Feeling Stressed About Money?

If money's been stressing you out lately, this message is for you.

Look, you’re not imagining it. Prices are up, expenses feel heavier, and it can feel like you’re doing everything you can and still not getting ahead.

If that’s where you're at now, I want you to hear this first. There’s nothing wrong with you. And this moment isn’t permanent, even if it feels that way right now.

Something that may serve you right now is this... Money's a tool for impact. It was never meant to define you nor to determine your worth.

Money isn’t here to make you feel whole or validated. It isn’t meant to make you feel good enough.

It doesn’t complete you, nor does it decide who you are. It simply supports how you live and how you give.

When money gets tight, it’s easy to internalize it. To think it says something about your value or future.

It doesn’t.

It reflects a season, not a sentence.

Seeing money as a tool can be especially powerful during challenging times. Tools aren’t judged when they’re temporarily limited. They’re adjusted, sharpened, and used differently until conditions change.

And conditions do change.

This season won’t last forever. Expansion has a way of following contraction.

Clarity often comes after pressure. And even when things feel constrained financially, your vision, creativity, and capacity aren’t on hold.

When things improve, and they will, having more opens up more possibilities—for your family, your goals, and what matters most to you.

Money works best when it supports your life, not when it’s asked to carry the weight of your worth.

And even now, in a tougher season, you’re still allowed to think bigger, hope for more, and trust that this isn’t the end of the story.

You’re not behind.

You’re not broken.

And you’re not alone in this.
