Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to the Live Life Unapologetically
podcast.
I'm Shannon, and today we'regoing to have a conversation
that I think way too many womenin business need to hear,
especially those of us who areputting everything on the line
to make it work.
We're diving into the realmeaning of manifesting secure
feminine wealth, not just intheory, but in a way that hits
home and calls you intosomething deeper.

(00:20):
Most of us aren't taught to seewealth as something that we're
safe to receive.
We're taught that we have toearn it, to justify it, to work
for it, and, especially inbusiness, that conditioning can
run deep.
So today I want to untanglethat pressure, expose the subtle
ways that we block what we'reasking for, and invite you into
a version of manifesting thatdoesn't require your business to

(00:43):
be your savior.
So grab your favorite drink,cozy up and let's get started.
Let's dive right into why yourbusiness isn't your savior,
because your business was nevermeant to carry the weight of
your entire life.
However, that's what a lot ofus end up doing.
We start a business to gainfreedom, but very quickly that
business becomes another form ofpressure.

(01:04):
It becomes the thing that hasto succeed, the thing that has
to make us money the thing thathas to prove we're not just
dreaming big, we're doingsomething real with our lives.
And that's a dangerousenergetic setup.
When your business becomes youronly path to wealth, it also
becomes the place you pin allyour fear, scarcity and survival

(01:24):
mode.
Now, suddenly, you're not justbuilding something powerful,
it's about proving something,fixing something, saving
yourself, and that puts you in aplace of energetic desperation,
not abundance.
The shift really is that yourbusiness is a vehicle.
You are the source, you are theone manifesting, you are the

(01:46):
one holding the vision.
You are the one with thecapacity to receive from
anywhere Clients, yes, but alsopartnerships, surprise money,
divine timing, referrals,unexpected opportunities and
even gifts or rest that cancreate space for more wealth to
come in.
Your business gets to supportthat, but it's not the end-all,

(02:07):
to be-all of your wealth.
It's one channel.
You are the source, but let'stalk about how this is a
difficult idea for us tocomprehend because of how
society teaches us about moneyand why what we're taught is
truly a problem.
Because I got curious preppingfor this episode, so I started

(02:29):
to search variations of thequestion what are the most
common ways to get money?
Where does money come from?
I wanted to see what answerswere out there and, honestly, I
was not shocked, but I wasdeeply annoyed.
Every single result had someversion of the same output Start
a side hustle, get a better job, invest in real estate, launch

(02:51):
a product, sell something, tradetime for dollars.
All of it was about producing,about doing something to earn
the right to receive.
And please do not get me wrong,I'm not against a strategy of
working.
I'm not anti-business.
Obviously I have one.
I live in the real world and Iteach women how to organize

(03:14):
their strategies all the time.
But what I am against is thisidea that money can only come
from a grind.
That belief that money equalslabor is one of the core ways
that women stay energeticallyblocked.
And when I say women, I meanespecially women in business,
because if you believe yourwealth can only come through

(03:37):
effort, you will alwaysover-effort, you will work too
hard, you will stay in survivalmode, you will measure your
worth by your output, you willbelieve that rest is lazy and
you will miss the deeper powerof receivership.
There are energetics toreceivership and we can block
that at times without realizingit.

(03:59):
Receivership isn't just aboutsaying yes, I'm open to money.
It's about being anchored inyour body, in your nervous
system, in your belief thatmoney can come to you without
panic attached to it.
But most of us women were nevertaught how to feel safe
receiving.
We were taught to prove, toovergive, to discount, to keep

(04:23):
serving even when we're depleted.
So we might be visualizingchecks or saying affirmations,
but inside we're still bracingfor rejection, we're bracing for
disappointment, we're bracingfor someone to say you don't
deserve that.
And your nervous system picksup on that energy long before
your subconscious mind does.
If receiving doesn't feel safe,you're going to constantly

(04:46):
repel what you say you want.
You'll push it away, avoid itor self-sabotage the moment as
it shows up.
This is why I say regulation isnot just self-care, it's a
manifestation strategy.
Manifestation is not abouttrying harder, even though we
were taught that we should tryharder at everything, but we

