Hello and Welcome to the Wealth Identity Coach Newsletter
I’m Anna, a professional Coach specialising in wellbeing with wealth - also known as The Wealth Identity Coach™.
I'm writing here because I have a lot to say about the emotional and psychological effects of money and wealth, and this Newsletter allows for discussion, insightful questioning and inner reflection. And as the topics of money and wealth can be quite divisive, I would love to open up the conversation - free from shame and judgement and rich in thought provoking chats.
What I mean by Wealth?
Wealth in and of itself is a tricky and loaded word (more on that in my next post), and it’s connotations are vast so I think it would be worth caveating that when I talk of wealth, it is simply in the context of having more than is necessary. But this statement in itself is complicated (sorry), because what we each deem as necessary differs.
To put this into context, it’s worth taking a peek at the American psychologist Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory (see triangle below) - which so brilliantly illustrates the order in which our needs are met (bottom up).
When faced with this diagram, it would be fair to say that whilst we can’t underestimate the importance of money within modern (largely capitalist) societies - using it for the purposes of basic safety and security does not equate to having wealth. Conversely, once our core needs are met and we have an excess, the role money and wealth plays in our lives changes entirely.
It’s also worth mentioning here that wealth within my writing does not come with a number attached. One person’s wealth is another’s modest means - and this mindset travels from a moderate place of comfort all the way to the top of the wealth sphere.
Simply put, if you feel that perhaps you have more than some others, these posts may resonate - or at the very least, should allow you to think a little more deeply around what you want from your own wealth circumstances.
They may even help you gain clarity on the money dynamics within your family system; prioritise how you work in relation to money; or help you achieve a deeper understanding of what wealth means to you. And if none of these - you can always ping it across to someone you think may benefit, it could just change their life.
If you’re struggling with conflicted feelings around wealth and its impact on your life, my 1:1 coaching sessions provide a supportive and empowering space for you to gain clarity, confidence, and a sense of control, with effective tools and strategies to help you build a successful future on your own terms - regardless of material worth.
