WELCOME to the MONEY SECRETS BLOG

I’ve been obsessed with the concept of limiting beliefs since I was a kid.

I would observe how different people would react to the same situation. I was curious why some people seemed programmed to respond a certain way while others were not.

I didn’t know the concept of “limiting beliefs,” but I could recognize patterns in people’s reactions based on their life experiences.

It wasn’t until I started meditating that I understood my own limiting beliefs and started to…

I have a quick anecdote that will illustrate two different approaches to generational wealth.

These characters are based on my two friends, Jeff and Dirk, who grew up in the same area.

Dirk seems to have the world by its tail. He’s confident, intelligent, and comes from a very successful family. He hasn’t had to work for anything because it has always been easy.

Jeff, on the other hand…

If you’re anything like most people, Budgeting 101 was not a class that you took in school.

While many of us wish that we could have learned to budget at a much earlier age, it’s never too late to learn to budget. Unfortunately, the word budget often conjures up negative feelings.

When I mention budgeting to my clients, they pause and sit up straighter. I think that’s because it reminds us of being kids and getting in trouble…

Financial coaching may be beneficial whether you have $100,000 in assets or $100,000,000.

A financial coach is someone who can guide you with the technical tools and soft skills such as how to create an abundance mentality.

To truly be financially free, you need to understand both sides of the equation. Only then can you achieve happiness and have a good relationship with money.

Achieving financial success is about more than just knowing how to invest and…

Are you a skeptic when it comes to manifesting?

It seems that with manifesting, you’re either a believer or a non-believer—there’s no inbetween.

I’ve found that manifesting is an excellent tool for practical, actionable items. But, if you only manifest and don’t act or look at your own limiting beliefs, you probably won’t get what you want.

The key is to work on your subconscious and your conscious mind together, so you can have…

What does it mean to be rich?

Most people notice rich people because of their lavish lifestyles and spending habits.

Being rich is visible. You can see it.

Rich people often have expensive cars, luxurious vacations, and wear designer clothing.

To be rich typically means to focus on immediate satisfaction and gaining material possessions rather than creating lasting financial security.

But wealth isn’t about instant success; it’s about the long-term.

In this post I’m going to go deep on being rich vs being wealth…so you can decide which is right for you.

So keep reading on the blog!

Are you struggling to reach your most important financial goals despite your best efforts?

Or are you just not able to enjoy the wealth you’ve already built?

If so, you might be dealing with subconscious barriers known as money blocks. By understanding and removing money blocks, you’ll be able to unlock the abundance you yearn to experience.

And don’t worry, you’re not alone. In fact, if you worry about money, you have plenty of company.

According to a survey done by Bank Rate in 2025, 43% of respondents said that money “negatively affects their mental health…causing anxiety, stress, worrisome thoughts, loss of sleep, depression and other effects.”

That’s a lot of people lying awake at night worrying about money!

Budgeting has a bad rap! Why? Because, in many cases, budgeting feels so restrictive that people “fall off the wagon.”

But budgeting (even for your family) shouldn’t feel restrictive. Budgeting is about learning how to feel empowered when you spend.  I achieve this by setting aside money for the things that I really want instead of just impulse spending. When I budget for something that I want, it feels great when I buy it!

Growing up, my mom was always someone who couldn’t resist a sale.

But I started to notice that this can be a trap because…

When manifesting money, you can use certain words, phrases, or sayings to help re-program your thinking.

My favourite phrase for manifesting money is, “There is more than enough money for me and my family.” It makes me feel abundant and connects me to my family. (They’re who matter the most, after all!)

Just remember that manifesting alone isn’t enough to completely transform your life. You also have to take action.

Come up with a plan to help you achieve your goals and dreams, and then act upon that plan. As you move forward, you’ll gain new information that will help you…

My most important money mindset tip is to become aware of your limiting beliefs about money. 

While most people have run into a get-rich-quick strategy at some time or another, many wonder what the main steps to becoming rich actually are.

From my work as a wealth manager, I have experience helping others build and protect their wealth. I’ve also been on my own journey of building wealth and becoming rich. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.

So while this post is not a substitute for professional guidance, it will get you looking in the right direction.

Wealth manifestation is the practice of creating the financial life you desire by first shifting your mindset.

The 1/3 third rule of budgeting is a financial planning classic. Let’s go over this simple rule of money management in brief, so you can get started budgeting and saving!

The 1/3 rule of budgeting is a simple financial guideline that suggests allocating your after-tax income into three broad categories: home, living expenses, and saving and investments.

The ⅓ rule for budgeting will help you avoid overextending yourself, particularly when looking to purchase a new home or when finding a place to rent.

However, this rule doesn’t work for everyone…

If you want to attract more money into your life, there are five key steps you can take.

Money blocks usually develop when you are young and impressionable. They are things you learn and subconsciously take for granted. You believe them to be an absolute truth.
