It’s official! I am certified in the Trauma of Money™ method. I am stepping into a new chapter of my practice 🌿 On Monday April 20th from 1-230pm MDT, I will be sharing my first public offering in this new work: money movement with breana Bills and financial decisions have a way of taking our spirits from our body. In the past, I have felt isolated, small and exhausted trying to maneuver myself through financial systems. But what if we weren’t doing it alone? money movement with breana is a 90m drop-in gathering. There will be storytelling and welcome as we open, intention setting, body-doubling, and time to celebrate. During our body-doubling time, we will tackle the hard stuff -- Bring your budget, bring that debt notice that you have felt nervous to face, bring your taxes (let’s be real some of us filed an extension or planned to and forgot). Let’s body-double and create some movement of the tasks that suck. And then, let’s celebrate. Because moving towards financial well-being, even simply showing up at all, is worth celebration. See you Monday comrade! Link in bio 🌱

Reflection on friendship, holding, and the spaces in between What does it mean to be in relationship without gripping so tightly that we leave marks? In this episode of signs of breana, I reflect on how friendship has shifted from urgency to discernment from “this is my person” to understanding layers of connection acquaintance comrade friend and the truth that friendship, for me, lives on the other side of rupture through repair through choosing each other again Some relationships burn bright and then burn through and the grief of that can shake you and still we are never without connection What if friendship is not something we hold but something we practice? Where are you holding tightly? And where are you being invited to soften? #FriendshipAsPractice #SignsOfBreana #QueerCare #RelationalHealing #CommunityCare

What holds you when the life you imagined dissolves? When the degree does not become the door and the city you loved becomes a memory? Eye remember being fed. Not just bread from a bakery, not just lunch at a mall that used to have another name, but care. A friend who said, you can get me when you get there. And what is “there”? A job? Stability? Worthiness? Maybe “there” is just the moment you can finally receive without shrinking. What do you do with the love that met you in a season of uncertainty? And can you pass it on before you feel ready? Can you recall a memory where someone feed you not just physically but fed your soul when you really needed it? #MoneyMemories #GriefArtist #FinancialHealing #CareEconomy #Generosity #CommunityCare #HealingThroughStory

I almost didn’t apply Because my skin was breaking out. Because my body is changing. Because I didn’t feel ready to be seen. But when does “ready” arrive? Being trans is a calling. Being human is an experiment. And sometimes the practice is showing up anyway. #TransTok #QueerStory #BodyChange #SelfAcceptance #HealingJourney #Visibility #TransAndNonbinary

What does survival look like when grief is sitting beside you? I was 26. $1000 in my pocket. Standing in a car dealership hoping no one would take advantage of me. A 2008 Prius. $335 a month. A hope and a prayer that I could make the payments. It wasn’t about luxury. It was about getting to work. It was about carrying groceries home. It was about making life a little easier while grieving. And that one decision rippled. My dad bought a car. My sister drives a Prius now too. Sometimes a purchase is not just a purchase. Sometimes it changes what feels possible. What is a purchase that changed your life? #MoneyMemories #FinancialLiberation #FinancialHealing #GriefAndMoney #MoneyStories

Have you watched the first episode of our trans dating show yet?

What does care look like when the bills start arriving? I was graduating college. My grandmother was living with Alzheimer’s. Not all at once. A slow shift in the fabric of our family. The matriarch now needing care. And care costs money. Envelopes started arriving. Bills stacking on the table. I remember my dad too overwhelmed to open them. Then my auntie sat down beside him. Opening each envelope. Going through them together. It didn’t solve everything. But it meant he didn’t have to carry it alone. Sometimes kindness looks like sitting down beside someone. Sometimes that’s enough to make the impossible feel manageable. What is a moment of care that changed how you carry money? #MoneyMemories #FinancialLiberation #FinancialHealing #CareWork #CollectiveCare

What does hope look like when it costs a few dollars at 7-Eleven? What do you inherit besides debt, besides fear, besides silence? Two generations of gambling. Scratchers. Slots. The California lottery. Was it addiction? Was it longing? Was it a way to touch luxury for a weekend? Maybe hope was the ritual. Maybe the casino was not about winning. Maybe it was about imagining a life where the system did not win. What are the money stories you carry in your body? And are they asking to be judged or understood? Share one money memory you are rethinking lately. #MoneyMemories #FinancialHealing #TraumaOfMoney #GenerationalPatterns #FinancialLiberation #HopePractice #HealingLineage
