Want to have a money date this weekend? ❌Stop treating money like your enemy! ❤️Start treating it like your lover. Curious. Attentive. Generous. Present. Because the moment you stop running from your money and embrace it, everything changes. This is not about budgets, shame, spreadsheets. (1/3)

Change begins with language. The words we use for ourselves, the questions we ask of others, they shape our worldview and our view of ourselves. Every day, I Know Why She Stayed works to change the language people use, so we can make a better, more understanding future.

Some women don't stay because they want to. They stay because they can't afford to leave. That's why Unmuted is raising funds for entrepreneurship scholarships and survivor support. Freedom shouldn't depend on a woman's bank account. #Unmuted

Self-care can help to build us up when our self-esteem has been damaged by abuse. One very proven method of self care is creative expression. Creative expression helps release negative emotions such as anger and fear, reduce stress while reminding you of your inner strength.

She didn't lose control of her money. It was taken from her. And now, every time she opens her banking app, her chest tightens. Every bill feels like a threat. Every financial decision feels impossible. That's not weakness. That's what financial trauma does to the nervous system. (1/4)

You don’t know anybody until you live with them, day in and day out. Don’t ask how a survivor didn’t know. Don’t wonder why they didn’t see it coming. Don’t doubt them because their abuser was nice to everyone else they met. Believe survivors.

Nearly all survivors experience financial abuse, leaving many trapped in dangerous situations with no safe way out. However, domestic abuse steals more than safety. It steals financial stability, dignity, and independence.

When you’re healing from abuse, it is often necessary to break some of the patterns your abuser left you with. This writing exercise can help you to reframe these negative ideas and see the more positive truths. Give it a try. Feel free to share, if you’re comfortable.
