What are your top 3 archetypes?
You will find below a summary of the strengths, gifts and challenges for each of the 8 archetypes.
We all have all 8 archetypes within us but our lives are ruled by our top 3.
We can all call upon any of the archetypes, depending on what we want or need to do in our lives or businesses, but we are ultimately a combination of our top 3, and the way it manifests also depends on how strong our scores are for these top 3 archetypes.
Go straight to your top archetype below and read the summary, then find your second, then your third. If there are any ties in your top 4 or 5, I strongly encourage you to book a FREE 20-minute consultation with me and I can help you determine which ones are your actual top 3 and in what order.
The summary for each archetype is only a short description but it gives you a good insight as to who you are when it comes to money. And since ‘the way you do money is the way you do everything’ (Kendall SummerHawk), you can start to understand why you behave in a certain way when it comes to, say, food, or relationships, or your house cleaning, or the way you drive, even!
Accumulator
You and money are outwardly a match made in heaven. For you, saving and living within your means comes naturally. But inwardly, worrying about spending even small amounts of money, not trusting that money is an unlimited resource or fearing that you’ll run out of money can cause you tremendous stress and anxiety and limit your willingness to invest in yourself. Self-imposed limits keep you from stretching into your fully expressed brilliance.
Strengths and gifts
You are conscientious, trustworthy and disciplined; you save easily and you are financially responsible and independent.
Challenges
Secrecy, lack of trust and lack of generosity.
Example of how you can create alignment
Imagine for a moment that nothing is going to happen that will diminish your savings for the next 5 years, how would this change the way you live?
Alchemist
Your love/hate relationship with money signals your appreciation for the good it can do in the world, even though you resent its importance. Money doesn’t have the power to corrupt; only people do. By focusing your energy towards monetising your ideas, you have the power to impact others in positive, amazing ways. Your will is powerful. Why not use it to ground your ideas in practical actions that transform and inspire?
Strengths and gifts
You are idealistic, transformational and daring and love creating ideas and championing others.
Challenges
Relying on others for financial support, feeling judgemental about money, discounting and rebelling against creating money goals or habits.
Example of how you can create alignment
What negative belief about money are you willing to release in order to make a positive impact in the world?
Celebrity
Your charismatic personality makes you a magnet for attracting ‘5 Star’ people and experiences. You love to bring on the bling, create a lot of attention and you deeply appreciate the doors that money can open. But under the glitz and glam, you may be over-compensating for having felt criticised in your younger years. While you’ll always enjoy being in the spotlight, allowing others to see your vulnerability and allowing yourself to be loved for who you are, imperfections and all, can be immensely healing.
Strengths and gifts
You are magnetic, confident, radiant and a natural leader, and you love standing out in a crowd and helping others make a great impression.
Challenges
Compulsive spending, valuing status above financial security, and spending on appearance to avoid feeling empty or criticised.
Example of how you can create alignment
If you were to be the star of your financial future 3 years from now, what habits would you transform today?
Connector
Your faith and optimism that money will always be available keeps you from feeling much, if any, financial stress. Yet this same innocent quality that believing you’ll always being taken care of can cause you to lack financial independence or blindly trust the handling of financial details to others. Your lack of concern about money can cause you to be taken advantage of financially or keep you from creating wealth, yet this is likely not something you often think about. Since money is an important aspect of empowering yourself, why not focus a portion of your energy on educating yourself and taking care of your life’s basic financial needs? The payoff will be a deepening of your sense of self-respect and self-worth.
Strengths and gifts
You are trusting and resilient, you have faith and optimism in everything and everyone and you are great at creating valuable relationships.
Challenges
Feeling overwhelmed with basic financial details and not feeling empowered with money.
Example of how you can create alignment
If you were solely responsible for your money management, what are 8 financial details you need to know?
Maverick
Your creativity when it comes to generating money is amazing. But balance isn’t something you often value or find exciting, which can lead you into situations of creating extreme financial highs and lows. Ironically, by focusing your energy and talents on creating sustainable income, you’ll achieve the rich success you crave.
Strengths and gifts
You are clever, flamboyant and charismatic and you’re excellent at structuring deals and handling financial complexity.
Challenges
Gambling with financial security and perhaps sometimes getting caught in feeling the need to win approval.
Example of how you can create alignment
What is the simplest, most practical way you could create a year’s income within the next 90 days?
Nurturer
Your desire to be of service often inspires you to share your financial resources. But what you see as selfless generosity can easily create enabling relationships and problematic boundaries with the people you want to help, plus sow seeds of resentment or martyrdom within you. It’s not unusual for your giving to even end up compromising your own financial stability. The people in your world, and in the world at large, need support, remember that giving can take many forms.
Strengths and gifts
You are giving, devoted, reliable, generous and loyal.
Challenges
Feeling the need to rescue and abandonment of self.
Example of how you can create alignment
If giving money were not an option for you, what other ways could you help the people who are important to you?
Romantic
You know how to use money to enjoy your life, and often spend it because you feel you deserve it or you want to indulge the people you care about. But spending can be a cover-up to avoid feelings of emptiness, an absence of love or a lack of feeling valued and acknowledged, and the thought of not buying something you want can cause feelings of resistance or defiance. Yes, life is to be enjoyed but not if the expense of it distracts you from creating wholeness and self-worth from the inside out. Why not focus your considerable energy on creating meaning and worth in your life, beyond which money can’t buy?
Strengths and gifts
You are luxuriant, abundant, pleasure-seeking and generous with others, and you believe there will always be more.
Challenges
Flamboyant spending and ignoring or avoiding anything to do with finances.
Example of how you can create alignment
What are 8 ways you could enjoy the perfect day, without spending any money?
Ruler
Your drive to create makes you an unstoppable, passionate force for making a big impact and significant income. For you, money measures your level of achievement and accomplishment. While outwardly admired for your successes, the danger is in measuring your inner sense of value by your bank balance. While outwardly successful, fear is often your driving force. Since you are a natural at leading, accomplishing and innovating, why not challenge yourself to focus your ambitious nature on the soul work of finding your highest and truest source of self-worth? The payoff of creating emotional freedom and significance at the soul level will be priceless.
Strengths and gifts
You are courageous, visionary and determined, you are passionate about creating an empire where everyone thrives and you are great at being decisive and creating value.
Challenges
Always chasing a moving money target, never feeling there’s enough money and not indulging in enjoying life in the moment.
Example of how you can create alignment

Want to know a whole lot more?
If you are intrigued and are fed up with:
- having a rocky relationship with money
- overgiving, overdelivering and undercharging when it comes to your business
- not being able to set up strong boundaries and make other people (or even yourself) respect them
- always rescuing others
- feeling resentful because of all of the above
- not being able to stick to your money goals (you find this soooo boring!)
- not having enough money to support the causes that are dear to your heart
- (I could go on and on and on…)
then I would like to invite you to book a FREE 20-minute consultation with me where I can do a short SMA reading for you and explain to you in a bit more detail what is super specific to YOU, especially if you have a tie or two in your top three archetypes (for example, if both Alchemist and Connector score 28 as your top two archetypes). It will also be your opportunity to ask me a question or two about SMA 😊
I am your Moola Doula and here to help you birth a new money story.
