TRANSCRIPT:
[00:00:00] Current information around anxiety around money completely falls short because it misses this one thing. It’s not about healing or understanding. It’s about discerning the difference between incongruence and a fear response.
[00:00:14] in today’s episode, you’re going to learn the number one tool, compass, perspective, and understanding that all anxious and smart entrepreneurs and industry leaders have that helps them make more money with more ease. You’re going to skip months of diving in and understanding your triggers, and you’re going to.
[00:00:32] be able to kind of fast track your way to understanding what your body is telling you and when you need to push forward and make that decision based on that tingling inside of your chest versus when you need to go in, understand that trigger, find safety and do the inner work before you take action on the outer work.
[00:00:53] We’re going to be following along with a client, case study of mine. We’re going to be following along with a story of a client that I recently had. [00:01:00]And the episode is sponsored by Financially Fierce, which is my group program that will help you hold, receive, and circulate more money with more ease so that you can maintain, so that you can be an entrepreneur who is creative and calm and, and cool, calm and collected, resilient, creative, innovative, for a really long time.
[00:01:21] And. It’s also sponsored by how does the assembly make money as an entrepreneur, which is the free embodiment practice that gives you guys a little bit of a sneak peek, a little bit of a snippet into what we do inside of financially fast, the great program. So let’s be in, okay. So we’re kind of following through the story of what we’re doing.
[00:01:40] My client, I’m going to call her Sophie. Her name isn’t Sophie, but I care about her anonymity. Sophie came to me because she was noticing that she was having a lot of all of the nervous system response around money inside of her business and inside of her personal finances as well.
[00:01:56] So she noticed that whenever she started to think [00:02:00] about money, she would feel this kind of tension in her chest and a swelling in her belly, but she didn’t really. Feel it that often. It only happened when she got quiet enough, but she didn’t do that very often because she liked to keep herself busy. She was always feeling like she was really scattered and she was always running around and it felt like she was always kind of putting out fires.
[00:02:21] And of course, you know, she’s an entrepreneur, so there’s always fires to put out if you want there to be fires to put out. She just felt really anxious all of the time and like she couldn’t really get ahead. She wanted to feel calm. She wanted to feel. Save She wanted to feel supported. She wanted her work to be sustainable.
[00:02:37] What’s interesting to know is that even when we started working together in that does final decision around, okay, like am I going to put down the deposit to start working with Sheridan? She went back and forth a lot, and it was really difficult for her. And such a beautiful moment for us in both because I feel like in that moment, her and I were able to find like a deeper [00:03:00]relationship, which then helped us work together for the next six months.
[00:03:03] But she went back and forth a lot because she had this voice telling her, Oh no, like you can do it yourself. You don’t make an investment, like put that money somewhere else. But she also had this internal voice. Pull of, okay, I know that there’s something here for me. I can’t totally explain it. But then she’d go back into the voice of like, yeah, but remember that one time when you put money into something and like, it didn’t work, you didn’t get the results that you wanted, but then she kind of had like this inkling towards me.
[00:03:27] It was hard. I get it. Cause I’ve, I’ve been there and a lot of people that work with me, uh, find themselves there. I find myself there every now and again, just a little bit when I’m looking at larger investments. So she was really courageous and she made the decision to begin working with me, which was really, really lovely.
[00:03:46] And we use the body based business method, regulations, somatic inquiry, and then strategy and anchoring, to move forward. And that’s what I’m going to share with you today. So you really want to listen to this. If you identify
[00:04:00]with being in that place of you have some anxiety around money, you’re not really sure how, what to do to make the most money.
[00:04:09] You really want to do it in an easy and efficient way, I’m going to ask for, Forgiveness in advance, because what I’m about to share with you is going to touch on kind of an epicenter of pain for some of you.
[00:04:23] So if he had that tension in her chest and the swelling in her belly, and of course, we needed to look at it from a place of immediate concern. Ease finding immediate ease. But we had to deal with the fact that she was staying really busy and frantic in order to avoid feeling that way. You guys might notice that you do this, I’ve certainly done this before in my life, where you just kind of fill your calendar.