(05:07):
don't have to.
Manifestation is about becomingthe kind of woman who can hold
what she is asking for withoutshrinking, without apologizing,
without guilt.
As many of you know, I lovewatching TV series, things that
I can binge, long series, andfor some reason I was like I'm
going to go watch DesperateHousewives again as I was coming

(05:30):
into an episode last night,before I started winding down to
go to sleep, it was the episodewhere Bree she's married to
Orson.
Bree's been through lots ofdifferent things and she has a
successful business now.
Her husband, orson, was out ofjail.
He can't be a dentist anymorebecause, you know, he went to
jail for something he did.
Life isn't going great forOrson and Bree's life's going

(05:54):
great and Orson feels like he'sjust shrinking.
He doesn't feel like he's equalto her or he's providing for
her.
She's just basically too bigfor him.
I see this look on her face ofwow, I need to shrink.
You have this woman who was ahousewife her whole life, taking

(06:14):
care of her kids.
I mean, say what you want abouther character, but she
basically gave up her life.
One of her husbands died, herother kids grew up and she
starts this business and reallypulls herself up.
She's wildly successful.
And now her husband, who's backfrom prison, feels small.
His wife is too big.
And before I turn the TV off, Ididn't finish the episode, so I

(06:37):
don't know what happens next.
But she calls someone and sayslook, I know you've been wanting
to buy my wildly successfulbusiness and I know I've said no
, but now I'm open to that.
Let's talk about me selling mybusiness to you and her
husband's, sitting right therewith a smile on his face.
And it made me sick that apowerful woman who had so much

(07:00):
going for her would shrink tomake her husband feel better
because he couldn't find his ownspace, that for him to feel
like a husband, for him to feellike a man, for him to feel good
about himself, he needed her toshrink herself.
And I know that this ismake-believe, I know that this

(07:23):
is just a TV series, buthonestly, it parallels life so
much that women especially willshrink themselves, they will
apologize and they will feelguilty for taking up too much
space, for being big, forshining their light.
And that's what we do when weare building our businesses,

(07:45):
this receivership.
You get too big and we shrinkdown.
We don't hold what we ask forbecause of others, so we shrink
it or apologize or we feelguilty, because that's what
society has taught us to do.
And that's why I love speakingwith and working with and

(08:06):
helping women business owners,because this is truly a shift we
have to make in society that wecan be wildly successful.
You being wildly successful doesnot take away from anyone else,
you being wildly successful.
If it makes other people feelsmall, that's a them problem, it

(08:29):
is not a you problem.
But as women, we feel thatdeeply in our souls and so we
stay small.
And today is a day to be bigand to be open and to receive
unapologetically when it comesto this feeling of our business
being our savior.
We want it to be our savior, wewant it to take us to new

(08:52):
heights, but there's theseblocks that keep us.
Not only do we look at ourbusinesses to be our saviors and
this is really where the blockscome in with energetic
receivership, I want my businessto save me it's the end, all to
be all to give me this life Iwant, but then I'm going to
block it or I'm going to shrinkback because now I am too big.

(09:18):
Really, what this episode provedto me is that women can be
wildly successful, but then weshrink back and then we go
forward and then we shrink back,and it's really a pattern and
it's societal that my successcan only come from my work.
But also my work can't makeother people feel bad about
themselves, and so it's likethis internal struggle.

(09:39):
I just really want to reiteratethat how someone feels about
themselves is how they feelabout themselves.
All of us myself, you, peoplearound us.
How we feel about us comes frominside.
Nobody can make you feel greatall the time.
You have to be the one thattakes responsibility and says

(10:00):
I'm going to feel great about mebecause I feel great about me,
I can coach somebody.
You can have a coach, a mentor,a spouse, a friend, whoever it
is.
It's not someone else'sresponsibility to make us feel
good.
It is our own responsibility tolove ourselves enough to feel
good.
So when you start to grow and alot of times as women, when we

