11 Reasons WHY You Struggle with Money | Spiritual & Emotional Healing
You are tired of struggling with money and feeling like there is always a lack of money in your life. You are ready to live abundantly and to manifest all of your financial desires. The only way to overcome your current financial fears is to understand why you are struggling with money.
As a Spiritual Mentor, Author and Intuitive Guide my work is focused on the energetics of everything. The Divine Universe tells us that everything is energy and there is a limitless abundance of energy that is always available to us. If this is true then why don’t our manifestations come true and why do we find ourselves struggling with a fear of lack?
There is a lot of information in the world right now that tells us we need to work on our money mindset in order to bring abundance and financial prosperity into our lives. I know that it’s not just about your mindset, it’s actually about the energy you carry around the concept of money.
In this blog I am going to share 11 different reasons as to why you struggle with money. Before I jump into the list I want to share the importance of understanding your shadow self and how spiritual and emotional healing will support you in creating your dream life.
What is your shadow self?
Your shadow self is all of the fears, worries, doubts and pains that you carry as a human. The more often we ignore, avoid and deny these harsh energies they will end up sitting stagnant inside our energetic being. This energy influences the way we move through life because we build unsupportive patterns and behaviours that are triggered by our fears. We end up making decisions and taking action from a fear-based energy that leads us from a misaligned space.
How does emotional & spiritual healing help?
The more you understand your fears, worries, doubts and pains the easier it becomes for you to make decisions and take action from a conscious space. Rather than reacting based on the triggered response and repeating the same unsupportive pattern, through spiritual and emotional healing you feel safe in looking at the fear and understanding why it’s pressuring you to move forward in an unhealthy way.
Your shadow self tells you that you aren’t safe in this particular situation and you end up reacting from survival mode. When you are open to spiritual healing you are able to recognize that indeed you are safe, you simply feel uncomfortable in this current experience. Spiritual and emotional healing helps you to bridge the gap between your shadow self and your higher self, your inner spirit.
When you can learn to find harmony between shadow and light, you will be able to make decisions from an aligned space which leads you from survival mode into creation mode. Right now your energetic relationship with money is making you react from survival mode. Learning to heal this energetic relationship will allow you to follow your soul path from an abundant and aligned energy, rather than an energy of fear, worry and doubt.

Back to the blog - 11 Reason WHY You Struggle with Money
Let’s take a look at why you may struggle with money so you can better understand your shadow self in order to heal emotionally and spiritually on your journey.
#1 Money is evil.
You were taught from a young age that money is evil. The people who are rich are bad people and in order to be accepted in the world you must not be abundant financially. Good people struggle with money.
#2 Time = money
You were taught that money is limited just like time is limited. The hustle mentality comes from the belief that you have to always be working in order to make a decent amount of money. If you rest, then it means you are losing money.
#3 You don’t respect money.
Your relationship with money is embedded in scarcity. The moment you have money you spend it because you believe it won’t stick around.
#4 It’s hard to make money.
You grew up seeing your family struggle to make ends meet. You carry the belief that money is difficult to make and you must work hard in order to make ends meet.
#5 Money is uncertain like the future.
A fear of the unknown was instilled in you and just as you fear the future, you always believe that money is uncertain. The worry associated with fearing the unknown keeps you in a harsh energy when you think about money and the future.
#6 You can either be rich or follow your passions, not both.
You were taught that you can’t be happy and be financially stable. It’s one or the other. This is an extremely restrictive energy that pressures you to either not follow your passions or believe you will always struggle with money.
#7 You feel stressed when you think about money.
There is an overwhelming energy that fills your entire body anytime you have to think about money. When it’s tax season you stress out. When an enormous unexpected expense pops up you feel completely overwhelmed. When you think about the future and your current financial position you feel overwhelmed with doubt.
#8 You judge yourself around your past choices with money.
When you think of money you can’t help but judge yourself and decisions you made in the past. You blame yourself for your current financial position.
#9 You see someone else’s success with money and feel jealous.
When you see other people succeed financially and live a life you dream of jealousy overwhelms you and you feel angry for your current situation.
#10 You are overbearing and controlling with money.
You limit how much you spend based on fear of never having more than enough. You are always focused on all the ways money can come into your life and the ways you spend money. This controlling energy feels stressful because you are constantly calculating. This relationship with money is extremely resistant to the natural state of abundance which is flow.
#11 You believe stability comes from your environment.
You believe that you will feel stable financially once your environment reflects your desires. You believe that until you are financially stable your life will feel unstable, uncertain and unknown.
For all of these reasons the energy behind money is a low vibration. Your relationship with money comes down to the way you feel around money. If you are taking action, making decisions or thinking about money from a stressful, anxious and pressure-filled space then you will always struggle with money. Even when you have more money your relationship will feel the same as it does now.
Your relationship with money is how you will lead yourself to feeling abundant and stable. You most likely have a fear, worry, pain or doubt that is deeply embedded in your energetic relationship with money. These shadows can come from your own past experiences, generational trauma, conditioned behaviours, or outdated beliefs that were instilled in you by society.
Your struggles with money will only change when you choose to change your energetic relationship with money. Changing your energetic relationship with something is the emotional and spiritual healing that will lead you to soul alignment and living harmoniously.
These 11 reasons are meant to bring more clarity into your life so you can better understand where the disconnection with money is rooted within you.
