My Money Healing Journey 💖💸

Your resident host and founder of Money Healing Club, Rachel Duncan here!

Before the Money Healing Club, I experienced my own money healing journey. Let me give you a glimpse of my story…

I'm a financial therapist now, but I'm also a woman who, like many other women, faced money challenges in my 20s. Money touched every part of my life, from self-worth, to retail therapy, to diminishing my value as a worker and a partner. 

Saving very little and earning even less was my norm… habits inherited from my family.

My parents taught me to work hard, but that investing and earning money was ugly and only for the rich.

But then came Alex, now my husband, who changed the game. He openly shared his finances and goals, revealing that earning is about crafting the life you desire. He gave himself permission to earn and spend according to his values, not what social pressures dictated.  A healthy relationship with money had never been laid out plainly to me before. Without worry. Without shame.🤯

A transformation began - from feeling powerless to feeling empowered. 💪🏻 I recovered an old part of myself from childhood that loved setting up businesses and tracking my money. I dove into money education, shielded my finances, and learned to make money work for me.🤑

During grad school for mental health counseling, I saw the need for merging financial therapy with emotional well-being. I got extra education in financial therapy and worked 1:1 with clients for a few years. 

After a few years, feeling dissatisfied with my ability to help people through 1:1 sessions alone when there is so much need for this work, Thea Wayne and I founded the Money Healing Club to reach a broader audience and create an amazingly supportive community. Very few people were discussing money and emotions publicly with compassion, and the Money Healing Club was born.🤗

Community is the missing piece of money work. It's win-win. Low-cost access for members, and a community that truly is greater than the sum of its parts.👯

I aspire for the Club to be a safe place you come to about money decisions, money feelings, and money questions. Your money worries you may have kept hidden for so long.😟

Be a part of our Club - a judgment-free zone for money chats, inquiries, and feelings. Let's transcend beyond mere numbers.💗
