creative entrepreneurs livingout their dreams, doing the work

and fun ways, while building asix-figure income as a writer

.
I've connected with so manyincredible people and seen it
(00:34):
proven again and again that youcan thrive financially doing
whatever it is you arepassionate about.
I am here to sharelife-changing strategies for
mindset, making money andreaching more people with your
work in a business and lifefilled with creativity, freedom
and fun.
Hi, sarah Mack here fromwithsarahmackcom, and it's time
(01:04):
to dive into some money mindsetalong the lines of the most
prominent themes happening rightnow in Aries season.
So definitely check out thecontent prompts that I made for
Aries season last week and Iwant to tell you how you can use
this series that I'm creating.
(01:25):
So for every season, I'm goingto be releasing content prompts
and money mindset prompts, andI've actually been doing this, I
think, since Libra season.
So the idea is the contentprompts just create some
inspiration for you to reallytune into some topics and themes
of the moment that are reallygoing to resonate with your
(01:45):
people and to give you somefresh inspiration for you to
really tune into some topics andthemes of the moment that are
really going to resonate withyour people and to give you some
fresh inspiration forstorytelling in your brand and
business.
And the money mindset promptsare to inspire you for you know
some new angles that areparticularly prevalent right now
, to support you in your owntransformation, in your
relationship with money and tokeep doing the money work.
And I'm putting these promptson my grid on my Instagram at
(02:10):
creative magic club.
I'm going to make a littlehighlight reel so you can go in
and find the prompts and youknow they'll connect you back to
that specific episode if youwant to come and re-listen.
So you know these prompts arenot only useful during the
particular astrological seasonthat they're created for, but
you can also use them whenyou're diving into your other
(02:32):
placements in your astrologychart.
So let's say you know you'rethinking about your like
one-to-one relationships orclient relationships and you're
looking at your seventh house,look at what sign that's in and
then you can go and pick thecontent prompts or the money
prompts for that particular signand do some journaling within
that context.
(02:52):
So you can absolutely use theseprompts, for you know the
different houses and thedifferent planet placements in
your chart, or you know, ifyou're just going through
something and and the energy ofthat sign is particularly
resonant for you in that moment,I'll probably put a page up on
my website and link to all ofthem so it's clear for you to
find as a resource as well.
(03:13):
These have been so much fun forme to create and for me to, you
know, dive into my ownreflection with what's coming up
for me in the moment.
So I really hope you like themand that you find them valuable.
I'm like so grateful thatyou're here and listening and
have come to play with me onthis podcast adventure.
I'm having so much fun doing it.
I would love to hear feedbackfrom you and you know if you
(03:35):
have any questions or there'stopics that you really want to
hear me dive more into, I'm sohere for that.
Just send me, send me an emailor message me on social media.
So, aries is all about identity,which is, you know, really,
what the money work is all about, and so I think it's just such
a great time to be having thisconversation and it's about the
(03:59):
me versus we, and you know thisone is really specific for all
of you out there who are myaudience, your healers, your
coaches, your creatives, yourlovers, your givers, and one of
our biggest issues is beingappropriately compensated for
all that.
We are, you know, in a culturethat has historically, you know,
(04:22):
not valued highly a lot of thethings that we stand for and a
lot of the gifts and skills andtalents that we contribute um or
we've, you know, been takenadvantage of or um extorted or
it's just been, you know,there's been barriers and um
gatekeepers around opportunitiesto bring the magic that we are
(04:44):
into our culture and our societyand to be well recognised, well
understood and highlycompensated.
Obviously, we're in a reallyexciting time where all of that
is changing and it requires alot of identity work and a lot
of mindset work to really shedthese old belief systems and
these old self-perceptions thatmaybe keep us well, definitely
(05:07):
keep us limited in the types ofactions that we take because of
fear, doubt or a lack of beliefor, you know, a lack of prior
evidence or a big like shit pileof evidence that it's been hard
or impossible for us in thepast.
