The Truth: It’s Never About the Money

When I talk to women about investing in themselves, I often hear the same refrain: “I don’t have the money.” But let me tell you, it’s never really about the money.

More often than not, these women have never truly spent money on themselves, and just the thought of doing so fills them with guilt. They’re so used to putting everyone else first—whether it’s their children, their partner, or their work—that the idea of prioritising their own needs feels almost taboo. So, they continue to say no to themselves, choosing to suffer in silence rather than voice their desires.

But here’s the truth: when my clients muster up the courage to talk to their partners about what they want to do, they’re often met with unexpected support. In fact, m2 Columnany partners are relieved to see their loved ones taking steps to reclaim their happiness. They’ve noticed the toll that neglecting oneself has taken and are eager to see a change.
