💸 Maria Mojo Mondays: Money Should Fund Your Freedom - Not Your Misery!

💛 Hey, Mindset Maverick!

Let’s talk about something most people whisper about but rarely face head-on:
work that drains your soul and the belief that “this is just how life is.”

It’s not.

Your job, your business, your income - they’re not supposed to feel like you are in a prison.
They’re supposed to support your life, not consume it.

But I get it … I REALLY do!
You’ve got bills.
Responsibilities.
People depending on you.
So you tell yourself, “I can’t just walk away.”

And I’m not saying you should - at least not today.

But I am saying this:
You don’t have to keep selling your peace of mind for a paycheck.

Because the moment you believe you can’t change your situation, you’ve handed your power AND your happiness to FEAR.

And what you believe, you will keep on perpetuating.

💥 Mojo Truth: Money Is Energy - and It Responds to Yours

Money isn’t evil. It isn’t hard. It isn’t the enemy.

It’s neutral energy that amplifies what you believe and how you feel.
If you believe making money requires struggle, sacrifice, or misery … it will.
If you believe money can flow through joy, purpose, and freedom … it will.

You can’t attract abundance from resentment.
You can’t magnetize success from burnout.
You can’t keep on looking at your bank account & feeling frustration.

The energy you work from matters.

✨ Coaching Tip #1: Rewrite Your Inner Money Story

Your thoughts about money are the script your life keeps performing.
So check your dialogue:

=> “I have to stay - I need the benefits.”
=> “There’s no way I could make that kind of money doing what I love.”
=> “How can I ever leave this high-paying job - I have a family to take care of.”
=> “It’s too late to start over.”

Sound familiar?
That’s fear talking, not truth.

And honestly … it’s BS!

Replace those thoughts with:

Say it. Feel it. Believe it - before the evidence shows up.

💡 Coaching Tip #2: Audit Your Energy at Work

Each day, ask yourself one question:

Start taking notes. You’ll notice patterns.
Then start small - spend 10% more time each week doing the work that excites you (or at minimum JOURNAL about the work that would excite you - write it as if it is happening NOW).

And don’t tell me that you don’t have time to at least write in a journal or day dream about what you actually desire. Make the time.

That’s how momentum builds - not by quitting overnight, but by choosing alignment, piece by piece.

⚡ Coaching Tip #3: Stop Waiting for the “How”

When I left corporate, I didn’t have a master plan.
No six-month cushion. No second job lined up.

Just a dream to have my own business.

And you know what else I had?
I had a belief - a belief that I could create something better, something that aligned with what lit me up and made my unique personality shine and thrive!

I had a passion and unwavering faith that the Universe rewards aligned action.
And I’ll never forget what my wife said when I shared my decision:

She was right.

The “how” revealed itself after I jumped.
It always does.

💬 Real Talk

I didn’t leave corporate because I hated work.
I left because I couldn’t stand the culture - it wasn’t aligned with who I was to the core.
I also left because I was done with the corporate BS- the politics, the crappy boss, the churn and burn with no regard for an employee’s wellbeing.

I wanted freedom.
I wanted purpose.
And I wanted to prove that joy and income don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

And let me tell you - they’re not.

💡 Your Challenge

This week, I want you to check in with your soul.
Where are you trading joy for “security”?
What would it look like to earn money and feel alive while doing it?

Write it down.
Visualize it.
Let that version of you start leading the way.

And if as you write you are saying “yeah right - like that will ever happen?!” SHUT THAT gremlin voice down and allow yourself to really dream with no judgment from the peanut gallery!!

⚡ Maria Mojo Boost

You weren’t born to survive - you were born to create.
To contribute. To thrive.
To wake up every day knowing your work matters - to you.

So let’s stop calling burnout normal.
Let’s stop worshipping “stability” when it costs our peace.
And let’s start building lives that feel like freedom.

Because money should fund your freedom - not your misery.
