Reclaim-uary: Black History. Black Wealth. Nervous System Safety.

January was Rewire-uary: we disrupted patterns, rewrote subconscious scripts, and rebuilt your internal wiring.

February is Reclaim-uary: we reclaim what survival conditioning taught you to abandon.

Because Black History is often taught as survival.
But Black Wealth requires de-hypnotization.

As a financial hypnotherapist, I’ve worked with thousands of high-earning, high-achieving clients. One pattern is especially clear among Black professionals, entrepreneurs, and creators:

Success does not automatically create safety in the nervous system.

So even when you’re doing “everything right,” your body may still respond to money, visibility, and responsibility like it’s a threat.

That’s where Reclaim-uary comes in.

Not as another month of hustle.
As a month of liberation through clarity.

Why your money isn’t “stuck.” Your body is bracing.

A lot of high-achieving Black earners don’t struggle because they lack discipline.

They struggle because their nervous system has been trained to associate expansion with danger.

More money can mean:

• more visibility

• more responsibility

• more requests

• more pressure to “represent”

• more risk of loss

• more fear of being judged, targeted, or abandoned

So even when the mind says “I want wealth,” the body says, “Not if it costs me my safety.”

That’s the core of Reclaim-uary.

Not “how to make more money.”
How to stop treating money like an emergency.

What we’re rewiring this month

The survival trances that keep high-achieving Black earners stuck in cycles.

This month inside Richer You in 52, we’re rewiring the conditioned responses that show up as:

• burnout disguised as ambition

• financial anxiety disguised as “being responsible”

• hyper-independence disguised as strength

• overgiving disguised as generosity

• underpricing disguised as humility

• impulsivity disguised as “I deserve it”

• self-sabotage disguised as timing issues

These aren’t character flaws.

They’re conditioned responses.

Reclaim-uary is where we de-hypnotize the patterns and rewire financial safety.

The deeper truth: survival patterns don’t disappear just because your income grew

If you grew up in instability (financial, emotional, relational), your body learned to survive by becoming:

• the responsible one

• the rescuer

• the high performer

• the secret struggler

• the one who “doesn’t need help”

• the one who stays ready for the next hit

And here’s what’s so important:

You can out-earn your upbringing and still carry the imprint.

Which is why some people hit new income and immediately experience:

• more anxiety, not more peace

• more spending, not more stability

• more pressure, not more freedom

• more responsibility, not more receiving

We call this Richer Narrative work because it’s not just about money habits.

It’s about the story your nervous system is still living inside.

Reclaim-uary is guided by the 28 De-Hypnotization Principles

A practical framework for financial safety, liberation, and embodied wealth.

Here’s how it works as a nervous-system-first pathway (not “mindset” as performance).

Phase 1: Awareness and Interrupting the Trance

We start by naming what’s actually happening—so you can stop repeating it.

Clarity of Reality

Identify where fear, urgency, or survival is driving your decisions.

This looks like:

• rushing financial decisions to quiet anxiety

• saying yes because “it’s easier than explaining”

• buying relief instead of building stability

• overworking to prove you’re safe

Conditioning Awareness

Notice beliefs you absorbed rather than chose.

Especially the ones that sound like:

• “If I relax, something bad will happen.”

• “I have to be responsible for everyone.”

• “If I have more, people will take more.”

Limiting Belief Interruption

Challenge narratives that equate struggle with virtue.

Because many of us were taught:

• pain = proof

• sacrifice = love

• exhaustion = excellence

Reclaim-uary begins when you stop calling survival “normal.”

Phase 2: Nervous System Safety

Nothing sticks when your body is bracing.

Emotional Regulation for Wealth

Regulate before reacting around money, authority, and visibility.

We’re not aiming for perfect. We’re aiming for non-reactive choice.

Identity Stabilization

Shift from bracing for loss to building capacity for stability.

This is the moment where you stop needing chaos to feel “real.”

Financial Safety Repatterning

Train the body to experience money as neutral and safe.

Not exciting. Not terrifying. Not charged.

Safe.

Phase 3: Reclaiming Agency

You stop performing survival and start practicing choice.

Behavioral Alignment

Replace urgency behaviors with grounded action.

