I’ve been thinking lately about the invisible rules that shape our lives—especially around money.

The ones we never consciously agreed to… but somehow still find ourselves following.

Let me start with a moment from my own story.

I was born and raised in Uganda. And by many standards, my family was privileged. My father was a pastor. We had a Land Rover. We had food, education, and safety.

But right outside our door? Poverty was everywhere.

At 14, I was sent to an all-girls boarding school. In Senior One—yes, like Harry Potter—some of my classmates were wearing shoes for the first time. That memory stayed with me.

Years later, I had moved to the U.S., done therapy, read the books, and started my coaching journey. And still, I noticed something strange: I was unconsciously capping my income at around $3,800 a month—the average annual income back home.

Logically, it made no sense. But energetically? It felt real.

That was my cultural glass ceiling. I didn’t choose it. But my nervous system did.

Because receiving more felt like betrayal. Like I was breaking sacred rules I didn’t even know I’d inherited.

And here’s the thing: so many of us are living inside inherited limits around what’s possible. Not because we’re broken or lacking motivation, but because we’ve absorbed unspoken messages from our culture about what’s allowed.

That creates what I call the “field of nonpossibility.” It’s not that we don’t want more—it’s that we don’t even believe it’s available to us. And if it’s not possible, we don’t let ourselves desire it. We don’t ask. We don’t move toward it. We don’t allow.

And the cost is enormous.

We undercharge.
We overgive.
We play small to stay safe.
We stay invisible to feel “aligned.”
We quietly cap our receiving—and then wonder what’s wrong with us.

There’s nothing wrong with us.
We’ve just been conditioned.

But here’s the good news: we can break the rules we never agreed to. We can release the ceilings that were never ours to carry. And we can begin to reclaim our voice, our value, and our wealth—from the inside out.

That’s why I created a free guide and upcoming masterclass for women ready to shift from survival into true authorship. If you have already signed up; THANK YOU!

Download the free guide: Awaken the Wealth Worthy Woman Within You
This isn’t just another mindset tool. It’s a trauma-informed, soul-led guide designed to help you identify and begin releasing the invisible patterns that have shaped your money story.

Inside, I walk you through four essential inner shifts:

The Liberation Shift – Heal inherited stories and cultural patterns
The Identity Shift – Expand your self-concept and permission to receive
The Embodiment Shift – Feel safe being visible and confident
The Aligned Action Shift – Anchor your new identity through powerful steps

Join the free live masterclass: The Downside of Wealth
Why Your Nervous System Won’t Let You Be Rich (Yet)
Tuesday, May 13 at 1PM EST | Zoom

In this masterclass, we’ll go deeper into:

The three most common wealth blocks conscious women face
Why your nervous system—not just your mindset—is running the show
How guilt, loyalty, and unspoken cultural rules may be capping your income
What it actually takes to feel safe being seen, paid, and powerful

This session is designed to help you release shame, reclaim possibility, and step more fully into your next-level wealth identity.

Later that day at 5PM EST, I’m honored to be part of the Terri Talks Podcast panel for a special Mother’s Day conversation titled Wellness Leads to Wealth. We’ll be exploring the intersection of mental, physical, spiritual, and financial wellness. I’d love for you to join us for this rich and heart-centered dialogue.

I’ll leave you with this:

What cultural rules around money, visibility, or receiving are you still unconsciously following? Where might you be playing small out of loyalty, fear, or inherited survival?

Hit reply I love to read your response.

With warmth,
Helen

P.S.
The next episode of my podcast drops Monday, May 6. I’m in conversation with Abigail Teixeira, a trauma-informed coach, speaker, and powerful cycle-breaker. She shares her journey through addiction, awakening, and the deep healing that followed. It’s a powerful story of what happens when a woman decides to stop digging and start rising.
