Releasing Money Shame to Step Into Your Financial Power
Episode 99
In this episode, Money Coach, Lauren Cañafranca discusses why shame around money is so prevalent and how we can cultivate a healthy relationship with money to gain a sense of empowerment, freedom, and joy when it comes to our finances.
Lauren also shares her own personal story of how she got out of debt and released the shame around her finances, when she realized that there’s a better way than tracking every penny, the importance of cultivating a partnership with your money, and practical strategies for breaking the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck.
We also talk about
Strategies for getting out of a money shame spiral.
The difference between emotional and non-emotional money.
The concept of back-casting and how it’s helpful for those with variable income.
Tips for building self-compassion and self-forgiveness in relation to money.
“Financial literacy has so little to do with behavior change. Knowing better and doing better are not mutually exclusive. There’s this big chasm between and that’s where shame exists.”
More about Lauren Cañafranca
Lauren is an Accredited Financial Counsellor Canada who serves creatives with variable income to help them cultivate a relationship with money rooted in security gratitude and choice. She uses a judgement free space to assist clients in letting the shame of their money stories go and step into their financial power.
My focus is on the emotional parts of money and how we interact with it. The message I send to listeners is that they can aspire to improve their financial position without using shame on themselves or talking themselves into goals they aren’t actually connected to.
My origin story is born out of debt and shame. I avoided money until I couldn’t anymore and then rode the shame pendulum into compulsive control (or at least the illusion of that). What I learned was that this relationship was one that I needed to build healthy secure attachment with in a way that was sustainable. This experience is what allows me to stay in a place of non-judgement because I’ve seen and been a lot of places with money.
