In this conversation, I explore the multifaceted relationship individuals have with money, emphasising the importance of understanding the different parts of oneself that influence financial behavior. I encourage listeners to shift from a fixed identity of being 'good' or 'bad' with money to recognising the various parts that contribute to their financial decisions. By fostering self-compassion and curiosity, individuals can navigate their financial patterns more effectively and create a healthier relationship with money.

Have you ever been asked what you charge, and felt something happen before you had even said the number? That half a second where your mind is already running. Is that too much? Is it not enough? What will they think of me?
If you know that feeling well, you are in very good company.
This is part two of the Love and Money Series, and today I explore the fear of being paid what you are worth. It shows up most for us as sole traders, because when the business is you, being paid can feel deeply personal. But the fear is rarely about the number itself. It is about the meaning we have attached to it.
In this episode I walk through the five ways this fear shows up:
- Overdelivering to feel you have earned the right to be paid
- Dropping your price before anyone has even asked
- Rushing or softening the number as it leaves your mouth
- Overexplaining and justifying your fee
- Avoiding naming a price at all

05:27 Signs of Fear in Pricing Conversations
10:49 The Impact of Undercharging
14:08 Shifting Mindsets: From Sole Trader to CEO
15:54 Practical Steps to Embrace Your Worth
We look at the resentment cost of undercharging, the shift from sole trader to CEO of your own business, and the questions that opens up. What does the business need to run profitably? What is the market willing to pay for the result I create? What is the cost of undercharging?
And I leave you with one practice for this week. Say your price, then pause. Don't soften it. Don't explain it. Just sit with it, and notice what arises in your body. This is my fee. I am allowed to be paid for the work I do. It is safe for me to receive.
Because being paid what you are worth rests on a much bigger question underneath the number: whether you believe you are allowed to receive, and whether you can hold your price steady enough for someone else to trust it.
So carry this with you. What do you make money mean, in the moment when someone offers to pay you for your work?
A lot of this work is about worthiness, boundaries, people pleasing, and inner worth. If you would like a safe space for these deeper conversations, come and join us in the Money Circle. It is our free online community, with a monthly newsletter of resources and a live monthly call where we hold space for exactly this.

In this conversation I discuss the transformative impact of AI on the financial services industry, emphasising the importance of human skills and emotional intelligence in financial advice. I explore how AI can handle technical aspects of financial planning but cannot replicate the deep human connection and understanding required to navigate clients' emotional relationships with money. I introduce the concept of 'money story types' and highlight the growing need for financial coaching as a means to address the emotional side of money management. I conclude by asserting that the future of financial advice will rely on professionals who can integrate AI's capabilities with their own human insights to better serve clients.

ught: will people still want to hear from me when AI can give them information instantly? I felt panic - who am I if I'm not a content creator? If you've been feeling that uncertainty too, this episode will completely reframe everything, because it's not really about AI at all. Maybe you're worried AI will replace you or your clients won't need you anymore. Here's what I want to explore - what if this is about something we've been avoiding our entire lives: uncertainty. We spend so much time creating certainty in our careers, finances, and identities, then AI reminds us none of this was ever certain to begin with. Today, I'm diving into why uncertainty equals danger in our nervous systems, how every moment of expansion came through uncertainty, and the three Rs to navigate this threshold - release your performance-based identity, reconnect to your inherent worth, and reclaim your irreplaceable humanity, because AI isn't stealing your identity, it's revealing how you relate to uncertainty itself.

The way you've been relating to money is about to fundamentally shift, not because of what AI can do, but because of what it's forcing you to feel. Maybe you're overwhelmed by AI, worried about being replaced, or anxious about putting financial information into something that might not be secure. Here's what I've discovered - that fear isn't really about AI at all. When I first started using AI around money, my entire body felt incredible fear: would people still need me? But all those AI fears - will it replace me, am I techie enough, which tool should I choose - they're the exact same money fears that have been showing up for years, just in a new disguise. Today, I'm exploring why AI is holding up a mirror to our three core beliefs about productivity, worth, and scarcity, how to use AI safely without exposing personal information, and why the real question isn't "will AI replace me" but rather "what becomes possible when I stop replacing my humanity with productivity."

As a former financial adviser, I love to geek out on money apps and AI, and I've tested dozens of tools over the last year with five standing out as absolute game-changers. Today, I'm sharing the five AI tools that will help you make better financial decisions: Claude for spotting spending patterns and acting as your behavioural money therapist, ChatGPT for quick financial scenario planning, Perplexity for fact-checking and researching financial products, Notebook LM which turns boring pension statements into engaging podcasts you can listen to on dog walks, and Snoop which monitors your bills to catch overcharges (it found me two forgotten Amazon Prime subscriptions!). I'm diving into exactly how to use each tool ethically, the specific prompts that get the best results, and why these tools aren't about replacing human advice but about removing the overwhelm that keeps you avoiding your finances - because sometimes the right tool can put £95 back in your pocket in just five minutes.

As a former financial adviser who's worked with hundreds of people around money, one of the biggest barriers to good financial management isn't the lack of knowledge - it's that gap between knowing what you should do and actually doing it. This gap is created by overwhelm, decision paralysis, fear that money will run out, or shame from comparing yourself to others. This is where AI, when used properly, can remove that friction in ways I've never seen before. Today, I'm sharing my personal framework for building an AI money coach - not just using ChatGPT for random questions, but creating a personalised tool that actually improves your financial decisions. I'm diving into the three essential elements (context, cues, and clarity), what AI can and cannot do with money, how to build safeguards so you're using it effectively not dangerously, and the exact prompts I use - because the future of personal finance isn't about replacing humans with AI, it's about using AI to bridge the gap between knowing and doing.

Have you ever noticed that no matter how hard you work or how skilled you become, you seem to hit the same income ceiling over and over again?
There's a fascinating concept in financial psychology called your financial set point - an unconscious income limit that most of us cap at roughly the same level our parents earned when we were growing up. When you try to exceed this invisible ceiling, your brain literally hits the emergency brake, triggering self-sabotage, guilt, or an overwhelming sense that you don't deserve more. I experienced this myself when my mum saw my bank statement showing over £50,000 in one month and I immediately downplayed it, feeling this deep shame about earning more easily than she ever did. Today, I'm unpacking why your childhood money environment is a stronger predictor of your financial success than your education or business skills, how unconscious loyalty patterns keep you stuck at your parents' income level, and the four essential steps to gradually expand your nervous system's capacity to hold more wealth - because breaking these patterns isn't just about you, it's about resetting the entire financial landscape for the next generation.

What if the financial freedom you've been told is the one thing you should be focusing on - the independent, the self-sufficient, the doing it all for yourself - is actually the very thing that's been keeping you from the enriched abundant life you're perhaps seeking? On today's show, I want to talk about financial freedom, and it's so interesting that every single book in the personal finance space, including my own book "It's Not About the Money," refers to this topic as a very individual pursuit. I'm exploring why everything we've been taught about financial independence might actually be the very thing stopping us from creating a better life for ourselves and for others around us.

Traditional goal setting attaches your worthiness to a specific outcome, which means your whole body and nervous system code the entire process as a task you're measured against. If you fear failure, setting a goal activates fear instantly and your body goes into contraction. If you fear success - what happens if I actually achieve this? - you unconsciously self-sabotage. Instead, I'm sharing my four-step money visioning ritual that honours the season you're in, brings all parts of yourself along for the journey, and creates a future so exciting and inspiring that you'll want to follow it rather than feeling like you have to push yourself into rigid frameworks.

Is there this part of you that genuinely wants more, but another part of you that's pushing money away? What I'm about to share in today's episode might actually come as a bit of a relief - your money struggles aren't necessarily about what you know or what you don't know, and they're not even really just about what you think or what you believe. I've been able to bottle it all down to seven somatic resets, seven states of being that live in your body, seven ways that your body has essentially learnt to relate to money. I know this because I've lived all seven of them, even with my qualifications as a financial adviser, even whilst sitting across from clients helping them plan and invest their money. I still felt that familiar sensation of stress, tightness in my chest, not believing I was worthy of having money, and that sense that no matter what I did, I couldn't keep hold of it. Today, I'm walking you through all seven of these states - from separation to wholeness, scarcity to sufficiency, independence to interdependence, transactional to relational, forcing to allowing, fear to love, and forever to seasons - what they actually feel like in your body, why they keep you in these patterns, and the very specific invitation that's going to support you in shifting your relationship with money for good.

How much more money would you need to earn to stop worrying about money? Is it £10,000 more, £20,000, £50,000? I've worked with many clients earning six figures, people who have millions in their bank account, who lie awake at night with the same money anxiety. The myth that more money will solve all of your money problems may be the myth that's keeping you broke - not because you're not earning enough, but because you're chasing a target that never stops moving.
Let me tell you about when I finally earned "enough" - I'd spent years convinced that the next pay rise would create certainty and financial stability. When I hit that number at 32, here's what happened: absolutely nothing. The financial anxiety was still there, the hypervigilance around checking my bank balance was still there, and that's when I realised it wasn't an income problem - I had a safety problem.
Today, I'm breaking down why this myth is so destructive, how lifestyle creep and attachment patterns scale with your income, and the four practical steps to build genuine safety with money at any income level, because true wealth isn't about your bank balance - it's about healing your relationship with yourself.

How many times have you been told that your money problems are just a mindset issue? That if you're not wealthy yet, it's just because you've got money blocks or you're not aligned? Well, what if I told you that's actually emotional gaslighting designed to keep you blaming yourself instead of seeing the real problems?
Welcome to the second episode in my Money Myths series where I'm busting the myths and beliefs that keep you stuck.
Today, we're unpacking the myth that says you have to have a millionaire mindset to become wealthy. Now, I talk a lot about mindset - it is incredibly important - but it's not the only thing you need to become a millionaire. This belief glosses over systemic barriers like the gender pay gap, racial discrimination, caring responsibilities, and disability factors that affect your ability to build wealth. It completely bypasses money trauma and shames people for not being positive enough, creating toxic positivity that disconnects you from your actual lived experience.
Instead of vision boards and affirmations, I'm sharing why we need to feel safe and grounded with money first, plus four practical steps to build genuine financial resilience that acknowledge both your internal patterns and the external systems working against you.

Is getting better with money on your resolution list again this year? Maybe you've already downloaded a budgeting app, promised yourself you're going to track every penny, or sworn that this is the year you finally get it together. Well, here's what no one actually tells you - budgets don't work. If they actually did work, you wouldn't need to keep making the same resolution year after year.
Welcome to the first episode in my Money Myths series, where I'm busting the myths and beliefs that keep you stuck and stressed.
Today, we're tackling one of the most persistent money myths: "I just need a strict budget to stop overspending." Let me tell you as a recovered emotional overspender, this does not work. Budgets are built on willpower and they ignore the real reasons we overspend - they can actually trigger a response to restriction, create money shame when we don't stick to them, and treat the behaviour of spending rather than how you feel in that moment before you spend.
Instead, I'm sharing why a values-based approach works when traditional budgeting fails, plus practical tips for neurodivergent money management and permission to align your spending with what actually matters to you.

What does it really take to walk away from a six-figure consultant surgeon salary?
This week, I'm delighted to chat with Dr Bex Winterborn, who did exactly that after 25 years in the NHS. From experiencing PTSD after losing a colleague during surgery, to burnout during the pandemic, to that pivotal moment when she realised she was avoiding theatre lists - Bex shares her powerful journey of rediscovering purpose beyond the identity she'd held since she was seven years old.
We explore the courage it takes to remove the armour and mask we wear in high-pressure careers, why embodying your next chapter before you leap is essential, and how coaching and parts work helped Bex recognise she was multifaceted beyond just being a doctor.
If you're in a well-paid job but know there's something bigger calling you, this conversation about finding joy, setting boundaries, and understanding that it's absolutely okay to have different chapters in your life is going to really resonate with you.

I lost one really deep friendship when I started changing my relationship with money - not because I became a different person or got arrogant, but because I stopped being who they needed me to be. What nobody talks about when breaking money cycles is that sometimes the people closest to you have the most invested in keeping you exactly where you are.
This is the conversation I've been avoiding since we started this series because it's messy, it's painful, and it doesn't have a tidy solution. But if you've been setting boundaries and healing your relationship with money, you've probably already felt it - that shift, that distance, that uncomfortable realisation that your growth is threatening to some people.
Today, I'm talking about the hidden cost of financial healing that nobody really warns you about, the five relationship patterns that can't survive your evolution with money, and the actual conversation scripts you need when relationships begin to shift.