You don’t need adrenaline to get things done.

Relational Discernment

Repair guilt, obligation, and loyalty distortions.

A lot of “money stress” is actually relational stress.

Who you feel responsible for.
What you think you owe.
What you fear will happen if you say no.

Habit Repair

Install routines that support calm wealth.

Not complicated. Not perfectionistic.

Simple systems your nervous system can tolerate.

Phase 4: Subconscious Repair

We go beneath the mindset and correct the imprint.

Subconscious Reprogramming

Release inherited scarcity scripts.

Not as a vibe. As an imprint.

Trauma-Informed Expansion

Expand without collapse.

You’re not “bad at consistency.”
Your system is still protecting you from what it thinks will overwhelm you.

Presence and Awareness

Stay present with success instead of rushing past it.

This is the place where you stop “surviving wins” and start receiving them.

Phase 5: Containment and Receiving

This is where wealth becomes sustainable.

Receiving Without Guilt

Dissolve the belief that ease must be earned through suffering.

Consistency Over Urgency

Build trust through steadiness, not adrenaline.

Self-Authority Restoration

Detach worth from productivity and sacrifice.

This is where “I don’t need to prove myself” becomes real in the body.

Phase 6: Healing the Root

We address the emotional associations that keep money charged.

Financial Healing

Repair old money imprints.

Trauma Response Liberation

Release fight/flight/freeze/fawn patterns around finances.

This looks like:

• fight: overcontrolling money, snapping at support, defensiveness

• flight: avoidance, disappearing, “I’ll deal with it later”

• freeze: paralysis, confusion, procrastination

• fawn: overgiving, undercharging, over-explaining, appeasing

Conscious Choice Reclamation

Choose from clarity instead of conditioning.

Not “what will keep me safe right now?”
What actually serves me long-term?

Phase 7: Identity Evolution

Your identity catches up to your capacity.

Visualization with Regulation

Expand without dysregulating.

Not fantasy. Not pressure.

Regulated vision.

Self-Compassion and Empathy

Replace self-policing with self-trust.

Identity Integration

Hold new income and new standards without sabotage.

This is where you stop “relapsing” into your old role every time life gets loud.

Phase 8: Embodiment

We anchor change into the body, not just the mind.

Integration

Install the new baseline.

Vision Reinforcement

Revisit goals without pressure or panic.

Aligned Action

Move from grounded intention instead of fear.

Phase 9: Sovereignty and Mastery

This is the outcome: clean power, calm wealth.

Strategic Wealth Planning

Plan from stability, not survival.

Resilience Without Hardening

Strength without shutdown.

Belief Consolidation

Reinforce long-term wealth containment.

De-Hypnotized Wealth Consciousness

Operate from clarity, safety, and self-authority.

What Reclaim-uary looks like in real life

When this work starts landing, you’ll notice:

• you set financial boundaries without guilt or collapse

• you track money without spiraling

• you stop buying relief and start building stability

• you stop over-explaining your prices, needs, and standards

• you hold success without rushing into the next emergency

• you receive support without feeling weak, indebted, or exposed

This month is about building wealth that feels calm, sustainable, and embodied.

Not wealth that requires you to live in survival mode to maintain it.

Month 2 inside Richer You in 52: Richer Narrative

Focus: past money wounds, family roles, ancestral patterns, resentment
Root responses emphasized: attachment/relational distortion + shame + hypervigilance

The signature patterns we’re dismantling

1) Financial resentment from sacrifice and overgiving
Not because you’re “generous.”
Because you were trained to earn belonging through depletion.

2) Rescuing family financially; guilt-driven giving
You can love people without funding your own overwhelm.

3) Money secrecy and shame patterns
Hiding struggles. Downplaying wins. Avoiding conversations.
Shame thrives in silence.

4) Catastrophizing from old instability
Your nervous system expects the drop—so it’s always scanning for it.

5) The “I had to be responsible” imprint
Many high-achievers aren’t ambitious.
They’re vigilant.

And vigilance is not the same thing as vision.

The core message of Richer Narrative

Black wealth is not built by pushing harder.
It’s built by unlearning what survival installed and replacing it with regulation, clarity, and choice.
