(00:58):
Hi, sarah Mack, here fromwithsarahmackcom, and I'm here
with some supercharged moneyalignment journaling prompts to
help you have an incomebreakthrough in cancer season.
So how's it going so far?
Like what have you been feelingin cancer season?
(01:20):
If you haven't already listenedto last week's podcast where I
shared some amazing contentprompts for cancer season and
kind of introduced some of themain themes that we're working
with, definitely go back andlisten to that one and let's
dive into the money side of thisconversation.
So, as I mentioned last week,my Venus is actually in Cancer,
(01:47):
so Cancerian energy plays a bigrole in the way that I make
money and for those of youwho've been following my story
for a while, you know this isnot news that I've really
struggled emotionally in myrelationship with money and
really leaning into what is areally like cancerian concept is
nurturing and this is kind of anew lens for me to understand
(02:12):
my journey with money.
But since diving into andexploring my venus and cancer
placement more and more, it'skind of, you know, it's been
landing and clicking and makingsense and actually this is a
concept that I discovered veryearly on, right before I kind of
made the pivot intoentrepreneurship.
(02:32):
I really began listening tomyself, listening to my desires
and actually taking action onthem and creating support for
myself to be able to do so.
Because this is a concept that Ifirst discovered in Julia
Cameron's work in the Artist'sWay about safety really being a
prerequisite to creative risk,because a lot of the time we're
(02:58):
told to hustle and push and workhard and go, go, go, go, go, go
go, and that's very often theway that we've been conditioned
to work and something thatleaning into more of my
creativity in my career and theway that I make money has taught
me is that creativity has to benurtured and this is actually
(03:18):
our greatest power.
It's our creative power.
It's not just following astep-by-step strategy.
You know the push, push, push.
That's like the employeemindset.
But when you want to realize avision and you want to make an
impact, that is your soul work,that is from your heart, that is
bringing something to fruitionthat doesn't exist.
(03:39):
This is creative work, andcreative work requires
nurturance.
And, yes, obviously you canstill burn out within that
process if you don't have goodboundaries around that.
So there's many, many layers tothis conversation, but I want to
really focus on this concept ofnurturing in our relationship
(04:00):
with money in today's episodeand for you to really reflect on
that for yourself, becausethere's just so much to unpack
here.
Like give ourselves such a hardtime.
We hold so much shame.
We, you know, we're like theworst boss in the world to
ourselves in our own businessgiving ourselves a hard time for
not being where we want to beyet, shaming ourselves,
(04:21):
comparing ourselves constantly,being caught up in narratives of
not being good enough, notbeing there yet, what's wrong,
what you know, I'm not perfectenough, need to try harder, need
to push more.
Oh, I didn't follow through,I'm not good enough, I didn't
get my to-do list done, blah,blah, blah, blah, blah.
So what is the flip side of that?
Because obviously we don't wantto.
(04:42):
Just, you know, yeah, soft girlera is a trend, but we
definitely want to show up anddo the work.
We definitely need thatmasculine action and we
definitely need that support andthose structures that allow our
creative genius to be realizedand to come to fruition, which
isn't going to happen justsitting around dreaming about it
and coddling ourselves.
So the way that I'm kind ofconnecting with this cancer is
(05:05):
that mothering energy thatcreates results, right Like the
mother who takes a stand, who is, like, unavailable for anything
other than survival and iswilling to deeply, deeply care
for the projects and people thatare a part of our creative
visions and a part of that care.
(05:27):
Like true care is veryboundaried.
True care is consistent andunwavering, but it's also
compassionate and caring andit's fluid and flexible, like
it's all of those things.
And this water element can bevery difficult, you know, it's
(05:48):
like I definitely have struggledwith emotional health and
wellness and management and I'vehad that fear of if I let
myself feel all my feelings,then my feelings will overwhelm
me and then nothing will everhappen.
I'll get dragged under, becausethat's happened to me many,
many times.
Thankfully, I've learned toolsand lifestyles and support
(06:11):
systems and done a lot of workto create capacity to hold the
full range of my powerfulemotions and to know that I can
flow with it and I can flow outof it and I can hold the
masculine structure and mycommitments and my boundaries
and I can hold my emotionalityand my depth and I can trust
(06:37):
myself to lose control, to knowthat I can bring myself back to
the commitments that support thelifestyle and the direction
that I choose to create formyself.
