It's Not About The Money – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Today, I'm sharing a practice that has supported me so much I can't even begin to tell you - one that allows for more flow, more ease, and some wiggle room for change.

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.

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.

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
• Why you need SOPs in your business
• How to prepare for your return before you even leave
• What spaciousness and time out can do for your business in the long-term

In this episode of the It's Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I am going to be talking about how to deal with money and build wealth when your partner buries their head in the sand.

When in a relationship, it is quite common to have a different belief system and money narrative. Having differing relationships with money can be quite supportive if you're able to communicate in a really positive way, which isn't always possible.

The relationship we each have with money is based on what makes us feel safe. Using the tips in this episode, you will be able to honour each other's values and experiences as well as creating a financial plan for the future. All of this while developing better conversations around money. 

In this episode:

• Three of the most common financial conflict myths

• How to understand your partner's relationship with money

• Finding the right time for financial conversations

• Techniques that help with self regulation during difficult conversations

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.

I have just come back to the office after hosting my Wealth Awakening Retreat in Jersey where I was joined by some of the ladies in my community. We spent the week opening dialogue around money, clearing limited beliefs and celebrating financial empowerment. I always come back from these events energised and reflective of my own journey.

When stuck in recurring debt shame cycles it can be really difficult to see a way out but it is completely possible. When we change our relationship with money, we open up doors that we never believed were attainable. As well as some actionable tips, I am going to share some internal shifts that supported me in moving away from cycles that had me robbing Peter to pay Paul. 

In this episode:

• How to let go of the emotional around past decisions and actions

• Why you need to balance the masculine and feminine energy for greater growth

• What it means to get financially naked and why it is such an important part of the journey

• What happens when you learn to manage the money you already have

• How trust is in integral part of each step to financial stability and growth

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
