Greed is the distortion of our ability to manifest.

It arises from forgetting our inner abundance. In the ignorance frequency, we believe we must take, own, hoard—as if Source is limited.

Greed has long been painted as the ultimate sin of selfishness. The hoarder. The miser. The hungry ghost who always wants more. But for women, this sin takes on a subtler form. We’re not accused of greed because we’re stockpiling gold—we’re called greedy for wanting time, space, support, success, or pleasure. And in a culture built on women over-giving and under-earning, even asking for what we need, can feel transgressive.

Many of us were taught to apologize for our desires. To play small. To accept scraps and smile. Wanting more—money, love, visibility, rest—was framed as self-indulgent, while self-sacrifice was saintly. But this narrative doesn’t serve us. It serves systems that benefit from our silence, our exhaustion, and our lack of boundaries.

Greed, when misdirected, is rooted in scarcity. But when transmuted, it becomes abundance consciousness.

It asks: Why not me? Why shouldn’t I thrive? Why am I waiting for permission to receive? Reclaiming this “sin” means confronting internalized beliefs that say you have to earn everything through suffering. It means allowing life to bless you without guilt. Because abundance isn’t a zero-sum game—it’s an overflow that ripples into everyone around you.

More isn’t greedy. It’s generative.
