What's that over my Shoulder?

I love recording a podcast

I recently had the privilege to join one of my coaches on her new podcast show 'The Goddess Journals'.

As an 'ex' client of hers, she asked me to hop on and share all about my journey and growth through working together. In this case, that mostly meant talking about money.

My coach Maggie, or @springluneoracle on Instagram, did not even have to sell to me. I just knew after two meetings that she was someone I HAD to work with. I loved her energy, her vibe, her coaching style and the way I felt when I was on a call with her.

How it started vs How it actually went

I originally asked Maggie if she could be my coach and support me in my own coaching business. However, what we soon discovered, through a lot of journaling prompts, was that the reasons I wasn't seeing the success I wanted, was simply because of me!

I felt unworthy of success, I didn't have a good relationship with money and yet I was saying I wanted to attract more. So, the 3-month coaching was less about business, and more about uncovering and overcoming my limiting beliefs which continually held me back.

Every call I had with Maggie mostly ended in tears, if the topic of money came up. Having more money to live the life I want is a dream that will never fade. With money I can have the freedom of choice and the power to positively impact the lives of the people I love. Yet, I bloody hated money, mostly because I didn't have the amount I wanted, and I didn't believe I was ever going to be worthy of it.

Stepping into Abundance

That was back in October - January, now in September 2022 I was sat recording a podcast with Maggie, actively talking about MONEY and not one tear came out.

The whole episode really did make me reflect on how far I had come in the past year. From a feeling of anger and just the mention of money on our calls, to sharing my experience with love on a podcast to be shared with others.

I'm a big believer in not looking back on your past, because it's easy to get fixated on the mistakes you feel you made, the things you could have done different and the people we'd wished we never met.

But looking back in order to reflect on where you were, to where you are now is something different entirely. It's easy to forget just how different we were when we focus too much on the here and now. I don't yet have the income I want BUT how I feel about money compared to 12 months ago is healthier, happier and stronger. I have more trust in myself to create the life I desire, and I KNOW that the beliefs I held about money, are simply stories and conditioning put there by others.

You have to be the change

I can choose to stay stuck in the story or I can get a pen and paper and rewrite it.

In a previous post I wrote about 'Becoming what you want to Attract'. This is no different!

You can't want money and hate the rich, you can't ask for more and complain when it's not the amount you wanted. You won't find more whilst you are always fixating on the lack of it.

How can you reflect?

Take some time today / this week to reflect on changes you have made. Maybe you started the gym, and you reflect on how far you have come? Maybe you are on a weight loss journey, and you remember where you started?

REMEMBER, it's ok to look how far you've come, even if you aren't yet at the goal you want to achieve. Let it be the driving force to keep going forward because progress happens, even if it's too small in the moment to see it.

Now,
