Episode 358: Money Codes and How to Attract More Money, with Julie Foucht

Money Is Energy, and You’re Allowed to Have a Lot of It

Chances are, if you’ve hung out with me, you’ve heard me talk about wealth consciousness. When I say the word wealth, most of us think about money pretty fast. The two have been connected for a really long time. So for this episode, I brought in a colleague I just love, Julie Foucht. She teaches women how to attract more money, and she talks about it the same way I talk about wealth consciousness.

Julie is the founder of The Art of Feminine Business. She works with the Akashic Records, Divine Feminine wisdom, energy healing, and practical strategy. She also talks about money the way we talk about gravity. When you drop your pencil, you never wonder whether it’s going to fall. So what would change if you trusted money that much?

There’s so much in our shared consciousness about women and money. What’s okay, what’s too much, and literally, am I going to get hurt if I make too much? If you’ve ever wanted to attract more money and have your relationship with it feel easier, girlfriend, this one’s for you. Pop in your earphones, and let’s get to it.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why women with money get more choice and a seat at the table of decision makers
• How giving to causes you believe in tells your brain, “I have enough”
• The four places money codes come from: society, your ancestors, past lives, and your family
• What the witch wound is, and why so many women still carry it
• Why “I don’t need a lot” and “I can’t afford it” send money the wrong message
• What to do when a money belief is really protecting your nervous system
• Julie’s story of leaving a marriage she didn’t think she could afford to leave
• A river rafting lesson on what high and low vibration feel like in your body
• Why love and money both expand

Why It Matters When Women Attract More Money

When I asked Julie why she chose this work for her one and only life, her answer was a total mic drop.

“I know that when women have more money, number one, we have more choice. We make decisions that are good for our families and ourselves.” — Julie Foucht

With that choice, we get to do things that raise our own vibration and the vibration of everyone around us. Julie believes we’ll reach a tipping point where that energy changes how things are done. Women with money also get a seat at the table of decision makers. That’s why Julie teaches women how to attract more money.

Of course, plenty of people say rich people are evil. Julie’s answer is to look at what MacKenzie Scott does with her money, and what Dolly Parton did with hers. These are women with a lot of money who used it to do so much good in the world.

Julie lives this too. About 10 years ago, she started giving to the Unstoppable Foundation every month. Recently, their rep told her she’d given enough over the years to build a whole school in Kenya. Her contribution may be small compared to some, but it makes a difference. And her deeper why? She wants her grandchildren to grow up and see elephants in the wild.

I’ve been talking with financial planners about the generational transfer of wealth to women that’s happening right now. Julie’s daughter is already teaching the next generation. Every Christmas, each of her girls gets $500 to give to whatever charity she chooses.

As women, we do so much unpaid emotional labor and invisible work. As a result, it’s easy to leave ourselves out of the money conversation entirely. That’s why I’m really happy to see that shift happening.

Use Your Money Well to Attract More Money

If you want to attract more money, Julie suggests starting with the money you already have.

“One of the practices that opens you up to receive more money is to use your money well. Money is an energy and money wants to be used well.” — Julie Foucht

When you give to a cause you believe in, your brain says, “Oh, I have enough. I can give.” Then it relaxes and opens so more can come in. Meanwhile, money likes how it feels to be used well, so it wants to visit you more.

According to Julie, any energy is drawn to higher vibrations first. Granted, some people operating at a low vibration have figured out how to have a lot of money. Still, given the choice, money flows to the higher vibration. So if you want to attract more money, the work is to let go of limiting beliefs and switch up the money codes that say we can’t or shouldn’t have it.

What Are Money Codes?

I always use the word zeitgeist because I love it. There’s so much we just pick up on without even noticing. For women, so much of that is that we weren’t allowed to handle money. We were handed from fathers to husbands, and we didn’t see the money. That may have happened hundreds of years ago, but there’s still residual stuff there.

