The Wealth Paradox: Unlock What’s Holding You Back from More Money
How do you know if you’re unknowingly holding yourself back from financial success?
You can usually tell if you feel anxious, hesitant, or resistant when thinking about money, earning more, or setting clear financial goals.
The kind of financial success I’m talking about isn’t just about increasing your income—it’s about confronting the hidden fears and beliefs that might be stunting your growth.
If I rewind the clock and step into my money past, I can still feel the weight of those difficult money days—this hesitation, this resistance when it came to budgeting or tracking my money.
Honestly, it felt like trudging through mud, heavy, scary and unrelenting.
I didn’t want to deal with it. It felt impossible.
Not because I didn’t understand the numbers, but because facing my finances meant confronting something much deeper.
Feelings I didn’t want to feel.
I didn’t truly believe I deserved more money.
There was this shadow of shame that lingered from my past—choices I’d made, like running away from home.
Those moments had etched a story in my mind that abundance wasn’t meant for someone like me.
And let’s talk about guilt.
Oh, it was there too, stacking up quietly over time.
Then there was this other belief I had chained myself to: if I had more money, it would come at an even higher cost.
At that time, I was already working 50-hour weeks, exhausted and stretched thin. The idea of “more” felt suffocating rather than freeing.
But here’s the thing—a small, persistent part of me knew something else was possible.
That part whispered of magic. Of movement. Of an adventure toward abundance that wasn’t about grinding harder or chasing numbers, but about discovering what else life could offer.
That whisper kept me going, even as I faced the shame and guilt head-on.I did the hard work of untangling those beliefs, bit by bit.
And what I found on the other side was more than just financial freedom—it was alignment.
It became a partnership with something greater than myself, something I now call the Sage, from the I-Ching.
It’s a guide, a compass, and a reminder that abundance isn’t just about dollars; it’s about the magic of what’s possible when you align with truth itself.
Not just an idea of truth, but more like the truth of how things really work. When we work through stuckness, a new kind of freedom really comes.
And the best part?
That sense of adventure is still alive for me today.
When I approach an endeavor that is an up-level, whether that be higher income, buying a house, overcoming a health challenge, or breaking through in my relationship—it becomes more about the possibility, the magic, and the adventure of experiencing something that I never have before.
It’s an ongoing journey, one that continues to reveal new opportunities, new layers of growth, and new levels of abundance.
Do You Have FOMM?
If you’ve ever hesitated when faced with new financial opportunities or felt an inexplicable resistance to scaling your success, you’re not alone.
Many business owners grapple with what I call FOMM—Fear of More Money.
But unknowingly.
Most would say that of course, they want more money!
That’s why it’s a tricky covert belief.
You’ve probably heard of the fear of not having enough money—anxiety about bills, meeting obligations, or securing your future.
But what about the fear of having more?
FOMM shows up as questions like:
“Will more money bring more stress and responsibility?”
“Will I lose my freedom, fun, or identity if I succeed on a bigger scale?”
“What if people judge me for wanting more—or worse, if I lose it all?”
These fears are sneaky. They often hide beneath the surface, quietly steering your choices when you’re poised for a breakthrough.
Here’s the truth: FOMM isn’t just a roadblock—it’s a signal.
It’s pointing to deep-seated beliefs about your worth, leadership, and the life you’re creating.
But here’s the good news: You don’t have to let these fears hold you back!

A Simple Exercise to Shift FOMM
1. Set aside 15 minutes today to journal honestly about this question:
If I doubled my income this year, what’s the worst thing that could happen?
Start by getting radically honest and writing down your fears.
Naming our fears is the first step in taking their power away.
Be real with yourself.
Could it mean more responsibility?
Feeling judged by others?
Fear of losing connection with loved ones?
2. Now, take a deep breath and ask yourself:
Are these fears facts, or are they stories your mind is creating to keep you in your comfort zone?
3. Next, start rewriting the narrative.
Instead of “More money will take away my freedom,” try “More money can give me the freedom to live life on my terms.”
✨ “What if more money means more stress and responsibility?” can become "More money can allow me to hire support, delegate, and create ease in my life.”
✨ "What if people judge me for wanting more?” can transform into “My financial success can inspire others and show what’s possible.”
✨ “What if I lose it all or become someone I don’t recognize?” can open the door to “I can grow my wealth with intention and remain true to who I am.”
4. Take aligned action.
The Hero’s Journey with money isn’t about ignoring fear; it’s about partnering with it.
Fear isn’t your enemy—it’s your guide. It shows you where growth is necessary & possible.
And the antidote to fear is intention + action.
