I LOVED this Louise! It's so fantastic when you find a way of doing things that just makes more sense, I love those moments! I also become quite overwhelmed when it comes to money, much to my partner's exasperation because he's brilliant with it and just 'gets it' so I might suggest the monopoly money next time! It didn't occur to me that part of my difficulty might communicating about something 'abstract' - I'm a very visual person so I think having a physical representation would help. I often find myself doing this in client work, using a lot of metaphor to illustrate complex and abstract concepts 😊
Thanks Amy, I'm so pleased you find it a helpful idea!
I'm always working with metaphors with clients (they'll all tell you I can stretch one far past where it would usually stop). It's one of those things I 'know' is helpful for other people, but I can forget to apply to myself.
Same here, it's always harder for yourself! I'd love to come to your workshop tomorrow but I'm not sure I'll be able to make it - if I can't then I'll definitely attend the next!
Thank you Catherine, it means so much to hear your comments🙏
I’m pretty sure it will run again, although I’m not sure when at the moment.
I will share here when I know, but if you’d like notifications on training and workshops I run you in the future, you can signup for them here: https://subscribepage.io/1F4ueR
Oh darn 😂 yeh I can't play with my partner she's too competitive and I always lose so if ends up being a very short game I just make a load of bad decisions in
Thanks Zoe, it means a lot to hear you find these posts helpful. One of the reasons I share these things is because it was reading about how other people navigate that helped me so much while I was figuring things out.
Not that I always get it right!
You’re so right, we don’t unlearn decades worth of internalisation overnight, it takes time and compassion to make the shifts and find the ways that work for us.

This sounds just like our marriage. My last meltdown was actually about trying to follow a spontaneous money situation. I love this idea! 🎲
Thank you, money can be so dysregulating, we'll definitely be doing it like this again!
Another amazing newsletter! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, insights and perspectives with us! Very grateful to have found you! 💖
I was wondering if you will be running tomorrow’s workshop again this year as I won’t be able to attend but I’m very interested?

Great idea - but I must know, did you then play monopoly?
Afraid not, that would definitely have led to more dysregulation. 😆
