An energy that repels wealth is control. And that's a mindfuck because so many of us have control issues around money — we think if we can control the amount coming in and the amount going out, it creates safety. But energetically, you're holding your hands closed with white knuckles. And if your hands are closed, you can't receive.


In this episode I'm talking about the illusion of control, why trying to control exactly where every dollar comes from is blocking your receiving, and the story of how my meticulously planned 10-year life plan (thank god) didn't work out. This is about opening your palms and letting go.


Key Takeaways:

  • Why control repels wealth (even though it feels like safety)
  • The white knuckle grip: if your hands are closed, you can't receive
  • Why I never put all my eggs in one basket (money can come from anywhere)
  • The illusion of control: you try to plan every detail and the cards never fall that way anyway
  • My story: the 10-year plan I made in high school that thank god didn't happen
  • What's on the other side of letting go is so much better than you could conceptualize
  • Your job is to position yourself to receive — not to control how it comes
