Hi Friends,

I trust you were inspired and challenged by last week’s post on the power of words. Today, I want to touch on something that we might have all faced, especially as women.

“There isn't enough"— The Hidden Weight of Scarcity Beliefs After Divorce

You might not say it out loud. But you feel it:

“I can’t earn without my partner.” “I’m bad with money.” “It’s never enough.”

These aren’t just passing thoughts. They show up like background noise, day in and day out. They live in the body like tension, like a tight chest, like a pit in your stomach. And if you’ve recently gone through a divorce—or you’re navigating life after years of caregiving, putting others first, or not being the one who “handled the finances”—these beliefs might feel more like truths than just thoughts.

Here’s what I invite you to try:

Place your hand on your heart.Say those thoughts out loud. Slowly.And listen—not with your mind, but with your body.

Do you feel heavy? Numb? Tight in your throat or jaw? Does a wave of fear or hopelessness rise up?

Good

Not because it feels good—but because this is awareness. This is the moment before change.

These beliefs—scarcity, helplessness, fear—aren’t just about money. They’re about identity. Worth. Safety.

Let me give you a real-life example.

A woman I spoke with recently saw a weekend retreat that spoke to her soul. A space to reconnect with herself, to rest, to feel. But as soon as she considered signing up, a wave of thoughts crashed over her:

“That’s a lot of money.”“What if I need that for groceries later?”“I can’t afford to do things just for me.”“I don’t earn enough on my own.”

She wasn’t actually out of money. But her beliefs had her living like she was. This is what scarcity sounds like in real time.

And here's the thing:With this mindset, you may keep playing small. You may keep waiting for something or someone else to shift. You may keep that faucet of opportunity tightly shut—because somewhere deep down, you believe it’s not for you.

But what if there was more? What if your thinking wasn’t wrong, but incomplete?

As a coach, I’m not here to shame you. I’ve lived this. I know these thoughts intimately. I know how sneaky and convincing they are. And I also know what’s possible when you start to gently—yet powerfully—challenge them.

So, if you’re in this place after divorce... wondering who you are now, what’s next, and if you’ll ever feel confident with money or decisions again...

This week's affirmation:

It is safe to trust myself with money.

I see you. And I’d love to help.

Because you do have options. You can learn. You are allowed to open the faucet again and let possibility pour in.

You don’t have to do it alone.