What would happen if you stopped holding all the responsibility with money? If you weren't the rescuer or the provider, the generous one - would people still value you and would you still matter?
That may sound like a rather odd question, but right now there are thousands of people searching terms like "Why do I always put others first with money?" and "How do I stop feeling guilty spending money on myself?" because so many of us are trapped in what I refer to as the caretaker money cycle, where your mind and your body have literally learnt that giving money away equals safety, love, and worthiness. And that programming is essentially bankrupting your future.
Whether you're a business owner who's paying everybody else's salary before your own, a mother funding your adult children's lives whilst living on scraps, a partner who ignores your own needs to keep the peace, or perhaps somebody supporting an aged parent at the expense of your own retirement - the scenario changes, but the pattern is the same.
Today, I'm going to show you why financial caretaker exhaustion isn't about being generous, and I'm going to give you an emotional toolkit exercise to help you break free from these cycles, along with some practical steps as well.

If money has been feeling rather heavy for you recently, or maybe you're waking up in the middle of the night worrying about money, I want you to first of all know that you are not alone and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you if you have debts.
This episode is specifically about debt and shame, and I'm going to be sharing what happened for me when I was in £35,000 of debt - a story I've rarely told publicly because of the deep shame I carried around it for years. The truth is, debt isn't just about the numbers on a statement; it's about the weight of secrecy, the fear of judgement, and the exhausting cycle of hiding your financial reality whilst trying to maintain a successful exterior.
Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own debt journey, why shame keeps us trapped in destructive patterns, and the exact steps that helped me break free - not just from the debt itself, but from the suffocating belief that owing money meant I was fundamentally broken.

As a financial expert who's helped thousands of business founders to steady their income, I can honestly tell you this: you've already done the hard part - people want what you sell. Let's make the good months stick. Feast and famine cycles aren't personal failures, and it's not even your marketing. It's a pattern that your body and your business have learnt to repeat.
Today, I'm going to widen your capacity to receive money, to hold and to give, and pair it with some really simple, practical planning strategies so that consistency feels safe and not scary. I'll walk you through a monthly money date and a clear 90-day look ahead so you can spot those revenue cliffs early, plus a gentle body reset that you can use when money speeds up or slows down.

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by a money decision that you've Googled "best savings account," opened 17 tabs, read 18 articles, and ended up way more confused than when you started?
Here's the trap we all fall into: when we're stressed about money, we think the answer is more information - one more podcast, one more YouTube video, one more expert opinion that will finally make it all make sense. But that information is actually making the overwhelm worse.
Today, as a former financial adviser with 20 years of experience, I'm showing you what's actually happening in your brain when you try to make decisions whilst feeling overwhelmed, and why the best thing you can do for your finances might be to stop consuming and start clearing. Research shows we're processing the equivalent of 174 newspapers worth of information every single day, and when we're in information overload, our decision-making shifts from our considered mind to our reactive, survival-orientated brain - which is pretty catastrophic when it comes to making sound financial choices.

I've spent the last 10 years trying to find the perfect financial management system for my business and personal finances, and here's what I've discovered: it doesn't matter which system you implement if the one thing avoiding the numbers is you. As a qualified financial advisor and somatic money expert, I can tell you with absolute certainty that financial avoidance has nothing to do with lack of financial education - it's a protection response your body has learned. When you retrain that response, money stops feeling like a threat and starts feeling like simple, neutral information.
Today, I'm guiding you through one simple somatic money practice that will prove to your body and mind that money is safe, and I'm sharing how I went from three months of complete avoidance to checking my numbers daily with curiosity, joy, and ease. Because here's the truth: you can have all the financial knowledge in the world, but if you can't look at your numbers, you can't use any of it.

Have you ever achieved a major financial milestone - landed a big client, hit a revenue goal, or finally built up your savings - only to watch yourself systematically self-sabotage it within weeks? Maybe you suddenly took on underpriced work, made an impulsive expensive purchase, or created some drama that torpedoed your success. If this sounds familiar, I need you to understand something crucial: this isn't weakness, it's not a character flaw, and it's not lack of willpower. This is your nervous system literally treating financial success like a threat to your existence.
Right now, thousands of people are searching terms like "why do I self-sabotage when things go well" or "why can't I hold onto money" because they're experiencing what I call success dysregulation - where your body cannot tolerate the feeling of having more, so it creates chaos to bring you back to the familiarity of struggle.
Today, I'm diving into why you might be getting 80% of the way to your financial goals and then something just happens, and more importantly, how to rewire your nervous system so you can finally keep what you've created. Chapters

If you've ever caught yourself saying "I don't want to price myself out of the market" or felt that familiar guilt creeping in when considering raising your prices, you're about to discover why being the affordable option is actually a financial trauma response. The hidden cost of undercharging isn't just the money you're leaving on the table - it's the cycle of resentment, exhaustion, and trauma responses that keep you trapped in patterns of unworthiness. In my book "It's Not About The Money," I explore how under-earning often starts as a trauma response where we overwork to prove ourselves, yet still feel undeserving. Today, I'm diving into why you've learned that charging less keeps you safe from rejection, but what's really happening is that every time you undercharge, you're training your body to believe you're worth less. This belief doesn't just affect your pricing - it rewires how you show up in every area of your life, creating a perfect storm where all three money zones get hijacked simultaneously.

Have you ever looked at your bank account and thought "this should feel like enough," yet still felt that familiar knot of anxiety in your stomach whenever money came up? You're absolutely not alone in this experience.
This week, I'm diving deep into why you can feel broke even when you have money - and it has nothing to do with the actual numbers in your account. The real culprit? Your nervous system and how it's been programmed to recognise what feels "safe" around money. If you grew up hearing "we can't afford that" or witnessed your parents stress about finances, your body has been encoded with those scarcity patterns, even if you're now financially secure as an adult.
Today, I'm sharing the 10-minute daily practice that completely rewired my relationship with worthiness and abundance - because the truth is, you can't think your way out of feeling unworthy, you have to feel your way into a new reality.

In this deeply personal episode, I explore why having more money often doesn't make us feel safer, and why this isn't actually a money problem - it's a meaning problem. Drawing from my own experience of nearly losing my youngest son Thomas twice in his first five weeks of life, I reveal how our "not enough" programming around money often stems from our deepest fears about being unprepared when someone we love is at risk.
Through my three-zone model of receiving, holding, and giving, I break down how these inherited money beliefs create an exhausting cycle where we work harder but can never earn, save, or give enough to feel truly secure - because the issue was never about the money itself, but the unconscious meanings we've attached to it.

In this episode, I'm joined by Chris Ducker, serial entrepreneur, founder of Youpreneur, and author of the brand new book "The Long-Haul Leader." Chris shares his deeply personal journey from building multi-seven figure businesses whilst burning himself out, to being diagnosed with phase three adrenal failure, depression, and anxiety all in the same day in 2021. What emerged from that breakdown was a complete reimagining of what sustainable success looks like - moving away from hustle culture towards what he calls "long-haul leadership." We explore his Life OS framework with its four key domains, why hobbies aren't frivolous but essential for productivity, and how Chris completely redefined his relationship with money from chasing it to using it as a tool for creating the life he actually wants to live.

Episode Overview In this episode, I'm joined by Alexis Kingsbury, a multi-entrepreneur who started his first business at just 12 years old, yet failed with six consecutive businesses throughout school and university. After being told by a management consultant that he'd "never be able to build a team" and having his first employee quit saying his company had "no culture, no processes and no proper ways of working," Alexis has gone on to build two successful software businesses and a consulting practice serving over 600 organisations worldwide, including Google, Sony and Pepsi. Most importantly, he's completely removed himself from day-to-day operations and regularly takes trips around Europe with his family. If you've ever felt trapped working in your business rather than on it, this conversation will completely change how you think about scaling sustainably.

Episode Overview In this episode, I'm delighted to chat with Michelle Taylor, founder of Women in Wealth and host of the "Talk Wealthy to Me" podcast, who shares her incredibly powerful and vulnerable money story. From growing up with two parents who had completely opposite approaches to money, to being diagnosed with leukaemia at 17, to finding herself unable to buy a magazine at the airport because four credit cards were declined - Michelle's journey is a masterclass in resilience and financial transformation. Her story beautifully illustrates how our early money experiences shape us, and more importantly, how we can rewrite our financial narrative at any stage of life.

In this episode, I'm delighted to chat with Jason Graystone, author of "Always Free" and investor who achieved financial freedom at just 30 years old. Jason and I actually met on a ski trip with Daniel Priestley earlier this year, and I couldn't resist having him on the show to discuss his remarkable journey from hiding behind the sofa as bailiffs knocked on the door in his childhood council estate, to building a half-million subscriber YouTube channel and living completely financially free on his West Sussex farm. We dive deep into why most people never achieve financial freedom, the psychology of money, trading strategies, and what true freedom really means when it's not about the money.

In this comprehensive masterclass episode, I share everything I learned during my 15 years working inside banks as a trained financial adviser, watching thousands of intelligent people convinced they weren't good with money. After discovering that you don't need to be rich to get started, don't need financial qualifications, and definitely don't need to love numbers to build wealth like the top 1%, I'm pulling back the curtain on the complete system that's helped thousands break free from financial stress. This is your complete guide to transforming your relationship with money - covering both the practical strategies and the psychology that banks don't want you to know about - regardless of your starting point.

In this episode, I chat with the incredible duo behind Bucket List Bombshells - Cassie and Shay - who met serendipitously in a Mexican coffee shop after both quitting their corporate jobs with one-way tickets. Together, they've built a freedom-based, service-based business generating over £4.5 million in revenue whilst serving thousands of women worldwide. We dive deep into their contrasting money relationships, the power of visionary-integrator partnerships, and the lessons learned from scaling sustainably.
Episode Highlights: The Coffee Shop Origin Story - 2013 * How both women independently decided corporate wasn't their dream and quit their jobs for one-way tickets to Mexico * Meeting in a Playa del Carmen coffee shop through a mutual friend * The early question that shaped everything: "What does the dream life look like for us?" * Building a business around the life they wanted to live, not the other way around * How having a mentor with an online business provided a blueprint for possibility
The Contrasting Money Relationships in Partnership Shay's Journey (The Integrator):
- Fast money growth creating challenges with holding wealth and abundance
- Spending money as quickly as it came in during early success phases
- Shiny object syndrome and following other successful entrepreneurs without understanding their mechanics
- Identity becoming tied to daily revenue numbers and success/failure cycles
- Learning to separate self-worth from business metrics
- Now finding joy in CEO dashboards and empowering clients with financial clarity
Cassie's Journey (The Visionary):
- "Ignore the numbers and work harder" mentality from early conditioning
- Type A personality believing harder work = more money
- Leading to burnout from constantly doing more: more offers, more team, more marketing
- Going from 25 different offers to just one at their simplification point
- Learning that scaling comes from amplifying what works, not adding complexity
Essential Financial Metrics Every Business Owner Should Track 1. Lead Generation Numbers: How many leads monthly from each source (word of mouth, Instagram, networking) 2. Lead to Sales Call Conversion: Aiming for baseline 50% conversion rate 3. Sales Call Conversion Rates: Most entrepreneurs guess these numbers rather than tracking accurately 4. Revenue vs. Profit Focus: Focusing on profit margins rather than just revenue figures 5. Paying Yourself First: Fixed salary approach rather than percentage-based payments to create stability
The Simplification Revolution - From 25 Offers to 3 * How complexity became the enemy of clarity and growth * The realisation that confused minds don't buy and confused CEOs don't lead well * Discovering that more offers don't equal more money * Learning to say "not right now" to opportunities and creative ideas * The power of channelling creativity outside the business through art classes and hobbies
Key Business Philosophy Shifts Business as a Marathon, Not Sprint:
- Recognising different seasons in business and life
- Moving away from "always more" mentality toward sustainable growth
- Understanding that there's never enough when the goal is always more
- Finding peace through stepping back, scaling back, and simplifying
Creative Boundaries for Visionaries:
- Not asking the business to serve all creative needs
- Finding outlets for creativity outside revenue-generating activities
- Understanding the difference between one-time creative pursuits and sustainable business offers
- Focusing on refinement and consistency rather than constant new launches
Partnership Dynamics and Communication * The importance of communicating when things don't feel aligned * Learning to trust yourself again after perceived failures * Not assuming your partner shares the same passion and vision at all times * The breakthrough that comes from honest communication about misalignment * How addressing issues strengthens both partnership and connection to vision
Practical Tools and Strategies The Buyer Persona Deep Dive:
- Going beyond surface-level target audience work
- Understanding dream clients down to what car they drive and podcasts they listen to
- Using real client emails and call language to refine messaging
- Leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT with detailed buyer personas for better content creation
- Using sales call transcripts to analyse money mindset blocks and selling patterns
Financial Stability Creation: * Creating business financial stability that supports desired lifestyle * Implementing profit-first principles with fixed salaries * Quarterly bonus structure similar to traditional employment * Removing the emotional roller coaster of percentage-based payments
Final Thought True freedom in business comes not from doing more, but from simplifying and amplifying what works whilst building around the life you actually want to live. Success is sustainable when you understand your natural strengths, communicate openly with partners, and create systems that support both financial growth and personal fulfilment.