So there's a lot of opportunityand growth available to us in
this season and the way that wecan access that is by really
(05:31):
tapping into that Ariesconfidence, that warrior energy,
being willing to beconfrontational and really, you
know, highly prioritisinglistening to and taking care of
ourselves and our bodies andputting boundaries up to protect
our independence, really doingthat deep work to connect to
(05:52):
that deep sense of self-esteemthat has been challenged by
social conditioning and toreally practice leaning into our
edges, around being assertive,around taking up space for that
and around not being availablefor people to not meet us where
we really need to be met inorder to be fully expressed and
(06:17):
to, you know, experience the joyof full self-expression and,
you know, being radically wellcompensated for the magic that
we bring to the world.
So Aries is a fire sign, it'sabout the head, it's that fire
starter getting started,cardinal energy and it's the I
(06:40):
am.
It's all about identity andwhat we declare and what we
choose to embody, and you knowwhat happens as a result of
those choices.
So interestingly, at the timeof recording, we actually have
some other planets.
In Aries we have Chiron, andChiron in Aries is all about the
(07:02):
wound of self and transformingfeelings of worthlessness and
feelings of not belonging andhealing shame, and I feel like
that's just.
You know, that's what we'redoing on this podcast.
That's what we're doing ascreative entrepreneurs, as
healers, as content creators, aspersonal brands right, we're
(07:22):
taking up space and assertingour value and staking claim for
the value that we contributethrough our intellectual
property, our ideas, ourcreativity, our innate wisdom.
And this is, you know, really,really important work.
This is work that I've had todeeply, deeply dive into to get
(07:43):
to a place where I was makingthe moves to raise my prices and
, you know, find my way tocreate authentic, heart-centered
ways of selling in my businessthat felt really good for me and
that have been working for meconsistently and created an
ecosystem where I feel like Iget to be myself in my work.
This has really, you know,always been the driving factor
(08:04):
in my business and these um, youknow, it's these patterns that
we pick up, these stories thatwe picked up around oh, you
shouldn't do this, or you're tothis, or you're not enough, this
, or that's not safe, or youknow everyone else's opinions
about who we are and what weshould or shouldn't be doing
(08:24):
that we have to like, reallyblast through, to create a
belief system that makes it feeleasy for us to show up
consistently for ourselves inthe way that is right for us and
in a way that allowsconsistency in our income, in
(08:45):
the way that we make money andthe way that we're making impact
is, you know, allowing us to beourselves.
And this is really the mindsetwork that makes it easier and
easier and allows us to tap intothose gifts that feel really
natural to us, that really giveus the power to, you know, have
(09:08):
impact in bigger and bigger ways, while it without it, feeling
like we have to push or we haveto try to be something that
we're not, or we have to makesacrifices that don't feel an
integrity with who we are, inour value system, and really
carving those paths to do thework that nourishes you and
allows your full self-expression, for your most potent and
(09:30):
powerful gifts to be expressed,and finding satisfaction in your
greatest contribution.
So, you know, I think this is atime, with Aries, where, like,
let's work a little bit harderto do this, you know, and
working harder in the right ways, not pushing against the grain,
but being bringing morestrength to carving out the path
(09:54):
that's going to feel so goodwhen we've carved it out right,
instead of just going down thepath.
That doesn't feel that good,but it's already been carved out
.
For us to pick up the machete,to go and do some bushwhacking,
bring that warrior strength,knowing that it's going to be so
satisfying when we get to walkthat path that we wanted to be
(10:14):
walking in the first place.
Um, you know and I, it'sspringtime and I just planted a
bunch of seeds in my garden,which was like I feel like I'm
just taking action on so manythings that I've been wanting to
take action on for a while andit feels really good.
