Rewire Your Money

24/02/2026

Does your money just seem to disappear?

Your brain interprets money differently depending on where its come from, where its kept and what it's labelled for. A £1,000 tax fund will feel different to a £1,000 from your paycheck.

Your brain will allocate money into artificial buckets that may not be where you want your money to go. Thats why if you don't create a seperate bucket for your holiday fund you'll have trouble saving for one because your brain has allocated it to general spending and you spent it.

Start allocating money to specific buckets and watch it start to grow.

What buckets are you going to create?

Do you feel like you have to choose between love and money?

Not consciously of course
But do you overgive, undercharge or want to flee rather than talk about money?

For the first few years I was married, I stayed away from conversations about money

When my husband would ask for my opinion about money I'd close the conversation down quickly

My pulse would race, my head would go blank and my stress levels would sky-rocket

The pattern got me out of making decisions and setting boundaries but it wasn't great for our relationship

Growing up in a family where money caused alot of stress, my nervous system had been programmed that money = danger (even if we were just talking about it)

It impacted my confidence massively. I couldn't ask for the money what I wanted. The money we had, didn't feel like it was mine so I couldn't spend it without feeling guilty and seeing my husband spent money on himself brought up feelings of resentment.

Learning how my nervous system was programmed and how I could experience love and money at the same time, changed everything

But don't take my word for it ...here's what one of my clients experienced

How much money are you quietly losing out on because you avoid your numbers?

Every year, UK small businesses lose billions of pounds through late payments, penalties, and poor cashflow management

The Federation of Small Businesses estimates that late payments alone cost small firms around £22 billion every year!

That’s before we even talk about:

• Late filing penalties
• Interest charges
• Rushed accountant fees
• Missed tax planning allowances
• And the cost of emotional financial decisions

And that’s definitely before we include:

The raised blood pressure
The waking up at 3am
The tight stomach cramps
The background anxiety that never disappears

Here’s the thing: late tax returns aren’t usually an admin problem.

They’re a psychological one.

Avoidance.
Anxiety.
Embarrassment.
Scarcity thinking.
Fear of seeing what you owe

When money feels threatening, your nervous system chooses short-term relief (put it off) over long-term gain (deal with it calmly)

But that relief is expensive.

Every delay costs you:

Money

Mental energy

Strategic clarity

Growth momentum

And over time, it chips away at your confidence as a business owner.

This isn’t about being “bad with numbers.”

It’s about your capacity to feel safe holding and managing wealth.

When your psychology shifts:

You open the email.

You look at the numbers.

You plan ahead.

You stop reacting and start leading.

And that money stays in your business instead of leaking out in stress and penalties.

So let me ask you:

How much money are you missing out on because dealing with it doesn’t feel safe?

If you’re ready to stop get rid of the anxiety stress and overwhelm and expand your wealth capacity

We need to talk about this!

🛑 1 million people didn't hit the HMRC deadline for their tax returns😲

Not because they're "lazy" or "bad"

But because money is emotional

Tax returns sit at the crossroads of:

😱 fear (“What if I owe?”)

🥵 shame (“I should be better at this by now”)

😩overwhelm (“I don’t even know where to start”)

and past financial experiences that didn’t feel safe

When those emotions pile up, avoidance is often how we cope, it's a survival strategy
Not a good one but a very human one

Most people who delay already know the penalties, stress, that constant low-level anxiety in the background that wakes us up in the middle of the night

But our brains are wired to prioritise short-term emotional relief over long-term logical decisions

So if you were one of the many people who missed the HMRC deadline, I want you to know that this isn’t failure, it’s feedback.

Try these steps to help you get your tax return in as soon as possible:

✔️ Give yourself the time, space and safety you need before you start
✔️ Break the task into small, non-threatening baby steps
✔️ Be kind to yourself and celebrate each step completed
✔️ Get support from someone you trust

Most of all remember you are NOT alone - there are ALOT of other people struggling along with you

And if you’ve ever struggled with financial avoidance, what helped you take the first step?