[00:04:44] You’re like, wow, how did I get so busy? And then that, that moment that morning you have, that’s cool and pa calm and easy. Something feels off and you notice that little feeling, that little nagging inside of like, ah. This is what’s been underneath all the business. [00:05:00] This is what I’ve been trying to avoid.
[00:05:02] So slowly we had to increase her capacity to be with that sensation and so that she didn’t have to say busy and overworked and burnt out so that she could find softness and ease. And then once we found her capacity to be with that sensation, that tension in her chest and that swelling in her belly, which was accompanied by all of the thoughts around what should I do and how should my marketing be?
[00:05:25] And Oh my God, what should I do with my money? We did a somatic inquiry to get to know what we call the body compass, but he was trying to communicate something with her and we needed to understand it better. This is the difference between anxious and smart and successful entrepreneurs and just anxious entrepreneurs.
[00:05:47] Perfectionist entrepreneurs are overworking overthinking entrepreneurs. That trigger that tension, when we found, we found both trigger points and incongruence. [00:06:00] Anxiety is simultaneously a messenger telling you that there is something inside that needs to be looked at. It is a sign that your body thinks that you are in unsafe or lacking safety when perhaps you are not.
[00:06:14] It is also a messenger from the world, from your future self or from the universe or, or from somatic intelligence or intuition, giving you the exact steps that you need in the exact moment to get to where you really want to be. If you’re regulated and if you know how to use it, it is a very difficult thing to learn, to navigate that requires practice and patience and curiosity.
[00:06:41] That’s why I’m asking you to understand the nuance here, but it is a podcast, so I need to speak a little bit in black and white. So sometimes it is a trigger. What we found when we went inside, we found Sophie had three consistent responses. So I think that. You’ll resonate with either one of these or all of them, perhaps.
[00:07:00] So we went inside and we found that these, these feelings and these scenarios around money. So she had like some ad spend that she wanted to do. She had to look at her taxes. She would do a bookkeeping pretty regularly. obviously she wanted to invest in having support and it was, she also had this big dream and desire to make more money.
[00:07:19] She like wanted to make money. Valid. And it was triggering a tension in her chest that was triggering a part of her that was kind of saying, well, if I make more money, then I’m going to need to give it away. And in response to that voice, she would just avoid all of the tasks that would help her to make more money.
[00:07:39] Because this part of her thought, well, I better avoid those tasks because on the other side, I’m going to have more money and then I’m going to have to give it away. And I’m going to be so tired because I did a little work, but I didn’t get any of the money.
[00:07:47] And then that would flip. And sometimes it would appear she would look at a spreadsheet and she would look at a taxes in particular, cause that’s kind of confusing to a lot of us. And she, I just, I can’t do this. She would
[00:08:00]completely collapse and she would have this freeze response and everything would feel heavy and she would procrastinate and things would start to feel helpless.
[00:08:07] And she would start looking at LinkedIn and say, Oh, maybe I could apply for those jobs. It would just, I can’t do this. I don’t have enough. This will never work. I can’t, I can’t. And like you and I have both been there. It’s tiring and sad just being in a place of like, I can’t even some people, even you as you’re listening to this, you might be in a place of like, I just, I can’t, I can’t figure it out.
[00:08:30] I can’t see a way. This is a freeze response. My baby, this is like my love. This is a freeze response. There’s always a way forward. Another way that this appeared for Sophie was , she was really judgmental towards herself and she had this like loud inner critic, I just began noticing it really judgmental towards other people. And particularly around like what type of clothes they would wear, things they would spend their money on, how much they would charge her partner’s [00:09:00] friend asked for a raise for quite a large amount of money. And they sat and they just like really judged him and she was really judgmental towards herself.
[00:09:07] Like you shouldn’t want that because you shouldn’t even eat that because, and this was her fight response. Sometimes it would fight against the world and judge others and be angry at the world. And sometimes it would fight against her and judge herself and be angry at herself.