And they're so tiny, theselittle seeds, and you, you push
them in the soil and you have towait, right, but thinking about
(10:36):
the power that it takes forsomething to grow and burst out
of a seed and push through thesoil, like that's the kind of
energy that we're in right now,like be willing to muscle in to
the growth that's gonna be sobeautiful and so rewarding when
it, you know, comes full bloomand you know, making moves from
(10:58):
that place, that you deserve tohave everything that you need,
you deserve to do the work thatyou want to be doing.
You deserve to have incredibleclients you need, you deserve to
do the work that you want to bedoing.
You deserve to have incredibleclients that you love working
with.
You deserve to be consistentlyand highly compensated for your
gifts and talents.
And that's the mindset that'sreally the foundation for this.
And there's work to be done Ifthat doesn't feel like absolute,
(11:21):
complete, totally embodiedtruth for you.
There's work to be done on themindset to really recondition
all of the you know centuries ofthought patterns that we've
inherited from many generationsof our lineage, for whom this
was never possible.
And when you take action fromthis mindset, when you really
(11:44):
build that strong mindset andthat is, you know the fertile
soil that you decide to plantseeds in then what you desire
will become your reality.
So this is about doing the what, doing the work to get to the
mindset where it feels naturaland in flow for you to be
(12:06):
creating consistentopportunities, consistent
clients, to be attracting andmagnetizing invitations and
collaborations and connections,and fulfilling relationships and
work, and building systems andways of working that support you
, that don't require you tosacrifice your health, your
happiness or your sense ofintegrity.
(12:27):
So there's a lot to unpackaround this topic and, you know,
recognising that the mindsetwork is really the, the antidote
to a world that has shamed andblamed us for centuries, and
that this is the strength thatwe require to carve new paths
(12:50):
and structures that have beenbuilt to extract our power
rather than nurture it and tolive life in alignment with who
we really are in this way.
That's an act of resistance,and resistance requires strength
.
And resistance isn't alwayseasy, right, but I always
(13:11):
believe in there's like twouncomfortable choices the
uncomfortable choice of doingwhat isn't an alignment for us
that is just like going to wearus down and drain our energy or
the discomfort of carving thepath that's right for us, where,
yeah, it's not going to benecessarily comfortable, it's
definitely going to beuncomfortable.
It's it's definitely going tobe uncomfortable, but the joy
and the satisfaction and thefulfillment that comes as a
(13:34):
result of that, you know, makesthat the better choice than
sacrificing and going with thestatus quo for the sake of
keeping the peace in other ways.
And it requires doing thingsdifferently than others.
It requires breaking otherpeople's expectations, being
willing to be different and tomake other people uncomfortable.
You know that's part of thepackage to liberation and full
(13:59):
self-expression and authenticity.
And the other planet that's inAries right now is the north
node, which is really all aboutlearning about your wants and
needs, of your authentic selfand knowing that when we connect
to those more deeply, we'reactually more easily able to
relate more deeply and honestlywith others.
(14:20):
And I love thinking about thisnot only in terms of our
relationship to self, which isreally what the mindset work is
all about.
And then the next layer of thatis obviously our relationships
in our personal life, which arereally big contributors to our
sense of confidence and who weare and our feeling of strength
on a day-to-day basis.
Like we're social creatures, weneed to have, um, we need to
(14:42):
have that support in communityand to be seen by people who
really celebrate us for who notonly who we are, but who we're
trying to be.
You know really celebratingthat people who are on this path
of expressing themselves at thenext level and seeing what that
is.
And you know being in theunknown and allowing that to
(15:02):
unfold and allowing ourselves tocarve a different path and to
experiment and try and fail, andallowing ourselves to carve a
different path and to experimentand try and fail.
It's so, so important to beseen and to be radically
celebrated, because without thatit's so hard.
And so when we give thosethings to ourselves like
obviously giving that toourselves first, with the
(15:22):
mindset work that we do,cultivating supportive community
in our personal life and, youknow, through our support
systems that then makes it somuch easier to go out and be
public and to sell ourselves,you know, sell our ideas to the
culture, to new clients, to newcollaborators, and to be able to
do that really from a place ofauthenticity and rootedness in
(15:47):
who we really are and the waythat we really want to be doing
things and being able to leadfrom that place of conviction
for what your needs and desiresare, in spite of, you know,
uncertainty or in spite ofsocial pressures.
