Money Mindset: How Our Beliefs About Money Impact Our Lives

Welcome to Season 3 of the Divorced Christian Woman Podcast! This season we’re getting all up in your business (literally): the money business. And we’re kicking things off by asking: What’s your money mindset looking like after divorce? Is it cool, calm, and collected, or hiding in a closet stress-eating Oreos and ignoring the bill collectors?

I invited my friend and fellow coach Diana Swillinger to help us unpack the tangled web of beliefs we’ve inherited about money, and how to burn those unhelpful scripts to the ground so we can build a mindset that actually serves us.

🎯 Key Takeaways:

• Your money beliefs didn’t drop from heaven on a golden scroll. They were absorbed from your family, church, culture, and that one pastor who said poverty = holiness 
• You’re allowed to love money. Not in a “Scrooge McDuck swimming in gold coins” kind of way, but in a “money helps me take care of my life and generously support others” kind of way.
• Money is not evil. Abuse of power is. And guess what? You having resources = you having options = less abuse. Coincidence? I think not.
• Self-trust is everything. If you’ve been financially controlled, rebuilding trust in yourself is the first step. God wants you to believe in yourself, because guess who made you? 
• You are not the exception to God’s love. Generosity starts with you. Stop excluding yourself from the care you give to everyone else.
• You can be Christian AND want financial security. Shocker, I know.
