So I tell you that just to say, don't take it like I'm going to fix my whole relationship with money in one day. Let's just take it bite by bite.
I think it's really important that if we were creating the equation for financial success, I would say the inner work comes first. Inner work is a lot of what we're talking about here. It's thinking about the words that describe your relationship with money. But something else that is really important is this idea of money story.

And a lot of people might have heard that before, but not quite understand the context. I talk about this in the book that by age seven, we've really developed our sort of viewpoint on money, our habits, our behaviors, our beliefs. And it's kind of scary to think about that because I don't remember a lot from my childhood, like 37 years old. But to think that that time period was that impactful.

So really going back and thinking about, okay, what was my childhood like around money? What did my parents talk about, not talk about? Were they fighting? Were they not? Were we having to go without? Was there excess? Like all of those messages and beliefs.

And if it helps you, just go back to your earliest memories around money and kind of explore those and see if there's any patterns between those memories and those messages and how you're interacting with money today.

Whenever you're looking at your bank account, right, or you're transferring money, or you're looking at your paycheck, or let's say that you're having a money discussion with your partner or your family members, I want you to become aware of what's happening in your body.
