Hello, Power Women, and welcome to another episode of Power Women, helping you with your marketing, your mindset, and your money. And I love having this podcast to share other women's stories, to share what I'm learning, what I'm teaching, how I'm growing a business, how I'm seeing power in clients, I'm seeing power in myself, how I'm seeing power in you. And we all have that power, and really feeling that is so important. And I hope that you see that every day, that it's not just
big aha moments that are the power. It's the little things you do every day. It's how you exist every day. It's in your power with your thoughts, mindset, your feelings and emotions and your actions and how you show up. That is your power always. I always work in threes. That's a triangle for you. And so feeling that power. And today I really wanted to talk about money because of a recent experience I had.
where I was on a call with some other fellow coaches, some peers running businesses, different niches, but all coaches. And one of them asked what some of the big limiting beliefs or breakthroughs we'd had on money were because she felt like money is one of the hardest things to rewire your brain on, to let go of limiting beliefs on.
And I took what she said face value and we all shared some great insights of things that we'd work through with money because we all are successful coaches, entrepreneurs and had, you know, different experiences of finding an awareness of our money limiting beliefs and then changing it and shifting those and finding our power with money. And it was cool to hear the different stories. And I was thinking about it afterward and just how powerful that conversation was, how much I liked it.
But then I actually started to question the original question itself with money is the most hard to unlearn than anything else. And even believing that makes it harder, of course. So questioning that, is it really the hardest to unlearn, to unwire? Or what if it's the easiest? What if it's the fun? What if it's the most energetic thing to rewire in your brain because it is so powerful?
So I wanted to call this episode the energy of money because I have really learned to see money that way. And that's one of the biggest things that has changed for me is I used to see money as just numbers and the amount of what you had and what you didn't have. And honestly, I was mostly in the lack or the scarcity of what I didn't have. And seeing that way, I was often told we can't afford that growing up. So naturally.
My brain computed that to mean we were poor even though we never were. If we can't afford what we want, we must be poor. We have lack. We don't have what we want. And so just living that way most of my life, all it was was numbers to me. But as I've come to see money as energy, it has opened me up so much more to the power that it has, but also the power I give it and the power I have with it.
because when it is an energy and the numbers we give are just a representation of it, it gives a very different focus because you can just focus on the numbers or you can focus on the energy and what it is. And I recently was doing a consult call and the woman was asking how much I charged and I told her what I love to tell everyone that when we buy anything from anyone,
product, service, whatever it is, we are exchanging energy with them. And when we believe in the value of the energy of what we're purchasing, the money naturally goes to that. So when we actually give and receive in abundance with any purchase, we receive and give so much more than the number value or even what we buy.
And so just makes it such a more full and expounding experience to exchange energy with people and use money and whatever they're buying to see that. And I feel like that really helps me to see why this is so important, especially as an entrepreneur and someone in business, to learn and feel the energy of money because if all we're thinking about is the numbers,
It's easy to go into scarcity one and it's easy to also only see your value in the numbers. But if you've ever met people that are at different levels of success in business, sometimes when you find out how much money they're actually making, you're surprised because it's the success they emanate that they live in doesn't necessarily match the numbers you're expecting. But that's because they're in the energy of the success, the energy of the money and seeing
what it's doing for them then and they don't have to wait till they're a multi-millionaire to feel the abundance, the wealth, the success, the expansion. That's how I always try to live and you all know I have not reached the million dollar mark yet and that's okay. I enjoy being a coach and being successful and working towards that as much as I do getting there and that's part of the energy of money, of letting money come to you.
as you grow, expand and let the energy match. And so you're ready for it and you're ready to be that millionaire, but you can still have fun and enjoy the whole process and enjoy the money every step of the way. And I looked up on chat GBT, cause I've heard different theories about the energy of money, but I just wanted to see what AI could pull out for me and.
And...
It said that.
There it is. It said that lots of different theories that I had never even heard before and I asked it to go from very spiritual to very practical and looking at all the things in between. And so...
It really summarized it really well at the end when it said.
Across these diverse perspectives, a common thread emerges. Money is more than a medium of exchange. It's a reflection of your values, intentions, and consciousness. Whether viewed through a spiritual, psychological, religious, or economic lens, our relationship with money can serve as a mirror, revealing deeper truths about our lives and societies." And I just had to read that. I loved how it kind of said that.
