What Happens When You Finally Put Yourself First

Julie Murphy • July 8, 2025
A coin is sitting on top of a pile of rocks.

Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught that putting ourselves first was selfish.
That choosing rest meant we were lazy.
That saying “no” made us difficult.
That wanting more — peace, abundance, joy — was somehow wrong.


But here’s what I know after 29 years of coaching people through their money stories:
The moment you choose YOU… everything changes.


Recently in one of our weekly coaching sessions, a woman shared how she finally set a boundary with a family member who had been financially draining her for years.


She said, “I felt guilty for so long, but when I finally stood up for myself… I felt free.”


And then the ripple effects came:

  • She landed a new client.
  • She slept through the night for the first time in months.
  • She started smiling again — not because everything was perfect, but because she was finally aligned.


That’s the power of choosing yourself.


You stop leaking energy.
You stop attracting chaos.
You start to magnetize what matches your truth.


And no, it’s not always easy — but it’s always worth it.


That’s what we do every week in my Awaken Your Wealth group coaching program. We don’t just talk about money. We heal the emotional and energetic blocks that keep you from receiving it.


We dive into:

  • Money patterns from childhood
  • Subconscious beliefs around worth and safety
  • Real-time decisions about boundaries, career shifts, and relationships


If this resonates… if you’re ready to stop surviving and start aligning — I’d love to have you join us.

Remember: choosing yourself isn’t selfish. It’s sacred.

Much Love,
Julie