And you know we're trailblazersover here in this corner of the
internet.
We're doing things differentlythan maybe anybody in our family
(16:08):
has ever done before.
We have new opportunitiesavailable to us and we're using
them and we're creating withthem.
And, you know, uncertainty is apart of that package.
And the other end of thespectrum of the Aries north node
is the Libra South Node, whichI know one of the greatest
afflictions of women creators ispeople pleasing, right, and
(16:32):
that's obviously socialconditioning.
Everybody loves us when we puteverybody else first and
sacrifice ourselves and, youknow, put our bodies last on the
to-do list until we burn outand break down.
But everyone else is happy,right?
How many of us have experiencedthis or are constantly working
against like being in that place, that is, if we just go with
(16:56):
the flow and go with the systemsand the conditioned ways of
being like.
That's where we end up, ifwe're not constantly navigating
this resistance to live in adifferent way.
So we've just had the full moonlunar eclipse in libra.
So if you've had funky stuffgoing on in your relationships,
you've been feeling triggeredand highly uncomfortable, or
(17:19):
you've been having to negotiateboundaries with yourself and
with people in your life or yourbusiness.
Just, you know, know thatthat's what's happening right
now, and the fastest way to movethrough these is to harvest our
lessons, right.
Who was I being in thissituation?
Who am I being asked to stepinto to make this easier on
(17:41):
myself and maybe others maybenot necessarily others, but
really prioritizing the thingsthat you value and the ways of
being that are going to make iteasier for you to fulfill your
vision and your mission.
And then we also have Mercuryin Aries right now, so Mercury
is all about communication.
(18:01):
So this is time to be loud, youknow, to speak up to like make
moves, to like tell people aboutthe work that you're doing and
invite people into your projectsto have those important
conversations.
Um.
So there's a lot of power rightnow, in this particular season,
(18:22):
for us to be making moves,going all in, going big, really
capitalizing on that springenergy to embed that next level
of identity and that next levelof expression that's going to
unlock all those you know newresults, new relationships, new
um levels of success andexpansion.
So it's a really, reallyawesome time and I've been
(18:44):
making some big moves over here.
I've been writing a lot, whichhas just always been consistent,
burning desire that neverleaves me alone, that the thing
I always want to be doing moreof is writing and creating.
I do a significant amount ofthat.
Every day.
I'm back in full swing with mybook edit.
It's like getting into thefinal stages of getting ready to
publish, which is reallyexciting.
I'm really enjoying it, andthat, again, is all about
(19:07):
identity in our relationship tomoney.
I'm so excited for you to readit and to get it out there.
And you know, time to create hasalways been the vision for me
behind my business and the goalof my business, which is why I
serve my clients mainly throughVoxer messaging and talking to
(19:28):
them each day through that app,rather than having a bunch of
calls on my schedule even thoughI love coaching calls and I
love, you know, getting on Zoomand supporting my clients.
But having that balance of justthe right amount, but not too
many, is really the sweet spotfor me in my business.
That's just working for me sowell right now and it gives me
(19:49):
more freedom and expansion in myschedule to play more and, you
know, in bigger, more expansiveways and to have the capacity to
um like, play with more of myfriends.
Because I'm like my inner childas a Leo son, my inner child is
running my business and it it's.
You know, that's always beenthe impulse for me and it's why
(20:13):
I always make decisions thatlead to the most fun and play
for me.
And this is why I've had tofocus very intentionally on
money, because it's not at allmy primary motivator.
I love money.
I've always wanted to make alot of money because of the
freedom that I see that itcreates for us in this world,
and without money, I'm verylimited right.
So I've definitely been feelingvery fruitful with this spring
(20:38):
Aries energy in my business.
