Choosing Yourself in Money (When You’ve Been Trained to Wait for Permission)
When women talk about money, we rarely start with the truth: most of us were trained to wait for someone to choose us—professionally, financially, romantically, spiritually. It shows up in subtle ways: undercharging, under-asking, over-giving, waiting for “a sign,” hoping someone finally sees what we bring.
And in that waiting, our wealth stays trapped inside a story that was never ours.

This week we're talking about Wealth & Resource Coherence. Not as something we earn by being pleasing, small, or chosen, but something that naturally coheres around a woman who initiates her own path.
If you want deeper support, my FREE ceremony will steady your field before you even touch the money work.
Why “Being Chosen” Shapes Your Money More Than You Think
Here’s the lie most of us absorbed:
You’ll be financially safe once someone chooses you.
Chosen for the job.
Chosen for the opportunity.
Chosen for the raise.
Chosen for partnership.
Chosen for stability.
Chosen for potential.
It’s all the same spell—one that keeps your money tied to someone else’s approval.
“Obedience doesn’t keep you safe. It just keeps you quiet.”
That line has followed me through every version of myself. Growing up in spiritual conditioning, obedience was the currency that bought safety. You stayed small and grateful and quiet because you believed that’s how life stayed stable.
But that pattern doesn’t dissolve when you leave the system. It follows you into your inbox, your pricing, your bank account, and your work.
If you want to see the roots of this conversation, you may love my article How to Break Pick-Me Conditioning and Choose Yourself Again, which lays the groundwork for this week’s theme.
The Moment I Realized I Was Still Waiting to Be Picked
Even after years of healing, I didn’t realize how deep the “wait to be chosen” spell still lived in me until the day I watched a job slip through my fingers — a job I wanted, a job I could have done in my sleep, a job I never actually applied for.
I told myself I wasn’t ready.
I told myself they’d reach out if they were interested.
I told myself the timing was off.
But underneath all that logic was a truth I didn’t want to touch:
I was waiting for someone to pick me.
When the position was offered to someone else — someone less qualified, someone less experienced, someone simply willing to choose herself — my whole body dropped. Not because she got it… but because I finally saw the pattern.
I wasn’t scared of the work.
I wasn’t scared of the responsibility.
I was scared of stepping forward without a permission slip.
And that’s when it hit me: my wealth wasn’t blocked by numbers — it was blocked by obedience.
Wealth isn’t math.
Wealth is coherence.
What Wealth Coherence Actually Looks Like
Coherence is when your energy, choices, and resources finally tell the same truth.
Not the truth you were handed.
The truth you live.
Here’s how that shift begins:
You stop waiting to be discovered. You initiate your own momentum - offers, applications, conversations, visibility, pricing.
You stop asking money to soothe a wound it didn't create. Money can support you, but it can't parent you.
You stop negotiating your worth to make others comfortable. Approval and abundance are not in a relationship.
You start using money the way witches use fire: to warm the home, not burn the self.

A Small Ritual to Shift the Field Today
If you've been undercharging or under-asking, try this:
The One-Sentence Wealth Spell
Stand at your kitchen counter.
Place one hand over your belly.
Say out loud:
"I choose me first, and my resources follow."
Then act on one tiny thing that honors that truth: send the email, raise the price, apply for the thing, buy the small joy.
Coherence begins with one decision aligned with your actual self, not your sacred self.
Money Isn’t the Test. Self-Trust Is
Here is the part most people skip over:
You can’t access real prosperity while still performing for approval.
Resource coherence only grows in women who author their own path—not wait to be invited onto someone else’s.
Money responds to clarity.
To autonomy.
To a woman who isn’t waiting for a verdict on her worth.
You don’t need to be chosen.
You need to choose.
The Woman You Become When You Stop Waiting
When a woman stops hoping someone discovers her, validates her, or rewards her obedience, a very different future becomes available:
She raises her prices with clean energy
She spends money in alignment instead of fear
She stops auditioning for stability
She becomes the initiator, not the applicant
She stops outsourcing her power to gatekeepers
Her money finally matches her truth
This is the heart of Wealth & Resource Coherence—your resources lining up with the version of you who leads, not waits.
If you want to see how this shows up in ritual, my post Turn Your Anger Into Art: Rituals for Grounded Power gives a beautiful example of embodied action meeting alignment.
A Simple Framework for Choosing Yourself in Money
You can walk this today:
Name the pattern: Where are you waiting to be chosen? Work, visibility, rates, relationship, timelines...be honest.
Choose yourself once: Not dramatically. Practically. One action that declares, "I go first in my field."
Let the nervous system catch up: This part matters more than the action. Give yourself time, breath, and gentleness as the old obedience contracts shake loose.
Repeat until it feels normal: Repetition makes coherence. Coherence makes wealth.
