Hey royals,
Confession:
I don't think money is the problem.
I think our relationship with money is.
In November 2024, I attended Ken Honda's retreat, which made me realise something uncomfortable.
My relationship with money was good - but not great.
It worked.
But it didn't flow.
That's when this idea really landed for me:
Money is relational.
When you feel stressed about money, money feels stressed being around you.
Common sense, right?
You wouldn't want to be friends with someone who's constantly anxious and panicking.
So why would money?
In 2025, things started moving faster again - but this time, in a good way.
I stopped forcing.
I stopped gripping.
I focused on work that genuinely excited me.
And funny thing... money started flowing more easily.
Not because I worked harder.
But because the relationship felt better.
Here's the newer realisation for 2026.
I'm calm with my money.
But I noticed I still get anxious when it comes to other people's money.
That anxiety wasn't about money at all.
It was about responsibility without boundaries - the same pattern that burned me out years ago.
And that's when I knew:
Protecting my peace protects my flow.
If there's one takeaway, it's this:
Look at money as your friend.
You create an environment where it feels safe being with you.
I wrote the full reflection - including what changed, what I stopped doing, and how I think about money now - in this blog post: Read the full piece here!
If you've been feeling tense, pressured, or stuck around money... this one might land exactly where it needs to.
Final thought
Money wants to be around people who feel safe to be with.
So be the kind of energy you'd want in a friendship:
Grounded. Calm. Trusting.
If this resonates, remember:
This isn't just about money - it's about your relationship with it.
There are many ways to cook the same egg:
Speakers Society Accelerator → monetise your voice.
Royal Launch School → automated digital business for female founders.
Money and AI Accelerator (join the waitlist) → diversify and invest.
Different paths. Same outcome: Income with alignment.
And that's where I can help.
P.S. Be a cat. Unbothered. Grounded. Trusting. 😆

What investment is rudimentary for billionaires but ‘revolutionary’ for 70,571+ investors entering 2026?
Imagine this. You open your phone to an alert. It says, “you spent $236,000,000 more this month than you did last month.”
If you were the top bidder at Sotheby’s fall auctions, it could be reality.
Sounds crazy, right? But when the ultra-wealthy spend staggering amounts on blue-chip art, it’s not just for decoration.
The scarcity of these treasured artworks has helped drive their prices, in exceptional cases, to thin-air heights, without moving in lockstep with other asset classes.
The contemporary and post war segments have even outpaced the S&P 500 overall since 1995.*
Now, over 70,000 people have invested $1.2 billion+ across 500 iconic artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.
How? You don’t need Medici money to invest in multimillion dollar artworks with Masterworks.
Thousands of members have gotten annualized net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% from 26 sales to date.
