Money and the Mother Wound with Michelle Atlas

Your relationship with money isn't just about budgets and strategies—it's deeply connected to your earliest attachment patterns, particularly with your mother.

In this conversation, transformational coach Michelle Atlas reveals how the mother-daughter relationship shapes everything from our sense of worthiness to our capacity to receive, and how these early patterns become our money attachment styles.

Michelle, who lived in an ashram for 12 years and has been on a spiritual path for over four decades, shares the surprising connection between anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles and our financial behaviors. She opens up about her own journey from shopping to fill a void to experiencing a spontaneous moment of self-forgiveness that completely transformed her relationship with money—and herself.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How mother wounds show up in your bank account
• Why attachment styles and money styles are one and the same
• The somatic sensations that drive your money decisions
• Why decades of spiritual practice matter in transformation work
• How to befriend money the way you'd befriend a trusted companion
• The path from "I need this to feel whole" to "I am enough"

Whether you've been working on your money relationship for years or you're just beginning to sense there's something deeper beneath your financial patterns, this conversation offers a portal to profound healing.
