How your Childhood Money Imprint is Impacting you Financially: The Scarcity Imprint (Part 2)

Your Scarcity Mindset Could Be From Your Childhood

It would be absolute insanity to think that how you grew up seeing money, experiencing success, material items, and careers doesn’t impact your relationship with money today as an adult. From spoken words to subtle eye rolls, the nuances of our childhood environments shape our financial mindset in ways we may not even realize. Often rooted in a scarcity mindset, this influence profoundly affects our economic behavior and outlook.

We dig into the scarcity imprint in this second installment of our series on childhood money imprints. You don’t need to listen to these in any particular order, but to truly understand where you fit among the four types, you should explore each part. This isn’t about the amount of money you had or your family’s income class; it’s about the energy and relationship to money you inherited. Let me share an example to illustrate why this is crucial. It has taken me five years to prepare this podcast series, starting here.

A 4 part series about how the Money Imprint of the household you grew up in impacts your relationship with money and success as an adult.

This theory of mine has been studied and tested with thousands of clients and students over the past 5 years. What I’ve discovered is the way people were exposed to money and success in their childhood environment fall into one of four categories that I refer to as Childhood Money Imprints:

The Feast or Famine Imprint

The Scarcity Imprint

The Anxiously Abundant Imprint

The Abundance Imprint

 

If you want to start diving into shifting and healing your money mindset, this is the perfect series that will blow your mind on many levels.

EP 765 The Final Shedding Required for the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.

EP 764 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Boundaries) How to Set Healthy Boundaries Without Guilt in 2026

This episode of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol is all about boundaries.

Not the cold, harsh, push-people-away kind.
But the kind that protect your energy, your peace, and your future.

Most high achievers think burnout comes from working too hard. The truth is much simpler: burnout comes from weak boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it’s not because you care too much or work too much. It’s because you’ve been saying yes to things that should have been a no.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, fear, or anxiety — and how to finally stop overgiving to the point of losing yourself.