I've been working on a reallyexciting new free series which,
honestly, is like a coursethat's super valuable, that I
could definitely sell forhundreds of dollars, but I feel
really excited to share it withyou for free as a resource, and
I'm actually going to be divinginto one of my absolute
favourite areas of the astrologychart for helping entrepreneurs
(20:59):
with their messagingspecifically and it's just, I
didn't plan it, you know, torelease it at this time.
I didn't realise that Chironand Mercury and the North Node
were gonna be in Aries and itliterally could not be more of a
perfect time astrologically tobe talking about healing ourself
and others throughacknowledging our story and
(21:21):
sharing it in our brandmessaging.
I'm really showing active andbold leadership through powerful
communication that reveals thetruth of your authentic identity
and involves, evolves ourcommunities as we're doing it,
and these are the themes of thisfree series, which is going
really deep into understandingsoulmate client attraction and
(21:44):
how to use astrology to reallybe seen and to become super
magnetic to those soulconnections that bring a whole
new level of meaning and impactand enjoyment in your work.
This is really my, mysuperpower in business and in
helping clients, and also wejust had the full moon eclipse
in Libra, which is all aboutrelationships.
So this is so perfect.
You're gonna love it.
I'm so excited about it.
(22:05):
There's gonna be five really,really epic, value-packed
trainings.
It's been such a joy for me tocreate for you and I honestly
can't wait to share it with youand to hear what you think about
it.
So let's dive in to some moneywork.
I'll put the link to thetraining in the free series so
you can sign up for that and getall the emails with the links
(22:25):
to the trainings and theresources.
Let's talk about money for Ariesseason.
So you know, tuning back intothis theme of if you haven't
been feeling fairly compensated,you're not feeling overflowing
with abundance or you're notfeeling.
Or maybe you're feelingfinancially abundant but you're
not feeling abundant in the waythat you are generating that
(22:48):
money.
Um, really being in alignmentwith your true desires for your
work and your contributions,doing that with people that feel
like soulmate connections thisis what I want you to really
tune into as you go throughthese prompts that I've designed
for you, because there's workto be done right.
I'm a big believer that we getto choose, and it's up to us to
(23:11):
choose the things that feel goodto us.
So the first step in that isreally acknowledging truly what
we desire, and now is a reallypowerful time to make some moves
and to make them from a renewedand more powerful place than
before.
So this is my intention behindthese prompts for you.
So number one is an invitationto assess your current position.
(23:36):
Where you are right now.
This is your starting line foryour next transition.
So it's time to take stock.
And you know, as a recovering,completely like ostrich head in
the sand, total money avoidant,please don't underestimate how
important and powerful this stepis.
And even if you're like oh no,like I'm not like you I look at
(23:57):
my, my money and my numbers.
There's always an uncomfortablething that we're avoiding and
we're not really looking at.
So I want you to take this youknow this spicy spring energy to
be brave and look at the areasthat you have maybe even been
avoiding.
Looking at what about yourcurrent relationship with money?
Do you not love what is causingyou stress and tension, even if
(24:20):
it's like low grade, just kindof in the background, like, oh,
that credit card that you knowthe balance has just been
creeping up, or the fact thatyou know your um investment
contributions like aren'tnecessarily a part of a clear
plan, with you know a time and adate and a goal and a money,
dollar amount to be able toretire at some point in your
(24:40):
life, like whatever it is foryou, maybe it's um a type of
client that you keep saying yesto, that actually is just like
really draining your energy.
So what don't you have in placeright now that you really
really desire in your life andyour career and your finances?
And you know, just take care ofthe emotions that come up for
(25:01):
you around this.
Be really present with them,listen to them, take a deep
breath, feel them them.
Listen to them.
Take a deep breath, feel them,journal them out um, you can't
change what you don't address.
So now you've done all thisbrave work that most people
don't do, which is why you'regoing to be the person that
creates a change that everyone'sgoing to be celebrating you for
(25:21):
is next step to identify thechanges that you desire to make.