So this is such a richconversation to think about and,
like any relationship, ourrelationship with money is one
of those places where we meetourselves and we get to face
(07:00):
ourselves and our capacity tohold things and our capacity to
commit and our capacity to careand to prioritize and to
communicate and to be theversion of ourselves that can
maintain health and wellnesswithin a relationship with
another.
And I always say you know,there's that Ram Dass quote
(07:21):
that's like, oh, you thinkyou're spiritually evolved, go
and spend the weekend with yourfamily.
Like, yeah, we get supertriggered by our family and it
can be some of the hardestrelationships because we don't
have the option to just peaceout.
I mean, we do, but there'salways going to be a cost from
that deep bond.
But our relationship with moneyis really something that we
(07:42):
have to face every single day.
Either we're not facing it oragain, similarly to family,
we're kind of carrying theweight of not facing it.
So there's so much for us tolearn, there's so many
opportunities for growth and ouremotions can give us a lot of
data right.
So a big part of thisconversation around our
emotional relationship withmoney and what needs nurturing,
(08:06):
a lot of the time it'sunconscious programming, right,
like it's generational,inherited emotions and thought
patterns.
So a lot of it is unconscious.
So a lot of this work aroundchanging our reality and our
relationship with money is aboutnurturing our relationship with
our unconscious, which you knowwe've all, I'm sure, heard the
(08:29):
analogy of the iceberg.
Our conscious mind is the tipof the iceberg.
Our unconscious mind is likethe huge whopping hunk of ice
underneath the water that wecan't see, that's controlling
absolutely everything about themovement of that iceberg.
Our unconscious resistance,which is something we're all
extremely familiar with asentrepreneurs, is like a scared
(08:49):
child we have to continuallycoax out from under the bed when
we're making big moves andwe're changing and we're
evolving in our life andbusiness, which, let's face it,
is literally every single day.
Unless you're in a place inyour business and life where
you're like I'm good, I don'tneed to make any more changes.
And if you're in a place inyour business and life where
you're like I'm good, I don'tneed to make any more changes.
And if you're in business thatjust doesn't exist, right, if
you're not growing, you'restagnating and dying.
(09:11):
So this is an unavoidable partof the work that if we're not
doing it, we are stagnating anddying, and I've just seen that
for myself.
I like went full in on all themoney, mindset work and the
unconscious shifting in theearly phases of my career in
entrepreneurship.
I got to six figures and waslike I did it.
(09:33):
I got the gold star, I got tothe end of the race and now I'm
here and I don't need to domoney, mindset work anymore.
No, like, we have to maintainit.
We have to.
It's like a garden, right.
We have to continually maintainit if we want to enjoy beauty
and continual growth andevolution is just doing
(09:54):
something, a little somethingevery day, like a short 5-10
minute EFT emotional freedomtapping video, doing some
mindset journaling, reframing mybeliefs, playing music, singing
(10:18):
and dancing to shift thatemotion that I might be carrying
or that might be coming up forme Really like I love.
The fun way for me to maintainthis is to nurture my creativity
.
I nurture myself through mycreativity and there's always a
new, fun way to do it right.
Especially if you're amanifesting generator.
You're like me.
You're going to want to hopfrom thing to thing and that's
(10:39):
okay, you know, I wish there wasa formula Like I mean, there
are tools that I use on repeat,but it's fun to mix it up.
It's fun to give ourselves anew way of supporting this way
that we want to shift.
There's so many teachers,there's so many resources,
there's so many conversationslike listening to money mindset
books on Audible.
Just doing something every dayto nurture that unconscious part
(11:04):
of us that is afraid of growthand making more money and
visibility and all of the thingsthat come with getting to that
next level of financial freedom.
And I've just been talkingabout this like, this is my sun
sign, my Leo, my creativity, andI've been talking about this in
my sun sign online masterclassthis week, which is really
(11:25):
freaking epic If you want tolearn some more tangible tools
to really tap into confidenceand learn how to support
yourself and step into alignmentin fun ways that feel good to
you through aligning with yoursun sign.
It's such a great conversationand you know what?
There is no shortcut to doingthis work and it makes the
(11:47):
biggest difference, which is whyI have all my clients doing
mindset work as just as much aswe're focused on content
strategy and sales strategy, andyou've just got to be
repetitive with it.
You have to be diligent.
The people who create resultsand who create consistent
results are just doing this workand the people who aren't are
(12:08):
the people who aren't, and itshifts everything.
