The Energetics of Wealth: Creating Money from Desire, Not Obligation

For most of my adulthood, I thought wealth was something you earned by being good.

Good at following rules.
Good at delaying pleasure.
Good at ignoring the tug of my heart if it didn’t seem “responsible.”

I remember many nights after my divorce when I would sit at the kitchen table, calculator in hand, trying to bend numbers into a feeling of safety. I was terrified and my mind buzzed with what-ifs. 

• What if I couldn’t pay the bills without a partner? 

• What if I failed in my business? 

• What if the wild, creative, soul-soaked life I secretly longed for was too risky to go after?

And yet… beneath all the fear, something else was alive.
A quiet, steady knowing that said, “There’s more for you.”

The whisper I sensed didn’t come from a spreadsheet. It came from desire.

When I finally stopped trying to strangle my life into compliance and instead began listening to that desire, something miraculous happened. The more I followed what lit me up, the more money seemed to follow me.

Desire is not the opposite of responsibility — it’s the root of sustainability.

Let me tell you what most of us never learn: real wealth flows when your energy leads, not your effort.

When you operate from obligation, you might produce results, but they’re brittle. They crack under pressure because obligation drains you. It asks you to push when your soul is begging you to pause.

But when you create from desire, you tap into something renewable. Desire is magnetic, and it pulls resources, opportunities, and support toward you. It fills you with energy that makes the “work” feel less like trudging and more like blooming.

This is the energetic shift that changed everything for me:

• Instead of asking, What’s the most practical thing to do next?
  I began asking, What would feel most alive?
  

• Instead of saying, I have to,
  I started saying, I get to.
  

• Instead of proving my worth through overwork,
  I built from worthiness -  an awareness of myself that doesn’t need proving at all.
  

And slowly, my external world started to match my internal one. Clients came in, my business grew, my finances stabilized and then flourished. And it happened not because I was hustling harder, but because I was aligned.

Try this: A mini practice to reset your wealth energy

1. Pause and notice: Where are you operating from obligation right now? What’s draining you?
   

2. Ask yourself: What do I deeply desire in this season of my life and work?
   

3. Choose one small step toward that desire, even if it feels impractical (Especially if it feels impractical!)
   

This is not about burning everything down (though sometimes it is). It’s learning to trust your own aliveness enough to see its value and follow it.

Because the truth I share with all of my clients is that money responds to energy. And nothing is more magnetic than a woman who is fully lit up from within.

Your invitation

If you’ve been holding your breath in your own life, waiting until it all makes sense on paper before you move… this is your sign to leap while your heart is still pounding. Start following the thread of desire and see where it leads. Open your heart to trust that real, soul-rooted Wealth will meet you there.
