Positive one that empowers women entrepreneurs to make smart decisions, set clear goals, and achieve sustainable growth. I hope so. However, if money isn't quite flowing into your business or your life the way you'd like, it may be due to an abundance wound. So today we're going to be examining the stories that can block financial success and help you heal that abundance wound. And we're going to be talking about what it looks like. So in case you think you don't have it, you may start to think otherwise. Possibly. I hope not. But first, as always, I want to welcome you to Live Love Engage, especially if this is your first time. Joining us, I am Gloria Grace, founder of Align to Shine Academy, and I empower women over 50 to overcome life's challenges so they can embrace who they are, lead boldly, and shine their light in the world. So what the heck is an abundance wound anyway? Well, it is a deep seated belief that you're not worthy of financial abundance. And it's really rooted in this belief that there's not enough or even more fundamentally, that I'm not enough. And I can relate to this one because I definitely, I definitely have had that come up in my life. I mean it definitely when I started, first started my business way back in 2009 and, and I wrote about this in my book Live Love Engage, that I discovered that I had a lot of like, limiting beliefs around money and, and in researching and you know, getting ready for this episode, also just sort of reminding myself of how that showed up for me. So let's talk about that a little bit. So it can be financially, of course it can show up with patterns like compulsive spending or on the other side, excessive saving, maybe a fear of investing, you know, getting into the stock market, or it's that constant sense of financial instability even when that's not how your life actually is or maybe circumstances have improved. Maybe it was that way at one time, but not anymore. And there can also be some, emotionally, it can show up as feelings of shame or guilt or fear around money and abundance and it's often triggered by early experiences or family attitudes. And again, I'll, I'll say for, from my experience growing up that my mom definitely had, was, was always feeling like we didn't have enough and she would rely on her mom to be able to help her out, to help our family out financially. And even though both my mom and dad worked and, and they did, and, and this is even in the 70s and then not many, not as many women were in the workforce. So, you know, they were working full time. And. And as my beloved sister, who's not with us anymore, used to. Used to needle me about. Is that you were. You were spoiled. Glor. I was like. And I realize now that, well, in a lot of ways, I mean, I did have some traumatic things in my childhood, but overall, I had dance lessons. In fact, my mom quit smoking to help pay for my dance lessons. I was in Girl Scouts. I had guitar lessons, I had organ lessons. So, you know, and then later on, my mom bought tickets to Broadway shows. We. We would have, you know, those, Those plans where you get, you know, what is the word? I can't think of it like packet and whatever. A package of shows that we would go to. So we were middle class for sure. We weren't. I mean, yes, during the. There was a recession in the 70s where we were eating a lot of Hamburger Helper, which I did not like, and we had to keep the thermostat turn down low in the winter. I grew up in Michigan because it was expensive to run the furnace, so we would have to, you know, layer up on clothes and put. We had. Luckily we had in. In one room of our house, we had a fireplace, so we would, you know, put a log in the fire and stay warm that way. But it's still. There was a lot of this stuff that showed up. And so in particular for. For women, let's say over 50, that a lot of times we might have internalized, you know, traditional gender roles, and that leads to. Can lead to guilt or hesitation around prioritizing their own ambitions, you know, whether it is working or. Or starting a business or, you know, spending family resources on their business, even if they're financially secure. And they may also have to grieve the lack of support from previous generations, and they're consciously going out and trying to choose new supportive communities. Now. Younger women, and I know sometimes we do have some younger women listening to this podcast, you may find that that abundance wound manifests as guilt over investing time and money in your business at the perceived expense of family needs. Or you might just, you know, again, as we get older, we do tend to be a little bit more financially secure. But when you're younger, you know, you're trying to pay for a house, you're trying to raise kids, you know, there's not as much necessarily disposable income, so you may tend to overwork in your business or, or again, you're not feeling worthy and you might suffer from imposter syndrome. So there's a lot, there's a lot that can happen here that can really, you know, bring up these issues around money where, where we don't feel like we have enough. And, and a lot of too is, you know, there's a lot of common money stories that especially. And again, I think I'm hoping. I know, I tried with my kids, I think, not to repeat these stories, hopefully, and they're doing pretty well. So I think, I think we're okay. But I know for, let's say, baby boomers in particular, and maybe Gen X possibly, I forget which generation came after, I guess Gen X. But you might have heard things like money doesn't grow on trees or you got to work hard for every penny. In fact, there's a lovely, you know, there was the old Huey Lewis and the new song. You know, you work hard for the money. So hard for the money. You know, we hear these things. It comes through. Oh, and in fact, even I'm thinking about it, it's not even from. We hear money stories in our culture. It's not even just even in our family, but you'll hear story, you know, songs, TV shows, you know, all kinds of stuff. Now, I know that I think a lot of people who listen to this podcast or watch it on YouTube are also probably spiritual, Spiritual entrepreneurs. And so there's a lot of. There's some limiting beliefs around that too. You know, stories like spiritual people shouldn't care about money where it's not spiritual to make a lot of money. And that's why a lot of spiritual entrepreneurs struggle, frankly, because they, they want to be able to just give their services away and not be compensated enough, you know, or. Or it's selfish to want more when others have less. That. That goes along also with that spiritual thinking or even for older, you know, folks, I'm, I'm. I'm too old to start over financially. Get that one out right now. You're never too old to start over. Oh, my gosh, that's ridiculous. But anyway, I want to mention right now that I would encourage you to go back and whether you're watching this on YouTube, go back and check previous episodes,...
