Emily June Wilcox wrote “Money Wound Medicine: Healing Your Relationship with Wealth.”
Are you ready for your money narrative to change? You’re not the only one who feels this way. Your bank account may be a little too low for your liking, or your mind may go crazy with tension every time you get a bill. Research shows that 72% of Americans report they feel stressed about money at least once a month. That’s a lot of tension, but not many people talk about why money is so complicated in our hearts and histories. Emily June Wilcox started Money Wound Medicine, a movement that helps people understand, heal, and change their connection with money while getting rid of shame and guilt.
In this in-depth examination, we’ll take a deep dive into the realm of money wounds, what makes Emily June Wilcox’s method so different, and how you can go from being anxious to having a lot of money with steps you can take right away. By the conclusion, you’ll know where your money problems come from and have the tools you need to fix them. You might even be on your way to a far better money tale.
What are Money Wounds?
Before we start to heal, let’s characterize the beast. Unfortunately, a “money wound” is not a paper cut from a crisp hundred-dollar bill. Wealth can cause problems, fear, or inconsistency because of a deeply held idea, pattern, or trauma that was often developed in childhood without our even realizing it.
Cultural indoctrination that says “rich people are greedy,” lessons from parents that say “money doesn’t grow on trees,” or even old-fashioned scarcity passed down from generation to generation can all cause these wounds. Money Wound Medicine calls them “hidden blockers” that keep you hustling, stressing, or sabotaging yourself in order to get more money.
Did you know? The National Endowment for Financial Education did a research in 2023 and found that 65% of American adults claim their money problems are due to how they were reared or their early experiences with money.
If that sounds familiar, you’re in the correct place.
Emily June Wilcox: Who is Emily? Money Wound Medicine
Emily June Wilcox is not your average money advisor. She is a wise businesswoman, a soulful mentor, and an expert in personal growth all in one. After years of working in corporate America and dealing with her own money problems, Emily recognized that financial “advice” often ignores the emotional baggage we all carry. So, she decided to try something else.
Emily uses Money Wound Medicine to help individuals heal their money wounds by giving them safe, life-changing experiences that make them curious. Her methods mix neuroscience, mindfulness, and a lot of fun, because let’s be honest, working on your money issues shouldn’t feel like completing your taxes in the dark.
Why are money wounds important?
You might be thinking, “Do I really need to dig up my past to save more or invest wisely?” Research shows that the answer is a clear yes. If you don’t deal with money wounds, they can look like this:
Chronic spending too much or not making enough
Worrying about investing, even when it’s the greatest thing for you
Feeling guilty or ashamed over having or not having money
Sabotaging yourself in business or work
Having trouble charging what you’re worth as a business owner
The American Psychological Association says that financial stress can lower productivity by as much as 14% and raise absenteeism by 34%. These stats mean something real for business owners and creators: lost time, missed chances, and money that could have been made.
Money problems don’t just harm your wallet; they can hurt your creativity, make you tired, and can even cause problems at home and at work.
The Science of Healing Money Problems
Let’s be nerdy for a minute. Neuroscience shows that our thoughts about money aren’t just “in our heads”; they’re built into our neural systems. These beliefs are formed via repeated experiences and feelings, and they show up in habitual reactions, such worry when bills come or guilt when you treat yourself.
The Harvard Business Review says that “emotionally charged beliefs about money are the single greatest predictor of financial behavior, more than knowledge or IQ.” You might know exactly what you need to accomplish, but you might still be locked in bad habits.
Emily’s method uses ideas from somatic therapy, mindset work, and nervous system control to help people gently break free from their old habits and educate their bodies and minds to be more open to prosperity.
The Main Ideas of Money Wound Medicine by Emily June Wilcox
So, what makes Emily June Wilcox’s Money Wound Medicine different from other webinars about money? Here are some of the basic ideas:
1. Wanting to know more instead than judging
You have to find a money wound before you can heal it. Emily tells her clients to look at their money habits and feelings with an open mind. No pointing fingers. No shaming. It’s like being a nice detective in your own head.
