At first I band-aided things together, but then I began a destructive rinse and repeat cycle of avoidance. There were multiple credit cards to juggle, 7 different bank accounts, and bills piling up by the day.
I froze.
There were so many moving pieces that I had no clue which one to tackle first. And worse, I was ashamed to reach out for help.
So I did nothing… until I could no longer keep living a lie that I had everything handled. I didn’t – not by a longshot. And I was now putting my whole family at risk.
I stacked all the family bills and mail in three piles on my dining room table. (If you have any similar piles you’ve been avoiding, you can imagine how scary collecting them all in one place can be.) They were taller than I was at the table.
My months of avoiding were now staring me in the face – and it felt as if they could crush me.
But it was in that moment that I chose to reclaim my life. Reclaim my health. Reclaim my wealth.
I stepped up to own my money – and take back control of my life!
That day I made a decision to turn things around. It took me a while to learn how, but I got support and I committed myself to it.
And I did it!
Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to showing others how to take control of their money and success too — how to make more, save more, and make friends with their money so they can finally get ahead, instead of always living with the frustration and shame that they “should” be better with money.
What I know from teaching thousands of people to free themselves from money paralysis is that it doesn’t have to be so hard. Today, you can learn what I learned in a fraction of the time, so you can get back to living the life you want instead of a life you feel trapped in.