Julie works with money codes in the Akashic Records, which she describes as your soul’s record.

“Money codes are the unconscious hidden rules and beliefs that drive us.” — Julie Foucht

We have these codes around love, desire, food, and money. According to Julie, they’re written into our unconscious, our DNA, and our chakra centers.

Where Money Codes Come From

Julie sees four main sources:

• Society. Julie pointed out that in the U.S., women couldn’t open a bank account without a father or husband right up until 1974. (That date traces back to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974, which made it illegal for banks and lenders to discriminate based on sex or marital status.) Then there are the unwritten codes. The unwritten code behind STEM programs, for example, is that girls aren’t good at math and science. And if you’re not good at math, you’re not good at money. Right now, the spell being thrown at us is that money is bad and money is short. When we believe it, we start to act that way.

• Your ancestors. Survival of the tribe came first, so you didn’t break the rules, draw attention by having more, or challenge the leader.

• Past lives and the witch wound. Many of the women Julie works with lived past lives as witches. Even if you don’t believe in past lives, we all carry the wound of the witch trials. Many accused women were older, outspoken, and owned land. That wound says your life is at stake if you have too much.

• Your family. What your parents believed about money shaped what you believe about your right to have it.

Put together, all of these build a case for how much it’s safe to have. I have a t-shirt I wear sometimes that says, “They didn’t burn witches. They burned women.” Over time, that got replaced with being demure and pretty. The message became: if you’re quiet and pretty, you’re safe. Unfortunately, that message ties directly to our ability to make money and experience wealth. It’s hard to attract more money while part of you is still deciding how much is safe to have.

How to Spot the Limiting Beliefs That Keep You From Attracting More Money

Julie says it starts with having the conversation. So many of us grew up hearing, “We don’t talk about money or sex.” Once you start talking about money, you begin noticing what comes out of your mouth.

For instance, when Julie asks women how much they want to make in their business, many say, “I don’t need a lot.” It sounds humble, like you’re not being selfish. But money hears it and says, “Okay, I won’t send you a lot.” The same thing happens when you say, “I can’t afford it.”

So if you want to attract more money, write down the beliefs you notice. Then begin to switch them.

“Money is energy. Energy is unlimited. You having a lot of money doesn’t take away from anybody else. So why not have a lot?” — Julie Foucht

And as Julie put it, “I’ve had not a lot and I’ve had a lot. A lot is better.” You’re still the same person. You just get to do more and have more fun.

When a Money Belief Is Protecting Your Nervous System

Julie doesn’t judge these beliefs. In fact, she says maybe some of them do serve you. To me, what they really serve is a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe yet. It’s the part of you that doesn’t want to stand out and get burned at the stake. So the better question is, how can I make my nervous system feel safe in a different way?

Julie gets antsy about money too. After all, we’re trained to be. When the fear comes in, she comes back to center and remembers that source has her back. She has walked this planet for 64 years and has never ended up homeless or without food.

Then she looks at what’s actually true. She knows how to make money. She knows how to call in resources. It’s always been true, so why wouldn’t it be true in the future? It’s the same way her car keeps driving down the road, even though she has no idea how an engine works.

Julie’s Story: Leaving When She Didn’t Think She Could Afford To

Julie started this work because of her first marriage. It was abusive, and she didn’t think she could afford to leave. She was killing off parts of herself to stay small. Leaving was the hardest thing she’s ever done, and she figured it out.

If you’re in that place right now, Julie wants you to know there are resources, and you will figure it out too. Her one piece of advice is to get people to help you. A couple of mentors helped her keep going. Through it, she learned how much strength she has, what boundaries are, and how to call in what she needed. As she put it, the next half will be better.

I was in a very similar situation when I got divorced. I thought, I can’t do this. And then you do it. You make it. It’s hard, and I won’t pretend it’s easy. Zero stars, do not recommend. And yet I’ve never been more grateful to be on the other side of an experience in my life.