Listen to The Future Of Money and AI With Natalie MacNeil podcast episode
In this vulnerable episode, I share the untold story behind hitting £50,000 months and how success nearly broke me mentally, emotionally, and physically. Rather than celebrating these income milestones, I reveal the shame, overwhelm, and toxicity that comes with scaling without boundaries - and the complete business transformation that saved my sanity.
The Moment That Changed Everything - Summer 2023 * How my mum discovering my £50K bank statement triggered intense money shame * The guilt of making money "easily" when others, including my mum, had to struggle * My immediate response: dismissing it as a "one-off" rather than owning my success * The realisation that my nervous system was rejecting wealth because it felt dangerous to have more than people I love
The Reality Behind the Success - What Nobody Talks About * Running 15 different courses and offerings simultaneously: mini courses, evergreen programmes, books, podcast, workshops, membership, certification, mastermind, pensions course, investing course, budgeting course * The overwhelming complexity of multiple revenue streams running at once * How my two biggest profit generators (12-month mastermind and signature money programme) required constant client acquisition * The crushing responsibility of paying team wages on top of my own income
The Neurodivergent Entrepreneur's Dilemma * How my 2023 ADHD diagnosis explained my love of creating and my overwhelm with complexity * The creativity trap: what was joyful and easy became my kryptonite * Why neurodivergent brains struggle with "more" - the million pieces of information running simultaneously * The toxic scaling trap fuelled by online business gurus pushing "make more, hire bigger teams, create more products"
My Great Simplification Journey - What I Actually Did * Taking August 2024 completely off (with a separate episode on how to do this) * Pausing my podcast for five months - the first break in five years * Closing my mastermind (biggest income generator) and stopping launches for my second biggest programme * Letting go of a key team member and hibernating whilst travelling Canada with my family * The breakthrough conversation with Richard Branson on Necker Island about his circle analogy
The Rule of Five Framework for Overwhelmed Entrepreneurs 1. One target market - you can't serve everybody without serving nobody 2. One problem solved - going deep rather than wide, partnering with others for different solutions 3. One offer - mastering one thing completely rather than multiple offerings 4. One platform - I chose LinkedIn and became top 30 money content creator in UK within 90 days 5. One year - committing to this focus for 12 months without wavering
My Personal Implementation Story * Returning to my core: financial coach training for professionals wanting to help clients with money * Focusing on my Money Narrative Clearing Framework as the one thing with biggest impact * Investing in LinkedIn mastery course and achieving top 30 UK money creator status * Four speaking opportunities in 90 days, including one at the O2 * Stripping back to part-time PA and couple of VAs only
The Financial Permission I Gave Myself * Living off investments and savings for a year to remove financial pressure * Paying myself from savings pots rather than staying in constant launch mode * Overcoming stories about "wealth experts should be making loads of money consistently" * Understanding my numerology: coming out of year 9 (completions/letting go) into year 1 (new beginnings) and now year 11 (spiritual teacher/volatile emotions)
The Success Lessons Nobody Teaches You Success Can Be Lonely:
- How entrepreneurship isolates you from meaningful connections
- Making 2025 my "year of relationships" - every decision based on improving relationships with self, others, and business collaborations
Success Trauma Is Real:
- How your nervous system can interpret success as danger
- Generational money patterns affecting permission to hold wealth
- The need to heal success trauma before scaling
Complexity Is the Enemy of Clarity:
- More offers don't equal more money - confused minds don't buy
- Confused CEOs don't lead well
- The power of saying "not right now" to ideas and opportunities
Creativity Needs Boundaries:
- Visionaries need creative outlets outside their business
- The danger of relying solely on business for fulfilment and joy
- What happens when you want to sell or retire - preparation for life beyond business
Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs Have Different Rules:
- Traditional business models can be harmful to neurodivergent brains
- Building business around family priorities and personal energy patterns
- Working 9-3, no evening webinars, extended wind-down time for nervous system regulation
Where I Am Now - The Results of Simplification * Significantly more space in my calendar and less stress * Lower revenue but exponentially more joy and fulfilment * Two focused businesses: UK financial coach training, Jersey personal brand with one container (Energy of Selling mini-mastermind) * Smaller, happier, more focused team with better time freedom * Dramatically improved mental health and expanded relationships * Recognition that wealth is built on focus, not complexity
Practical Action Steps for Overwhelmed Entrepreneurs 1. Audit your offerings - what can you cut that's not bringing joy or revenue? 2. Check your nervous system - is success feeling safe? Address money stories holding you back 3. Apply the Rule of Five - where can you simplify across all five areas? 4. Honour your neurodivergence - what actually works for your brain and energy?
Redefine success - give yourself permission to prioritise wellbeing over revenue
Final Thought This episode emphasises that real wealth isn't just about the money you make - it's about the life you get to live whilst making it. If your success is costing you your sanity, it's time to redefine what success looks like and feels like. My £50K months didn't make me happier; they just made me busier.

Listen to What I learnt from Sir Richard Branson
In this episode, I explore why we get stuck repeating the same frustrating money patterns despite reading books, listening to podcasts, and working on our mindset. Rather than blaming ourselves for being broken or lazy, I reveal the hidden psychology behind these behaviours - the secondary gains that keep us "stuck" because they're actually protecting us in some way.
Episode Highlights: Understanding Secondary Gains - The Hidden Benefits * How every financial behaviour, even destructive ones, serves a positive purpose * Why our unconscious mind creates patterns to keep us safe based on old information * The concept of secondary gains as "wrapping" around our biggest fears about money * How protection mechanisms that once served us may no longer be appropriate at 43 * The difference between conscious desires and unconscious protective patterns
My Personal Examples: Undercharging and Protection * How I stayed in undercharging patterns to avoid rejection and confrontation * The realisation that "you're too expensive" is about the other person's values, not my worth * My Thermomix story - how I value different things differently (£800 kitchen gadget vs. high-ticket mentoring) * The first-class flight dilemma and the guilt around spending £1,500 on comfort
The Four Most Common Secondary Gains Around Money 1. Undercharging Pattern:
- Primary fear: rejection, confrontation, and loss of "nice person" identity
- Benefits: more people say yes, avoiding uncomfortable negotiations, staying accessible
- How it prevents claiming full power and owning your brilliance
-
Applies to both business owners and employees negotiating pay rises
-
Chronic Saving Pattern:
-
Primary fear: uncertainty and lack of control
- Benefits: feeling protected, being the "responsible one," avoiding buyer's remorse
- How it maintains identity as the sensible person while others are "frivolous"
-
The trap of "never enough" despite growing bank balances
-
Money Avoidance Pattern:
-
Primary fear: adult responsibility and making wrong decisions
- Benefits: maintaining childlike innocence, having others take responsibility
- How chaos becomes an excuse to avoid goal-setting and risk-taking
-
Case study from my recent live coaching demonstration about staying in childlike patterns
-
Overspending/Impulse Pattern:
-
Primary fear: making big decisions and planning ahead
- Benefits: instant emotional regulation, dopamine hits, maintaining victim identity
- How it helps avoid future planning (especially challenging for neurodivergent brains)
- My personal pattern of spending everything to avoid making financial decisions
The Identity and Relationship Dynamics * How money patterns serve our relationships and keep peace * Client examples: fear of out-earning mentors, maintaining marriage dynamics * The "struggling artist" or "survivor" story identity * How staying financially small can protect us from jealousy and judgment * The secondary gain of maintaining harmony by not threatening others' positions
Spotting Your Own Secondary Gains - Key Questions * What do you get to avoid when you stay stuck? * What identity does this pattern allow you to maintain? * How do your money patterns serve your relationships? * What would you have to face if this pattern disappeared tomorrow? * Does the possibility of change feel scary, and why?
Working With Secondary Gains, Not Against Them * The importance of curiosity over judgment * How these patterns developed for good reasons and have been trying to protect us * My approach using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Matrix Re-imprinting * Combining somatic work with inherited family trauma modalities * The goal: making your financial future more exciting than the secondary gain
Practical Steps for Change * Honouring what the pattern has done for you with gratitude * Speaking directly to the protective parts: "Thank you for keeping me safe" * Working with the nervous system through gradual, sustainable changes * Finding healthy ways to meet the same emotional needs differently * Why incremental price increases work better than dramatic jumps
The Neurodivergent Perspective * How ADHD and autism traits can make planning ahead feel unsafe * Why spending everything now avoids future decision-making pressure * Reference to previous episodes on managing money with ADHD * protective mechanisms

My Personal Financial Adviser Paradox * How I spent years giving brilliant financial advice whilst being unable to follow it myself * Why excess money never felt safe to hold - everything above day-to-day needs felt dangerous * The realisation that it wasn't about willpower, knowledge, or self-control * How inherited beliefs about money scarcity and "dirty money" from family arguments shaped my nervous system responses
Understanding Borrowed Beliefs - The Father Christmas Analogy * Borrowed beliefs as gifts in Father Christmas's sack - given with love but not all serving us today * How these beliefs often hold secondary gains and serve us in some way (usually safety) * The importance of returning unused "gifts" with love and gratitude to break generational patterns * Why changing our money relationship impacts every future generation
Where Inherited Money Scripts Come From * Family dynamics and early childhood experiences (my Warwick Castle story about my brother losing £20) * Religious and cultural influences on money beliefs * Specific historical events our families lived through * Personal money experiences that create lasting impressions * The crucial question: "In my family, money was..."
The Three Predictable Patterns of Borrowed Beliefs Low Receiving Pattern:
- Difficulty allowing money, opportunities, or compliments to come in
- Common beliefs: "Rich people are greedy," "Money corrupts people," "I don't deserve money"
- Shows up as: undercharging, deflecting compliments, turning down opportunities, feeling guilty about success
- My personal example of struggling with praise and awards
Low Holding Pattern:
- Brilliant at making money but terrible at keeping it
- Common beliefs: "Money disappears anyway," "Something bad happens when I have too much"
- Shows up as: impulsive spending after earning well, self-sabotage when successful, anxiety about bank balances
- Case study of my student hitting six-figure months then immediately booking lavish holidays
Low Giving Pattern:
- Fear-based hoarding rather than conscious saving
- Common beliefs: "I can't afford to be generous," "If I give, there won't be enough for me"
- Shows up as: difficulty investing in yourself, anxiety about spending on others, perpetual "rainy day" saving
The Family Money Tree Exercise * How to map out your family's money patterns across generations * Questions to explore: Was money talked about openly? Was it a source of arguments? Who controlled money? * Common inherited phrases and their impacts: + "Money doesn't grow on trees" = scarcity programming + "Money's the root of all evil" = spiritual guilt around wealth + "We can't afford it" = limitation mindset + "Money doesn't buy happiness" = pacifist money story
The Generational and Cultural Context * How survival strategies from the Great Depression or wartime still influence us today * Different cultural approaches to wealth - celebration vs. modesty * Gender dynamics between maternal and paternal money influences * The historical context that made these beliefs necessary for survival
Conscious Choice and Legacy Work * Recognising which beliefs served our families but no longer serve us * The power shift from unconscious inheritance to conscious choice * How this work creates transformation for coaches, therapists, and financial professionals * The ripple effect of changing generational money patterns
Final Thought This episode emphasises that changing our relationship with money isn't just personal work - it's legacy work that impacts every future generation. When we consciously choose which inherited beliefs to keep and which to lovingly release, we're not just transforming our own financial reality, we're changing the money story for generations to come.

