So, I’ve been chatting with my friends over here at Beyond Blue and it seems we all have something in common right now: money worries.
Whether it’s stressors about finding enough cash for the basics or wishing we had enough money for a holiday, we all seem to be experiencing a greater amount of stress surrounding money than we have in the past. And it’s impacting our ability to show up fully for the things we love.
It’s not uncommon for us to experience shame and fear around expressing our financial challenges; it can be hard and somewhat taboo to openly discuss money matters. However, we believe this conversation is incredibly important and beneficial to have. Like all challenges, ‘a problem shared is a problem halved’, so let’s help each other out.
Of course, discussions about the economy and how to manage our money during inflation are a much larger (and frustrating!) conversation… but what we would really love to know is what your personal experience around money is.
- Are you feeling the pinch too?
- How is added financial pressure impacting your wellbeing?
- When was the last time things felt even slightly easier?
And if you have struggled with money in the past but come out the other side, what suggestions do you have for others who might still be finding their feet?
This is an opportunity to share openly and honestly about your experience in a judgement-free space. There are no wrong answers, and we encourage you to share all the things that you might be finding hard to express in your every day life.
Looking forward to your answers!
Abundant hugs from yours truly,
Sophie M.
💙
