Most women I work with have no problem giving.

They give their time. Their energy. Their advice. Their support. Their free resources. Their emotional labor. Their perfectly structured offers that go way above and beyond what was promised.

But when it comes time to receive? THAT’S where things get blocked.

And here’s the wild part: a lot of them don’t even realize they’re doing it.

They’re running their business. They’re showing up online. They’re “doing all the things.” But under the surface, there’s guilt. Discomfort. An energetic mismatch around money actually coming in.

And if your body isn’t comfortable receiving… your bank account won’t be either.

Let’s talk about it.

The Law of Giving and Receiving

Energetically and universally, giving and receiving are two parts of the same cycle. You can’t have one without the other. It’s like trying to inhale without ever exhaling. The system breaks down.

When you give generously—time, energy, money, value—you’re signaling to the universe: 

I trust there’s more where that came from.

But when you block receiving, you stop the cycle. You create stagnation. You tell the universe: I’m not available for this. Even if you say you are.

Receiving is not a passive act. It’s an energetic skill. A practice. A decision.

And most of us—especially women—were never taught how to do it.

Why Women Struggle to Receive (Especially Money)

Let’s be real. We were raised in a society that glorifies self-sacrifice and calls it virtue.

We’re told not to take up too much space. Not to ask for too much. That “good girls” are helpful, humble, and accommodating. That being well-paid is greedy. That being highly successful is intimidating. That wanting more means we’re ungrateful.

So we internalize all of that, and it starts showing up in sneaky ways.

Undercharging. Over-delivering. Discounting offers. Struggling to hit “send” on an invoice. Downplaying achievements. Feeling weird when someone compliments our work. Feeling guilty when money flows in with ease.

If any of that sounds familiar? You’re not broken. You’re just conditioned. And now—it’s time to unlearn that.

Receiving With Confidence Is a Wealth Practice

Let me remind you of something: worthiness is innate.

You were born worthy of love, support, ease, joy, and abundance. That hasn’t changed.

But when you block receiving—whether it’s compliments, support, money, or opportunities—you’re essentially saying, “I don’t believe I’m allowed to have this.”

And that energy? It repels what you’re asking for.

From an energetic perspective, guilt and receptivity don’t live on the same frequency. You can’t call in overflow from a place of tension, shame, or fear. But when you start receiving with gratitude and openness—without apologizing for it or minimizing it—you allow wealth to flow not just to you, but through you.

That’s what keeps the abundance cycle going.

Give. Receive. Give again.

How To Start Releasing Your Money Receiving Blocks

This isn’t something you fix overnight. But here’s where you can start:

1. Notice where you resist receiving
   Do you brush off compliments? Feel awkward when someone pays you? Struggle to accept help? Pay attention. Awareness is the first step.
   
2. Practice receiving in low-stakes ways
   Start small. Let someone buy you coffee. Accept a compliment without deflecting. Say “thank you” instead of “oh, it was nothing.”
   
3. Stop undercutting your own offers
   Raise your rates if they’re out of alignment. Own the value of your work. Let people pay you without needing to over-explain or over-give to “make up for it.”
   
4. Get curious about the story behind the guilt
   Whose voice is telling you that receiving is wrong? Is it even yours? What belief is being activated? Question it. Rewrite it.
   
5. Pair receiving with giving—intentionally
   Giving is still part of the flow. Money likes to move. When you give freely (from overflow, not obligation), you reinforce the belief that wealth is cyclical and abundant.
   

Want simple ways to give that keep the flow moving?

• Tip your barista a little extra
  
• Support a friend’s launch
  
• Pay your service providers on time with good energy
  
• Donate a small amount to a cause you believe in
  
• Send a surprise Venmo to someone who’s supported you
  

It’s not about the amount—it’s about the intention. It’s about circulating energy with joy, not fear.

Receiving doesn’t make you selfish. It makes you a steward of abundance.

The Most Important Thing You Need To Remember: You’re Allowed To Receive

If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable being paid well for work that feels easy…

If you’ve ever minimized your success so others would feel more comfortable…

If you’ve ever apologized for taking up space or asking for what you’re worth…

It’s time to clear that.

Because the more you receive, the more you can give. The more you hold, the more you can circulate. And the more overflow you create, the more impact you can have.

This isn’t just about business. It’s about identity.

You’re not here to scrape by or “earn” your way into abundance.

You’re here to receive it. Fully. Freely. And without guilt.