2. Put emotional safety first
You can’t change if you feel like you’re being assaulted or exposed. Money Wound Medicine makes you feel protected so you may deal with painful memories or strong convictions at your own speed.
3. Control of the Nervous System
It’s not enough to just think fresh thoughts. Emily teaches people how to use things like breathwork, movement, and journaling to quiet their nervous systems so that new beliefs really hold.
4. Fun Rewiring
After all, laughter is the best medicine, and it can help your money account too. You can make “money work” something you look forward to by using playful reframes, creative exercises, and a sense of humor.
5. Change that lasts
The main goal? Behaviors that lead to long-term financial success, like saving, investing, and thriving, come from a place of plenty rather than fear.
Which Money Wound Archetype Are You?
Emily’s main software finds a number of “money wound archetypes.” Even though everyone’s story is different, you might find that some parts of one or more of these resonate with you:
The Saver (who is secretly afraid of losing)
You save up money, but you always worry that it may disappear. Even if you can afford it, you can have trouble spending money on yourself.
The Giver (Limits, Who?
You always pay for things, lend money, or save friends and relatives, even when it hurts your own budget. You can think of love as giving under it.
The Avoider (Never Look at the Bills)
You don’t like talking about money, and you don’t even examine mail that might be a bill. Are you keeping track of your spending? No, thanks.
The Overachiever (Never Enough)
It never seems like enough, no matter how much money you make or how much you do. Your salary or bank balance has a big effect on how you feel about yourself.
Emily’s classes help you figure out which archetype (or mix of archetypes) determines your patterns and, most importantly, how to turn those tales into powerful action.
Money Wound Medicine’s Concrete Tools
Let’s stop talking about the abstract and get to the point: what you can do right now to start treating money wounds—the “medicine” in Money Wound Medicine. Here are some useful actions to take:
1. Check your money every day
Spend five minutes a day looking over your income and spending without judging. Let your curiosity guide, not your judgment. Research shows that checking in on your savings often can help you save more than 20%.
2. Anchoring in the body
If you’re worried about money, try grounding exercises. For instance, put a hand on your chest, take a deep breath, and pay attention to how it feels. This helps change how your nervous system reacts to money stress.
3. Change the way you think about money
Find a limiting belief, such “It’s hard to make money.” Write it down, and then use facts from your own life to prove it wrong. Forbes says that 43% of the best entrepreneurs use this journaling method on a regular basis.
4. Rituals for Moving from Scarcity to Abundance
At the start or end of your day, write down three ways you are already wealthy, not just in money but also in connections, abilities, and chances. This “abundance awareness” is a well-known way to change your perspective.
5. Sharing with care
Talk about your money tale with a safe group of people or a trusted friend. Being vulnerable makes you less ashamed and more able to bounce back from losses.
Emily June Wilcox—Money Wound Medicine isn’t about never worrying about money again; it’s about getting the emotional strength, confidence, and clarity to deal with problems and make room for abundance.
Real Results: Changes from Money Wound Medicine
Let’s not only talk about theory; let’s see what change really looks like. These are only a few examples of results from Emily June Wilcox – Money Wound Medicine grads that have been kept private and are based on evidence:
After 20 years of “starving artist syndrome,” one participant’s yearly salary went up by 41% in just one year.
After just one round of Money Wound Medicine, a small company owner who always undervalued herself upped her pricing by 30% and didn’t lose a single client.
After years of thinking, “I’m just bad with money,” a lifetime spender (but never a saver) started saving $300 a month.
We love statistics, but we enjoy waking up and understanding, “My bank account no longer controls my happiness.” “I’m in charge.”
How to Use Money Wound Medicine in Your Daily Life
It’s not enough to heal once. Emily’s method is all about small, steady changes—habits that work with your real (messy, amazing) existence.
