From Burnout to Blessing

Hello Empowered Wayers:You’ve heard the saying, “You teach what you most need to learn.” There’s a reason I became a Women’s Wealth Coach and inspirational author.But it didn’t start with some divine lightning bolt or grand life plan. I was tired of the grind, exhausted to the point of not wanting to get up in the morning. I began questioning my career, money goals, and life in general. It was a dark time of doubt, confusion, and judgment. Nothing I did seemed to help, but only made it worse. It was time for a drastic change and shift away from the expected.To understand how I got to that point, you have to move back in time to the money stories I learned growing up. The backdrop to my struggleI grew up in a household where money was the measuring stick. My father came of age during the Great Depression, which had a profound impact on his relationships, including money. From him, I learned that achievement was prized, goal-setting was expected, and being “successful” meant earning at least six figures. My mother had a fearful relationship with money. When it flowed, everything was good in the world, but any hint of a threat caused her to worry. Even though her worry never resolved the threat, she continued to speak it out loud. Her happiness seemed to be tied to the security of money and that made a deep impression.I was the only girl, sensitive to the energy and tension in the household. None of my brothers were bothered by the discussions of “money.” When the negative energy dominated the family, I withdrew to my room, loosing myself in books. I learned early on that money equaled safety, value, and worth. So I did what any high-functioning, approval-seeking daughter of that system would do: I went to law school, graduated and began work at a prestigious law firm. I learned how to practice law (surprise! They don’t teach that in law school), advance, and win. And I slowly lost myself.At first, I thought the pressure and stress were just part of the job. But eventually, my body, mind, and soul couldn’t keep up. I burned out, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.That’s when something cracked open.The turning point and openingI came across a book by Tosha Silver called It’s Not Your Money. I thought, “Well, that’s a cute idea—but obviously, it is my money. I earned it and I worked hard for it.”As I read more of the book, it dawned on me. I had been chasing money as if it were the cause of security, success, even love. But money isn’t the cause of anything — it’s the effect.And that insight flipped my world.“You don’t have to be the Source. You only have to let the Source flow through you.” - Tosha Silver, “It’s Not Your Money”As you align with Source, abundance can begin to flow. Instead of burnout, I became a channel. And I wanted to share these insights with every woman I met.That’s when I began writing inspirational fiction as spiritual medicine. The first book was, “Heart Dancing: A Spiritual Alchemy Adventure.” More recently, the “Money Tree: Transform Scarcity Thinking to Empowered Wealth Consciousness” was published.I knew there was more to my journey. I wanted to heal my relationship with money, wealth and abundance. I became a certified Sacred Money Archetype Coach and focused on women with troubled relationships with money.The shift to Empowered WayMoney is energy. It flows or contracts, based on energetic alignment, not your work ethic. Money responds to how we receive, not how we hard we work.I had been trained to accumulate money through action and control. But what I craved and needed, was to experience money through connection and relationship.That’s when Empowered Way was born. I wanted to create a different way to live, earn, give, and receive, rooted in the energy of the Sacred Feminine. Empowered Way honors the invisible, intuitive, deeply powerful energy that women carry. The end result is a unique definition of wealth as well-being. Wealth as a reflection of inner alignment, not proof of performance.Now, I have the honor to work with women entrepreneurs who are waking up to these deeper truths:* Wealth isn’t your bank account or possessions;* Money isn’t something to chase or scheme after;* It’s possible to receive wealth from your relationship with Divine Love.I have learned how to peacefully create abundant wealth. You are here to thrive and shineIf you’re on this path too, knowing the accepted way hasn’t worked or felt too much, I see you. You’re not crazy, you’re just waking up.And trust me: there’s another way for women to have a sovereign, peaceful relationship with money, wealth, and abundance. You just have to say “Yes!” to yourself. I will be waiting for you.With love,KathrynP.S. If you’re ready to learn who-you-are with money, Flo, Ai can show you.
