I never thought I'd be here, sharing my most vulnerable story about losing everything. As an entrepreneur who has experienced both success and total financial collapse, I'm opening up about my journey through fear, shame, and, ultimately, self-discovery.
Growing up, I inherited many negative beliefs about money, like "People with money aren't nice." Unconsciously, I programmed myself to sabotage my own financial success, always giving away my power and resources to make other people happy.
After my divorce in 2020, I drove to Portugal in my van, feeling scared but hopeful for a fresh start. I had invested in crypto, which promised steady monthly returns until my coaching business became stable. But when the crypto market crashed—and after a few other bad decisions—I lost everything. I found myself alone, with zero savings, surviving on oranges for weeks. No security, just the fear and uncertainty of being in another country.
But now I see that this wasn’t a failure. It was one of my greatest lessons.
After hitting rock bottom, I discovered profound wisdom that changed everything. Here are eight things I learned after losing all my money—insights that helped me heal, release shame, and create a new relationship with wealth. Through sharing my journey, I hope these lessons can help you too.
1. Money isn't evil—it's energy. How you treat money reflects how you value yourself.
2. Self-worth unlocks wealth. I had to learn to love myself unconditionally, beyond my achievements.
3. Fear is real, but it doesn’t control you. You can learn to dance with fear instead of letting it paralyze you.
4. Time is your most precious resource. I stopped exchanging my valuable time for too little or no money.
5. Other people's opinions don’t define you. Your inner voice matters most.
6. Being poor is a trap. A scarcity mindset keeps you stuck and prevents creative problem-solving.
7. Dreams are your lifeline. Shifting focus from current struggles to future possibilities kept me going.
8. Resilience is your greatest wealth. I didn’t just survive—I rebuilt, stronger and wiser.
This journey has taught me that financial transformation begins in the mind. It’s about reprogramming deep-rooted beliefs, practicing self-love, and feeling gratitude for everything I still had—which was me. It’s about choosing courage and faith over fear.
Today, I want to help other women break free from their money stories and show that your past doesn’t determine your future.
If you’re struggling, feeling stuck, or scared about money—this video is for you. You are not alone, and you can change your money mindset.
