Why do so many of us struggle with saving, spending or even logging into our banking app? The truth is that our relationship with money is a lifelong journey: it often begins long before we open our first account. Here are some examples of money personalities that can affect our relationship with money:
1. The avoider: You'd rather do anything than check your account balance.
Insight: Avoidance is often a form of self-protection when money feels overwhelming.
2. The over-giver: Behavior: You prioritize the needs of others, even at the cost of your own.
Insight: "Many women have been conditioned to feel greedy for having needs," Chapman notes.
3. The control-seeker: Behavior: You obsess over budgets or deny yourself joy.
Insight: "This often stems from past financial instability or a deep fear of scarcity."
4. The over-spender: Behavior: You soothe discomfort or seek validation through shopping.
Insight: This pattern may be tied to unresolved trauma, low dopamine states, or a need for control.
Food for thought: Many of us cycle through more than one of these patterns, especially during times of stress or major life transitions.
What to do about it:
So, what can you do about it?
You don’t need to fix yourself. You need to get curious.
Step 1: “Name the shame to tame the shame”
Name the belief. Be honest with yourself. For example, “I’m not good with money.”
Explore its origins. Where did this belief come from? Was it learned from family? Shaped by cultural expectations? Reinforced by past experiences?
Take a step back. Remember, our behavior is a response to our environment, not a character flaw. “We say ‘name the shame to tame the shame,’” Chapman explains. “And then ask: whose shame is this? Often, it doesn’t belong to you.”
Step 2: Take a moment to check in with your nervous system
Once you’ve identified these patterns, it’s time to support your nervous system. This might look like:
Taking slow, deep breaths
Grounding in nature
Practicing self-compassion (be as kind to yourself as you would to a friend)
Opening up to someone you trust
Reaching out to an advisor for professional guidance
“Financial literacy becomes accessible when your nervous system feels safe. Otherwise, the tools just bounce off.”
Step 3: Embrace the journey
Remember, this isn’t a one-time fix. Financial healing is a lifelong journey, especially since money stress often pops up during major life changes like:
Starting a family
Going through a divorce
Entering menopause
Transitioning to retirement
“We call it the refinement phase,” Chapman notes. “As your life evolves, so will your relationship with money. The goal isn’t perfection – it’s about continually recalibrating and growing.”
