Wearing Abundance Like a Costume Doesn’t Fool Anyone

There’s something about power dressing in the wrong context that tells you everything.

Picture it.

A woman struts into the local community centre in full corporate armour, heels sharp enough to cut glass, watch worth more than the venue. She looks like she belongs on the 42nd floor.

Or maybe it’s a guy in a tuxedo ordering a martini at the bar of a working men’s club, like he’s stepped out of a Bond movie and into the wrong postcode.

The issue isn’t how they look. It’s the mismatch. They’re dressed for one identity, living inside another. And the energy doesn’t lie.

This is what most people are doing with abundance. They’re dressing it up, talking it up, performing the role. But underneath, they’re still running the same patterns that built their limitations in the first place. They’re trying to speak confidence from a body still wired for scarcity. They’re showing up in places, internal and external, where abundance doesn’t live.

And that’s why nothing sticks.

Because abundance isn’t a costume. It’s not a look. It’s not a script. It’s a state of coherence between who you are and what you want to experience.

That begins with clarity. Who’s really running the show right now? Not the version you wish you were, the one your energy is trying to broadcast. It’s the one you’re pretending you’re not.

Take the Abundance Archetype Quiz and let’s start unravelling how to stop pretending to be abundant and get your nervous system re-formatted so you can actually be abundant, even when wearing that old pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Put the dress and the tux in the wardrobe for when you’re at Cannes.

Take the Quiz

This isn’t about mindset tweaks. It’s about infrastructure. Nervous system regulation. Capacity expansion. Coherence between who you are and what you’re trying to receive. It’s the foundation that abundance actually rests on.

This is where you begin to upgrade your identity, not your image. The Abundant Self is coming around again in January. Watch for it.

This is where the deeper energetic work begins and it ties right into the work we do in The Abundant Self.

Your life will only expand to the size of the identity you’re living from. You can’t fake this. It’s time to build the real thing.

All the best,