Listen to the previous podcast episode - How Digital Currency Is Rewiring Our Money Mindset
In this episode, I share insights from my recent interview with UK-based global company Agon about the crucial link between mental health and money. Rather than offering quick fixes, I explore the deeper emotional landscape beneath financial anxiety and provide six key questions to help you understand what's really driving your money worries
Episode Highlights: Understanding the Root of Money Worries * Money itself isn't usually what we're worried about - it's what money represents * Common underlying fears: relationship security, business stability, lifestyle changes, and team obligations * How financial anxiety often stems from deeper meanings we attach to money * The difference between surface-level money concerns and their emotional foundations
The Emotional Spectrum of Money * My ladder metaphor: low-vibrational emotions at the bottom (shame, guilt, stress, anger) vs high-vibrational emotions at the top (gratitude, joy, happiness) * Why jumping straight to gratitude practices doesn't work when you're experiencing financial shame * The crucial middle step: acceptance of past decisions, inherited beliefs, and trauma patterns * How the nervous system creates fight-or-flight responses to protect us from perceived financial threats
The Complexity of Money Shame * Why shame is the hardest emotion on the spectrum to shift * How shame creates a freeze response in the nervous system, leading to financial avoidance * Recognising shame through language: the "shoulds" we place on ourselves ("I should be good with money," "I should be further ahead") * The importance of compassionate acknowledgement without judgement
Money and Neurodiversity * How traditional financial advice assumes neurotypical learning styles * Specific challenges for neurodivergent individuals: impulse control, budgeting, long-term planning * My personal ADHD experience: visual presentations, movement during money conversations, shorter but more frequent meetings * The correlation between depression, anxiety, and financial avoidance
Beyond Traditional Financial Solutions * Why practical solutions (budgets, investment plans) don't work without addressing underlying emotions * The problem with control-based planning when control doesn't feel safe * How impulsive spending patterns can sabotage investment strategies if safety concerns aren't addressed * The importance of understanding emotional patterns before implementing financial tools
Professional Development for Coaches * How coaches can support clients with money conversations without being qualified financial advisers * The power of holding space for psychological exploration around money decisions * Tools and frameworks for understanding the patterns behind financial behaviours * My financial coach certification programme and free 40-minute training
Final Thought This episode emphasises that healing our relationship with money requires understanding the emotional spectrum beneath our financial behaviours. Rather than bypassing difficult emotions to reach gratitude and joy, lasting change comes through accepting where we are, understanding our protective patterns, and working with our individual psychological makeup.

Episode Overview In this follow-up episode to last week's conversation with Natalie MacNeil, I explore the psychological and emotional shifts required as we move into the digital currency era. Rather than focusing on technical aspects, this episode addresses the deeper questions about trust, safety, and completely rewiring how our brains think about money.
Episode Highlights: The Physical vs Digital Money Mindset * Our brains are hardwired to equate real money with tangible things we can hold and count * Why Brits love property investing: it's "bricks and mortar" compared to US generations who prefer renting * Digital currencies ask us to place value in mathematics and community consensus rather than government * The challenge of trusting numbers on a screen that exist in cloud-based systems * How our nervous system was designed to equate safety with things we can physically control
Understanding Digital Currencies Simply * Digital currencies as numbers stored on a huge shared computer network * Unlike bank account numbers controlled by one institution, these are verified by thousands of computers worldwide * Bitcoin as "digital gold" - limited in supply and designed to hold value * Ethereum as a digital platform for building applications and communities * The key difference: controlled by mathematics and community, not governments or banks
The Generational Divide * Personal story of 11-year-old son naturally gravitating toward digital wallets * How younger generations view money as naturally existing "on a phone" * Older clients who still prefer printed bank statements * The comfort level with digital currencies often depends on how one grew up with technology
The Great Trust Transfer * Examining where we've been placing our trust: banks as the "safe option" * The 2008 financial crisis and recent bank failures like Silicon Valley Bank * COVID money printing diluting the value of every pound in bank accounts * The psychological shift from "the bank will look after my money" to "I am my own bank" * Why trusting ourselves feels riskier than trusting institutions that have failed us
The Pearl Analogy from Gene Keys * Richard Rudd's symbolism of the pearl as feminine metaphor for prosperity * How pearls form from pressure and irritation, not perfection * Wealth coming from responding with grace to challenges rather than ease * Digital currencies as the "pearl" - transforming financial friction into something beautiful * Moving from hoarding for ourselves to community and shared values
Practical Steps for Building Confidence * Using AI to create personalised learning courses about digital currencies * Starting with 2-3% portfolio allocation to learn gradually * The challenge of getting advice from traditional financial advisors due to regulatory constraints * Beginning with small enough amounts to sleep at night but large enough to genuinely learn * Treating it like learning any new skill - expecting a gradual comfort-building process
Educational Resources * Creating AI prompts to build beginner's guides tailored to individual situations * Recommendation for Natalie McNeil's AI Dream Team course for entrepreneurs * Catherine's book "It's Not About the Money" as foundational mindset work * The Get Investing Course for beginner investors with 50% discount code INVEST50OFF2024
Final Thought This transformation is about trust, not technology. We're living through one of the biggest shifts in how humans relate to money since moving away from the gold standard. The key is giving yourself permission to start learning gradually and allowing your nervous system time to adjust, just as it did with online banking.

In this forward-thinking episode, I'm joined by Emmy award-winning media entrepreneur and futurist Natalie MacNeil to explore the radical transformation of money happening before our eyes. From decentralised finance to community wealth-building, we dive deep into what the future holds for how we earn, save, and invest.
The Dragonfly Metaphor * Richard Rudd's story of the dragonfly as a metaphor for our current financial transformation * Water nymphs living underwater with no concept of flying - representing our current understanding of money * The biological impulse to climb up and transform into something completely different * How we're about to experience a shift as dramatic as moving from water to flying through air
From Individual to Collective Wealth * The shift from individual wealth-building to community-focused financial systems * How AI, robotics, automation, and blockchain will converge to change everything * The "zero cost margin scenario" - when robots can produce almost everything for nearly free * Why community and focusing on "being human" becomes crucial as machines replace human labour
Decentralised Finance Revolution * How fiat currency is backed by trust, not gold, creating vulnerability to government money printing * The concept of being "your own bank" through decentralised finance * Smart contracts replacing traditional intermediaries like bankers and lawyers * Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) returning power to communities * Real examples already happening: Tesla robo-taxis that can work and earn money autonomously
New Forms of Wealth Creation * Why future wealth won't come from jobs but from owning the machines and AI doing the work * Capital ownership becoming more crucial than ever * Examples of productive digital assets and cryptocurrency staking * The importance of creating a "low burn digital life" with location independence
Portfolio Allocation and Risk Management * Natalie's 15% crypto allocation vs traditional financial advice of 2-3% * The importance of age and risk tolerance in allocation decisions * Warning against valueless meme coins and alt coins without real utility * Focus on coins with genuine technology and long-term value propositions
Values-Based Investing in Digital Assets * Screening investments for environmental impact and sustainability * Using AI tools to analyse portfolio alignment with personal values * The concept of money as "a prayer" - investing with sacred intention * Gradual transition rather than wholesale portfolio changes
Practical Implementation Strategies * Using AI to create personalised financial education courses * Building custom GPTs as investment advisors with daily market updates * Incorporating emotional forecasting and fear/greed index monitoring * The tokenisation of real-world assets like property for easier transactions
Preparing the Next Generation * How financial education will be radically different in five years * Teaching children about digital assets and decentralised systems * The importance of understanding both traditional and future financial systems
Final Thought This transformation requires both practical preparation and spiritual growth. As robots free up human time, we must explore deeper questions about purpose, abundance, and what it means to be human. The future is moving from scarcity to abundance - but only for those who prepare and adapt.

Listen to podcast episode: Understanding your deep resistance to success through the lens of Gene Keys
In this episode, I welcome back financial psychology expert Dr. Brad Klontz to explore his latest book "Start Thinking Rich: The 21 Harsh Truths to Take You from Broke to Financial Freedom." Unlike his previous works, this book takes a direct, no-nonsense approach to addressing the mindset barriers that keep people financially stuck.
Episode Highlights: The Psychology Behind "Harsh Truths" * Why Dr. Klontz chose a more confrontational tone for this book * The difference between therapeutic approaches and direct accountability * How triggering language like "broke" and "rich" can break through emotional noise * The timing element: only 2 out of 10 people are ready for direct confrontation at any given time
Broke vs Poor: A Critical Distinction * "Broke" defined as a temporary state of having no money * "Poor mindset" as a dangerous mental framework that can keep you broke forever * The importance of attacking the mindset, not insulting people who lack money * How poor mindset can affect people earning £100,000+ per year
Developing a Rich Mindset Internal vs External Locus of Control
- The rare person who looks at their financial situation and says "my mindset got me here"
- Why people with external locus of control often stay broke forever
- The power of focusing on the 50% you can control rather than blaming external factors
- How internal locus of control is the strongest predictor of future wealth
The Money Avoidance Paradox
- People who believe "rich people are greedy" also tend to worship money more than others
- The internal struggle: "I hate money but desperately want to be rich"
- How negative beliefs about wealth create psychological barriers to achieving it
The Body-Mind Connection in Money Psychology * How financial trauma passes down through generations via DNA changes * The fight-or-flight response around money stored in our bodies * Why poverty creates survival behaviours that later keep people stuck * The importance of acknowledging ancestral trauma whilst moving beyond it
The Social Dynamics of Wealth * Why people sabotage themselves when they achieve financial success * The tribal psychology: we're wired to stay within similar socioeconomic groups * How friends and family unconsciously sabotage your financial growth out of love * Dr. Klontz's personal experience moving away geographically to manage this dynamic
Teaching Children About Money * Wealthy families have significantly more money conversations than middle-class families * Dr. Klontz's strategies with his children: emphasising giving, investing, and hard work * The importance of saying "that's not how we choose to spend our money" rather than "we can't afford it" * How digital money makes spending easier and less emotionally connected
Practical Applications * Finding role models who have achieved your goals and share your background * The strategy of asking successful people for 20-30 minutes of their time for advice * Why surrounding yourself with people who have a "poor mindset" will hold you back * The fire (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement example of extreme opposite culture
Final Thought The key to developing a rich mindset starts with cultivating an internal locus of control. When facing any problem, ask yourself: "What red flags did I ignore? What can I do differently moving forward?" This shift from blame to personal agency is the foundation of wealth-building psychology.

In this episode, I welcome back international career and leadership expert Kathy Caprino to explore the concept of finding brave - why bravery is essential for breaking through personal and professional barriers, and how vulnerability can be a pathway to authentic power.
Episode Highlights: Kathy's Journey to Finding Brave * From an 18-year corporate career to becoming a therapist and coach * The pivotal moment of being laid off after 9/11, when her therapist asked: "Who do you want to be in the world?" * Training as a therapist and discovering that helping women bypass her own painful experiences became her calling * The realisation in 2018 that clients across different backgrounds were bringing the same core problems
The Seven Power Gaps Research with over 20,000 women revealed seven critical gaps that prevent people from thriving:
- Not recognising your special talents, abilities and gifts
- Communicating from fear, not strength
- Reluctance to ask for what you want and deserve
- Isolating from influential support
- Acquiescing instead of saying stop to unfair behaviour or mistreatment
- Losing sight of the thrilling dream you had for your life
-
Allowing the past to continue to shape and define you
-
98% of women surveyed and 90% of men had at least one of these gaps
- 75% of people had three or more gaps, indicating they weren't truly thriving
Redefining Power and Agency * Why many people resist the word "power" - associating it with control over others rather than personal agency * True power means the ability to shape yourself and what's in front of you through thinking, mindset, beliefs, and energy * The importance of understanding that we have agency - we always had it, but often weren't taught how to recognise or use it * How fear can create self-fulfilling prophecies through the energy we project
The Role of Vulnerability in Finding Brave * Kathy's definition of vulnerability: uncertainty, risk, and exposure (following Brené Brown's work) * Personal story about confronting her dentist about not wearing her retainer - choosing courage over comfort * How masks we wear are often shaped by early family dynamics and societal conditioning * The liberating conversation with her Greek mother about challenging authority
Practical Tools for Building Personal Agency * Career Path Self-Assessment: 13 pages of questions Kathy wishes someone had asked her at 22 * The importance of recognising talents beyond just learned skills * Reaching out to 10 people for LinkedIn recommendations to see yourself through others' eyes * Using personality assessments and alternative frameworks (numerology, astrology, human design) as mirrors for self-discovery
The Power of Animals as Teachers * Horse therapy example: how animals mirror our energy and leadership styles * Kathy's experience volunteering at a horse rescue - how sensitive animals reflect our authentic selves * The importance of collaborative leadership styles and knowing when to lead from different positions
Final Thought Nothing is wasted - even struggles and detours serve a purpose. Personal growth work is essential for career and leadership success. The key is to reclaim small pieces of joy and creativity that may have been "squashed out" over time.

