Meet Margie Stewart, the insightful founder of RAW Money—a practice where financial wellbeing transcends traditional planning and taps into the rich tapestry of emotional experience.

Every one of us has a unique money story—a narrative shaped by our experiences, beliefs, values, and the significant events that have impacted our relationship with money

Our relationship with money often mirrors our emotional and psychological states, especially when influenced by past trauma. The RAW Money Cycle—Spend, Save, Give, and Receive—can reflect trauma responses such as flight, freeze, fawn, and fight.

At RAW Money, we believe that your financial journey is a cyclical process that encompasses four key elements: Spend, Save, Give, and Receive

Money, often seen as the root of all evil or a mere tool for transactions, because it is a material connection to our energy, holds a deeper, more profound significance in our lives.

In the world of personal finance, we often focus on tangible assets like savings accounts, investment portfolios, and real estate. However, at RAW Money, we believe that your greatest asset is not something that can be bought or sold – it's you.

Debt is more than just a financial issue—it's deeply tied to our emotions and behaviours. By understanding and addressing these underlying issues with compassion, we can work towards achieving financial wellbeing.
