You Are Nothing Without Me — And Other Lies We Outgrow
She followed every rule her father gave her — until he told her she was nothing without him.
Eloise Tomkins grew up doing exactly what was expected. She got the good grades, earned the safe degree, landed the secure job — all with her dad’s voice in her head telling her that women couldn’t manage money and needed men to provide.
But then her dad had a stroke. And what followed cracked her entire identity wide open.
One sentence – “You are nothing without me” – flipped a switch. Eloise walked away from the life she was told to want and built one she actually loved.
In this chat, we talk about generational money trauma, the nervous system’s role in pricing your offers, and why you don’t need another affirmation – you need to feel safe in your body to get rich.
“He never believed in me. So I decided to believe in myself — and build everything he said I couldn’t.”
