TRANSCRIPT:
[00:00:00] Sheridan: this episode, you’re going to learn the key to differentiating between healthy money anxiety and anxiety that really means that something deep down inside needs to change so that you can receive, save and circulate more money with more ease. You’re going to pinpoint the exact place to focus your energy to feel less anxious making money.
[00:00:22] And you’re going to be able to learn the one embodiment practice that will help you skip reading more books, listening to more podcasts, or spending your Saturday mornings, trying to figure out your projected income over the next six months. And instead maybe go hang out at Pilates and make dumplings.
[00:00:38] That’s what I’ll be doing after this. So if you are a female entrepreneur with who Is trying to figure out how to sustainably make money as an entrepreneur without having to get really anxious or overwork or do things that leave you feeling so depleted that you’re actually considering sitting at a desk for eight hours a
[00:01:00] day in a stuffy office for a salary than pursuing your life’s legacy in work.
[00:01:06] You have probably noticed that sometimes you get a little bit anxious about money. This specific podcast is full of people who I’m not talking about like, Oh, An expense came up and it was more than I thought and I had anxiety for 15 minutes and I figured it out. I’m something that is very transient and very kind of like specific to a specific event and doesn’t happen very often.
[00:01:29] I’m talking about a deeper in your bones, in your gut, you can like feel it inside of your body and sometimes it feels like you don’t even know really what’s wrong. This discomfort or anxiety around money that is impacting the larger patterns that you have that influence the numbers in your bank account.
[00:01:50] You’ll know that you have this deeper, um, insecurity is the word I’m going to use, or unconscious pattern,
[00:02:00] nervous system based pattern around money. If you identify with some of the things that I’m about to share with you at the moment, number one would be You’ve gotten yourself set up. You’ve got some savings.
[00:02:12] You’ve done a really great job in your career, but as you transition to entrepreneurship, you feel like there’s a lot of uncertainty. Perhaps it feels like insecurity. And so you notice yourself really tensing up around it. a lot of the purchases that you really could do like buying more expensive local honey or getting the really nice eggs or that yoga membership that you really want.
[00:02:37] You find yourself holding your breath when you spend your credit card or tense tension in your jaw when you get the statement or log into your app to have a look at the balance. You might notice that your head kind of low as your chin ducks and your chest sinks when you consider. The past investments that you’ve made programs, coaches, courses, and even [00:03:00]perhaps therapists that have given you a proven pathway to quick and rapid results that didn’t work.
[00:03:08] You probably have some savings to invest, but you procrastinate it because it feels like in any moment, the other foot could drop and it would be better for you to have cash. However, that cash is just sitting in your bank account depreciating because even the best interest rates at the moment for savings accounts.
[00:03:26] struggle to, to cover inflation and increased cost of living. So perhaps you wake up with a flutter in your chest and racing thoughts of I should have done more earlier, or you’re not doing enough now. You don’t need that. You don’t know what you’re doing. You don’t own enough to afford that. You shouldn’t buy that because you might need the money now.
[00:03:45] And then you have to like journal for 45 minutes to release all of that instead of using that precious time to take action towards your goals. You might have a business set up, but sales have, um, dried up. This is the word that I hear a lot of people say, [00:04:00] and you are beginning to run out of motivation and you’re getting a little bit nervous.
[00:04:04] So it’s difficult for you to make the changes that would be necessary for you to bring in more sales. You’ve purchased heaps of courses on how to upskill for your business, but you procrastinate taking them and you are yet to complete one. If you feel this way, you’ve probably looked into productivity.
[00:04:21] You’ve probably read some money books. You’ve like listened to podcasts. You probably are following a couple of people on Instagram. Maybe you’ve worked with a financial planner or a financial coach before, but what you haven’t are assimilated down deep into the Soma, that essence inside of your body, your bones, your fascia, You the essence of you, what you haven’t assimilated and haven’t learned is that everything that’s going on.
[00:04:50] Yes, it is happening within the landscape of money, but it has nothing to do with money. It has everything to do with your nervous systems attachment [00:05:00]or relationship to love and love. Security and belonging, something that was created and now lives in the somatic structure of your bone and creates feelings and thoughts and emotions and sensations.
