I Have Money Blocks…And It's Time to Change That | Aligned & Abundant Ep. 52

What if the reason money isn’t flowing… isn’t strategy—but something deeper you’ve been avoiding?

✨ In this episode, I’m sharing a real-time realization: I still have money blocks—and I’m choosing to walk through it openly, not perfectly.

This Episode Is Different

This isn’t a “5 steps to fix your money mindset” episode.

This is:

• real awareness
• real patterns
• real-time growth

Because the truth is…

You can be aligned.
You can be spiritual.
You can believe in abundance.

…and still have blocks around money.

What I Share With You

• Creating something I loved… and hearing silence
• The moment it clicked at a psychic circle at Holistic Healing at Beck Wellness Center
• Why this isn’t about strategy—it’s deeper
• The money stories we inherit without realizing it
• Why awareness is the first real step to change

The Shift: Awareness

You can’t change what you’re not willing to see.

In this episode, I invite you to notice:

• How do you feel when money comes in?
• How do you react when money goes out?
• Where do you hesitate or question yourself?

Because your relationship with money isn’t just practical—it’s emotional, energetic, and learned.

What I’m Doing Right Now

I’m starting with one simple but powerful step:

Clearing stagnant energy.

Decluttering:

• my home
• my inbox
• my digital space
• my commitments

Because when you make space… things start to move.

Come On This Journey With Me

I’m not waiting until I’ve “figured it all out” to share this.

I’m letting you see it as it unfolds.

If something in you is like—
“this is me”
“I feel this”
“I know there’s something here for me too”

✨ DM me: “I’m in”

Let’s walk through this together.

Transcript

I’ve known for a while… but I wasn’t actively addressing the elephant in the room.

The big, “Hey, you know about me, but you’re pretending I don’t exist” energy that I’ve been gently carrying with me for years.

Do you have a block that you’re aware of—but have been ignoring and hoping it just goes away?

If so, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Aligned and Abundant.
If you’re new here—hey, I’m Christine. I’m an intuitive spiritual teacher, and I talk a lot about alignment, energy, and actually living your life in a way that feels good—not just looks good.

And today’s episode is deeply personal.

Because I’m not coming on here with a “here are the five steps, I fixed it, everything’s perfect” energy.

I’m more in the “ooh… there’s something here” energy.

And I want to share it with you. I want to take you on this journey with me—because I think this is the part people don’t always share…

What happens after the awareness comes in.

Speaking of awareness, I hosted a free workshop last Friday, April 17th, called “Where Did You Lose Yourself?”

Inside, I talked about how awareness is the first step to change.
You can’t change from a lack of awareness.

If you want the replay, just send me a DM on Instagram—my contact info is in the show notes.

So… many moons ago—I was born.
Well, not that many, but a lot.

I grew up in a household where I was often told, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
We shopped at thrift stores or budget department stores.

And like anyone else, my money stories were inherited from my family.

This is how it is—we believe what we see and what we’re taught to believe as fact.

I’ve been aware of this for some time.

I’ve tried a few things here and there to shift my views around money—and I do give myself credit for what I’ve accomplished.

I’ve gotten myself into large amounts of debt… then out… then back in again…
Around and around the carousel goes.

But lately, I’ve been feeling like it’s really time to face the music.

Let’s rewind.

Last year, I had just left my teaching career and was being led toward online workshops and mentors—just going with the flow.

I came across a woman named Lauren Dallas who was hosting a webinar on creating digital products using Canva and ChatGPT.

Three hours later—and with the power of rewind—I created something I was really proud of.

My first digital product:
“21 Days to Money Mindset Shift.”

And I loved it.

It felt aligned. Clean. True.

So I put it out there…

…and crickets.

No bites.

Now, I didn’t panic. It just felt like growth.
I thought, “Okay—maybe it’s not time.”

I’ve shared it a few times since… still no traction.

And to me—that has to mean something.

Fast forward to this past Friday.

I attended a psychic circle hosted by Gina Cannone and Kathleen Beck at Holistic Healing at Beck Wellness Center in Toms River.

I showed up as a vendor—but bonus—I got to submit a question.

And of course, as a business owner… my question was about money.

And I’m laughing because as I record this, it’s 4:44 PM Eastern time.

Yes—this is real-time life lessons.

Gina’s process is really unique.

Everyone writes a question, drops it in a basket, and she pulls them out one by one—reading the energy and connecting to spirit.

The last time I went, I asked: “Am I on the right path?”

The answer: yes… but you have issues around money.

Okay.

Now, four months later, I asked again: “How’s it going?”

Again—positive.

“Yes, you’re on the right path. You’re halfway there… but you have a major block.”

And I didn’t even have to say it.

Money.

So here we are.

I have the awareness.

Now the question is:
What am I going to do about it?

Because here’s the truth:

You can feel aligned.
You can be spiritual.
You can believe in abundance…

…and still have money blocks.

Both can exist at the same time.

And we don’t talk about that enough.

So Sunday morning, I decided to dive in.

Instead of just asking ChatGPT, I read articles, explored perspectives, and started putting together what felt right for me.

I had my laptop, my coffee, my journal—and I started noticing something:

I felt good.

For the first time, I had not just awareness… but drive.

Motivation.

A real willingness to look at this.

And then—I had a download.

“I want to talk about this on the podcast… and bring people with me.”

Because I don’t know the outcome yet—but I’m willing to explore it.

So here’s step one:

✨ Clear the stagnant energy

If you want to manifest anything—especially money—you need to make room for it.

It’s that simple.

How?

You declutter—physically and mentally—anything that no longer serves you.

What’s wild is… I had already started doing this.

Unsubscribing from emails. Cleaning out my inbox. Letting go of things that felt heavy.

And then—two weeks ago—my friend Shabana Knight, a decluttering expert, came to my home.

We decluttered for 10 hours.

And it felt incredible.

She held space. Didn’t push. Just gently asked:

“Do you want to keep this—yes or no?”

The next day?

I opened my inbox to 12 podcast guest requests.

The next morning—13.

That had never happened before.

And the only thing I could point to was this:

I made space.

So this week, that’s my focus.

Continuing to declutter.

Clothes. Shoes. Kitchen. Car. Wallet. Files. Drafts.

Everything.

Because your energy aligns before your reality catches up.

I’m releasing anything that doesn’t match who I’m becoming.

Because expansion requires space.

So I invite you:

Come along with me.

Declutter your space. Your mind. Your energy.

Let go of the “someday” items.
The “maybe I’ll use this” things.

Because you’re not getting rid of things…

You’re making space for what’s next.

Cancel what you don’t use.
Leave what no longer lights you up.
Spend those random gift cards sitting in your wallet.

Yes—even the $1.13 at Cheesecake Factory.

Because holding onto things… takes energy.

And we’re not doing that anymore.

We are stepping into expansion.

We are putting the car in drive.

We are moving forward.

And if this is resonating, I’d love to invite you to my next free workshop:

✨ Remember Who You Really Are
📅 Tuesday, April 28th at 3:00 PM EST

We’ll focus on reconnecting to joy, clarity, and aligned action.

…and you’re ready. ✨
