Too many people carry fear and unhealthy emotions around money. Whether you were born rich, poor, or somewhere in between, money has always played an important role in your life. But for many, the way we feel about money isn’t rooted in logic or fact—it’s shaped by early life experiences and what we saw others do, not by objective reality.

These deep-seated beliefs are often subconscious and can hold us back in powerful ways. The good news? You can break free. You can overcome these limiting stories and start dreaming big again—then actually achieve those dreams.

In her new book, Awaken Your Wealth: Creating a PACT to Optimize Your Money and Your Life, Julie Marie Murphy offers a practical, down-to-earth approach to transforming your financial life. Her guide is simple, relatable, and powerful—designed to help you build true wealth and financial independence with confidence.

This book follows her award-winning best-seller, The Emotion Behind Money: Building Wealth from the Inside Out. As a highly respected CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP), Julie brings both personal and professional experience to the table. Her own journey began when she realised she had internalised the belief that wealth was only for a select few—that money was scarce and only those born into privilege or luck could have it. But once she became aware of those subconscious patterns, she chose to rewrite the script.

Through that transformation, Julie created the PACT system—a framework that helped her not only find emotional and spiritual peace but also attract incredible prosperity. And after seeing the impact it had on her clients’ lives, she knew she had to share it with the world.

Awaken Your Wealth is packed with relatable stories, powerful insights, and practical exercises that will help you shift your mindset and make money work for you. Inside, Julie shows you:

· How to build real wealth by changing the story you tell yourself about money
· How to break free from limiting beliefs that hold you back
· How to shift your energy and attract more abundance
· How to create a positive, empowering relationship with money
· How to experience true peace of mind while achieving your financial goals

Whether you’re just starting your financial journey or approaching retirement, the PACT system can help you reach your goals faster than you ever imagined. Julie’s message is simple but powerful: your financial freedom is possible—and it starts with you.

So if you're ready to dream bigger, live freer, and awaken your wealth, there’s no better time to begin than now.
