(01:11):

(01:32):
let go. Hello, Bringmancia family, and welcome back to the
Bringmancia Podcast. I am your host, Charlotte Adams, and today
in the Charlotte Corner, the message is safety is the

(01:52):
first step to expansion. You can't build dreams on a
foundation of fear. Before you hustle, before you push or strive,
make sure your inner world feels safe enough to receive
what you're trying to call in safety is successes, soil

(02:17):
tend to it first, all right, So today's podcast is
a sacred space where healing, truth and wholesome is gonna
come together. And the episode is for anyone who feels

(02:44):
stuck financially when the effort is there, the heart is
in it, but the bank account doesn't reflect it. So
we're moving forward today. The episode titled feeling stuff Financially

(03:04):
when the money doesn't match the effort. So when you're
doing everything right but it's still not enough, let's dive
deeper into this, and let's be real. This isn't about

(03:26):
budgeting tips or working harder. This is about the soul
depth frustration of pouring yourself out and still feeling like
you're behind. Maybe you've prayed, maybe you've fasted, maybe you've
taken the courses, showed up consistently, juggled, manifested division boards,

(03:53):
you know, having multiple jobs or side hustles, and yet
money still feels like a fight. Let me say this
out loud for you. It's not your fault, but it
is your invitation. What does financial stuckness really about? When

(04:20):
we feel stuck financially, it's often rooted in energetic and
emotional blocks, like unconscious guilt about surpassing your parents, or
community shame around receiving, especially if you were taught love
equal sacrifice, old agreements like I have to struggle to

(04:40):
be worthy, or money changes people, or even fear of
responsibility or visibility that comes with wealth. And here's the kicker.
Your nervous system will block abundance if it doesn't feel
safe receiving it. So what looks like not enough income

(05:04):
might actually be not enough internal safety. What can you
do right now? So here's what I want you to try.
This isn't about fixing, it's about releasing and receiving. The
first thing is write a letter to money, say what

(05:26):
you really feel. Let it be wrong, resentful, confused. Then
ask Money, what do you want me to know about
our relationship? To breathe safety into your body. Abundance can't

(05:46):
land in a body that's always in survival. Place your
hands on your heart and say it is safe to receive.
I no longer have to suffer to be seen. Three,
say this out loud. I forgive myself for all the

(06:14):
times I believe I had to earn my worth. I
am ready right now to let money come with ease
to me, not exhaustion. Beautiful wealth isn't a worth issue.

(06:44):
Let's be honest. We tie money to self worth far
too often. But you are not your paycheck. You are
not your debt. You are not your financial struggle. You
are worthy now, even in your lack, even in your transition,

(07:08):
even in your rebuilding. Financial stuckness isn't your punishment. It's
your portal. It's your door, it's your opportunity. It's where
you rewire the stories you were told. It's where you
get honest about what you're no longer available for. You

(07:34):
are not alone in this. You're not the only one
who's cried over declining balance. You're not the only one
who's juggled bills, prayed for provision and wondered if it
will ever get easier. And let me tell you it can,

(07:57):
maybe not overnight, and maybe not by pushing, but by
softening into a new belief. I am allowed to have
more than enough. I am allowed to thrive without guilt.

(08:23):
I am allowed to rise without waiting for permission. If
