Free Assessment vs Course: Which Path Is Right for You?
You're ready to work with your money blocks. But should you start with the free assessment or go straight to the full course? Here's how to choose the path that matches where you are right now.
The Honest Truth: There's No Wrong Choice
Both paths lead to the same destination: clarity about what's been blocking your financial flow and a roadmap for shifting it.
The difference isn't about "better" or "worse." It's about depth, pace, and support.
Some people need to dip a toe in before diving deep. Others are ready to commit fully from day one. Both approaches work—if you choose the one that matches your readiness.
The Free Assessment: Who It's For
The Hidden Money Block Assessment is perfect if you:
- Want to understand the concept first before investing time or money
- Need to identify your specific block before deciding on deeper work
- Learn best through self-paced exploration without structured guidance
- Prefer to work independently and figure things out on your own
- Are curious but not yet ready to commit to a full transformation process
What You Get in the Free Assessment:
- Identification of which of the 7 common money blocks is affecting your flow
- Tarot card connections for each block (so you can recognize patterns in readings)
- Understanding of where these blocks come from and why they persist
- Awareness of what these patterns are costing you financially
- A starting point for further exploration
What the Free Assessment Won't Give You:
- Step-by-step methods for rewiring the blocks
- Guided tarot spreads designed for transformation
- Structured journaling frameworks
- The psychological context behind why tarot works for money mindset
- Support or community as you do the work
Think of the assessment as: A diagnostic that shows you what's wrong, but doesn't include the treatment plan.
For many people, that's exactly what they need—awareness is the first step, and they'll take it from there on their own.