In this episode, I explore how financial struggles often aren't money problems at all—they're courage problems. Whether you're hiding from financial conversations, struggling to charge what you're worth, or trapped in cycles of overspending, the real solution might lie in embracing vulnerability and getting "financially naked."
Episode Highlights: Understanding Money Ceilings * Many people unconsciously downplay financial success due to beliefs that having too much money is greedy or unfair * Money taboos keep us playing small with our financial goals * Financial identity creates "set points" where exceeding certain levels feels uncomfortable * When we exceed these set points, we experience identity disruption and unfamiliar territory * Our brain creates these ceilings to keep us "safe" in what's familiar
The Fear of Being Exposed * Common fears around money include questioning if we're "enough," if we "know enough," or if we've "left it too late" * Society teaches us that vulnerability equals weakness * We avoid seeking financial help because we don't want to be exposed as lacking knowledge * This avoidance creates cycles of indecision and stagnation
The Nature of True Vulnerability * Brené Brown defines vulnerability as uncertainty, risk, and exposure * Personal story of choosing vulnerability at the dentist despite fear of judgment * How making choices to be brave can break patterns of avoidance * The powerful freedom that comes from being honest about our struggles
Four Steps to Financial Vulnerability and Bravery 1. Choose to Be Brave
- Make a conscious decision to step into courage
- Ask yourself what's most important in this moment
-
Recognise when avoidance is more painful than vulnerability
-
Pull Apart the Stories We Make Up
-
The brain is wired to create and connect with stories
- Notice the narratives you're telling yourself about money
- Question whether these stories are true or just comfortable
-
Recognise when you're making assumptions about how others will respond
-
Acknowledge That Everyone Needs Help with Money
-
Even financial experts struggle with their personal finances
- 99.9% of financial coaches have needed help with their own money
- Learning about money is a continuous journey for everyone
-
You are not alone in needing guidance and support
-
Make Being Brave with Money a Decision
-
Choose one area of your finances to get brave with today
- Identify what conversation you've been avoiding
- Challenge the stories you're holding onto that aren't true
The Physical Experience of Financial Courage * Money beliefs live in our bodies, not just our minds * Contraction around money creates physical tension * Expansion through bravery changes our physical state * Our capacity to expand is directly connected to our capacity to give and receive * When we expand one area, we naturally expand everything
Final Thought Breaking through money ceilings isn't selfish—it's necessary to create bigger, more positive impacts with your work. It requires the courage to be vulnerable, to step into uncertainty, to take risks, and to expose yourself to your deepest money desires.

Episode Overview In this episode, following last week's announcement about my evolution as a money visionary, I celebrate surpassing half a million podcast downloads and explore why positive thinking alone often fails to transform our financial reality. Despite countless affirmations and good intentions, many intelligent and ambitious people struggle to create lasting change in their relationship with money.
Key Highlights Why Positive Thinking Fails with Money * Money beliefs are embodied experiences, not just thoughts in our minds * Financial patterns form at an early age and are stored in our nervous system * Many beliefs are unconscious or inherited from family generations * The "backfire effect" - when positive affirmations contradict embodied beliefs, resistance strengthens * Personal example of trying affirmations as a financial advisor while drowning in debt
Three Powerful Money Mindset Rituals 1. The Money Mirror Exercise
- Find a private space with a mirror where you won't be disturbed
- Hold physical money in your hand (notes rather than cards)
- Say affirmations while looking in the mirror: "I am worthy of receiving more money"
- Notice where resistance appears in your body - tension, anxiety, discomfort
- Breathe into areas of resistance and acknowledge these feelings
- Creates new associations between your identity and money
-
Client example: After two weeks of practice, an "enabler" type overcame discomfort with receiving money and began charging appropriately
-
Money Date with Your Future Self
-
Particularly helpful for "impulsive" or "pacifist" money story types
- Set aside 15-30 minutes of undisturbed time
- Visualise yourself 5, 10, 20, or 30 years in the future
- Imagine details: appearance, lifestyle, money habits, investments
- Ask questions: What decisions am I making? What habits helped me create this life?
- Connect body feelings with thinking mind
-
Anchors future identity into today's experience
-
Release Work
-
Physical practice designed to help let go of limiting beliefs
- Especially powerful for "architect" and "innovator" money story types
- Write down every negative or limiting money belief on paper
- Circle those with the strongest emotional charge
- Physically destroy the paper - burn it, tear it up, dissolve in water
- Take deep breaths and imagine feeling lighter as you release old stories
- Uses symbolism to signal to your unconscious mind that these beliefs no longer have power
Implementation Strategies * Consistency trumps intensity - commit to regular practice * Create habit stacks by attaching rituals to existing routines * Use environmental triggers like sticky notes or special candles * Track progress in a journal, even if just brief notes * Focus on self-accountability rather than external validation
Final Thought To create lasting change with money, we must engage our whole being - body, emotions, and mind - rather than relying solely on positive thinking. These embodiment practices bypass unconscious resistance by creating new neural pathways through consistent practice rather than forcing belief change through willpower alone.

In this deeply personal episode, I share reflections on my journey over the past 18 months and how my vision for my work is evolving. Looking back over nearly a decade of work in the psychology of money, I explain how this next phase represents not an abandonment of my previous mission, but an expansion to create greater impact.
Key Highlights My Journey So Far * Starting in financial services at age 18 and the shame of knowing all the practical money advice but not following it myself * The transformative power of discovering money psychology and how it changed my relationship with money * From weekly blogs to Facebook groups to launching the "In Her Financial Shoes" podcast five years ago * Mentoring financial advisors individually, then in groups, and eventually creating a certification programme during lockdown * The expansion beyond financial professionals to coaches and therapists who encounter money issues with their clients
Personal Evolution and Healing * Receiving an ADHD diagnosis 18 months ago that prompted deep internal work * The importance of "hiding in a good way" - turning inward to find visibility within myself * Working with numerology, life paths and gene keys to understand my deeper purpose * Being a mother to two boys and how this has expanded my perspective beyond women's financial empowerment
The Expanded Vision: Becoming a Global Money Visionary * Moving from helping women heal their relationship with money to becoming a leading authority in the financial space for all * Recognising how money itself is evolving - from digital currencies to decentralisation * The realisation that financial trauma affects everyone, not just women * Building a "bigger boat" rather than abandoning ship - expanding while maintaining emotional depth
Practical Changes Coming * Closing the Wealthy Woman School in September 2025 to create space for growing the Financial Coach Certification * Continuing certain programmes like "The Energy of Selling" for business owners * Building more relationships and collaborations with others in the financial space * Introducing more guest experts on the podcast, including some who might be considered competitors * Focusing on equipping others to help their clients with money beliefs
The Money Narratives Clearing Framework * Opening up this methodology to all professionals who want to incorporate emotional intelligence into money conversations * Recognising that while I can only reach so many people directly, I can equip others to create wider impact * New resources coming for existing coaches, including white-labelling opportunities for the Money Story Types tool
Final Thought Evolution isn't without challenges. The moments when we feel we're stepping back are often when we're gathering strength to move forward. True evolution isn't about who you leave behind, but who you're finally ready to include. The work of transforming our relationship with money is both deeply personal and profoundly collective, requiring courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to examine generational stories.

Episode Overview In this episode, I tackle the timely topic of investing during market volatility, particularly relevant as stock markets respond to President Trump's recent tariff announcements. For many investors, these uncertain times can trigger anxiety and fear, but I explain why volatility is actually normal, cyclical, and can present excellent investment opportunities for those with the right knowledge.
Key Highlights Understanding Market Sentiment * Warren Buffett's famous advice: "Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful" * The Fear and Greed Index as a valuable tool for measuring collective investor emotions * How buying during periods of extreme fear has consistently produced strong returns over time * The counterintuitive nature of successful investing - why it feels uncomfortable to go against the crowd
The Psychology of Market Cycles * Market sentiment follows predictable emotional patterns: + Disbelief → Hope → Belief → Thrill/Euphoria + Complacency → Anxiety/Denial → Panic → Depression + Then back to Disbelief as the cycle restarts * Understanding where you personally get caught in this emotional cycle * Common behavioural biases that affect investment decisions: + Loss aversion (feeling losses twice as strongly as gains) + FOMO (fear of missing out) + The endowment effect (overvaluing what we already own)
Recognising Your Own Emotions and Behaviours * Self-awareness as the most underrated investment skill * Research shows individual investors underperform markets by 2-4% annually due to emotional decisions * The value of keeping an investment journal to document feelings during market cycles * Understanding your risk tolerance and personal biases
Understanding Market Cycles * The four classic phases of economic cycles: Expansion, Peak, Contraction, Recovery * Different market sectors that typically outperform in each phase: + Expansion: Technology, consumer-based stocks + Peak: Financial sectors, industrial stocks + Contraction: Healthcare, consumer staples, utilities + Recovery: Materials, energy sectors * How to adjust portfolio weightings based on cycle phases
The Power of Correlation in Building Resilience * Correlation measures how different assets move in relation to each other * Understanding correlation coefficients: from -1 (opposite movement) to +1 (same direction) * Why true diversification requires assets with low correlation to each other * The 2022 example of both bonds and equities declining simultaneously * Building a portfolio that can weather different market conditions
Final Thought Successful investing is about time in the market, not timing the market. Research shows that missing just the 10 best days in the stock market can cut returns in half over decades. While market volatility might make many investors fearful, those prepared with the right strategies can use uncertain times as opportunities for growth.

Episode Overview In this episode, I explore the art of quarterly financial planning as we approach the start of a new quarter in 2025. Whether you've never created a financial plan before, have ambitious money goals gathering dust, or have had to pivot due to unexpected circumstances, this episode offers practical guidance on creating a financial roadmap that actually works.
Key Highlights Why Most Financial Plans Fail * Living by default rather than design - executing other people's priorities * Spending too much time responding to others' needs versus pursuing personal financial goals * Getting caught in the "urgency trap" and constantly firefighting * True financial wealth is created when focusing on important but non-urgent tasks
The Eisenhower Time Matrix for Financial Planning * Four quadrants based on urgency and importance * Most people spend their days trapped in urgent quadrants (important and unimportant) * Financial growth happens in the "important but not urgent" quadrant, including: + Regular review of spending patterns + Learning about investing + Building strategic relationships + Developing new income streams or offers * The value of regular money dates: 20 minutes a week on one financial area
Making Financial Goals Motivating * Don't just set empty money targets (e.g., "make £10,000") * Connect financial goals to deeper meaning and purpose * Ask: "What will this allow me to experience? How will my life change?" * Identify the feeling you're seeking: security, freedom, peace, expansion * Research shows we're more motivated by purpose than numbers
The Danger of Over-Planning * Setting too many financial goals leads to overwhelm and failure * The fear of spaciousness: filling calendars because emptiness feels unsafe * Follow the "one-three-five" rule: + One major financial goal + Three supporting goals + Five routine habits to maintain progress * Quality over quantity applies to financial goals * Over-planning often stems from scarcity thinking
Planning According to Seasons * Different quarters require different approaches to financial planning * Aligning financial activities with natural energy cycles: + Spring: Planting new seeds, starting projects, learning money skills + Summer: Execution and expansion (with family time consideration) + Autumn: Harvesting, reviewing, optimising systems and expenses + Winter: Resting, reflecting, preparing for next year's growth * Consider personal cycles: menstrual cycles, numerology cycles, energy patterns * The importance of recognising which season you're in with your financial journey
Final Thought Financial success comes from intentional planning aligned with values and natural energy cycles. Start with the next 90 days rather than trying to plan the entire year at once and allow flexibility for changes and adjustments along the way.

