Yoga Your Soul to Your Money: A Holistic Approach to Wealth Beyond Math at Dragonfly Fest 2024
I'm excited to announce that I'll be presenting my workshop, "Yoga Your Soul to Your Money," at Dragonfly Fest 2024 in Lockhart, Texas. This transformative festival will run from April 17–21, 2024, and my session will take place on Thursday, April 18th at 5:00 PM at the Purpose Patio stage.
Uniting Your Soul with Your Finances
In Sanskrit, "yoga" means "to unite"—a perfect metaphor for what I aim to help you achieve with your finances. While traditional wealth management focuses on "the math" (minimizing taxes and maximizing returns), my Wealth Beyond Math approach recognizes that true financial wellness also requires aligning your money with your deepest values and life purpose.
As women—particularly women of color—we often inherit complex money narratives from our families and cultures. These narratives can either empower or limit our financial potential. My workshop creates a safe space to explore these narratives and transform your relationship with money from one of stress or uncertainty to one of confidence and purpose.
Understanding Your Money Scripts
Money scripts are unconscious beliefs about finances that drive our behaviors and decisions. Dr. Brad Klontz's research shows these scripts typically form during childhood and fall into four common categories:
Money Avoidance: "Money is the root of all evil" or "Wealthy people are greedy"
Money Worship: "More money will solve all my problems" or "I can never have enough"
Money Status: "My worth is defined by my net worth" or "I need to look successful"
Money Vigilance: "I must save every penny" or "I don't deserve financial comfort"
In our workshop, you'll identify which scripts influence your financial life and learn practical strategies to rewrite limiting beliefs.
A Life-Centered Approach to Financial Planning
My approach, inspired by George Kinder's life planning philosophy, views finances as tools to create the life you truly desire:
Navigating Life Transitions: Whether you're changing careers, starting a business, or planning for retirement, understanding your financial mindset helps you make decisions aligned with your authentic self.
Funding Your Dreams: Money should empower your aspirations, not restrict them. We'll explore how intentional financial planning can fund what matters most to you—whether that's supporting family, building community, or creating personal freedom.
Creating Peace of Mind: True wealth isn't measured by your bank balance but by your sense of security, independence, and the ability to live according to your values.
What to Expect in the Workshop
During our time together, you'll:
Discover Your Money Story: Through guided reflection and journaling, uncover the origins of your financial beliefs and how they shape your current relationship with money.
Practice Financial Mindfulness: Learn techniques to bring awareness to spending, saving, and investing decisions.
Create a Values-Based Money Plan: Develop practical strategies to align your financial habits with what truly matters to you.
Build Community: Connect with others on similar journeys and share wisdom across different cultural perspectives.
This workshop welcomes everyone, regardless of financial knowledge or yoga experience. As a Chinese-American financial advisor who has navigated both Eastern and Western approaches to wealth, I bring a unique perspective on bridging cultural money mindsets.
