Have you ever pulled up your banking app and felt a jolt of adrenaline shoot through your body like you’re about to open a message from your ex?
Your heart skips. You hold your breath. You hope the numbers haven’t dipped into “panic mode” territory.
Or maybe the numbers are looking good. Promotion landed. Client signed. Pay bump secured. And still, there’s a whisper in the back of your mind: “How long will this last? What if it disappears tomorrow?”
Sound familiar?
Let’s get one thing straight.
Money isn’t just money.
It’s not just math. It’s not just budgets, spreadsheets, or cash envelopes labeled “groceries.”
It’s a mirror. A reflection. A direct, uncensored feedback loop from your subconscious mind.
Your money habits, fears, desires, and even your wins are all rooted in something deeper: the beliefs you carry and your relationship with security, power, love, and control.
That’s your Money Mirror.
And today, I want to invite you to actually look into it.
Not with guilt. Not with shame. But with curiosity. With power. With the same energy you’d bring to a plant medicine ceremony, or a deep conversation with your most trusted guide.
You may tell yourself that the numbers don’t mean anything, but your body tells a different story. Your interpretation is creating your reality.
They’re pointing to subconscious scripts your body has been reacting to all along, even when your mind insists everything is fine.
And when you learn how to listen, really listen, you unlock a level of sovereignty that changes everything.
The Outer Is a Reflection of the Inner
Let me share something I’ve learned through years of coaching, investing, and inner work:
Every number in your financial life is trying to teach you something.
Not to guilt you. Not to shame you. But to awaken you.
A client once came to me feeling stuck. Smart. Capable. Had already built something great. But he was stuck in a cycle:
Make a lot of money → freak out → spend too fast → feel like crap → grind again.
Sound familiar?
We sat down, not with a financial advisor, but with his nervous system.
Turns out, growing up, money was a point of chaos in his house. Big highs. Bigger crashes. Emotional rollercoaster every payday.
So even when he created abundance, his body was still bracing for the crash.
And guess what? It came.
Because the subconscious seeks familiarity, not freedom. Until you rewire the pattern.
Money was never the problem. The unhealed nervous system was.
That’s the Money Mirror.
The High Achiever’s Paradox
You might be the type who reads stoicism, hits your macros, biohacks your sleep, and does cold plunges on Sundays.
And yet…
Money still activates you.
Still tightens your chest. Still makes you either cling too hard or spend too fast. Still keeps you up at night wondering if you’re doing enough, making enough, investing enough, “secure” enough.
Let me say this clearly:
Financial mastery is not about having more.
It’s about holding more.
Not just in your bank account. But in your nervous system. In your energy field. In your identity.
If you’ve made six figures and still felt broke, this is why.
If you’ve made big money and lost it fast, this is why.
It’s not a tactic problem. It’s a capacity problem.
And capacity is built by doing the inner work most people avoid.
What’s YOUR Money Mirror Showing You?
Take a breath. Tune in. Get honest.
Your money doesn’t lie.
It tells the truth about:
- Your ability to receive
- Your relationship with enoughness
- Your hidden loyalties to struggle or chaos
- Your unconscious beliefs about what’s “too much”
So here’s a reflection practice. Grab a journal. Go deep.
1. What emotions come up when you check your bank account?
2. What messages about money did you inherit from your family, culture, religion, or society?
3. When did you first feel unsafe around money? What happened?
4. When have you felt most powerful with money? What created that feeling?
5. If money were a person, what kind of relationship would you have right now?
Sit with these. Let your body speak. Don’t rush for answers; let the truth reveal itself.
Because consciousness is the ultimate currency.
The Real Security You’ve Been Seeking
Here’s the kicker:
Most people think money brings security.
But most of the people I’ve worked with who have money still don’t feel secure.
Why?
Because true security isn’t in your savings.
It’s in your sovereignty.
It’s the ability to trust yourself no matter what. To know you can pivot, rebuild, create. To know you’re not at the mercy of your past, your parents, or your patterns.
That level of security only comes from doing the work:
- Nervous system healing
- Identity deconstruction
- Inner child reparenting
- Conscious integration of old money stories
And from there? You become the container for wealth.
Not just a recipient of cash, but a steward of energy, impact, and abundance.
You become the safe.
Story Time: The 6-Figure Freakout
Let me take you back.
I remember the first time I made over $100K in a single month.
The dopamine hit was real. Champagne cork pop-level excitement.
But within days… anxiety.
It felt unearned. Unsafe. Like I had tricked the system.
So what did I do?
Spent half of it. Fast.
Fancy dinner. New gear. A few too-generous gifts.
Gone.
I wasn’t spending for joy. I was spending to return to my comfort zone.
That’s when I realized I hadn’t done the inner work to receive and hold that level of wealth.
So I started the real work. And everything changed.
This Isn’t About Deprivation
Let me be clear.
This isn’t about guilt. Or shaming yourself into a monk-like lifestyle of counting pennies.
This is about alignment.
Your external reality should reflect your internal evolution.
But if you’re still operating from childhood fears, cultural programming, or unresolved emotional wounds, you’ll sabotage every financial breakthrough.
The Money Mirror helps you stop doing that.
One Question That Changes Everything
Let’s end with this:
“If I stopped trying to figure it all out and just listened… what deeper truth would my money reveal?”
You don’t need another budget.
You need an upgrade.
And that starts with listening. Slowing down. Getting to the Truth.
Want to Go Deeper?
If this hit you in the gut (or the wallet), then let’s take this work further.
On July 3rd at 1pm CDT, I’m hosting a live Financial Mastery Workshop.
It’s free. It’s real. It’s not just “money mindset.” It’s nervous system meets conscious wealth creation meets embodied integration.
You’ll walk away with:
- A clear map of your Money Mirror
- Tools to shift scarcity patterns for good
- A new blueprint for receiving, holding, and expanding wealth

Make space for this.
It could be the turning point you’ve been waiting for.
You were never meant to just make money.
You were meant to become someone who embodies wealth.
Not because of what’s in your bank account.
But because of who you are.
Let’s build that.
See you in the workshop,
-Mike
