    The way we treat money is a mirror reflection of how we treat ourselves. 
    We give so much of our power away to the feelings inspired by money and our relationship with it. It’s time to redirect that power… to move from feeling disempowered to empowered… from not good enough to more than good enough… from unworthy to deserving. 
    We need to look at money through a trauma-informed lens. We need to distil the little traumas and the big traumas from our unconscious mind, from our belief systems, in order to change our perception of money to one of empowerment. 
    This book will help you do that. 
    It’s not about the money: 3 Steps to Becoming A Wealthy Woman guides us through the journey from Financial Insecurity to Financial Freedom through the lens of financial trauma and the emotions of money. 
    Catherine Morgan shares stories, inspiring thoughts, practical steps and powerful exercises, distilled through the lens of financial past, financial present and financial future in order to equip you to manage your money, mind and the behaviours that have prevented you from having more money, keeping hold of it and growing it.
