525: Remove Money Blocks and Become Abundant | Shanna Stevens
LISTEN TO THE EPISODE
Episode Summary
We’re talking about money and abundance today, and this is such a powerful topic because the word “money” alone can bring up so much contraction, fear, shame, and emotion for people.
In this episode, I’m joined by Shanna Stevens, a holistic master life coach through The Adult Chair, for a vulnerable and transformational conversation about money blocks, receiving abundance, and the unconscious beliefs that can keep us stuck.
So many people are doing all the “right” things. They are visualizing, affirming, meditating, making vision boards, taking wealth consciousness courses, and trying to manifest abundance. But sometimes, no matter how much we consciously desire something, there is an unconscious belief underneath that is blocking us from receiving it.
Shanna shares that she had been doing all the things to call in more money and abundance, but instead of money flowing in, she was feeling scarcity, fear, embarrassment, and stress around paying bills, buying food, and finding income. During one of our coaching calls, she vulnerably raised her hand and asked for help, and we began listening for the patterns and keywords underneath what she was saying.
As we worked together, we traced her money block back to a childhood memory of being five years old and watching her mother cry as boxes of donated food and clothing were being dropped off for their family. As a child, Shanna took on the embarrassment she felt from her mother and unconsciously formed the belief that receiving abundance was embarrassing.
Once we found that taproot, we were able to work with her inner child, update the old belief, and help her see the truth: her family was actually receiving abundance. It may not have looked the way the ego thought it should, but support, food, clothing, and care were coming in.
After that shift, Shanna felt lighter, softer, more open, and more able to receive. Within days, money and opportunities began flowing in, including refunded fees, new clients, paid-in-full sessions, an invitation to present, and more ease in her body and energy.
Key Takeaways
The word “money” can bring up contraction, fear, shame, and triggers for many people
Abundance blocks are often connected to unconscious beliefs formed in childhood
Manifesting, affirmations, gratitude, and vision boards can be helpful, but they may not work if an opposite core belief is running underneath
Our unconscious beliefs often create the reality we are living in now
Triggers can reveal the hidden beliefs that are blocking what we want to create
Owning your current reality is the first step to transformation
Shanna’s money block was connected to embarrassment, worthiness, and receiving
As a child, Shanna took on her mother’s embarrassment around receiving donated food and clothing
The old belief that emerged was: “To receive abundance is embarrassing”
Inner child work helps us update old programs and release beliefs that are no longer true
Receiving abundance can include money, support, opportunities, love, friendship, care, and ease
When an old belief shifts, the body and energy field can feel lighter, softer, and more open
Money and opportunities can begin to flow more easily when the energetic block is removed
Abundance does not have to feel forced or heavy. It can feel easy, aligned, and natural
Money Blocks
Money blocks are often not about money itself. They are usually connected to deeper beliefs about worth, safety, receiving, shame, guilt, embarrassment, scarcity, or what we believe we are allowed to have.
In this episode, Shanna’s block was not that she had the wrong website, the wrong strategy, or the wrong affirmations. The deeper block was an unconscious belief that receiving abundance was embarrassing. Until that belief was found and updated, the energy around receiving felt heavy and blocked.
