Let’s talk about money but not just the dollars in your bank account. I’m talking about the unseen weight money can carry, the generational stories and silent rules passed down like family heirlooms.
The way you think about money didn’t start with you. It’s shaped by the experiences of those who came before us – our parents, grandparents, even further back. Maybe you grew up hearing things like:
“Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
“We’re not those kinds of people.”
“You have to work twice as hard to have half as much.”
These phrases may seem harmless, but over time, they plant roots – roots that shape how we think, earn, spend, save, and give.
The Generational Money Cleanse is about more than fixing our budget or making more money. It’s about untangling the money beliefs we’ve inherited and deciding which ones you want to carry forward – and which ones you’re ready to release.
Here’s a brief overview of the key themes we’ll be exploring:
The Hidden Money Stories Running Your Life
Breaking Generational Financial Curses
How to Spot and Heal Generational Money Trauma
Practical Ways to Rewrite Your Money Mindset
Setting Boundaries with Family Around Money
Shifting from Survival Mode to Building a Legacy
Some posts will be free and open to everyone a starting point for this conversation. But for those who want to go deeper – with guided practices, belief-shifting exercises, and reflection studies around the biblical meanings of abundance & money I’ve created exclusive content for paid subscribers.
If you’re ready to understand your relationship with money and the biblical principles around it this series is for you.
It’s interesting how often we see people whether online or in real life deciding what others can or can’t do, what is or isn’t possible for them. I’ve noticed it a lot, and every time, it makes me pause. There’s something unsettling about watching someone dismiss another person’s vision or dream simply because it doesn’t fit into their own understanding of what’s realistic or achievable.
What fascinates me even more is how quickly some people – even those who claim to be helping others in the name of God – start shaping someone else’s path according to their own beliefs. Instead of holding space for what could be, they start molding the person’s dream into something safer, smaller, or more familiar.
But here’s the thing: We don’t know what’s possible for someone else. We don’t know how God is going to move in their life, and it’s not our place to decide the outcome of their vision.
My role, as I see it – is to hold space, to listen, and to support, without projecting my own limitations & beliefs onto someone else’s future.
What happens when we start telling others what they can or can’t do, especially when we position ourselves as being guided by God? Are we truly supporting them, or are we unknowingly steering them toward our version of what feels right?
It makes me wonder 🤔 how often do we confuse our personal fears or doubts with divine guidance? How often do we mistake our limited understanding for God’s voice?
There’s a fine line between offering wisdom and imposing our own beliefs. And when we cross that line, it doesn’t just affect the person we’re advising – it reflects something deeper within us. It’s a moment to pause and ask: Am I helping this person align with God’s will for their life, or am I subtly shaping them to fit my idea of what their life should be?
I don’t have all the answers. But what I do know is this – visionaries, out-of-the-box thinkers, and those with bold dreams don’t need us to decide what’s possible for them. They need a space where their vision is met with curiosity, not doubt.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about what we think is possible. It’s about what God has planned – and that’s something none of us can fully see.
So maybe the real work isn’t in deciding what others can or can’t do. Maybe it’s in learning how to stand beside them, trusting that God’s vision for their life is far greater than anything we could ever imagine.
What would shift if we approached others’ dreams with that kind of openness?
Reclaim Your Calm: A Simple Breathing Practice to Reset Your Mind, Body, and Emotions
In our busy lives, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or tense. Taking just a few moments to focus on your breath can help restore your sense of peace and bring clarity to your mind. Here’s a simple yet effective breathing practice you can use anywhere, anytime:
Pause and Set the Intention: Before you start, take a moment to set the intention for this practice. What do you want to release? Stress? Tension? Discomfort? Clarifying this helps you connect to the practice with more awareness.
Soften Your Gaze: Allow your eyes to gently soften. This signals to your body that it’s time to shift from doing mode to being mode. If it helps, you can close your eyes.
Take a Deep Breath In Through Your Nose: Breathe deeply, filling your lungs with air. As you do, notice how your tummy expands—this helps activate the diaphragm, which encourages deeper, more calming breaths.
Absorb the Energy You Need: Imagine that as you breathe in, the air is filled with calm, peace, and healing energy. Let it absorb into your body, gently dissolving any stress, tension, or emotional energy that no longer serves you.
Exhale Through Your Mouth: Slowly exhale through your mouth, releasing all that you no longer need. Feel the tension melting away with each exhalation. Allow the breath to carry any negativity or discomfort out of your body.
Repeat 3-5 Times: Continue for 3-5 full breaths. You may notice that with each cycle, you feel lighter, more present, and clearer.
Why This Works
Breathing is one of the simplest yet most powerful tools we have to regulate ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally. When we consciously breathe, we activate the parasympathetic nervous system (often referred to as the “rest and digest” system), which is responsible for calming our body and mind. This helps to reduce stress hormones like cortisol and brings us into a state of relaxation and balance.
Physically, deep breathing helps to reduce muscle tension and lowers heart rate, promoting relaxation throughout the body.
Mentally, it clears your mind, improving focus and helping to break the cycle of racing thoughts or mental overload.
Emotionally, it helps us release negative emotions like anxiety or frustration, allowing space for more positive, calm feelings to emerge.
Integrating the Practice
You can use this breathing practice in any situation where you need to regain focus or calm:
Before a meeting or difficult conversation
When feeling overwhelmed or anxious
After a stressful event to restore balance
Before meditation or prayer to center yourself
Remember, you don’t have to wait for a perfect moment to practice. Just take a few minutes throughout the day to reconnect with your breath, release what’s not serving you, and reset your energy.

