Healing Through Expression: Transform Money Wounds.
✨ Healing Through Expression ✨
🇵🇷 Imagine growing up in a house where it was normal — encouraged, even — to share knowledge, talk openly about dinero, or name betrayals without fear. A house where your voice was seen as a healing instrument instead of a nuisance.
Well…that wasn’t my house.
When I learned something new and wanted to share it, it was often met with:
“Get out of here! Go find something to do. Or I’ll give you something to do.”
Usually, that something was an adult task (like folding fitted sheets or fixing the lawnmower) that nobody ever showed me how to do. 🤦♀️
💸 The Money Taboo
Money in our house was like Voldemort. You know — He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. There were so many mixed messages:
💰 “Money is evil.”
⛪ “Give 10% of your dinero to the church.”
🪙 “Help the poor — they’re more important than you.”
It was confusing. Many of us didn’t want to know anything about money. We just wanted to get our little paychecks, buy some gum, and call it a day. But instead, as teenagers, some of us were handing over our entire paychecks to our mothers because fathers were gone, and there were siblings to support. Somehow, it became our job to hold the familia together financially.
Later, many of us ended up carrying everyone — financially and emotionally — because deep down, we believed that’s what a “good son” or “good daughter” does. 😵💫
🤐 The Inner Split
As adults, we’re waking up and noticing the split inside our own minds.
We’ll have a brilliant idea and think:
“Wow! Let’s do this. It’ll help people. It’ll be amazing.”
And immediately, another voice cuts in:
“No way. Too expensive. Nobody will care. No one will like it.”
This is the generational echo — the programming handed down like an unwanted heirloom. We weren’t born like this. None of us were.
🩹 The Body Tells the Story
These hidden beliefs leave marks in every stage of life — even when we’re walking around saying, “I’m fine.” The body always tells the story first, way before our mouths open.
👶 Inner child — Feels it’s dangerous to speak up. Curiosity equals punishment. Love means sacrificing ourselves. The shoulders tighten, the throat closes.
🧑🎤 Inner teen — Learns to shut down creatively, afraid of ridicule or rejection. Muscles stiffen. Eyes dart around to scan for danger.
🧑💼 Young adult — May stay silent about dinero, undervalue talent, and confuse giving everything away with being a “good person.” The gut churns. The chest squeezes tight.
We might look calm on the outside, but inside, the body is screaming:
“No more! This isn’t who we truly are.”
🌿 Gratitude & Release: Honoring Our Ancestors
We honor our ancestors — our abuelos, abuelas, and all those who came before us. They survived things we can’t even imagine. They passed down ways of thinking and behaving that kept them safe in their time. But some of those patterns have become cages for us:
- 💸 silence around money
- 🤐 fear of speaking up
- 🫶 believing our worth is tied to how much we sacrifice
Our ancestors didn’t want us stuck in loops of suffering. They wanted us to thrive, feel free, and create a better path for those who come after us. When we heal, we don’t just do it for ourselves. We do it for them — and for the descendants waiting for a new story. 💃🇵🇷
🗺️ A New Way Forward
| Old Pattern | One Gentle New Step |
|---|---|
| 💰 “Money is evil.” | 🛠️ “Money is a tool I can learn to use with care.” |
| 🧠 “My ideas are worthless.” | ✍️ “It’s safe to write them down, even if I don’t share them yet.” |
| 🫶 “I have to sacrifice everything for family.” | 🪷 “I can support family AND take care of myself.” |
| 🗣️ “If I speak up, I’ll be punished.” | 🎤 “My voice matters, even if some people roll their eyes.” |
We’re not talking giant leaps. Just gentle pivots. Each new step loosens the grip of the past — for ourselves, our ancestors, and those who come next. 🥭🥥
😆 A Little Humor to End
Because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry (or worse, become a meme). Sometimes our inner kids want to yell:
“No more! Let me keep my paycheck and buy my own gum, gracias!” 🥣
And honestly…that might be the most financially inteligente idea we’ve ever had. 😉
✨ Gentle Call to Action ✨
Today, I taught, I spoke, I healed, and I helped others awaken. 💃🎤 My voice is sacred, and my wisdom is my gift. 🥭
What are you willing to do today?
Would you be willing to sit for just five minutes and do a brain dump about money or speaking your truth? No filter. No rules. Just see what wants to come out of hiding. ✍️
Because your voice deserves space. And your body deserves relief. 💃🇵🇷
