Happy Monday!
My thoughts have returned and I’m calling out the 7-year-old that’s sabotaging you. But you know we’ve got something to do first — Grab your notebook and spend the next 20 minutes laying the groundwork for having your best week ever.
🦋 Following the "Best Week Basics" is essential to having your best week ever. Use this time to really plan for the week ahead and think about what needs to happen for you to feel like you had a productive, fulfilling week.
🪞 Reflection: Reflect on last week. What went wrong? What went right? What can you celebrate? What can you try to do better this week?
✨ Intention: Set your intentions for this week. What needs to happen to ensure you have the absolute best week ever? Take a few minutes to do a brain dump and organize your to-do list if you feel overwhelmed.
📆 Time block: Review your calendar and make sure you have time blocked off to complete your most important and urgent tasks.
🔮 Every week we pull a tarot card to give us guidance for the week. Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.

Week of August 12, 2024: The Fool (Reversed)
The Fool is card 0 in the Tarot deck and a Major Arcana card.
The Fool signifies new beginnings, fresh starts, taking a leap of faith, and jumping right in. However, when The Fool is reversed, it brings out its negative qualities and warns to proceed with caution!
Make sure to be leery of anything that sounds “too good to be true!”
You may be presented with a new opportunity or situation. If this resonates, then The Fool (reversed) is warning you to think before you act. This is not the time to make hasty decisions.
Instead, make sure to think about the pros and cons. Beware of any negative consequences that might cause you trouble. Now is not the time to be impulsive or reckless. Make sure to stay alert of what is going on around you. This could also be a warning that you are taking too many risks.
Another meaning of The Fool (reversed) is a call to re-evaluate your intentions, motivations, and your inner guidance. You may be holding back due to the opinions of others or for fear of failure. You may also be fearing the unknown or feel like you might be in over your head. You might have a new idea or a new opportunity that you aren’t ready to share. If this resonates with you, then take comfort in knowing that it’s okay to trust yourself. When the time is right, you will be ready to step forward.
Simply, The Fool (reversed) can show that you have been living in the moment and not planning for the future. If this resonates with you, then make sure to find a balance. It is great to enjoy life and live in the moment. Just make sure that you are also prepared for anything else that may happen in the future.
🌙 The Moon will continue in its waxing phase moving from a waxing crescent into a gibbous phase. This is still a great time to grow any intentions. This is also a time of refinement and preparation.

Did you know your subconscious mind is fully formed by the age of seven?
That's right – the core beliefs that shape your thoughts and actions today were imprinted in your early childhood.
Essentially, you're a seven-year-old in an adult body trying to make adult decisions – it’s no wonder we feel like we have no idea what we’re doing most days!
Given our deep dive into money last month, let's explore how your subconscious might be influencing your financial reality. Could it be holding you back from achieving your full wealth potential? Most likely.
I'll share a personal example.
Growing up, money was a constant topic, often because there wasn’t enough of it and my single mom was always stressed because of it.
Even when we did have it, it vanished quickly – like the time my mom received a $1,000 CD from my grandfather (which was meant to be a long-term investment), but in reality, it was immediately spent on a whirlwind Walmart shopping spree.
This created two core money beliefs for me: "There's never enough money" and “If you have money you have to spend it."
These limiting beliefs sabotaged my financial success for years. No matter how hard I worked, money seemed elusive, and any extra cash was quickly burned through.
It wasn't until I delved into the world of manifestation that I realized my subconscious was working against me.
What about you? What deep-seated beliefs about money might be shaping your financial reality?
It's okay if you've never considered this before – it’s not like this is something we’re taught or even find people talking openly about.
This week, I just want to invite you to explore the possibility that your inner child could be holding you back. Let's start uncovering those limiting beliefs so we can rewrite the story.
To begin, ask yourself:
What did you hear about money growing up?
How did your family handle money?
What are your core beliefs about money today?
How do these beliefs influence your financial decisions?
What would you like to change about your beliefs around money?
Next week, we'll dive deeper into transforming these beliefs. For now, simply explore your thoughts and feelings – if you feel comfortable sharing, I’d love to know what you uncover!
