Practice Notes
Reflections from the path—what I’m learning, unlearning, and witnessing in my work with women and sacred practice.
You Think You are Being Kind with Your Money
You think you're being kind with your money — but what if the real harm is happening to you?
Most of us have been taught to give generously, to put others first, to say yes even when it costs us. We tell ourselves it’s loving, it’s spiritual, it’s the “right” thing to do.
But from years of practicing yoga — and working with clients around money — I’ve learned this: true kindness starts with non-harming. And that has to begin with you.
In this post, I’m sharing how the foundational yogic principle of Ahimsa (non-harming) can shift your relationship with money in powerful, compassionate ways — and how to stop the cycle of guilt-based giving that leaves you burned out and broke.
If you're tired of financial decisions that feel out of alignment — this is for you.
Why Nervous System Healing Is at the Heart of My Money Work
For years, I believed being good with money meant knowing the right strategies. As a CPA, I had them all. But no spreadsheet could override the fear that lived in my body.
It wasn’t until I began healing the nervous system patterns driving my money behaviors — the avoidance, the anxiety, the overgiving — that real change became possible. This isn’t a story about getting out of debt. It’s a story about coming home to myself.
This is why nervous system healing is at the heart of my money work.
How is Get Right with Money Different From Other Programs?
If you’ve done the mindset work, learned the skills, and still feel stuck or overwhelmed with money, this piece explores why. Rather than offering another fix or framework to power through, it names what’s often missing in money work: safety, trust, and a regulated nervous system. This is a reflection on what makes Get Right with Money different.
What does Yoga Nidra have to do with money?
Many women have done the mindset work, learned the skills, and tried to “do money right” — and still feel stuck, avoidant, or reactive around their finances. This piece explores why that happens and what Yoga Nidra has to do with creating real, sustainable change in your relationship with money.
“I’m Just Not Good With Money.” How Maya Took Ownership of Her Finances and Her Future.
By the time a woman arrives at Get Right With Money, she’s usually already tried everything she was told would help — mindset work, budgeting systems, financial skills — and still feels anxious or avoidant around money. This story follows Maya, a composite of many women I’ve worked with, and explores how avoidance isn’t a personal failing but a nervous system strategy — and what becomes possible when safety, presence, and capacity come first.
When Money Needs More Than Skill Building
Money can be one of the most charged and tender areas of our lives — not because we’re bad at it, but because it carries history, fear, and meaning far beyond numbers. Many women have done everything they were told would make money feel easier: learned the skills, tracked the data, tried to be “responsible.” And yet, something still feels unresolved underneath.
This piece explores why money often needs more than skill building, and how safety, regulation, and self-trust are essential foundations for any lasting change in our relationship with money.
When “I Can’t Afford This” Isn’t Just About Money
When a woman says, “I don’t have the money for this,” it’s rarely just about the numbers. More often, it carries years of conditioning, fear, and learned protection in the body. This piece explores why that reflexive no shows up, what it’s really guarding, and how pausing with it — rather than pushing past it — can open the door to a more honest, grounded relationship with money.