(10:23):
grow and we get big oh my God,women aren't supposed to be that
big and when we shrink back,but we also carry this idea that
my business is the end, all tobe all, and we put all this
pressure on ourselves and weblock in that way too.
Society does affect how we move,but we have to go deep inside
ourselves and say I'm going tochange the narrative, I am going

(10:46):
to do something different.
I am not going to subscribe tothat.
I've been there.
I've been the woman who neededher business to work right now,
because I desperately wanted toescape a job and a career field
that I once loved so much, butit was crushing me and it was
killing my soul daily.
I put pressures on myself tolaunch things before they were

(11:07):
ready, and when I say beforethey were ready, that was before
I was like internally ready,because I was really doing it
for it to save me.
So that was desperation.
I convinced myself that if Ididn't hit a goal, it meant that
I wasn't meant for business.
I wasn't good for businessbecause you know it has to be
perfect right out of the gate,and none of that brought me
closer to abundance.

(11:29):
What changed was the moment whenI realized I was trying to
force my business to be the onlysource of wealth in my life.
I wanted it to save me from acareer that I didn't love
anymore, instead of being anoutlet for, yes, money, but also
for purpose and service in mylife.
I had to shift from desperationto overflow, from I need this

(11:51):
to work to I trust myself toreceive, no matter what channel
it comes through.
And when I made that shift,opportunities started showing up
that I didn't even plan for.
Money came from places I wasn'teven tracking and I started to
trust again.
And that's when the floodgatesopened, you see, when you need
your business to be the end-all,be-all.

(12:14):
That is once again where you gointo scarcity, because you're so
scared it won't work that youbring that energy with you.
Or even if you're like, nope,this is going to work, this has
to work, you bring that, thishas to.
That's scarcity.
That's saying this is the onlything that's going to make my

(12:34):
life what I want my life to belike.
And so we don't think of thatas scarcity, because we believe
oh, scarcity means I don'tbelieve there's enough, I
absolutely believe there'senough.
The scarcity in this case isI'm scared that this is the only
place money can come from.
Money can't come from anywhereelse.
So this has to work.

(12:55):
For me, scarcity is saying thatmoney can only come from this
place.
It's not available anywhereelse but my business but through
work, but through output.
And I want to break that down,because that's the part that
really redefines whatmanifesting means.

(13:16):
If you hustle well, that'sbuilt through performance.
You're going to work long hours, you're going to push yourself
past your limits to earn everyinch.
It's grind and grit, with theoccasional crumbs of rest and,
yes, you can make money that way, but the cost is usually high.
Now, feminine wealth is builtthrough alignment and we're not

(13:38):
taught this because we don'tlive in a society that values
feminine wealth.
But feminine wealth is rootedin intuition.
It's rooted in openness, timing, boundaries and embodiment.
It honors both energy andstructure.
It honors flow andsustainability.
It doesn't mean you never work.

(14:00):
It means your work is supportedby belief, capacity and trust.
And that's the real meaning ofmanifesting.
It's not about waiting formagic.
It's about choosing to believein your own creative power and
then building a life thatsupports that belief.
And I want to say it again, Iwant to say it for the woman in

(14:22):
the back, I want to say it rightto you right now You're the
source.
Your business is not yoursavior, you are.
Your wealth is not dependent onhow hard you push.
It's dependent on how deeplyyou trust, how regulated you are
and how available you are toreceive.

(14:42):
And when you start treating yourbusiness as one avenue of
abundance not the only one, it'sjust an avenue of abundance
you'll stop chasing and you'llstart choosing.
You'll stop forcing and you'llstart flowing.
You'll start manifesting, notfrom desperation but from
overflow.
And if any of this hits you inthe gut.

(15:04):
It is not a coincidence Forthose of you who are new here.
That is what Manifest she isall about.
That is why this podcast, liveLife, unapologetically exists.
It's to support you.

not desperation, but it's truemomentum grab the Manifest
Momentum Ritual.

(15:47):
forward in abundance.
Everything I teach is built onone truth and that's that you
have the power, you are thepower, you are the source, and
you don't need to hustle toprove it.
I love you, I believe in youand I will chat with you next
