My Embarrassing Confession About Money

I have historically sucked at making money, but I now find myself engaged with a new kind of magic... thanks to our Heretic Reading Circle book of the month. Spoiler: The Magic is working!!

ATTENTION HERETICS:
Important info about our Heretic Reading Circle at the bottom of this post!

Books are more than just words on a page.

They create emotion and excitement.

They incite exploration and transformation.

They move us forward in areas of life hitherto unimagined.

Reading opens doors to possibility and invites us into new worlds.

When those transformations are shared with others, they become anchored in this world. They take root in our bodies and our lives.

Plus—

It’s super fun to connect with others about a book you love!

All of these reasons and so many more are why I’m starting the Heretic Reading Circle—

A transformational book club exploring books that expand sacred awareness and teach us to connect authentically with the magic all around us.

Our first book is Love Money, Money Loves You, and oh boy! has this been an adventure so far.

To be honest, I’m skeptical about books that are channeled. Not because I don’t believe in chanelling (I’ve done it myself, so I know it’s real), but because I don’t trust all the info that comes in from Otherworldly beings.

One of my teachers used to say, “Just because they’re on the other side doesn’t mean they’re grounded.”

Frankly, we could exchange the word grounded for just about anything.

Just because they’re on the other side doesn’t mean they’re ______________.

ACCURATE
HEALTHY
HELPFUL
SAFE
SANE

You get my drift.

Lots of folks who channel are awesome and many of them are doing great work, but honestly—some channeled messages just give me the willies, because the being(s) that are actually offering the information aren’t correct for me.

This book is different.

Love Money, Money Loves You kept showing up in my world… and I learned a long time ago that I have to follow the signs to get where I’m going.

I knew I had to check it out.

All I can say is…

Holy ****!

The gal who wrote it—Sarah McCrum—is literally channeling the energy of Money. And in spite of my doubts about some channeled information… everything in me is on board with this one. My spidey sense gives this book two very enthusiastic thumbs up.

I’ve tried on my own to connect with the energy of Money before—to varying degrees of success—but never before has the door opened before me the way it is now.

Before we dive deeper…

I just want to let you know that if you want to jump into the bookclub this month, it’s not too late.

You don’t have to finish the whole book to participate, you just have to be immersed in the energies of it so we can engage in magical discussions.

⚠️ If you’re already reading the book… be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post for important details about the upcoming Heretic Reading Circle.

If you’re not reading it yet, but you want to… you can grab a copy here.

Now onto the good stuff—

I want to share a little bit about my journey so far working with this book, because it’s only been a few weeks, and it’s been a wild ride!

Now, I want to preface this by saying that I’ve been on the journey and engaged in the experiment of making money doing what I love for a long time now, so as I stepped into many of the instructions, I already had a lot of the pieces in place to see results quickly.

Yet what I feel has made the biggest difference is that I have given my life over to this experiment.

So… because I know you’re all wondering—

Yes, I’ve actually made more money than usual since starting this book!

A lot more.

So far this January, I’ve made more than almost any month I’ve had in the past several years. (All except for one crazy month when I sold several sacred tours in a row.)

I’m gonna share a little secret, in spite of the fact that I find it pretty humiliating.

I have historically sucked at making money.

Like—terminally bad. So bad, you wouldn’t believe the actual numbers. (Less than $10k a year most years!!!)

Yes, that’s my real track record as an adult. In fact, the ONE year that actually made more than $20k in a year, I was like 22. How is this even possible? *sigh*

I don’t really like to talk about it because it’s embarrassing!

My husband and I joke that I have a 40-60 hour a week hobby writing epic books and empowering people to experience their magic.

Now, I could go into all the reasons for those income numbers—the learning curve of starting my own business… the laughably low salary of authors… the bad luck of my publisher closing during COVID and my travel business being on a 4-year hiatus…

But deep down I know—I’ve always known—something inside me has been blocking the flow of money through my life.

I couldn’t connect with the unique energetic signature of Money in a way that was authentic to me. And though I can easily See into invisible realms, I couldn’t figure out how Money was designed to work.

I understood the real-world mechanics of it—I’m awesome at budgeting, saving, and planning with money.

I knew how to vision and create my reality—delightful things and experiences come to me through a wide variety of channels.

Still, something was missing. The simple and profound ability to make… create… earn… win… receive… Money.

Sarah McCrum has deftly shown me exactly what was missing. A relationship—powerful and profound—with Money itself.

While I wish I could sum up the Beauty and Magic of this experience in just a few words … like all explanations of magic, any description will fall grotesquely short of describing the actual experience.

That’s because this work is about so much more than just making more money.

It’s about finding joy in everything you do. It’s about acknowledging the relationships occurring all around us. It’s about connecting with the true value of everything you are and everything you do. It’s about asking for what you want and following the guidance to get there.

Right now, something is happening inside me.

I don’t know where it will lead me, so I’m nervous to write about it, but I’m so excited to share this journey with other Heretics who are brave enough to embark on the adventure with me.

Since I started listening to Love Money, Money Loves You, I’ve felt more inspired, lighthearted, and easy-going than I’ve been in years.

(I highly recommend the audio book, which is read by the author herself and brings through the energy of the transmission beautifully.)

So… what are you waiting for? Scurry over and grab a copy now! Then come and tell me all about your experience with it at our very first Heretic Reading Circle at the end of the month.

Special thanks to all my paid subscribers. 💜✨

It means the world to me to finally have a regular income through my writing. I know this work is what I’m called to do, but I also dream of one day contributing to my family and the world financially. You are helping me make that dream a reality.

⬇️ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ⬇️

My Dear Heretics,

Throughout the book, you will hear often that you shouldn’t rush the process of this transformation. I want to urge you to heed those words. It’s not necessary that you finish the book or get to any certain part in order to participate with the Heretic Reading Circle.

What’s important is that you’re engaged with Love Money, Money Loves You and trying it on in your life. Allow yourself to experiment and explore without worrying about where you might be compared to others.

Do the exercises. Begin the work. And I’ll see you in the Circle.

NOW FOR SOME HOUSEKEEPING…

I made a BIG oopsie—I accidentally scheduled our first Heretic Reading Circle during my 3 year-old daughter’s Fairy Tale Ball!

Princess Elsa is coming to the ball and all of my daughter’s friends will be there. I don’t know if you realize how serious 3 year-old girls are about Elsa, but I honestly can’t face the river of tears that would flow if she couldn’t go.

So… I’m afraid I have to change the date of our first gathering.

My sincere apologies. I’m actually one of the organizers of the Fairy Tale Ball, so I really should have known better, but it didn’t make it into my calendar! (And I’m useless at keeping track of anything that’s not in my calendar.)🤷🏻‍♀️

Here’s the new date and time:

Heretic Reading Circle

Wednesday, January 29 @ 10am PST / 1pm EST / 7pm CET / 5am AEDT (+1 Day)

As you embrace the magic that’s possible for you, come share the epiphanies and explorations that this month’s magical book open up. Our amazing community of kindred souls are here to listen and connect at a deeper level. Can’t wait to see you there, Heretic!

Substack has a culture of avoiding affiliate links because we appreciate our subscribers so much that we aren’t trying to squeeze extra money out of them. BUT affiliate links don’t cost the buyer any extra money! They simple re-route a percentage away from big business.

I only recommend curated magical content that raises consciousness, connects hearts, and helps you train your magic… AND the links in this post are affiliate links. Buying from one of these links won’t cost you any extra money, but it will take approximately 1-4% from Amazon and Mr. Bezos and give it to me. 🥳

P.S. I really think more Substackers should be unapologetically doing this.
