Financial Freedom??

I have never spoken out loud about my finances!! It's just not something my family ever did. We didn't talk about money and when we did, the conversation was stressful, anxiety provoking, and/or I was in some sort of trouble.

I never knew how much money my mom made. I never knew how much money we spent or even what things cost. That was how it was during those times (the late 20th century) 😂. But seriously, my grandparents grew up during the Depression and they NEVER talked about money so I'm not really sure how much my own mom knew about money but whatever she did know was not passed down to me. Through no fault of her own, it just wasn't something that was a thing. Especially for women!! Why on earth would we need to know anything about money when our husbands and fathers would just take care of that for us?!? Well, that's a bunch of shit!! And I'm done!

I decided that if I'm going to start a business where I try to make people feel confident in every aspect of their lives, I need to come from a place of experience. The only place in my life where I don't feel 100% confident the majority of the time is anytime someone starts talking about money! I freeze! I want to crawl in a while and cry myself to sleep! Literally!!

If I'm being honest, because I had no idea how money worked, I made a lot of mistakes with my money throughout the course of my life. And then when I finally realized, I was so far in debt I didn't have a clue how to get out.

So, that is where this story begins! I've finally decided to take charge and ask for help!! I've signed up for a program that was specifically designed for people like me!! I'm going to share my journey here, with you!!

I have been ashamed of my financial situation and unwilling to do something about it because that would mean TALKING about it!! But I'm here and I'm ready to make some changes!!! I hope I can inspire others to do the same!!
