Money is practical. It pays for the physical experiences and support that help life work. Money is also emotional. It touches safety, identity, belonging, self-worth, desire, generosity, power, and the future we believe is possible.
This seven-session workshop with Rick Wilkes and Cathy Vartuli explores both sides of financial abundance:
- reducing the fear, shame, inherited rules, and traumatic stress that constrict our choices
- developing the capacity to notice, receive, hold, use, and enjoy resources with greater emotional freedom
You can follow the workshop in sequence or begin with the issue that most closely matches what you are experiencing now.

Choose the Guide That Fits
1. What Is Abundance? How to Feel More Than Your Bank Balance
Begin here if abundance has become a number you must reach before you can feel safe, successful, or alive. Explore enoughness, the worry channel, the hidden dangers of having more, and guidance that arrives one step at a time.
2. Why Success Can Feel Unsafe: Money Fear, Procrastination, and Self-Sabotage
Choose this when you know the next step yet cannot make yourself take it. The Guide reframes procrastination and self-sabotage as possible protection and helps distinguish fear from genuine guidance.
3. Money, Deserving, and Identity: Releasing Old Rules About Wealth
Use this Guide when wanting, earning, holding, spending, or enjoying money carries moral judgment. It explores deserving, family loyalty, identities around wealth, and the emotional rhythm of letting money arrive, remain, and leave by choice.
4. Family Money Beliefs: Stop Repeating—or Fighting—the Scarcity Rules You Inherited
Come here when you can hear family voices inside a financial decision—or when your spending, saving, or ambition feels organized in opposition to them. The Guide offers a third position: neither obedience nor rebellion, but authorship.
5. Stop Waiting to Feel Abundant: Self-Worth, Success, and One Ripe Next Step
This is for the moving finish line, the unfinished task carrying shame, or the project that feels too large to touch. It separates accountability from self-attack and helps identify one complete, emotionally ripe movement.
6. Can Money and Success Be Spiritual? Trusting Desire, Guidance, and Growth
Choose this when money, giving, desire, or success conflicts with spiritual identity. Explore personal guidance, generosity without compulsion, safe dreaming, comfort-zone growth, and what to do when a belief does not shift.
7. Financial Trauma: Calm the Primitive Brain When Money Feels Unsafe
Start here when a statement, bill, job change, business slowdown, or market event has put your body into alarm. The Guide helps separate facts from catastrophic forecasts, work with freeze, and recover enough clarity for one practical choice.
A Suggested Path Through the Workshop
The sessions build naturally, but emotional relevance matters more than chronology.
- Establish what abundance means in lived experience.
- Notice the protective fear beneath forced performance or delay.
- Examine deserving, wealth identities, and the ability to hold money.
- Separate present choices from inherited family rules.
- practice internal success and one ripe next step.
- integrate money, values, desire, and personal guidance.
- use trauma-aware grounding when financial alarm becomes intense.
If one title immediately activates emotion, begin there. Borrowing benefits—the relief and insight we can receive while tapping with someone else’s related experience—means you do not need an exact match for the material to be useful.

Emotional regulation can support clearer choices, but it is not a substitute for qualified financial, legal, tax, medical, or mental health guidance when you need it.
