Why is it that no matter how much we learn, work, or strive, money still feels like a scorned lover instead of a supportive partner? Most people know the logical steps—budgeting, investing, raising rates but still feel stuck. The real challenge isn’t strategy. It’s the hidden relationship we’ve formed with money that quietly keeps it at arm’s length. Often, the blocks aren’t bad habits, they’re protective patterns rooted in trauma, fear, or unworthiness.
In this episode of the Life Reawakened Podcast, host Gretchen Pritts sits down with Morgana Rae, renowned wealth mentor, bestselling author of Financial Alchemy, and the original “Money Goddess.” Together, they explore how to dismantle your toxic “Money Monster” and call in a loving, supportive “Money Honey.” Morgana shares how money wounds tied to betrayal, scarcity, and rejection can make abundance feel unsafe. Her six-step process has helped thousands heal their money story not just in dollars, but in love, health, and power.
You’ll walk away with practical tools to slay your inner saboteur, turn fear into love, and form a magnetic new bond with abundance. If you’ve ever felt haunted by scarcity, this is your invitation to shift deeply and permanently. A must-listen for soul-driven entrepreneurs, coaches, and creatives ready to fall in love with life, money, and their own power.

- Understand Morgana Rae’s six-step “Financial Alchemy” process to radically shift your relationship with money.
- Reflect on how transforming your internal narrative with money can invite abundance in other areas—like love, health, and purpose.

Episode Highlights
Awaken to Abundance: Rewriting Your Relationship with Money
- Money often shows up in our lives as a source of anxiety, conflict, or shame yet beneath the struggle, it reflects something deeper.
- Instead of seeing money as an enemy to fight or a goal to chase, Morgana Rae reframes it as a powerful partner in emotional healing.
- When our nervous system associates wealth with danger, betrayal, or unworthiness, it becomes nearly impossible to receive or hold onto it.
- True financial transformation doesn’t begin with spreadsheets or strategy—it begins with safety, self-love, and rewriting the story we carry inside.
Morgana’s Approach to Money, Trauma, and Coaching
- Morgana explains that money struggles are rarely about math, they stem from deep emotional patterns.
- She shares how every act of self-sabotage is actually an act of self-protection rooted in past trauma.
- Her coaching integrates emotional healing, energetic transformation, and practical action.
- By addressing the root cause, she helps clients shift their inner relationship with money from fear to love.
Financial Alchemy: Turning Emotional Lead into Gold
- Morgana introduces the concept of “financial alchemy,” a process of transforming negative patterns into a new reality.
- She explains that real change only occurs when it feels emotionally safe, and resistance often indicates inner fear.
- Drawing from her personal story, she illustrates how confronting her own Money Monster unlocked a path to abundance.
- The metaphor of transmutation becomes a guiding principle for reclaiming financial power.
The Six Steps to Financial Alchemy
- Morgana has created a six step process to addressing money issues in our lives, along with other blockages.
- Each step is emotionally driven and designed to shift your subconscious narrative.
- She emphasizes that issues around unworthiness, safety, and trauma often drive our financial behaviors.
- The alchemy begins with deep honesty and ends with empowered decision-making.
Personifying and Slaying the Money Monster
- Morgana guides participants to imagine their Money Monster as a terrifying figure—someone or something that represents all their pain around money.
- The more dramatic and emotional this figure becomes, the more effective the transformation.
Morgana: “Love is not evil. Love does not exploit. Love is not jealous… Love is generous, love is expansive, love is noble, love is divine. Love is you being your best self.”
- Some of Morgana’s clients broke through lifelong blocks by naming and confronting this symbolic entity.
- Slaying the Money Monster is not merely symbolic. We can see it as a deep emotional reset that clears the way for abundance.
Introducing the Money Honey
- After clearing the Money Monster, Morgana invites listeners to meet their Money Honey, a loving, romantic partner who symbolizes safety, trust, and abundance.
- The Money Honey only appears once the old relationship with money is completely cleared.
- This new figure helps participants rewire their nervous system to associate money with love, respect, and joy.
- Morgana shares how this shift sparked transformation in her own life and relationships.
Making the Money Honey Real
- Participants are encouraged to talk with their Money Honey as if they were real, asking questions, receiving insight, and discovering what money truly wants for them.
- Morgana explains that this dialogue is a method of rewiring subconscious patterns.
- When you treat money as a loving partner instead of a punisher or stranger, you begin to act in alignment with abundance.
- This emotional intimacy builds momentum for change.
Taking Aligned Action with the Money Honey
- The final step is action, doing something in real life that reflects your new relationship with money.
- The actions you take might be things like investing in yourself, saying no to underpayment, or creating space for joy.
- These actions are evidence of trust and tell the universe you’re ready to receive.
- Even small choices can anchor the transformation and keep the Money Monster from returning.
Linda’s Question: How Do We Stay Centered After Betrayal?
- Linda asks how to remain centered after being stolen from, betrayed, or deceived.
- Morgana responds by inviting her to use those emotions as fuel to create her Money Monster.
- The deeper the pain, the more powerful the transformation once that monster is slayed.
- She reminds Linda that staying centered doesn’t mean ignoring pain—it means using it to reclaim safety and power.
Natasha’s Journey: Facing Worthiness and Abandonment
- Natasha shares her struggle with feelings of abandonment and unworthiness.
- Morgana advises her to personify her abandonment wound as her Money Monster and see the fear as a protector trying to help.
- Trauma fragments us, but compassion brings us back into wholeness.
- By slaying the monster and choosing a new narrative, Natasha can begin to rebuild from a place of worth and love.
Exploring the Origin of Blocks and Their Role
- We can visualize blocks as separate entities, each with their own backstory and identity.
- These blocks, formed in childhood or past lives, exist to keep us safe but now keep her stuck. They act like ill-fitting shoes—once useful, now outdated.
- We can consolidate the blocks into one symbolic figure and understand its protective intention with compassion.
Baby Steps, Trust, and Moving Toward Safety
- Practical integration is a core part of creating safety or moving toward it.
- Small, gentle steps are often more sustainable than big leaps.
- One caller, Natasha, reflects on her preference for slow, intentional change. This is a powerful and sustainable path to follow.
- Trust, safety, and self-permission are essential. Healing doesn’t rush; it unfolds through presence and patience.
Morgana: “When you forgive yourself, and you know that you can use anything that has ever happened to you and use it for your own empowerment, and use it for your own exaltation, and use it to know yourself as love, and love yourself when you can forgive yourself and know that you will never let that happen to you again, and you can trust yourself because the person who needs your trust more than anybody is you.”
Slaying Monsters, Financial Alchemy, and Reclaiming Power
- Morgana offers resources for people to deepen their journey of financial alchemy — especially for those ready to apply it fully.
- Morgana’s powerful guidance helps create emotional depth and actionable wisdom to help us deal with the blockages and monsters in our lives.
- Remember that what blocks us often does so out of love.
- However, we are our own people, with agency and independence. We do not have to let that love control us.