Separating God from People: Healing, Trust, and Finding Your Way Back
I’ve spent the last 10 years helping people heal their relationship with God – people who were ready to walk away, who felt abandoned, betrayed, and like everything they once believed in was falling apart. I’ve seen firsthand how deep religious trauma runs, how people’s actions and broken systems can distort the way we see God. And honestly, it’s wild. The things I’ve witnessed, the stories I’ve heard, the pain I’ve walked people through – it all makes one thing crystal clear:
God is not the problem. People are.
No matter what you’ve been through, it’s so important to separate God from the actions of humans, systems, and communities. God is not the pastor who shamed you. He’s not the church that manipulated you. He’s not the people who judged, excluded, or harmed you. But if we don’t realize that, we end up holding God accountable for things He never did. And that disconnect is exactly what the enemy wants.
The Enemy’s Real Agenda
Let’s be real – Satan’s main goal is to separate you from God. Period. Because when you turn away from God, you turn away from His blessings, His favor, and His protection. And that separation? It’s an open door. Once you’re disconnected from God, the enemy can creep into your life, your family, and your future, bringing confusion, doubt, and destruction.
The crazy part is, it doesn’t even take much. All the enemy has to do is plant the seed: “If God is so good, why did this happen to you?” And if that thought takes root, before you know it, you’re questioning everything, distancing yourself, and looking for answers in all the wrong places. That’s how idolatry sets in – putting our faith in people, money, success, or even ourselves instead of God. And the moment we do that, we start playing right into the enemy’s hands.
Rebuilding Trust in God
Healing your trust in God doesn’t mean ignoring what happened. It means recognizing that God never left. He never betrayed you. And He is still exactly who He said He is. When you root yourself in His Word and His promises, instead of the failures of people, you start to see Him differently. You realize He was there all along.
The enemy wants to keep you disconnected. God is calling you back. The choice is yours.
At the end of the day, you have a choice. You can stay stuck in the pain, letting what people did push you further from God. Or you can decide that no human, no system, no past experience is worth being separated from Him.
God has never stopped pursuing you. He’s never walked away. And He’s not afraid of your questions, your anger, or your doubts. He just wants you to bring them to Him.
So, what would it look like to let go of what’s been blocking you and give Him another chance? To actually get to know Him, not just what people told you about Him?
Because one thing I know for sure – when you seek Him for yourself, you’ll find a God who is loving, compassionate, faithful – and was never against you in the first place.

Cutting Through the Noise: Why I Prefer Straight Talk Over Fluff
I’ve always been a direct person. Maybe it’s because I have ADHD symptoms and value my working memory. Maybe it’s just because I don’t understand – or care for – the games people play.
You know the ones. The buttering up, the unnecessary small talk, the fake concern before getting to the real reason you called or messaged me. “Hey, how are you?” when you don’t actually care. “I was just thinking about you!” when you really just want something.
I don’t do that. The people in my life know – call me, and get to the point. You have about 2 – 5 minutes max before I get annoyed. If you can’t get to it by then, don’t call me. Don’t text me with a long-winded lead-up. Just tell me what you want.
Because honestly? Your extra words and long explanations feel like an attack on my working memory. And if I have to sift through unnecessary details to figure out the point, I’m not interested.
It’s not that I’m cold or don’t care. I actually care deeply. When I ask how you are, I genuinely want to know. Not because I need your whole life story, but because I want you to acknowledge how you’re feeling. If things aren’t great, I want to give you words of encouragement – because I mean it.
But when people ask how I’m doing, I can tell most don’t actually want the truth. If I say “not great,” I see the shift in their energy. They weren’t prepared for an honest answer. So why even ask?
I’ve had people in my life who don’t appreciate my directness. They want the fluff, the niceties, the extra effort to make them feel comfortable. But I’m not about that. If I call, it’s because I have a reason. I respect your time, energy, and effort. I assume you’d appreciate the same.
The people I get along with best operate the same way. We don’t waste time. We talk when we need to. We don’t fill conversations with unnecessary fluff just to stroke egos.
And that’s what I don’t understand – why do we, as humans, play these games? Why waste time, energy, and effort on things that don’t matter? Is any of this actually serving us? Or is it just social conditioning, forcing us into a cycle of insincere interactions?
Maybe it’s just me. Maybe it’s the ADHD. Or maybe I’m just a real person who likes to keep it real. Either way, I’m not changing this aspect of me. So, if you ever need something from me – skip the fluff. Get to the point.

Jasmine
