Healing the Body and Mind Around Money with Emily June Wilcox

Money is a topic that can be uncomfortable in many settings, but especially in wellness spaces. Teachers, healers and those doing the work do it because they love and they want to ‘do no harm’, which can make it difficult to figure out how to appropriately determine how much to ask people to pay for the services you provide.Emily June Wilcox would like to disrupt those patterns and beliefs that might be holding you back or keeping you stuck financially. She blends energetics and business strategy, and she’s obsessed with helping heart-centered, powerhouse entrepreneurs build a life full of abundance and impact, all while (truly) enjoying the journey.Just like any pattern or belief we have, it’s stored in our subconscious, subtly directing us in ways we may not be aware of. Emily believes in working with people to discover these subconscious beliefs and work through them - moving them out of the mind and body, to reshape the way we think and act around money. Although Emily has been at this work for a little while, she started on a more conventional path - working in corporate America, trying to navigate it all between work and a growing family. Eventually she took a big leap, starting an Amazon agency with her husband Jeff. As she went through the roller coaster of emotions that comes with running your own business, she took notice of her own reactions to different situations around money. And one day, she got a ping from the universe, in a surprising way, that asked her to slow down and take some time off. That time off gave her lots of new ideas that drove her life and career forward in new ways. She decided to get into coaching and to center her work around helping others with money - even though she was nervous and uncertain, she listened to the nudges she was getting and took a leap of faith. Ever the practical and organized thinker, Emily started to see patterns around the way she and others reacted around money, and it reminder her a lot of the Enneagram system. She began to structure them into a framework that she now calls The Money Wounds. To test her theory she created a quiz to not only help people identify these patterns within themselves, but also to help her validate her thinking - and so the Money Wound Medicine quiz was born.And then eventually, the quiz led to a course. The Money Wounds Medicine course was meant, not only help you understand each of the money wounds and how they might show up in your life, but also how to heal them. And Emily is here for the healing. She doesn’t just want you to take the quiz to label your wounds and give yourself new identity around money. She’s since written a book that introduces these concepts in an easy to follow format. She doesn’t want you to listen to the audio book and just get some new nuggets of information in your brain. She wants you to use the journal prompts. She wants you to sit with the meditations. She wants her work make an impact. Even though most people don’t think about money and wellness as being compatible - Emily finds a soulful way to blend the two - and to ask some really simple, but thought provoking questions to help you figure out where your beliefs on money come from in the first place. And even though all of this work is focused on ‘money’ - like we talk about in this conversation, it’s never REALLY about the money. As Emily points out, money is something we are in constant relationship with. And relationships take on many dynamics and can bring up and bring out many facets of ourselves. Any relationship can be examined, reflected on and improved and shifted over time. There is so much packed into this episode. Take a listen and let me know, what’s your relationship to money?
