Talking about money, making money, saving money and spending money, it can all feel like ‘a lot!’  There is a lot to say about our relationship with money, abundance and ‘success’ and how much we can be held back by negative money stories, past conditioning and attachments of our worth and success to how much we earn or can afford.