This applies to whether you're looking at the economics, to the spiritual, psychological, religious, all of it. And that my favorite thing is that mirror. It reveals your deeper truths about your lives and even the society we choose to live in. And that's because money is an energy. It carries that energy. And so when we don't think of it as a number, but we think of it as an energy, we are more in an energy ourselves.
And I love that with the idea of wealth consciousness of who am I being in my thoughts, feelings and actions towards money to create the energy or consciousness of money that I want to help bring that money to me. And being very open in giving and receiving money in energy is an important part of that. What we already talked about, but also
to really see that it's a reflection of how you are perceiving money. I quote this book all the time, Happy Money, where he talks about Ken Honda, the author, talks about that money is literally happy when you are happy with it. So it's not about being happy with money, which is a great idea too of saying like, being happy with what you have and enjoying what you have, being grateful.
That's a different principle though. What he's saying is that the money mirrors your energy and so the money has an energy to it but it always mirrors yours. So when you are in a happy abundant energy with money, the money itself takes on that energy and it mirrors it to you. And so this can show up in so many different ways in your life. A great example was a client just sent me a message this morning.
where she had had a great month, had a big payout, and she was using it to pay off her credit cards and put some in savings and set up a good plan for the month. And she was feeling abundant with all of it until she got to her car payment. And for some reason, that felt like it was sucking the money away from her, even though she felt great about using the money for everything else. She felt like, it's just taking the money away from me. It's not in my bank account when I pay for this car payment that she had.
And then she remembered that the fact that she had this car payment was abundance. The fact that they approved her for the car loan and that she had it and was able to use money to have what she had and really feel that having of the car and the ability to pay it and that it was all there because the money is not just about the bank account, it's the energy she was having with it. And so when she...
paid the car payment in the energy of having and being grateful that she had the money to make the payment, it was a completely different experience. And she was in that happy energy and the money reflected that energy. And what happens when we put ourselves and the money into this energy is that it is easier to spend, it is easier to know when not to spend it.
and it is easier to use it to create an extension of you in energy. And this is my favorite thing to really feel with money is that it is me. I often say that I am friends with money. We are allies. We work together to build and create the life I envision. And I remember this very significant point in my business where I was starting to make significant amounts of money and I was a little lost in what to do with it and how to
create things and what was I even doing? Like had never planned to make this kind of money in my life because going back to limiting beliefs there had been so many things that had blocked me before but really opening up and being in wealth consciousness and wanting money, believing in money, I had to decide like if I'm gonna keep making this kind of money what am I doing with this? What is this purpose for me? I didn't feel good about being open and receiving so much money if I didn't know why I was doing it.
and I was really pondering this for several days and the words that finally came to me that really opened me up to it and gave me peace with having a lot of money were having power and freedom. Those are my two words and the energy of power and freedom in a good way. This is good power. I use the word power all the time but we're talking about
the power to do what I want and be what I want, create what I want. And so when I am seeing myself as a power woman, I am seeing myself as a good influence in the world, good things to do that I am enough that I have big things to do, big influence and impact to make money gives me the power to do all of that. And this is one of my favorite points to help women with when they're having a hard time charging in their business is saying that your
Business can only do so much with so little money. You can't have the kind of impact and ability to reach and do everything you're wanting to do if it is at this lower point they're at. And there's no point that's right. It's individual for everyone. And we're in enough in this coaching that I understand where they are and where they're wanting to go and the vision they have, but they're blocking it with thinking they can't charge certain things.
and opening up to receiving that money and using it as a power to create. And so it's not about the money. It's about the energy of the money and the extension of you that it becomes. And a lot of people get afraid of having money because they think it's going to make them a bad person. They have so many examples in history of people with a lot of money that did bad things. But the part that they're not recognizing
is it wasn't the money that made that person be that way. They had done a lot of decisions and actions and become that person already and then the money mirrored them in energy of who they were. And I always say with such confidence that you are good, you are a power woman or you wouldn't be in my audience. You wouldn't even be listening to this podcast. And so you, when you are at your best, are gonna do big things, big, powerful, good things.