So now you've got this intel onyour starting line, take
everything you named in the lastprompt and rewrite that story
to focus on your next goal, yournext level or the next version
of reality that you would be sograteful to be living, and get
(25:44):
into the details with this.
And you can go either way withthis.
If you want to like go big, big, big, big, big, big vision, go
for it.
But if you just want to takeone step to that next level like
, oh, if I just had like anextra thousand dollars a month,
you know what would I be doingwith that?
What would my life look like?
What decisions would I bemaking?
We can't create what we don'thave clarity around.
(26:06):
So set that new, clear, feelgood direction for the things
that you know you desire in yourlife, your work and your
financial health.
Just identify the things youknow that you're like, if I had
enough money to, I don't know,get a massage once an extra time
a month.
Or do like go to the spa.
Or, I don't know, get my nailsdone, or whatever, buy that
(26:28):
expensive smoothie that I alwaysgive myself a hard time
forgetting, like, whatever it isfor you, maybe it's, you know,
upping your contribution to yourinvestment account or your
savings account.
There's no right or wrong.
Just get clear on what you wantand put it down, and then your
prompt number three is toconnect this back to your next
(26:50):
level identity.
So imagine you're at your nextlevel already.
What do you believe to be trueabout yourself and the world as
the kind of person who's fullycapable of creating all of this
goodness and then create some?
I am statements.
Statements remember Aries isall about the I am.
It's all about identity.
It's all about, um, you know,creating that power from within.
(27:14):
So I am good at saving andinvesting.
I am good at making money.
I am consistent with my wealthbuilding activities.
I am committed to following mysoul in my work.
I'm good at selling andmarketing.
I am good at attracting all theright people I need to bring my
vision to life.
I am a magnetic to my soulmateclients.
(27:37):
I'm in demand for my work.
I am a powerful leader.
I am a change maker.
I am confident in my ability tobring my desires to life.
I am trustworthy.
I am capable of meeting myneeds and desires.
So go on a big rant, get thosebeliefs out and notice how you
feel after you do this.
(27:58):
Notice what comes up wheneveryou do these types of prompts.
Pay attention to the inspiredactions and the ideas that start
to drop in for you, like noticethose impulses of oh yeah, I
should go and talk about this onmy stories, or I should.
There's that client that I wantto follow up with, or there's
this offer I'm really excitedabout putting out.
I'm gonna go and take someaction on it.
(28:19):
Like the faster you cantranslate inspiration and
insight into action, the fasteryour reality is going to change.
So check in with yourself.
How do you feel after goingthrough this process?
And, most importantly, you knowthinking from this place of
empowerment, of that Arieswarrior strength.
(28:42):
Make peace with where you areright now.
You know we leak so much energyand buying into shame patterns,
self-depreciating thoughts thatwe've picked up from the
culture.
Right like detaching from thatand not giving your power away
to anxiety around money, toanxiety about your goals, and
(29:05):
making peace with where you are,accepting that, being able to
look at it, being able to bewith any emotion that comes up
and know I'm okay in this moment.
I am okay, I am enough, knowthat you are enough and you have
everything it takes to getwhere you're going, and you can
choose this identity shift todayand every day going forward.
(29:26):
So I would love to know what'sone action you feel inspired to
take after going through thisprocess and listening to this
episode.
I would love to know what thisbrought up for you, and you know
, remember you are only a skillset and a committed set of
habits or action steps away frombuilding the wealth that you
(29:49):
desire in the way that makes youtruly happy.
So keep going, keep putting onefoot in front of the other, and
it all starts with youbelieving in yourself and making
moves accordingly.
The better your moves, thebetter your outcomes.
So I would love to hear yourtakeaways.
Send me a message on instagramat creative magic club, and I'm
(30:09):
so excited for the free seriesthat's going to be dropping next
week.
Make sure you check it out andI will see you on the podcast
very soon.
