Money – Wealth, Worth And A Radical New Relationship

With Tess | Being Moved

This course is a radical rethink of your relationship with money, how it relates to your sense of self-worth, and how to increase your net worth and find more financial freedom. Our relationship with money is a key part of how we move through the world and shapes every aspect of our lives, the opportunities we have, the care we can give ourselves, the lives we lead. Yet how many of us take the time to get conscious about how we see our relationship with our money and our finances? Money is like the water that we swim in we can’t always see the vast impact that it has on our lives. Yet we all have hidden stories and beliefs about our relationship with money, about what we expect from that relationship, and about what we are willing to receive. These beliefs play a massive part in how money shows up in our lives and in the actions that we do or don’t dare take around our finances. When we look at our part in that relationship –about how we engage with money, how we speak and think about it, about what we do or don’t ask and expect from it; when we consider what we do or don’t give to making money, about how much we do or don’t show up for that relationship- then we can come to see that our personal thinking and actions have a powerful part to play here too. Knowledge is power and we will dig deep for awareness so we see more clearly, make different choices, and forge new financial futures. Our self-worth and our net worth shouldn’t be linked- yet sometimes it is fair to say that the more secure in ourselves that we feel and the more we are willing to receive, then the more we get. We also acknowledge that global economics, inequities, and systemic forces have a huge part to play. We have to learn to work well with what we have within that existing economic system. In this course, we will take time to find financial clarity about our past and present. We will look at money and attachment theory and how money supports us in being more loving. We will find forgiveness for past money mistakes and misdemeanors done to us. We will cover debt and dark days; as well as look at our financial desires and how important they are in creating change. We will look at both radical receiving and coming into our warrior archetype and taking solid action in service of our financial dreams. Above all we will learn that we are in a relationship with money- and that when we can change our thinking and behaviors in that relationship then the way that money shows up for us mysteriously changes too! We will reach for wealth, worthiness, and a happy, healthy relationship with our financial future.

Tess has been supporting people through navigating their lives in wise ways for the last two decades. Her extensive money transformation began when she moved from the UK to the USA, leaving a fulfilling and meaningful career in managing arts organizations and not-for-profit fundraising, where she had successfully secured over £2,000,000 for projects that she was passionate about. She had previously worked as an Executive Producer in the arts for over 15 years and had partnered and mentored some of the UK’s most successful and highly acclaimed choreographers to produce multi-award-winning shows that toured widely internationally. Upon landing in the San Francisco Bay Area, she found herself living in one of the most expensive cities on earth with no established professional network, needing to massively increase her earning power, while still wanting to contribute to the world with meaningful work. She underwent money coaching and an internal process of exploring how we need to change our internal relationship with money, to meet and rise to new external demands. Tess expanded upon this coaching work with her deep thinking about how money is a key and core relationship in our lives- and one that we can shift towards finding more satisfaction in, by changing our behavior to get new results. She learned to go beyond just surviving in this challenging financial climate, into a place of fulfillment and thriving too. Tess continues to work for not-for-profits whose works she deeply believes in, to teach in inspiring places, to support others in delivering their soul work in the world; and to live in beautiful Coastal California.

She loves supporting people to embody their own experiences and move more mindfully through the world. She warmly invites you to join us on this course.

Lesson 1

Meeting Money - Considering Our Current Relationship And Seeing If It Serves Us

Our relationship with money is a key part of how we move through the world and shapes every aspect of our lives, the opportunities we have, the care we can give ourselves and others, and the lives we lead. We all have hidden stories and beliefs about our relationship with money, about what we expect from that relationship, and about what we are willing to receive. In this first session, we will look at our part in that relationship –about how we engage with money, how we speak and think about it, about what we do or don’t ask and expect from it. We can come to see that our thinking and actions have a powerful part to play in our money world-view; and that by challenging our own beliefs we can make way for a new and more fulfilling financial future.

Lesson 2

Coming To Financial Clarity - Clear Seeing As The Key To Change

We will explore how vital clarity is in changing our money habits and in acting wisely to build more wealth in our lives. We cannot change something if we can’t clearly see how it already is, and then choose to take action to do it differently. In this session, we consider our financial history and look at what we have earned over our lifetime, what our current expenditure is about our income, and how we feel about our current financial reality. We will notice how we approach our relationship with money and use this awareness as the basis for cultivating change.

Lesson 3

Self Reflection: Stories, Strategies And Seeing What It Is That We Really Want

In this session, we dive deeper into our current habits and attitudes towards money. We gently challenge the notion that more money will make “everything” OK- and look at how that belief might stop us from taking effective action in other areas of our lives. We look at what money realistically might and might not be able to do for us and explore a more empowered perspective on all of the different ways that we can go about getting our needs met.

Lesson 4

Dealing With Debt, Bad Decisions And Dark Days

In this session, we look at some of the harder aspects of money: debt, financial despair, and the times when we struggle to find a feasible way forward. We look at doing what we can, at tackling the highest interest debt first, and at the power of doing the one next thing in terms of financial course corrections. We also look at letting go of worry while we navigate tricky times.

Lesson 5

Finding Forgiveness And Releasing Resentment Around Money

Too many of us can feel that we have had to suffer to get or keep money in our lives sometimes it is true that our relationship with money has had harmful effects. In this session, we look at honoring our past financial hurts and finding forgiveness for some of the ways that harm has happened in our relationship with money. Relationships thrive on repair and so we look at rebuilding trust by forgiving ourselves, others, and money itself.

Lesson 6

Money And Attachment Theory

In this session, we look at how current thinking on attachment styles relates to our relationship with our finances. We explore some of the main attachment tendencies and look at how anxious-avoidant dynamics may play out in our relationship with money. We look to see if there are parallels between patterns in our intimate relationships and the way that we are with our finances. We trust that by bringing awareness to our habits we have a chance at changing.

Lesson 7

I Love Money And Money Loves Me

In this session, we look at how money and love might relate to each other. Love and money both impact every aspect of human existence- and yet most people receive very little formal education in how to do either of them skillfully. We will work with the premise that how we do one thing in our life might just give us important clues into how we do everything in our life! We explore how having more money might support us in being more loving.

Lesson 8

Radical Receiving

In this session, we look at giving and receiving and at how our self-concept will likely impact the amount of money that we are willing to let into our lives. Our net worth and our self-worth should not be linked- we are each precious just as we are; and yet we may need to expand our capacity to receive more, to make more money. We will do an exercise in feeling worth as we explore becoming more wealthy in all areas of our lives.

Lesson 9

Desire, Wanting And Wealth - Finding Wise Ways Forwards

In this session, we reclaim a healthy sense of desire and what it can teach us about what we value in our lives. We look at how much we are willing to want and the difference between healthy desire and the unskillful wanting that can come just to fill the “hole in the soul”. We will look at how desire shapes our decisions, can enhance our sense of aliveness, and deliver our dreams. We explore how we can come into the right relationship with our desires.

Lesson 10

The Warrior Way - Finding Power And Potency With Money

In our final session, we look at the roles that we play with money and how we can step into our power and potency in our relationship with money. We will explore the warrior archetype and the power of having a plan. We will let go of the places where we let ourselves be victimized in a relationship with money and we step into relating with money in a way that expresses our best selves and supports living a life that honors our unique gifts.