Episode Overview In this episode, I delve into how coaches, therapists and professionals can decode their clients' money language to uncover deeper beliefs and patterns around finances. By becoming attuned to specific words and phrases, practitioners can help clients identify unconscious money stories that may be limiting their financial wellbeing.
Key Highlights The Power of Money Language * The words we use around money often reveal our deepest beliefs and fears * Most money language is unconscious - clients don't realise what they're revealing * Listening carefully can unlock breakthroughs much faster than traditional approaches * Money language appears in conversations about pricing, investing, saving, spending and receiving
Becoming a Skilled Listener * The importance of genuine curiosity when exploring money language * The difference between hearing and truly listening to clients * Creating space for clients to express themselves fully * Noticing emotional markers - when clients speed up, slow down or change their tone * Reflecting back exact language rather than paraphrasing or interpreting
Money Story Types and Their Language Patterns The Impulsive
- Key phrases: "I couldn't resist," "I'll figure it out later," "You only live once," "It was calling my name"
- Makes emotional, in-the-moment money decisions
- Challenge isn't budgeting skills but creating systems that work with their spontaneous nature
- Traditional budgeting often feels restrictive and triggers resistance
The Architect
- Key phrases: "I need to plan for this carefully," "What's the return on investment?" "I'm falling behind on my financial goals," "I'm not comfortable taking that risk"
- Prefers solid plans and struggles with taking financial risks
- Benefits from permission to be occasionally spontaneous with money
- May need an "impulsive money pot" to build capacity for flexibility
The Enabler
- Key phrases: "I should help them out," "I can't spend that on myself," "I need to do more"
- Prioritises others' financial needs before their own
- Needs support with creating healthy boundaries
- Benefits from recognising their own financial worthiness
The Pacifist
- Key phrases: "I don't think about money," "Money will work itself out," "Money isn't important to me," "I trust the universe will provide"
- Avoids financial decisions due to fear of responsibility
- May have past experiences of poor financial decisions or being rescued financially
- Needs gentle accountability and small steps to build confidence
The Innovator
- Key phrases: "I see a big opportunity here," "I can always make more money," "The potential upside is huge"
- Often seen in entrepreneurs who focus on possibilities and growth
- May neglect stability and foundations in pursuit of opportunity
- Benefits from strong financial planning alongside their risk-taking
Other Language Patterns to Notice Scarcity Language
- Phrases like "That's never enough," "I can't afford it," "I always run out of money"
- Indicates patterns of lack and limitation in money thinking
Abundance Language
- Phrases like "There's always more where that came from," "Money comes easily to me"
- May indicate a healthy relationship with money OR potential neglect of financial stability
Inherited Money Beliefs
- Listen for phrases starting with "My parents always said..." or "In my family, we never..."
- These reveal generational patterns that may not actually belong to the client
Practical Applications * Reflect language back: "Tell me more about how money burns a hole in your pocket" * Go deeper with questions: "When did you first learn that money was scarce?" * Help clients create new language patterns that better serve their financial goals * Remember that changing money language can lead to changing money behaviours
Final Thought By becoming fluent in the language of money psychology, coaches can create deeper, faster transformations with clients rather than simply handing them off to financial experts.

Episode Overview In this episode, I explore the often-overlooked connection between trauma responses and our financial behaviours. By examining how fight, flight, freeze and fawn manifest in our relationship with money, I uncover the deeper patterns that shape our financial decisions—often without us even realising it.
Key Highlights Understanding Financial Trauma * Financial trauma can be passed down through generations via family stories, belief systems and behaviours * Research suggests traumatic experiences, including financial stress, can affect gene expression * Environmental factors (current economic climate, news) shape our financial behaviours and attitudes * Trauma doesn't only refer to major events—it's any experience that exceeds our capacity to cope * The key difference between stress and trauma: stress can motivate action while trauma can shut down our ability to act
The Four Trauma Responses in Money Behaviours 1. Fight Response
- Characteristics: Anger, aggression, confrontation, desire for control
-
Financial manifestations:
- Aggressive pursuit of money at the expense of wellbeing
- Defensiveness or anger during money conversations
- High-risk investment strategies without proper research
- Confrontational behaviour around spending habits
- Competitive approach to financial status
- Resistance to accepting financial help from others
-
Flight Response
-
Characteristics: Avoiding responsibilities, burying head in the sand
-
Financial manifestations:
- Avoiding money conversations or opening bank statements
- Procrastinating on financial decisions
- Changing the subject when money comes up
- Setting up financial systems but not following through
- Overspending and impulsive shopping as emotional escape
- Ignoring financial problems until they become overwhelming
-
Freeze Response
-
Characteristics: Becoming stuck, rigid, unable to take action
-
Financial manifestations:
- Inability to make financial decisions
- Leaving money in low-interest accounts for years
- Complete inability to ask for pay rises or raise prices
- Staying stuck in financially abusive situations
- Excessive hoarding or saving from fear of insecurity
- Avoiding spending money even on necessities
-
Fawn Response
-
Characteristics: People-pleasing to avoid conflict or rejection
- Financial manifestations:
- Undercharging for services
- Staying in unfulfilling jobs to please others
- Taking on clients who can't afford your rates
- Lending money when you can't afford to
- Paying for others at your own expense
- Prioritising others' financial needs over your own
The Brain Science Behind Money Trauma * The amygdala processes emotions like fear and anxiety during financial stress * The hippocampus affects learning, memory and cognitive processing * The prefrontal cortex impacts decision-making, planning and impulse control * Regulating the nervous system helps all these brain regions function better
Moving Forward from Financial Trauma * Awareness is the first step—simply noticing when you're in a trauma response * Put healthy financial boundaries in place * Learn to regulate your nervous system through breathwork and movement * Have compassion for these protective responses * Take small steps rather than trying to overhaul everything at once * Remember: these responses are not who you are—just patterns in your nervous system
Final Thought Trauma responses are not who you are—they're patterns in your nervous system that developed to keep you safe. As you bring awareness to these patterns, you create space for new, more empowered financial behaviours to emerge.

Episode Overview In this episode, I welcome Mike Jones, founder of Better Happy and author of The Happy Business Revolution, to explore how entrepreneurs can escape the "owner trap" and build more happiness into their businesses. Drawing on Mike's unique background in the military and his transformative experiences living in monasteries, we uncover valuable insights about the true meaning of happiness and how to create a business that serves both clients and the business owner alike.
Key Highlights Mike's Journey from Military to Monastery to Business * Joined the military in his early twenties seeking an escape from his hometown * After two tours in Afghanistan, realised military life wasn't fulfilling him * Spent time living with monks in Thailand and Nepal, gaining life-changing insights * Discovered that Eastern philosophy views happiness as underlying fulfilment rather than constant ecstasy * These experiences led him to start his own businesses with a completely different perspective
The Buddhist Approach to Emotions * Learning to see emotions as "passing clouds" rather than part of one's identity * Understanding we are not our emotions, but the experiencer of emotions * This separation from emotions is particularly valuable for business owners on an emotional rollercoaster * The practice of not attaching to emotions, whether positive or negative
The Owner Trap: Lessons from Mike's First Business * Started a gym with the desire to help others, focusing entirely on client happiness * Created a business that made clients happy but left him burnt out and unfulfilled * "I went into business thinking, 'I'm just going to provide a good service and really look after our clients and the business will just be fantastic'" * By COVID, despite having a great team and happy clients, he was miserable
The Core Four Model of Business Relationships 1. The business itself - expects cashflow and profitability 2. Customers - expect positive products/services and give money/referrals 3. Team - delivers service and expects wages, belonging, growth opportunities 4. Business owner - provides leadership, finance, growth and expects returns
Why Business Owners Neglect Themselves * "Business is the most extreme form of personal development there is in disguise" * We're evolutionarily wired to be modest, which works against valuing ourselves properly * Society often pushes a message that making good money means exploiting others * The common trap: "If you're not going to make good money, have a job" * Passion alone won't sustain a business—financial reward must justify the stress and risk
Breaking Free from the Owner Trap * "I thought about me from day one" - Mike's approach to his second business * Being "sensibly selfish" - balancing client care with personal wellbeing * Defining happiness through values alignment rather than constant emotional highs * The danger of "putting life on hold" while building a business * Understanding that business is a marathon, not a sprint
Practical Steps to Escape the Owner Trap * Create an "aligned strategy" that starts with what YOU want from your business * Plan what you want your business to provide in terms of finance, fun, freedom and fulfilment * Shift from being a reactive business owner (letting the business happen to you) to a proactive one * "You can solve all your problems and still not have what you want" - Jim Rohn * Stop constantly firefighting problems and focus on creating what you truly desire
Final Thought Looking after yourself first isn't selfish—it's necessary for creating sustainable impact. As Mike points out, "If you're constantly burning yourself out to put other things first, you're going to die early, you're not going to be happy to be around, you're not going to have clarity of mind." True business happiness comes from creating a business that serves both clients AND yourself.

Episode Overview IIn this episode, I explore the wealth gap that exists in the UK (where 45% of men hold stocks and shares ISAs compared to only 26% of women) and challenge us to reconsider what wealth truly means beyond the traditional definition of "assets minus liabilities."
Key Highlights The Limited Definition of Wealth * Financial services and media have long defined wealth purely in numerical terms * This definition feels meaningless to most women's lived experiences * While money is important for basic needs, true wealth encompasses much more * Our language around money shapes our beliefs and actions
Redefining Wealth as Collective * Wealth isn't just an individual pursuit but a collective experience * It involves investing in companies that build wealth for society * It includes experiences that create a deep sense of belonging * True wealth makes us feel whole, enriched, and equal
The £2 Million Question * I explored reactions to the question: "What if I transferred £2 million into your account?" * Common responses revealed deep-seated money beliefs: + "Where are the strings attached?" + "That's too much responsibility" + "I need to give it away/share it" + "I don't deserve this" * These reactions stem from conditioning about our relationship with money
When Money Feels Dangerous * Many of us have experiences where money created problems: + Earning well but experiencing burnout + Relationship tensions when financial dynamics shifted + Friendship groups judging increased wealth + Feeling disconnected from loved ones due to financial differences * These experiences create unconscious success ceilings
The Perfectionism Trap * Fear of making imperfect money decisions leads to paralysis * Sharing my personal story of buying property just before the 2007-2008 crash * How past "mistakes" create lasting stories about our financial decision-making abilities * We often spend money quickly to avoid the responsibility of making "perfect" decisions
Breaking Through Money Blocks * Growing wealth is less about strategy and more about emotional capacity * Our ability to hold more responsibility, trust ourselves with money * The importance of recognising all the good financial decisions we've made * The first step of the Money Narrative Clearing Method: awareness
The Six-Step Money Narrative Clearing Method * Awareness as the crucial first step in transformation * Identifying patterns in our relationship with holding wealth * Recognising the emotions behind our money stories (guilt, shame, judgment) * Building trust that money can be a positive tool aligned with our values
Final Thought It's time to unlearn narratives like "you don't deserve wealth," "it's too complicated," or "it's greedy to want more." Wealth should be defined not by what we've been told, but by what makes us feel whole, enriched, and empowered.

Episode Overview In this episode, I challenge the conventional wisdom about wealth and status by revealing four surprising psychological insights on why embracing a lower profile might actually lead to greater financial freedom and happiness.
Key Highlights The Social Conditioning Around Wealth * We've been conditioned to believe wealth looks like luxury items, big houses, and status symbols * Research tells a completely different story about what creates true financial wellbeing * The goal should be growing your bank account, not feeding emotional dependency on status
The Psychology of Permanent Dissatisfaction * Many of us are trapped in what psychologists call a "cycle of permanent dissatisfaction" * Each financial milestone shifts our emotional baseline, creating only temporary happiness * The "hedonic treadmill" is wired into our brain chemistry - we quickly build tolerance to new pleasures * Studies show that once basic needs are met, additional wealth brings diminishing emotional returns
Social Media and Financial FOMO * Nearly 40% of people experience financial anxiety from social media * Platforms heighten emotional triggers and induce harmful comparison * "Financial FOMO" drives spending based on external validation rather than authentic values
My Personal Journey with Money * Fell into "conspicuous consumption" as a financial advisor - spending for emotional signaling * Projected abundance externally while experiencing internal financial incongruence * Therapy helped redirect resources toward intrinsic value investments (education, skills, personal growth) * This emotional shift transformed my relationship with money and ability to build wealth
The Prosperity Paradox * Increased resources can actually increase stress when lifestyle inflation occurs * Even maintenance costs follow this pattern - luxury brands require nearly three times the upkeep * The greater the distance between income and expenses, the more financial peace you experience
From External Validation to Internal Values * 25% of Americans admit pursuing romantic relationships for financial security * Financial secrets and dishonesty often stem from shame around money * True wealth comes from internal values like security, peace, and freedom rather than external validation * "Your worth is not tied to your net worth"
Key Takeaway: Understanding your emotional relationship with money is the first step toward building wealth that matters. Your relationship with money mirrors the relationship you have with yourself.
Final Thought It's not about deprivation—it's about redirecting financial energy toward what genuinely fulfills you. Looking "poor" might actually be your path to true emotion

