Dear Aunty - Staying Grounded in Times of Financial Uncertainty
WRITTEN BY Charmaine Carraway
Dear Soul Tribe
Let’s be real, Soul Tribe—money worries can shake even the strongest of us.
You can be doing everything “right,” paying the bills, showing up for work, trying to build your dreams—and still feel like you’re one unexpected expense away from falling apart. It’s heavy. It’s exhausting. It can make you question your worth and your future.
And when that fear sets in, it’s like your peace goes missing. Your mind runs circles around “what ifs,” your heart gets tight, and your spirit starts shrinking under the weight of survival mode.
That’s why grounding is not optional during uncertain times—it’s essential.
Grounding doesn’t mean ignoring reality. It means rooting down deep enough that the storms don’t knock you over. It means learning to hold your center even when the numbers don’t add up yet. It’s how you protect your peace, your focus, and your faith when everything around you feels shaky.
I want you to know: financial struggle doesn’t make you less. It doesn’t make you broken. It just means life is asking you to pause, reset, and build a stronger foundation under your feet.
So let’s walk through some powerful, down-to-earth ways you can stay grounded when the money gets tight—without losing your mind, your joy, or your spirit in the process.
Auntie Charmaine’s Response
Sweetheart, I’ve been there—watching bills stack up like bricks while hope felt like it was slipping through my fingers. And I’ll tell you what I learned: you cannot worry your way into abundance. You can only ground your way into clarity.
When fear gets loud, you must get still. Here’s how:
1. Create a Grounding Budget.
Don’t treat a budget like punishment—treat it like protection. Write down what’s coming in, what’s going out, and where your energy is leaking. Ask: Does this purchase feed me or drain me? Spend on what nourishes you—good food, spiritual tools, personal growth—and cut what depletes you. This isn’t about restriction; it’s about alignment.
2. Breathe and Recenter.
When panic hits, stop and breathe. Try the 4-7-8 breath: inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Do this five times. It calms your nervous system, clears your mind, and reminds your spirit: I am safe right now.
3. Go to Nature.
Walk barefoot on the grass, sit under a tree, or place your hands in soil. Nature reminds you of abundance—trees grow without striving, rivers flow without fear. Let creation teach you to trust timing again.
4. Shift Your Money Mindset.
Your words shape your world. Instead of repeating “I’m broke,” say “Money flows to me in expected and unexpected ways.” Say it until your energy aligns with it.
Say it until your reflection believes you. Your soul has been waiting to hear your own voice speak life over it.
5. Take Small, Brave Action.
Sell what no longer serves you. Seek new income streams. Ask for help. Action creates movement—and movement invites blessing.
Sweetheart, you are not behind. You are not a failure. You are just in your becoming. Stay rooted.
Collective Soul Tribe Lesson
Soul Tribe, financial uncertainty is not the enemy—it’s an invitation. It’s the soul saying, “Let’s rebuild stronger this time.”
When we stay grounded, fear loses its grip. We stop spiraling. We start strategizing. And from that still, steady place, we become magnetic to the opportunities meant for us.
Abundance doesn’t start in your wallet—it starts in your spirit.
Mantra
Ram
( rooting energy )
Chant 7 times each morning to root your energy and 7 times at night to release fear into the earth.
Say this 3 times in the morning, 3 times midday, and 3 times at night until your spirit believes it as truth.
Affirmation
“I am grounded, I am provided for, and I walk in faith, not fear.”
