Sound Bites:

“I have that dream big gene, I guess.” (02:40)

“We hit certain points in life where it’s like all arrows are pointing that way, so go that way. Even though that way is scary, and uncertain, and unknown. The feeling of going the known path just feels like boredom and being stifled.” (05:00)

“It’s amazing how quickly we start achieving our goals when other people really connect with us and like us and feel relaxed in our presence.” (15:38)

“Once we know whatever belief or misperception is causing the stress and we can talk about it, we can challenge it and change it and take on something new.” (18:14)

“I say to many of my clients, ‘Your good enough is better than most people’s best.’” (20:44)

“I would say it’s still a struggle. There’s still an uncertainty in my business. I do not have a guaranteed paycheck.” (32:44)

“I think the most important thing as a business owner to do is to keep letting people know that you’re in business.” (34:29)

“As a coach, a lot of times people are buying you. They’re buying the energy that you bring.” (37:51)

“It’s been since I started my business that I truly felt that I was living my life’s purpose. And that is so fulfilling and gratifying” (40:32)

“Zen Money to me has an energetic flow. It’s moving, it’s nurturing, it’s taking care of us. I would say Zen Money is the money that heals and restores us.” (47:58)