“I am declaring right now that tomorrow is going to be different from today. I’m declaring it. It’s happening.” — Sarah Walton

We do this all the time. People wrote the Declaration of Independence, and there was a country. Someone says, “I now declare you man and wife,” and there’s a union that wasn’t there before. Most of the time, though, we take that power for granted, just like gravity.

“We never worry that gravity is not going to work. But for some reason, we worry that being high vibe isn’t going to, quote unquote, work, that we’ll be the highest energy, we’ll be the highest vibration, and the money just won’t come. That’s actually not possible.” — Sarah Walton

What High Vibration Feels Like (a River Rafting Lesson)

Julie is a mystic, not a physicist. Still, everything is made of energy. Money isn’t the pieces of paper and the little plastic cards. Those are just what we’ve assigned to represent it. To receive more money, we want our vibration to match that energy.

Money is the energy of appreciation. At the grocery store, you give them money because you appreciate the food. And appreciation is part of love, which is a very high vibration.

To explain what that feels like, Julie uses river rafting. A couple of her kids worked as raft guides, and there are two ways to be on the river. On the deep, smooth water, you’re floating along in the sunshine, calm and peaceful. In the rapids, on the other hand, you’re watching the rocks and paddling like crazy. You reach the bottom exhausted and exhilarated. Both are high vibration.

Low vibration feels like trying to paddle upstream. It’s frustrating, and your body gets tense and tight. That’s what worrying about money does. By contrast, when you’re open to receiving, your whole body opens up, and that’s when it’s easier to attract more money.

Simple Ways to Raise Your Vibration

• Touch the earth. Go walk outside. Julie shared that the Lakota have a word for the earth that means “the me that I walk upon.”
• Feel the buzz around you. Notice the energy of the trees, the rocks, the animals, the birds, and the bees.
• Turn on music and dance. For Julie, this is the simplest way to raise your vibration. Let yourself be present in it.
• Find your still water. Meditation is my way of coming back home to myself.
• Pick your playlist. Anybody can turn on Spotify. For me, anything Taylor Swift does it, and classical music can put you in that mood too.

Spend Money on What Raises Your Vibration

A lot of people had a hard time with Taylor Swift making so much money as a woman. When I went to her concert, there was so much joy, glitter, and connection with that many people at once. That’s what people really pay for: that high vibe, that feeling, that experience. So of course she made that much.

Julie added something important here. A lot of women think they don’t have the right to spend money on themselves. However, this isn’t about shopping for shoes because you feel bad about yourself. It’s about choosing experiences that raise your vibration, which is part of using your money well so you can attract more money.

For Julie, one of those experiences was collecting Beanie Boos with her granddaughter. They cost five or six bucks each, and the two of them would go hunting through the stores for just the right one. Today, Julie has 150 of them, and she’s thinking about leaving them in little free libraries for other kids to find. Another time, she and her other granddaughter hid dollar bills all around town.

You never regret that kind of purchase, gift, or donation. Money wants to have fun. It wants to play. And as Julie said, we’re not here on this planet to suffer.

Love Expands, and So Does Money

When Julie’s second child was born, she worried she wouldn’t have enough love for him because she loved her daughter so much. Instead, she loved him just as much. Love expands.

“Anyone who’s had more than one love knows that love is not finite. It’s impossible for love to be finite. How do you even quantify it? Money is the exact same way.” — Sarah Walton

You can buy a $5 Beanie Boo or Taylor Swift tickets and have that same experience. The amount doesn’t matter. Trouble starts when we try to quantify the experience, and that’s when we start worrying about money.

So where did you feel yourself shift during this conversation? That energy Julie described in the rapids is real. You’ve felt it. Now it’s about bringing it into your daily life with money.

“When there is more money in the hands of more women, goodness happens. We know it. We’ve seen it. We’ve experienced it.” — Sarah Walton
