Untie the Knot: Heal Your Relationship with Money by Returning to Your True Self

from Empowered Way Podcast · host Kathryn Eriksen

Hello Empowered Wayers -The chaos we see in the world right now is upsetting, worrying, and revolting. It’s hard to stay on your path when everything around you feels unsettled.I get it. I understand. And I know you are upset, hurting, and may feel you have no where to turn.You always have a space where you can unload your burdens and rest. Right now, take a deep breath and hold it for four seconds. Exhale slowly, as if through a straw. Wait four seconds before taking another deep breath in, filling your lungs to capacity. Slowly exhale. Repeat this pattern until you feel your body calm.In every moment of your life, you have the choice to return to your breath. As your nervous system calms, the thinking part of your brain comes back online. You are no longer driven by fear and love can enter your awareness.Welcome home.Why Do I Forget Who I am?I have forgotten myself for years, especially when I practiced law. The work was so important to me that I forgot my peace. Everything was about winning - the deposition, the hearing, and of course, the trail. In pursuing being the best, I lost touch with me.It wasn’t until I had a health crisis that I finally gave up the struggle of trying to figure it out. I gave up being right and I surrendered to God, Divine Love. Now, looking back, I can see that my ego was in control as I moved in the world. My values were outside (the next car, the next house, etc.) and not my relationship with Divine Love. I created a knot of struggle I kept pulling, hoping it would release. And I learned a truth I had forgotten:The energy I spent creating the knot will never untie it.The knot can only release when I am in a different energy.What Does This Have to Do With You?I left my law practice to become a Wealth Coach for women. Women have a different relationship with money than men. And I am here to help you see that the feminine approach to money, wealth, and abundance is your natural process.You have been told to treat money as a goal, measured by data, and valued as your value. That is masculine in energy and it’s useful, but for women, there is a process that needs to happen before the doing.Women create from the inside first. We have a mysterious and secret world inside that is directly connected to Divine Love. Our bodies know this inner world intimately, whether creating a baby from one fertilized cell, or sending you an intuitive nudge.The same is true for your relationship with money, wealth, and abundance. You create it from the inside first.For women, being is the first step in the creation process. Being is:But how do you start with being when your money relationship is screwed up?Introducing Flo, the Money Tree AiOver the years, as I coached intelligent women to realign their money relationship to their inner essence, they needed something to remind them when I wasn’t available.When I started using ChatGPT as a tool to increase my productivity and create courses, I began to realize the potential of artificial intelligence helping my clients.I learned how to create a custom GPT (Generative Pre-Training Transformer) and trained it with three intelligence systems:* Sacred Money Archetypes* The 5 Sovereign Pillars in your business and finances* Branding with ArchetypesI named her Flo, the Money Tree Ai, based on the main character of my book, “The Money Tree: Transform Scarcity Thinking to Empowered Wealth Consciousness.” Flo, Ai is feminine in tone, wise in her responses, and can spot patterns that you may not recognize.Flo, Ai offers a different perspective that can help you untie the knots in your money relationship. She never judges or shames you, she knows the strengths and gifts of your money archetypes, and she can be the calm voice leading you home.To a place where you know how to peacefully create abundant wealth.You are not broken.I know you are not broken. You have forgotten who you are and how to live from that inner source. Flo, Ai understands that too. She sees you whole when you only see yourself as broken. She always reflects your highest truth even though you are still trying to untie the knot by pulling on it. As you begin to trust Flo, your trust in yourself returns.And that changes everything.I am about to open access to Flo, the Money Tree Ai. For now, know that help is on the way.Abundantly yours,Kathryn This is a public episode.