My parents made some really bad decisions about money in their 40's, that impacted them for the rest of their lives

My step-dad worked as a Management Accountant, earned a good salary and as a result we had a big house and garden. We were the first family in the street to have a microwave, a colour tv and a stereo system.

Trouble was he worked 6 days a week, leaving home before I woke up and coming home after I'd gone to bed. He rarely had time to eat so he survived on black coffee, ci******es and one meal a day

And then at 42 years old, he broke his ankle, slipping down a staircase at work

It was financial year-end and he needed to work, so he didn't get it plastered

And within a year he couldn't walk to the end of our street

6 months later he suffered a burnout and never worked again

I remember him taking out multiple credit cards (using the next one to pay of the previous one) trying to pay the bills....until our house was repossessed (which my mom is still paying for today at 83 years old)

They had no friends, no hobbies and little time for us kids

By 63 my step-dad was dead from a combination of diabetes, obesity and lung disease

I'm not sharing this because I'm looking for sympathy but because I hear similar stories from my clients all the time.

It's why I'm so passionate about breaking the generational trauma cycle around money

I know the mental, physical and emotional legacy my parents passed on to me

One that drove me into repeating the same pattern of debt, dysfunctional relationships and low self worth

If you've got a story (or several) about your parents and money

And you're feeling exhausted, deeply sad and lonely

I want you to know that your parents relationship with money doesn't have to be your future

How do you set your money goal for the year?

Do you:
1. Pick a number (the bigger the better)
2. Add a % onto last years target
3. Calculate your life-style needs
4. Or go off what you want to sell

Whichever method you use, doesn't really matter

But how you feel about that number DOES

If you're excited....great..go for it!

But if you're hoping and wishing or there's a touch of disbelief already, then your nervous system is letting you know there's a problem

Maybe there's a belief (or several), an emotion (or two) or a habit (or three) that if left unresolved will make you work REALLY hard and sabotage your profits for the year

How does that sound? Lots of hard work and no money 😲

I went into hiding on Dec 19th...

I dislike the social media noise over the Christmas and New Year break

All the gym memberships, the shiny objects you absolutely need to have
And the cleverly disguised selling

It's bad enough most of the year but I find that over the last 2 weeks
If I'm not careful my planning for the next year, goes off course

It's foundations aren't about what I would love to have (more peace and joy)
Who I want to become or reach
Or the contribution and relationships I want to make to the people around me

Instead my social comparison takes over
Other people's definition of success emerge in my mind
My greed gets fired up on seeing what others have
My jealous ignites at how much further ahead other people are
And my Inner Critic moves into high alert pushing me harder and faster

So this year I decided to disconnect and I'm so glad I did

I'm now back in my office, feeling refreshed, energised and optimistic

I hope you had time to breathe, relax and unwind
And if you didn't ....it's not too late to start

62% of people in a recent survey said their NY resolution was to improve their health 💪

But only 4% 😲 wanted to improve their financial situation, save more or spend less

That's CRAZY!

Why isn't it everyone's resolution?

Because when it comes to changing our health, we're inspired to "just do it"
We know why its important to change
And we're told the steps to take - join a gym, get a trainer, eat less
We're got a map of what to do

Yet when it comes to money we believe there's "never enough"
We know its important
But we don't know how to change - the steps seem complicated - do I invest first or pay down debt first?
There's no map!

So we focus on what feels easy rather than what's important

Imagine how different 2026 could be if you knew exactly the right steps to take to have more calm, confidence and clarity with money

Want to make more money in your business in 2026?

Yes?

Your decisions about money rely less on numbers and more on your emotional state when you look at them

If you're anxious when you look at your bank account, your nervous system is in fight or flight mode

You'll experience a racing heart, shallow breathing, brain fog, and lots of other stress-related symptoms

And because your nervous system is designed to keep you safe, you'll find yourself daydreaming, procrastinating, or being impulsive with your money

That's why you keep overspending, overgiving or overworking (without the results) - you're stressed

Tapping is a simple to learn but highly effective science-based stress management tool

That with just one session can significantly reduce your anxiety around money

Leaving you with a calmer body, a clearer mind and loads more confidence to make the money you deserve
