Recap: UWIB Presents: Rewrite Your Money Story with Blissful Vida Finance
If you missed our webcast, “Rewrite Your Money Story” with Blissful Vida, Founder, Erika Dox-Martinez brought together an incredible group of thoughtful, curious, and ambitious women ready to rethink the way they relate to money.
With warmth, wisdom, and vulnerability, Erika guided us through a powerful journey of reflection and reframing. Together, we explored how our financial narratives shape our financial behaviors and how we can begin rewriting them to align with the lives we truly desire. We are editing the webcast and will send it out once it is finished.
Key Takeaways from Erika’s Session:
Money Stories Go Beyond the Numbers:
They’re not just about budgets or spreadsheets - our beliefs around money are shaped by early experiences, cultural norms, generational messaging, societal pressure, and even trauma. These stories often operate beneath the surface, and naming them is the first powerful step toward transformation.
Personal Reflections Reveal Hidden Patterns:
Erika’s “sneaker story” helped participants recognize the subtle ways their money stories influence everyday decisions, sparking a deeper connection and clarity around their own patterns.
Reframe with Intention:
Focus on what you want to create, not just what you’re trying to avoid. One example we worked through was shifting from “stop impulsive spending” to “start spending with intention,” creating a more empowering, forward-focused mindset. Small language shifts can lead to big internal shifts.
Healing Happens in Community:
The conversations sparked connection, vulnerability, and mutual encouragement. Talking openly about money helped participants feel seen and reminded them they’re not navigating this alone. This event was a beautiful reminder that we’re all capable of rewriting the financial stories we’ve inherited or internalized. Thank you to everyone who showed up fully, shared openly, and created space for growth, not just for themselves, but for each other.
