“It’s OK for you…”
That phrase was on repeat in my head when I was deep in scarcity.
I’d scroll past coaches with six-figure months telling me the secret was to invest in one more membership, or that “if I just stopped chasing the cash, if I just found my message, the money would roll in.”
And sure, maybe that was OK for them; they weren’t thousands of pounds in debt, wondering how to cover groceries.
For me? I needed breathing space. And that came in the form of a part-time job at a local shop.
Everyone said I’d love it, and eventually, I did, but at first, my mindset was still trapped in survival:
“I have to work because we have to eat.”
The Hustle, The Home Ed, The Headspace I Didn’t Have.
In between shifts, home ed, and trying to keep my business alive, I started watching YouTubers teaching how to budget, something I’d never been good at. Slowly, I began to understand how to make it work for our family. Then something unexpected happened…
I spent a day in-person with friends and mentors who told me to just pause.
To stop chasing.
To breathe.
And for the first time in a long time… I did.
That’s when things started shifting. I used mantras and breathwork to clear stagnant energy. I fell in love with my work again — with the customers, the conversations, even the rhythm of my shifts.
The Shift from Survival to Alignment
And then, a major shift: I went deep into my Human Design.
I finally understood how I was energetically designed to attract and manage money.
Not from hustle.
Not from forcing.
But from alignment.
I know what you might be thinking
“It’s OK for you now.”
But here’s the thing, I didn’t manifest a mansion.
I manifested £1 here, £50 there…
A random delivery round with the kids turned into a monthly subscription payment.
Little signs. Big shifts.
I started to trust.
From Lack to Legacy
Now? I’ve quit that shop job.
We’re not rolling in cash (yet), but the difference is in my energy.
My mindset.
My relationship with money.
I no longer carry shame or guilt when I look at our bank account.
I feel powerful and peaceful when I plan for the month ahead.
And I know I’m creating a financial future built on freedom, not fear.
It wasn’t about making £10k overnight.
It was about feeling abundant again.
I could feel my nervous system calming.
I stopped obsessing.
I started trusting.
Want to Start Your Own Shift?
You don’t need a business coach, a six-figure month, or a miracle to feel abundant.
You just need to start with you.
Here are five small but mighty steps to get you started:
- 1. Pause + Breathe
Your nervous system holds your money story.
Before you dive into spreadsheets or spiral into stress, pause. Breathe. Remind yourself:
“I am safe. I am allowed to thrive.”
This is the beginning of all aligned money work.
- 2. Get Honest with Your Current Story
No shame. Just truth.
How do you really feel about money right now?
What old beliefs are running the show?
Awareness isn’t failure — it’s the first portal to power.
- 3. Anchor Into a Daily Ritual
Choose one aligned action per day:
- Say a mantra
- Track even the smallest income
- Celebrate what’s already working
- Open your bank account with curiosity, not fear
Ritual turns chaos into clarity.
- 4. Align with Your Energy (Human Design Style)
Are you chasing someone else’s version of abundance?
When you honour your unique design (e.g. Generator, Projector, Manifestor), you magnetise what’s meant for you — not just what’s trending.
- 5. Create a Vision Grounded in Feeling
What does abundance feel like to you? Spacious? Safe? Free?
Start there.
The clearer you are on how you want to feel, the easier it is for money to meet you there.
These steps are just the start.
The Aligned, Alive & Abundant money mindset guide (Inside the Real Raw & Alive community)takes you deeper, with rituals, journal prompts, Human Design tips, and micro shifts that meet you where you are.
Because you don’t need to earn more to feel abundant.
You just need to come home to your energy.
