Money, Power & Peace of Mind
Reclaiming your financial confidence — from the inside out
Financial confidence is not a personality trait. It is a skill. And like every skill — it can be built.
The problem is that we often try to build financial confidence on a foundation of shame. And shame is not a foundation. It is quicksand.
Aleka offer you Three Reframes. Not strategies. Not action plans. Just three different ways of seeing money. PEACE - OF- MIND. The ability to make a (financial) decision without fear. To set a boundary without guilt.From Survival to Self-Trust

Aleka provides realistic steps for combating over-giving, guilt and self-sabotage because financial boundaries need practice. Not the dramatic, confrontational versions that cause upset and imbalance but the quiet, grounded leadership version that creates lasting change.
“Equality and Power start with simple conversations."
