We all have a money story. And for many of us in the LGBTQ community, it’s a negative narrative.

Maybe you were taught that money is the root of all evil. That there’s never enough to go around. Or that you have to work hard to make money.

Worse yet, you may believe that you don’t deserve financial stability, let alone financial freedom.

So, what can we do to recover from the childhood traumas that are affecting our money today?

Scott Clover is an intuitive guide who helps people release old patterns and heal themselves using skilled intuition, body energy and somatic technologies.

On this episode of Queer Money, Scott joins us to discuss the most common patterns and behaviors exhibited by individuals with financial trauma.

Scott explains how being queer might influence your relationship with money and describes how releasing internalized shame leads to better financial decisions.

Listen in for Scott’s insight on using money in a way that strengthens your self-worth and learn how to rewrite your money story and start building an affirming relationship with your finances today!
