What if your finances aren't a math problem — they're a mirror?
This is Week 1 of The Abundance Experiment, read by the author. In this chapter, we meet the central idea of the entire book: that every financial reaction you have — the anxiety before checking your balance, the guilt after a purchase, the quiet resentment when someone else seems to have it easy — isn't really about money at all.
It's about what you believe about yourself.
Through a personal story about two very different upbringings and the surprising thing they have in common, this chapter unpacks why your financial life is a readout of your inner life — and introduces the first experiment: seven days of simply watching the mirror.
What's in this chapter:
→ Why money is never neutral
→ The "out there" illusion that keeps people financially stuck
→ What your emotional reactions to money reveal about your self-worth
→ The 7-Day Money Mirror Challenge
This is the second section of the full audiobook, released weekly as the project comes together.