[00:05:16] Something that was created in the first three years of your life from the time you were in the uterus. What happens is your body Your nervous system is always looking to answer one of two questions. Am I safe? Am I loved? Am I safe? Am I loved? Am I safe? Am I loved? And the way that we answer those questions when we are a little infant and a little baby is we look to our parents and we learn about the world through learning how to get the safety and the provision of our parents and the love of our parents.
[00:05:50] So, What happens is our parents are imperfect people who can’t always be there in the way that we want. We really want them to just anticipate [00:06:00]our needs and we never want to feel any discomfort at all, ever. Unfortunately life doesn’t work like that and our body begins to orient towards our beautiful caregivers to give us things.
[00:06:12] and provide things for us, at some point that connection, that assimilation of our needs is broken and our nervous system, even without our conscious mind being involved. So you might be like, no, I have a really secure attachment. You can have a secure attachment and still be affected by your nervous systems, difficulties around money.
[00:06:33] That’s probably statistically what’s happening actually, because if 50 percent of people have statistically secure attachments, but I wouldn’t say everybody has that about money. You probably have a great attachment. You’re going to have a relationship with love. That’s really wonderful. But your relationship with money a little bit different.
[00:06:52] That’s true for a lot of people. And it creates these stories about money and it projects them onto money. So at
[00:07:00] first it started with your caregivers, then What ends up as we become adult representing belonging, love, and security. It’s now no longer what our mother and father are doing. It’s what our bank account is doing because that influences so much of our life, who we are, who we, um, relate with the decisions that we make in our life, whether or not we can do certain activities, what type of clothes that we wear, how secure we feel.
[00:07:26] And so money is this neutral space and all of these fears get projected onto All of these wounds get projected onto it. The wounds that were created that are now living in the energetic blueprints of how your body thinks about belonging, safety, love, money, feels about it, gives you emotions about it, or give you certain urges about it.
[00:07:51] And until these, wounds are healed on a somatic level. You’re just going to end up in the same patents
[00:08:00] because you’re holding certain beliefs, certain structures inside of your nervous system that your body just wants to, it wants to find evidence that they’re true. That’s how beliefs work. Our body is looking to confirm everything all the time.
[00:08:13] So let’s say that you ended up creating an experience with money Or your loved ones that deep down created a, an idea inside of you that there’s something wrong with you. So you tend to feel pretty heavy. You feel like somebody’s like going to shine light and like if you were in more of a leadership position then they would like know that there’s something wrong with you.
[00:08:32] Or maybe you develop this idea that like the world is just unsafe and things can be ripped away from me at any time. Yeah, so you’re pretty, you’re probably really hoping to save some money, hey, because like just in case and it’s just a feeling that you kind of walk around with, you don’t even notice that you have it because it’s just so normal, but it’s reflected in the fact that you have struggle, you struggle to invest when you really should be instead of having cash appreciate, depreciate.[00:09:00]
[00:09:00] Or what about like if you develop a wound of I’m going to be kind of invaded, people aren’t going to want to give me the space that I need to be myself. You might actually push away money. You might do things like be like, No, at the end of sales calls you got really kind of standoffish or you like to spend your money.
[00:09:21] You don’t like being in that place where you’re so full of something. You might have a wound of I’m not enough so you use your money whether that’s saving it or spending it. Or working really hard to get it, to prove that you are worthy. Or maybe you move, you use your money to be really, really big because yours is, I am unseen, I am unheard.
[00:09:46] Or maybe you use it because you want to feel included. So everything you’re doing related to money is trying to prove that you should be included somewhere. And that’s why you’re so anxious about it because it feels off. It’s coming from fear. [00:10:00] And there are so many other Wounds that we have that we can have that then get projected onto our money.
[00:10:09] I am trapped. I am disrespected. I am weak. I, um, will be rejected. I am the one that’s always disconnected. I’m going to be excluded, et cetera. There are so many different wounds. It would be impossible to go through them all inside of a podcast. And it’s also not that helpful just to be thinking about it and talking about it.
[00:10:31] So what we are going to do instead is I’m going to invite you to a free masterclass. This, it’s, it’s a free training. Really? This training is going to come in the form of an embodiment practice. It’s Is the embodiment practice that I truly believe all intuitive and successful entrepreneurs are either practicing already or need to know very deeply in order to increase their income while feeling in control of and proud of their finances.