[00:09:22] Her buddy was going into a fight response because it didn’t feel like it was safe. Why didn’t it feel like it was safe? Because she was consciously pursuing more money. But in her past, her father had been taken advantage of. When he got a raise, he ended up in a situation where he had more money for a period of life and all his friends thought, Oh, well now that, now that George has more money, you know, like I’m entitled to it.
[00:09:44] And then they would judge him because of his car. So she had this feeling and this lived experience of being judged and being kind of objectified because she had more money. And so it was creating inside of her hostility. Like her inner critic was
[00:10:00] on steroids. And so on one hand, we had to go in and we had to look at these different parts and we had to create the internal safety that made them soften.
[00:10:09] And each different part, each different nervous system response needed a different thing. So we had to get curious. I mean, we found that thing. And on the other side, she created safety that allowed us to understand the wisdom that was in the system. beneath the swelling in our belly. So once we were able to kind of dissipate that fear response of like, Oh, okay.
[00:10:32] Yeah. Having money is actually like totally cool. It’s totally safe. Once we’ve normalized that we’ve made that feel safe inside of the bunny body. Now we get access to the intuition and the wisdom and the exact somatic pathway to success. And we found that I’m skipping ahead or maybe a little bit for all of you, but I care about making this It’s easy and efficient for you.
[00:10:57] We found that she was incongruent,
[00:11:00] just like you are sometimes, just like I am somewhere. She’d all this moments where she would say that she values her health, that she was not investing in her retirement for herself in the future to maintain her health. She was not investing in the things that would give her sustainable health.
[00:11:17] And so of course she was feeling swelly in her belly because before she could invest in that next call, she needed to put aside some money. for her health. She wanted to have kids and like, it’s okay. What’s your plan in your country? What, what is the best thing for you? Do you need to save for that prior?
[00:11:34] She said like consciously, she said that she valued personal transformation, personal responsibility, but she had numerous moments where she walked through life without a coach or a professional support system.
[00:11:48] And that just wasn’t creating the environment where she was able to take personal responsibility and able to have transformation. So yeah, she felt anxious about it. Her body felt off. She would look at her
[00:12:00] money. She would look at where it’s going. And there was like a, this isn’t quite right. Something is off.
[00:12:05] And she was able to access that query quickly, very, very quickly. As soon as we created that safety inside and got her really good at reading her buddy compass. Inquiry, which is what we practice together. Additionally, she said that she valued the environment, but she was doing all these things that were not supporting the environment, you know, when you’re doing this.
[00:12:27] You say you value all the things, you say you are this person, you say that you want to be where you are, but you stay, but you stick with the same things that you did last month that didn’t get you where you are, it’s the end of the month again, and you didn’t change anything. And she was feeling that she was completely out of integrity.
[00:12:46] She said she wanted to change, but she wasn’t doing anything to change it. She was running. Busy, keeping herself busy doing all the things, all the things, putting her money in all the places apart from where it would be most
[00:13:00]effective. And so she couldn’t really explain it, but when she started working with me, she knew that that was the journey to everything coming together.
[00:13:09] But it was similar to other moments where she didn’t understand why, but like a piece of her knew like, this is where everything comes together. This time, of course, her brain got scared and doubted herself. This was very true because. You know, when she, when we started working together, she got really good at creating safety inside and then listening to that intuition and that intelligence.
[00:13:32] There was a decision one time that she’s like, I don’t know what this is, but this is that, that specific feeling that I get when I know on the other side that I have to do this very specific thing and I don’t understand why, but I know it’s going to make me money. Guess what? She went to a three day festival.
[00:13:45] She just like hung out at the festival. That was the investment. It didn’t make any sense. It was a freaking dance festival. She left that festival with her highest paying client of her entire life, who happens to also now be her best friend. That’s freaking cool. That’s embodiment. She feels [00:14:00]aligned.
[00:14:00] She feels regulated. She feels connected to everything. So I cannot give you a checklist to read. I want to teach you how to learn to read your compass. You need to read your compass.
