Financial PTSD
Mar’s Musing on Financial PTSD
I want to express my gratitude for your incredible engagement in our recent live sessions on money, financial freedom, and investing. It's been an amazing journey to connect with you all on these vital topics.
Today, I'd like to discuss something very close to my heart: "Financial PTSD".
While it may not be formally recognized as such, many people are grappling with it, especially in the wake of economic challenges such as inflation, recessions, and the aftermath of Covid. "Financial PTSD" manifests as constant anxiety and worry about money, which can keep you up at night. The statistics are startling, with countless individuals struggling to find peace amidst these financial concerns.
I firmly believe that we weren't born to toil nine-to-five, simply to cover our basic expenses and live in perpetual stress. This nagging worry about money and finances, the endless cycle of paying bills and fretting over the next paycheck, is not the life we should aspire to lead.
"Financial PTSD" can stem from both significant life events and ongoing, smaller stresses. It's crucial for us to recognize and understand this within ourselves. Often, these fears and anxieties are not solely our own; they may be inherited from our ancestors, arising from past traumas like war or famine. To move beyond this, we must confront our own money stories, release what no longer serves us, and plan for our financial futures.
Investing is a transformative step in this journey. Contrary to misconceptions, it doesn't require vast sums of money or expert knowledge. It's about shifting our mindset and building trust with our financial path. Once we've navigated these fears and uncertainties, we can strategically plan, knowing that we're not only living to survive but to thrive.
Financial freedom means different things to different people, but it's within reach for all of us. It's about breaking free from constant money worries, those sleepless nights, and the relentless paycheck-to-paycheck cycle. It's about crafting a secure financial future.
If this message resonates with you, if you're on the cusp of deciding to make this shift in your life, to escape the grip of "Financial PTSD" and secure your financial future, then our Female Investment Group is here to help. Our live sessions are starting this week, and we'll cover budgeting, debt management, emergency funds, goal-setting, all the way through your investment strategies and putting it into action.
This is an opportunity for a mindset shift, an energy shift, and a transformation in how you engage with your money. We've seen incredible results in previous group, and we're excited to guide more women toward financial freedom.
If this feels like a journey you want to embark on, please reach out. We have a limited number of spots available for this live course, and it might be the last one before we transition to an evergreen program. For those seeking more personalised assistance, we're also offering a 1 hour one-on-one coaching session.
Remember, it's never too late to start building your financial future. As the saying goes, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, but the second best time is today". Let's take this step together towards financial freedom and well-being.
I eagerly await your thoughts and feedback on money, finances, and investing.
Let's continue on this journey to empower ourselves as women and secure our financial futures.