and the money gives you more power to be more of you. It mirrors you. And if you're the kind of woman listening to this podcast and wanting to do this work and be this kind of good, important and impactful woman, the money gives you more of that power to do that. Money also has the energy of freedom. You can choose and do more of what you want, how you want with money.
and it doesn't have to be all altruistic. is often something that we do with money is thinking that it has to be for the good of others and the good of all or we can't want it. And I have seen plenty of women give away all of their money to the point that they have nothing left for themselves and then they don't have the freedom that they really want. And so things like having the money to
hire a nanny, have a nicer car, go on a trip with your family, choose the hours that you work, not having to work 24-7. These are freedoms that the money is providing you and that you get to use to then go back to the power to be more of you and have more impact in the world. And really seeing it as a mirror of you and believing that the money you have
is your ally, your friend is going to help you, helps you see the power and energy of money, but really the power that's in you. You are the power and the energy of money matches your power. It matches you. So this is the good part of it that we can see this possibility and expansion with it. But the hard part that sometimes people don't like to look at is where you are with money right now is a mirror as well.
And so coming back to how this started with saying that money is the hardest thing to unlearn and to change your beliefs about. What if we question that and let go of that belief and that money is not the hardest, but most one of the most impactful. think there's lots of impactful things to rewire our brains out about and change the conditioning we've had. But money is very impactful and very important to look at. And so it's not that
It's harder, but it's definitely one that everyone, whether they have a business or not, should be looking at, wants to look at because it is going to change their life so much. And it does have so much impact on your life and then reciprocally the impact that you can make in the world in others' lives. And so where you are today, this is a good self check. And we always do this without judgment.
without shame, without making you feel bad about yourself, but with full awareness and ownership of saying, where am I with money right now? Is this where I want to be? And how can I open up more? How can I raise my energy more? How can I be more conscious? How can I be more in power with how I think about money to create more money in my life? Because it does match you.
even chat gbt agrees with me across all the philosophies religious spirituality economics that is a belief of the consciousness of you with your wealth is reflected in in the money that you have but i have had to be very careful with this myself as i start to go down this looking at this it's easy to think i'm doing something wrong then if i don't have the all the money that i want
Even if I'm in abundance right now, I must be doing something wrong. I'm not thinking it right. I need to change something. And we have to be very careful not to turn it into that. It's just to open up and see where else could I shift? Where am I still blocking money? How can I have everything I want and be in that energy now to open up to receiving it, to have that energy available and
This is where it is important to not be just looking at we want, but really opening up to having it. And the difference in energy there is wanting when we're just thinking about it purely as a want keeps it distant because we are saying I don't have it. And so shifting into this energy of having, and if you haven't read the book, The Having Yet, it's a must read as well about money and mindset.
One of my favorite books, maybe number one right now, listening to this book and helping you see that being in this energy of having all that you have and all that you want, but all in the present tense, all in this open and real. It is real today. And so you're not having to think about it all the time and worry about it in the want category, but in the having category. This is how we can change.
to open up to the money that we want. And this is a process. And sometimes we just want to snap our fingers and be there. But also it really can happen faster than we think as well. And in the book she even says that as you get into the having it can happen as soon as two weeks. Really it can start changing things for you. And so really stepping into the having and being what you want to be with money.
Believing you have what you want with money, literally and energetically opens you up to receive that energy of that money. And it will change everything about money for you. And it doesn't have to be hard to unlearn. When things are hard to unlearn, in any subject, it's because we're holding onto it and we feel safe holding onto it. And learning to...
changed our beliefs and thoughts and rewiring our brain about money, the conditioning you've had is always available to you. Abundance is always available because it's always there. It's all there is. We just don't see it or feel it because we block it. And that's what we're talking about here with the energy of money, of just being in the energy of money and being at the energy of the money we want, whatever number that is.
And coming back to really seeing that in any exchange you do with money, whether it's buying something for your business, receiving payment for your business, something has nothing to do with your business, you really are exchanging energy and seeing that value and energy exchange is so much more abundant to me than just being stuck on numbers because then it helps me see the value and the fullness of what it is beyond just the numerical value.
And that gives you a whole different experience of experiencing your energy and the energy of money in your life. So as you ponder this and really start to shift your thoughts, what you believe about money, being in the energy of money, I invite you, if you want any help with this at all, to join my program, Ambitious Women Collective.