Episode Overview In this episode, I explore why so many female founders experience "success ceilings" - those moments when business finally gains momentum, money flows in, goals are hit... and then something happens to pull us back down. Whether it's sudden emergencies, procrastination on new opportunities, or discounting services, these patterns aren't random. They represent unconscious self-sabotage that happens when money starts to flow.
Key Highlights Understanding Success Ceilings * Success ceilings manifest as unexpected obstacles just as business gains momentum * Common signs include anxiety around increased sales, sudden "emergencies" requiring spending, procrastination on opportunities, discounting services, and boundary issues * The brain is trying to protect us by returning to what feels familiar and safe
The Cautionary Tale of Nasty Girl * Founder Sophia Amoruso grew from an eBay store to $100 million in revenue * Appeared on Forbes' list of richest self-made women with net worth of $280 million * Released bestselling autobiography "Girlboss" and Netflix series * Filed for bankruptcy in 2016 and was acquired for just $20 million in 2017 * Illustrates both the excitement of rapid success and challenges of sustainable scaling
The Psychology Behind Self-Sabotage * We all have a financial identity - a concept of how much money we "should" have * When we exceed our unconscious money set point, we experience identity disruption * Ancestral programming can trigger safety warnings when we achieve unusual success * Trauma changes how genes express themselves, and these changes can be inherited * Our nervous system responds to unfamiliarity by shifting into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn * Fear of others' expectations creates resistance to expanded success
Breaking Through Success Ceilings Nervous System Regulation:
-
Practice deep breathing: inhale for 4, hold, exhale for 6
-
Place one hand on heart, one on stomach while affirming "It is safe for me to receive"
-
Regular practice helps rewire physical responses to success
Create Success Containers:
-
Open a separate bank account for new income levels
-
Practice writing larger invoices and sending them to yourself
-
Rehearse conversations about higher rates
-
Visualize having a financial team supporting your expanded business
Identity Work:
-
Ask: "Who do I need to become to hold this level of success?"
-
Create identity statements that align with your expanded financial reality
-
Find accountability partners who expect this level of success from you
-
Establish celebration rituals for financial milestones
-
Set clear boundaries around time and energy
Inspirational Examples: * Sarah Blakely maintained 100% ownership of Spanx when investors came knocking * Her quote: "Success to me is internal, not external" * Built a billion-dollar company by focusing beyond just numbers
Final Thought Success limits aren't character flaws—they're protective mechanisms that once served us but no longer do. With awareness and practice, we can break through to new levels of sustained success where it feels safe to thrive.

In this episode of 'It's Not About the Money,' I delve into the intricate relationship we have with success, particularly focusing on the fears that often accompany it. Drawing from my exploration of Gene Keys, I discuss how our perceptions of success are shaped by our values, self-worth, and the shadows we carry.
I explore the themes of graciousness, fear, and success and highlight the importance of meeting fears with kindness and acceptance, rather than force.
I invite you to reflect on your own definitions of success and the resistance you may feel towards achieving it, emphasizing that understanding these fears can lead to personal growth and alignment with one's authentic self.

I emphasise the importance of upgrading your identity and investing in yourself to attract wealth and abundance.

In this episode of It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I cover how to stop self sabotaging in order to make more money.
The reason that we self-sabotage is that it feels safer for us to procrastinate, say no, and not get visible. All of these behaviours I talk about come from a place of safety. And so the aim of self-sabotaging behaviours is not to remove them, the aim is just to recognise them.

In this episode of It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I want to dive into how to work out your financial freedom number.
Your financial freedom number is not the goal, it’s about creating and finding and knowing what is the first milestone and how to reach it. So that you can create more financial freedom and more financial independence.
Financial freedom can mean different things to different people. A lot of people say they want financial freedom, but actually what they're looking for is just more time. And so the way that we value our time is way more important than actually the amount of money we have in our bank account.
In this episode:
- What does financial freedom mean to you?
- How to work out your financial freedom number
- The impact of changing your spending habits
- What is your financial vitality number

In this episode of the It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I am going to share the 11 ways that you can prepare your finances to take a month out of your business.
Running a successful business requires us as CEOs to have sustainable energy along with a business model that supports freedom and flexibility. As an employee, we find switching off for time off much easier than when we have our own business. Taking time off is essential and getting stuck in masculine energy of doing and pushing only leads to burnout.
Preparing your finances for an extended period of leave is key to achieving freedom be that maternity leave, holiday or a sabbatical. Give yourself permission to take that time for you.
In this episode:
- Understanding your cash flow to support you and the business during a leave of absence
- How to use boundaries to manage client expectations

In this episode of the It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I am sharing how I went from £30,000 of debt to 7 figure businesses and angel investment.

In this episode of the It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I am talking all about the four stages of wealth and how to navigate them.
It can be easy to think that we need to tackle all areas of wealth at the same time. When I was getting out of debt I wanted stability but also to feel like I was creating an impact. When we try to prioritise all areas, you end up not prioritising anything and then not staying in any one stage successfully.
Often what we need is the solid foundation of mindset, behaviours and habits. At each stage you build resilience that helps maintain momentum. The tips in this episode will help you identify which stage of wealth you are currently at, how you can move to the next stage and what you need to do to stay there.
In this episode:
- Why time is a key player in creating wealth
- How to create a financial buffer easily
- The impact of needs and wants on your finances
- Recognise the importance of fostering good energy flow
- How to create a system where your money pays for your lifestyle

As with most things, it is important to begin by understanding our relationship with money. When we identify our Money StoryType®, it is easier to explore our personal resistance and therefore adjust our behaviour around money.
We can also use our Money StoryType® to better understand our superpowers as well as our saboteurs. We naturally use our superpower to increase our income - though in this episode I am also going to show you how your greatest superpower can also aid you in resisting more money.
In this episode:
- Why understanding your Money StoryType® will help you change your behaviour towards money
- The superpower and saboteur of each Money StoryType®
- How to manage your fear of change
- Using positive language to support growth
- Top tips from your opposite Money StoryType® to move away from resistance

In this episode of the It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I am talking about a topic that comes up in our community a lot - charging more money.
The thought of charging more money often brings up a lot of emotions - especially in women. We are socially conditioned to be the caregivers, the nurturer and to provide service to others over financial gain.
Charging more money is about more than just putting up your prices. It is about owning your worth. When you feel resistance between where you are at now and where you want to be, it is time to consider the changes that you need to make.
In this episode:
- Why women often overdeliver and undercharge
- How rejection has an impact on the rates that we charge
- Limiting beliefs that can cause overgiving
- Moving from hourly rates to outcome based fees
- Navigating your energy around your income

In this episode of the It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I am joined by Coach and Keynote Speaker, Charlotte Fuller. Charlotte is working to raise the confidence of women in tech and this week we are going to be talking about what stops women from claiming more confidence in their space.
We have talked on the podcast before about the difference between men and women - from the workplace, to financial differences and then also how they are portrayed by the media. It can often be challenging for women to feel confident enough to step into their power.
Whatever situation you are in, you are going to face different confidence issues. Listen in as we discuss two great questions that you can ask yourself to move through those confidence barriers and allow yourself to step into a place of having everything that you deserve.
In this episode:
- The opportunities that are open to you when you become more curious
- Ways to develop your skill set to achieve more confidence
- How to embody the person that you want to become

In this episode of the It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I am going to be discussing how to manage your money in business when you are neurodiverse.
Research shows that the diagnosis of ADHD in women is on the rise. ADHD affects the brain’s executive function which is the part that helps with planning, organising and structure. This means that the traditional methods for managing your finances are not supportive to those who have ADHD or some other neurodiversities.
The topic of ADHD and money has been discussed frequently in our communities. This episode is going to provide some hints, tips and strategies that will help support you or someone you know who has been diagnosed with ADHD.
In this episode:
- Why ADHD creates challenges around money
- The best tool to use to help create manageable steps for dealing with your finances
- How to use time management to support your financial organisation
- Simple and supportive routines to put in place

In this episode of the It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I am joined by Debbie Neiteler, a Wealth and Life Legacy Expert. Debbie, who runs a very successful law firm, works closely with clients to support them around wills and probate.
Life legacy is a topic that is very close to my heart. It doesn’t matter what stage you’re at financially, one thing that really drives individuals is the legacy that we want to create and the change that we want to make in the world.
Death is an inevitable part of life and it can be uncomfortable to think about but having a plan can help us feel more comfortable about the journey and taking some of those goals that we have for the future will help shape the legacy that we want to leave behind.
In this episode:
- Understanding the legacy that you want to leave
- The grief cycle and how it is an individual journey
- What is the life legacy cycle and how to use it to create your will
- How to reframe your emotions around death

Listen to the podcast episode with Gay Hendricks - The Big Leap and How We Upper Limit Ourselves
In this episode of the It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast), I am going to be discussing why fixing your team might be more important than fixing your revenue.
The better your team is, the better your profitability and customer experience will be and in turn the more you will enjoy running your business but getting the right team in place is not easy. Bad experiences around team growth can leave you with “business trauma” that needs to be addressed in the same way we do all trauma that shows up in life.
Having a strong and dynamic team is the key to increasing your revenue. Here are some of the lessons that I have learnt over the last 18 months that will help you to grow your business and grow your income.
In this episode:
- Why growing your team is not a one-and-done
- The impact that a dysfunctional team will have on your bottom line
- How to use KPIs to improve team performance
- Using standard operating procedures to ensure stability and consistency
- How important communication is when working with a team

Listen to the podcast episode with Profit First author, Mike Michalowicz
In this episode of the It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast), I am delighted to be joined by one of the most incredible authors, Gay Hendricks. Gay and I talk more about his book and also the ways in which we limit our own success.
Gay Hendricks is a leader in the field of relational transformation and body mind transformation, a field in which he has been working for more than 45 years. He also served as a professor of Counselling Psychology at the University of Colorado for over 20 years and has countless books to his name.
Often we can get stuck in the same patterns that keep us limited in what we can manifest or achieve but what is really exciting is that we have the ability to break that pattern, to break the cycle.

In this episode:
- The power of wonder questions in opening up your upper ceiling of limitation
- Why manifesting from a place of fear does not work

In this episode of the It’s Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I am going to be digging deeper into the psychology around subscription plans.
These days we are fortunate enough to be able to spread the cost of bills where necessary but I wonder if this is always the right thing to do. Often, spreading payments over time incurs additional fees or a higher price tag. The scarcity mindset can show up even if we have the full payment sitting in the bank.
Paying in full versus paying in instalments both have their place in the financial world and especially when it comes to the psychology of the payment methods, there is great evidence for both being of value.
In this episode:
- When paying a subscription plan can act as a motivator
- The pleasure pain theory that is activated when we make a choice
- How to empower yourself to take back the decision around making payments
- How payment plans have an impact on your cashflow as a consumer and also as a business owner
- Understanding where your financial goals are rooted to help you reach financial decisions

In this episode of the In Her Financial Shoes podcast I am going to be talking about pricing and sharing 5 ways that you can ethically raise your prices without losing your customer.
We often hear people saying “charge your worth” which can be a difficult concept, particularly if you are dealing with imposter syndrome or a lack of confidence. Raising your prices is much easier when you have substance behind it and helps prevent you feeling uncertain or anxious.
I am going to help you look at your pricing from a place of balance and confidence because it is not about the money. You can step into wealth® without affecting your client base.
In this episode:
- Understanding your mindset and energy around increasing your prices
- Raising the value that provides results without giving more time
- A practical exercise around appreciating your value and worth
- Your systematic approach to supply and demand
- How to manage the resistance that comes up when you think about your pricing

In this episode of the In Her Financial Shoes podcast we are talking about how you can create, and keep, high energy in your business.
This has been the one thing that has made the biggest difference in my business above all of the other personal transformations that have taken place for me. I used to feel quite icky around sales. Selling in a corporate, masculine space is very different to stepping into and selling from a feminine flow.
When you evaluate where your energy leaks are and establish what brings you joy in your business, you can really create a high energy and keep you feeling confident when selling to your audience.
In this episode:
- Getting yourself into the high vibe CEO mindset
- Key skills to help you prepare for achieving your best results
- How to choose the best methods for selling that work for you
- The language that empowers you on your sales calls
- What can you track to help keep your energy high

How To Use Profit First in Your Small Business podcast episode
Putting Profit First with Mike Michalowicz podcast episode
In this episode of the In Her Financial Shoes podcast, I want to share a really important chapter from my book It’s Not About The Money.
This chapter is all about why we need to release the need to control money. Our goals should not be about trying to control money but rather that we have a better relationship with money.

