Your Ancestors Are Sabotaging Your Financial Success!

Business Coach and Psychotherapist ,Diana Zelvin, teaches a transformative workshop that dives deep into the hidden roots of financial trauma, its impact on your profitability, and the steps you can take to unlock your financial potential. This often-overlooked issue affects every aspect of our lives, yet most of us remain unaware of the subconscious beliefs and anxieties about money that silently sabotage our financial success.  From childhood, we all absorb implicit and explicit messages about money from our families and culture. These beliefs, shaped by our parents and ancestors' experiences—including their financial traumas—are passed down through generations. These inherited patterns influence how we think about money, what actions we do or don’t take towards acquiring more and even whether we believe we deserve to have it. In this workshop, you will: • Explore the hidden messages and financial traumas passed down from your ancestors that may be hindering your financial success. • Identify the subconscious fears and beliefs that block your financial growth. You will have a greater understanding why you may avoid finances, accumulate debt, overspend, or struggle to save and charge what you're worth. • Release the guilt, shame, and fear that often accompany unhealthy money behaviors. • Shift from a scarcity mindset, where lack and limitation dominate, to an abundant mindset, where you can see and seize unlimited opportunities, resources, and wealth. Most importantly, you’ll discover that you have the power to transform your money mindset and build a healthier, more prosperous relationship with money.