When that child is under thebed freaking out when we're
trying to make moves in ourbusiness, guess what?
It gets a whole lot easier.
I have a really great resourcefor just that repetitive
rewiring, which is my freecreative money meditation.
You can find that on thefreebies tab on my website with
(12:31):
sarahmackcom.
I also have another reallygreat freebie called I think
it's called cash injectionritual.
I actually have a lot of moneymindset freebies, which I should
probably take down and chargemoney for.
So you should go and checkthose out If you want some fresh
inspiration for doing somemoney mindset work.
I'm really diving in and reallycommitting to that next level of
(12:52):
whatever it is that you want inyour finances, whether it's
more clients, whether it's morefreedom, whether it's a
different type of work, whetherit's just more money.
Whatever breakthrough you'relooking to have next, doing this
work will get you there.
So let's dive in to somejournal prompts to create some
shifts and inspire you to dothis work.
That will get you to your nextlevel and let you have an income
(13:14):
breakthrough this cancer season.
So, number one be honest.
Bring that motherly nurturingenergy to yourself.
What are you feeling?
Be honest, address and feelwhat you are feeling Like.
Actually take five minutes outof your day and check in with
(13:35):
yourself.
What hasn't been going so well,what emotions have been coming
up around this for you and whatdo these emotions have to
communicate with you?
And what do these emotions haveto communicate with you and
what actions are they compellingyou to take to create change?
Prompt number two where mightyou have overextended?
Where you could do with somemore nurturing.
(13:59):
What areas of your life don'tfeel great right now?
Identify what is actuallycausing the energy leak.
Maybe it's a really big thing,like a job, or maybe it's a
small thing like oh, I just needto get off my phone after 9pm.
I mean, I know, that's not sucha big thing, that's not such a
small thing, not such a smallfeat.
(14:19):
And check in.
What support or new boundary canyou put in place to feel more
supported, comforted and soothed?
And this is not about coddling.
This is not about givingyourself a free pass for not
doing the hard things, but thisis about really creating the
(14:39):
support that makes you feelstronger, that makes you feel
like you can take on the world.
This is how you should feelabout your dreams and your goals
.
When you have an adequate levelof support, you feel excited
about moving towards your biggoal.
When you feel overwhelmed byyour big goal, that is a huge
clue that there's not theadequate amount of support to
(15:02):
enable you to actually gothrough the growth to get there.
So identify what that is.
Maybe you're, maybe you've takenon too much.
Maybe you're over giving in onearea of your life where you
would rather take that back andreinvest it into another area of
your life.
Maybe there's something thatjust needs to be addressed, like
a health issue or arelationship issue or some
(15:23):
financial management issues.
Pay attention to what is beingasked of you to really get back
into that place of alignment.
Prompt number three where haveyou not been seeing the progress
you would like and what wouldit take to tap into more flow in
this area?
So think back specifically fromthe sources of income that you
(15:43):
either currently have or thatyou would like to have, and
actually walk through every stepof that sales process.
Does it feel clear?
Does it feel in flow andeaseful and exciting?
Or are there some things thatyou know you haven't done yet?
Or are there some things thatjust aren't really in flow, that
kind of feel dysfunctional orthere's some tension around it,
(16:05):
or you're just there's a lack ofclarity perhaps, or you haven't
actually developed a smoothsystem and process to be able to
receive income consistentlythrough that channel.
So pay attention to theseincome streams and ask yourself
what tweaks and changes couldyou make that would make it feel
better and that would create asmooth flow?
(16:26):
So, for an example, I'd beenselling my one-on-one and my
private intensive for a whileactually several months and I
hadn't actually created a salespage, which was fine.
But I had a link to myintensive and I just tidied it
(16:49):
up a little bit, like I didn'teven write a full sales page for
it, I just added some more copy.
I think I added like a coupleof testimonials or uh, like a
banner image, got it to a placewhere I felt like it was good
enough to sell on its own if Ijust shared the link.
And I started sharing the linkon my stories, whereas before I
was like, oh, dm me and you knowI was dealing with the sales in
(17:10):
my DMs and then I startedwaking up to people just booking
my intensive.
I'm like, oh, that makes it somuch easier for me to receive
money and new clients, so mucheasier.
So where are some small tweaksthat you could make that would
just make it easier for you toreceive money in the ways that
you want to?
I hope you love these.
I would love to hear yourtakeaways like actually sit your
ass down and do these, make itfun, make a day out of it, pour
(17:33):
