Money Mindset & Financial Wellness (Financial Hypnosis)

This is the first call of the Hidden Column, a free live group about your personal money. It meets once a month, and it's open to everyone, whether or not you run a business.

The bill you don't open, the balance you won't check, the fee you keep meaning to raise. Most of us learned those habits with our personal money long before we had a business or a career to repeat them in. This group is where we look at them, calmly and without judgment.

This month's topic is Settle. Here's what we'll do:

• Learn a short daily calming practice, taught in full on the call, that you can use any time money makes your shoulders climb up around your ears.
• Take the Five Element Money Wheel, a free self-assessment, as your starting point.
• Write down every account you have: checking, savings, cards, loans, and retirement. You only list them. Nobody opens anything this month.

You'll leave with one thing actually done, not one more idea to feel guilty about later.

How it works:

• 75 minutes on Zoom. RSVP here and the link will show up on this page.
• Camera on or off, your choice. Listening is always enough.
• Nobody shares a number, a balance, or a debt out loud. Ever.
• Every call stands on its own. Next month's topic is different, and you can join any month.

This is a group about habits and money. It isn't therapy, investment advice, or a sales pitch.

I'm Jassen Bowman, a Registered Hypnotherapist in Port Hadlock, WA. I spent fifteen years in tax resolution, and that taught me money trouble is rarely about knowledge. Bring a pen and paper. That's all you need.

This is the first Reflection Circle, a free monthly hour on Zoom for people who'd rather think about money than be told what to do with it.

Here's how the hour goes. I draw a card from my Financial Reflections deck. Each card is one question about money or work, and nobody has seen it yet, including me. We take a quiet minute to think. Then two or three volunteers answer out loud, I say back what I heard, and we draw the next card. At the end, everyone says what they're leaving with, out loud or in the chat.

Most people just listen, and that's fine. Listening is always enough.

Three rules, said at the start of every circle:

• No advice and no fixing. Nobody tells anyone else what to do.
• What's said in the circle stays in the circle.
• You can always pass.

How it works:

• One hour on Zoom, the first Sunday of every month. RSVP here and the link will show up on this page.
• Every circle stands on its own, with new cards each time, so you can come to any month.
• It's free, it isn't therapy, and there's no pitch at the end.