This is the final episode of our #MoneyMoments series and it brings you some top bitesize tips from our favourite full episodes.
In this episode:

This week on the In Her Financial Shoes podcast, I am exploring how you can make how you can make your child a mini-millionaire with the use of pension investments for children.
In 2017, Age UK conducted some research that showed 74% of people rely on the state pension for their sole income in retirement. A report conducted by 7IM showed that most people rely on a lottery win to ensure their comfort on retirement.
Pensions are a topic very close to my heart and after changes in pension legislation in the early 2000s, access to pensions is a lot more flexible, making it a better consideration for investment. It is hard for children to understand why they need to think about the future so join me today and find out how we can set them up for retirement from birth.
In this episode
- How to set up and start a pension for a child
- Why we need to take one step today to make your child a multi-millionaire by the time they reach retirement age
- Busting myths and self-limiting beliefs around pensions
- Why pensions are not just a retirement vehicle but can also be used to start investing and utilising the compound effect to grow long-term sustainable wealth
- The benefits of helping children understand investments from a young age

In this episode I am joined by leading international dating and relationship expert, Sami Wunder. Join us as we talk about how feminine energy and embodiment really helps us to attract more love and money into our lives.
Making money has traditionally come from a place of very high masculine energy. If you wanted more money, you had to work harder. In shifting my energy to more of a feminine energy, I have been able to focus on the end result to my clients rather than on the money. My relationship with money has therefore experienced a shift as I step more into a balanced energy.
If we want change and to make changes that last, we need to step into a place of trust and give ourselves time and space to allow it to happen.
In this episode:
- What is feminine energy
- Getting the correct balance between feminine and masculine energy
- How to change your relationship with money by balancing your energy
- Why we hold fear around vulnerability

As a financial coach, you create powerful advice that really sticks with your clients, creating real impact in their lives, all while increasing your own income with ease.

Joined by Will Rainey, the founder of the financial education platform bluetreesavings.com and the author of the children’s book, Grandpa’s Fortune Fables.
In this episode, we are talking all about kids and money. I’m often asked questions such as “should I give my kids pocket money?”, “How can I pass on a good relationship with money to my kids?”, and “How do I teach my kids about money?”
This is a really important subject, so Will and I get stuck into some of the best lessons to teach your kids about money.
About Will’s Book: Grandpa’s Fortune Fables When Grandpa Jack was a young man, he went on an adventure to a faraway island in search of gold. Whilst he was on the island he discovered ‘The Three Rules of Wealth’. These rules helped him to become a very wealthy man.
As Gail shares her Grandpa’s adventures, your kids will learn:
- The difference between being ‘Rich’ and being ‘Wealthy’
- How to earn money
- The importance of saving their money
- How to grow their money (investing)
- That patience is the superpower of the wealthy
- Why they should avoid gambling, scams and (bad) debt
Your kids will also have to try and solve Grandpa’s Mystery Code as they answer short questions to recap on what they have learnt throughout the book.
In this episode:
- What is the most important lesson to teach kids about money?
- Do the lessons we teach vary based on age?
- The 3 rules of wealth: save then spend/plant the seeds you keep/be patient.
- Will’s view on pocket money.

You’re Not Broken – Break Free From Trauma & Reclaim Your Life
I really wanted to get stuck into what money trauma is and some of the emotions around money, as well as how to feel okay to earn more money. How do you heal money trauma?
Society tells us that we should try to ‘get rid’ of negative emotions such as fear, shame, regret, guilt, responsibility, and anger, when actually all emotions are important.
Rather than trying to get rid of those emotions or money blocks, I actually recommend leaning into the emotions and money blocks in order to lean into and Step Into Wealth®.
In this episode:
- Catherine’s personal experience of money blocks while growing her wealth.
- Trauma responses we experience that affect our ability to Step Into Wealth®.
- How to learn to feel into our emotions and lean into them.
- A self empowering tool you can use to heal money trauma.

We speak about investing and some of the common emotional blocks that come up around investing, such as fear and greed.
Many of us as women don’t even believe that investing is possible for us. This is a really important conversation for us to be having as women, if nothing else to do the work in normalising the idea of women investing. If we want to start growing our wealth and Step Into Wealth®, we need to include investing in those plans.
In this episode:
- Jerremy’s story of investing from age 7
- Why we need to normalise women investing
- How to include investing in your wealth plans

In this episode, I take some time to talk about how to make better and easier financial decisions.
Traditionally at this time of year, it is a time to pause and reflect on the past year but also on what we want for the year ahead. I love to get curious around my vision, what success looks like for the next 12 months and also pick a theme for the year ahead. Last year my theme was growth and as we move into 2022, I am focusing more on expansion.
In today’s episode, I share a wonderful expansion exercise that will really get you thinking about your goals and whether they are truly aligned to your values and intentions. What tends to hold people back is the high expectations that we put on ourselves and this exercise helps you to really look at all sides of the decision-making process to help avoid becoming overwhelmed and giving up.
In this episode:
- Journaling prompts to get you thinking about your own goals and intentions without the influence of others
- Why becoming overwhelmed with decisions is rarely about the money
- How considering the full picture before making a change can help you hold onto the plan throughout the year
- Sometimes there is a reason for not making a change, known as a secondary gain
- Think about the context of your life when goal setting and consider how they fit with you rather than being guided by the lives of others

In this episode, Catherine is looking at the power behind getting clear on our financial future and why expanding your vision is the key behind this.
Often, we find that we are limited by fear – fear of success and fear of failure. We don’t believe in ourselves, that we are capable of achieving and therefore do not even begin. We perceive this fear of failure as shame or embarrassment and Catherine shares why it is so important to focus on the emotional benefits of a financial goal rather than just the assets it will create.
Today’s episode is a practical one. As well as sharing one of her favourite chapters from Glennon Doyle’s book Untamed, Catherine also shares an exercise from her own best-selling book It’s Not About The Money so grab a pen and paper to really implement the changes in life to help you step into your wealth.
In this episode:
- Questions we can ask ourselves to begin expanding into our life’s vision
- Why we need to consider the change that we want to see in the world, even if it feels completely unattainable
- The difference between deep level desires and surface level desires and the impact that both have on our ability to get clear on our goals
- It is time to release the limiting fears and believes so that we can really step into wealth

The self deserving loop is a perpetual cycle of deserving and undeserving that prevents us from really stepping into wealth and leaves us flip flopping between the idea that we deserve to receive money but are not worthy of receiving.
Money is a tool that helps us to create financial freedom but often, as women, we are left with the feeling that it is wrong to want or receive money. Wrapped around this cycle is all of the emotion that we attach to money making it incredibly hard to break the loop of feeling deserving and self sabotage.
I share some top tips that you can use as you start to think about what next year will look like in your life and business, and that will help you with your beliefs around deserving so that you can step into wealth in 2022.
In this episode:
- Think about why you feel the way you do and bring awareness to your core beliefs around money
- Why you should know the purpose for the money that you are wanting to receive and how to realise those desires
- How strong boundaries can help prevent you from falling into the self deserving loop
- Are there any beliefs, relationships or even projects that you need to let go of to prevent the self sabotage
- Why your intuition is a powerful alarm system that will keep you safe without dropping you into the self deserving loop

Joined by Marriage and Family Psychotherapist, Dr Robin Norris.
We talk about the challenges that we face when talking about money with our partners, spouses and families. Money is a very emotive topic and statistically we are attracted to someone who has the opposite relationship with money to us which can add further considerations.

In this episode:
- Trauma impacts how we communicate in relationships around money
- Why processing and working through emotions will help both mentally and physiologically
- The importance behind understanding our own needs as well as the needs of each other
- Why you should set the scene for how and when you would like money conversations to take place
- Having difficult conversations about money can reduce future trauma when we lose our partner

Book Recommendation: The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk
This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions!
Today I explore more around guilt and shame including shame around debt.
Not all debt is bad and yet we are trained from a young age to think that we should “get back in the black”, that negative numbers are always a bad thing. The importance of addressing these emotions, and in particular shame and guilt, can have extraordinary results on your creation of wealth, moving you forward to a place of empowerment and sustainability.
In this episode:
- How we can get stuck in a continual debt cycle because of shame
- Why money is not about who you are
- We attach the emotions to ourselves using the phrase “I am…”
- Putting your own needs before others was not selfish but in fact enriching
- Only you will know when the right time is to let go of the emotions around money

Sharing another chapter from my new book, around the emotions of money.
Money is one of the biggest causes of stress and divorce in this country. I explore why we need to tackle the emotion before we can take the practical steps towards becoming a wealthy woman.
In this episode:
- In order to step into wealth, we need to feel wealthy before we become wealthy
- What are the consequences of holding onto these emotions around money?
- The chemical release of emotions makes its presence known in the body and it can be physically damaging
- Why we should acknowledge that money doesn’t cause the emotion, rather that it is caused by the meaning we attach to money

I am passionate about helping you to be self-empowered, to no longer bury your head in the sand and continue on a path of self-sabotage. Being a wealthy woman is not about how much money you have in your account.
Today I am talking about the first steps to changing your money narratives.
In this episode:
- Why stepping into your money narrative will bring awareness to then be able to move forward with wealth creation
- Taking the hard step of looking at who or what you need to forgive
- Why sometimes we need to be given permission to make the necessary changes
- How taking time to look at your money story will help you to identify the emotions, behaviours and habits that underpin your money story
- Why we must look back to look forward

In this special episode, I share another excerpt from my upcoming book “It’s Not About The Money”, launching tomorrow.
Deserve is the first step of three in the book and explains the science behind why we need to change our money narrative before we can create financial freedom. We need to feel deserving before we take the practical steps in wealth creation.
In this episode:
- If we don’t feel good enough, we fear that we won’t have enough
- Why the things we hear as a child, between the ages of 0-6, create our core beliefs and can have a lasting impact on how we behave later in life
- The definition of trauma
- Why we need to separate money from our sense of self worth
- How a misalignment between money beliefs and what is true will create a dissonance

In this special episode, I am sharing another excerpt from my upcoming book “It’s Not About The Money”. Launching on Thursday 9th December, which also happens to be my 40th birthday, I am giving a little taster of what is to come.
The Middle Eastern origin of the word Wealth means happiness and prosperity in abundance of possessions or riches. But it isn’t just about the money. It is about the feeling and emotions. In this episode, I am reading from my chapter around the 4 levels of wealth creation. Have a think about where on this journey you are and what level of wealth creation you are at.
In this episode:
- The 4 levels of wealth creation and how we can look at these through the lens of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
- Money is driven by the need for love or the need for status
- Why prioritising all areas of wealth creation means you prioritise no areas with depth and therefore no areas will grow
- We give money a lot of power that is often achievable if we stay focused on our sense of self and belonging

What does success actually mean?
Success is actually a feeling and not a destination or physical state. It is individual to each person and there is no cookie cutter approach when it comes to achieving success.
I have talked often about the importance of separating self worth and net worth, and that the two should be exclusive of one another. Listen in as I share details around each money narrative and some tips on how we can change limiting beliefs surrounding these.
In this episode:
- What you can do to feel more successful in relation to our wealth and personal money stories
- The belief of charging your worth is flawed when women often have a very low self worth meaning that we would never achieve the level of wealth that we desire and deserve
- Money narratives are not personality types
- Key characteristics around each money narrative and top tips for managing that money narrative
- The importance of being mindful of the language that we use and how that can encourage our brain to look for evidence to further support limiting beliefs

Overspending and impulsive financial decisions are coping mechanisms and a distraction from what is really going on. Spending gives our brain a reward, a fleeting “high”. We often act from an emotional irrational state that leads us to make bad decisions or bury our head in the sand.

In this episode:
- 5 top tips on how we can prevent overspending from happening
- The things that happen when we are acting from our emotional irrational state
- How the link between trauma and addiction can affect our spending
- Why we need to look at healing our relationship with money to help break bad habits with our spending
- How changing our behaviours from reactive to proactive will increase our bank balance
- The importance of creating a delay before making a purchase and why that can have a massive impact

In today’s episode, Catherine is joined by marketing and mindset coach, Ellie Swift. Ellie joins us from Western Australia to share her expertise on how to set goals for abundance in business.
Goal setting is sometimes considered quite a masculine act and often people set goals that have no real vision for their own life. The other challenges when setting yourself goals is not truly believing that you will achieve them, choosing instead to hope and wish for the outcome rather than know that it is going to happen.
Ellie shares how grounded goals can help us take those small steps to our big wins with various tips and tricks along the way.
In this episode:
- Why categorised goals rarely help you to achieve
- Why embodying the way you will feel when you have achieved the goal will help you to hit those targets
- How to create moments of abundance when you feel financially stretched
- The importance of daily mindset work
- Why not having all the answers about how we will achieve our goals is part of the growth process
- How to set incremental goals to achieve the bigger vision
- Why you should prioritise yourself and your goals
