to protect you from, and how to regulate your nervous system so the new timeline can actually lock in — instead of snapping you back to the old reality through fear, distraction, and overthinking.

EP 742 {Part One} From Breakdown to Breakthrough: The Story Behind My Timeline Jump

What if the breakdown you’re in right now is actually the bridge to your next timeline? In this raw, story-driven episode, Tiffany pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest timeline jumps of her life, a season that looked like everything was falling apart, but was actually falling into place.

You’ll hear the real, behind-the-scenes truth about what a timeline jump feels like — not the romanticized version that goes viral online, but the messy middle where faith is tested, identities collapse, and everything you thought you wanted starts to dissolve.

If you’ve been feeling lost, detached, or uncertain about what’s next, this episode will help you see the divine order behind the chaos — and remind you that your breakthrough always arrives right after the breakdown.
