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:

Settling for mediocre
Over-functioning to exhaustion
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.

Overthinking is not a character flaw. It is a biological response to uncertainty, pressure, and identity change.

In this episode of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, I teach you how to stop fighting your brain and start working with it so you can finally experience mental clarity, calm focus, and confident decision-making in 2026.

This is especially for high-achieving entrepreneurs, spiritually minded leaders, and anyone who feels mentally exhausted from trying to figure everything out.

EP 760 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (THE BODY) How to Get Your Energy, Body, & Skin Snatched- Even If You Feel Unmotivated right now

If your energy feels inconsistent, your body no longer responds the way it used to, and your skin seems to reflect stress more than confidence, this episode explains why that is happening at the identity and nervous system level.

The 2026 Glow Up Protocol begins with the body because every habit, every discipline pattern, and every glow up is controlled by internal safety signals, not motivation.

This episode is part of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a 6-part identity reset covering the body, the bank account, the business, the brain, the being, and the boundaries. It is designed for burnt out high achievers who are ready to stop pushing harder and start becoming the version of themselves that success actually sticks to.

EP 759 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (THE BRAND) How to Create a Magnetic Personal Brand That Matches Your True Self

Your personal brand is not your logo, your colors, or your social media bio. It is the identity you live from every single day. It is the story you tell about who you are, what you stand for, and what you believe is possible for your life.

This episode is the starting point of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a six part identity transformation playbook designed for high achievers who feel burnt out, disconnected, and ready to deliberately craft a life that feels aligned instead of draining. This is a completely different way to approach personal growth, because nothing changes sustainably until your identity changes first.

Your brand is the hub of the wheel. It is the center that everything else spins from. Your body, your brain, your business, and your relationship with money will never feel stable if the story you tell about yourself is outdated.
