(00:24):

allowing them to strategically achieve their goals and live their
(00:45):
best lives. Welcome Scarlet, Thank you so much for having me.
I'm really excited for our conversation today. I'm excited too,
because coaches offer so much, because there are so many
different ways to engage coaches, and coaches have so many,
so much diverse knowledge bringing in. I love the stories
that there are, but let's start with your story. Tell
(01:05):
me about this workaholic career path that you had.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
My whole background growing up was very much a type
a high achiever perfectionist. I was the student getting straight a's,
working really hard in school. Even as a child, I
was so rooted in this idea of perfectionism and success
that I was an eight year old with migrain headaches
because of just the weight and pressure of like being perfect,
(01:29):
doing it right, checking all the boxes and so as
a young adult, I started working from a young age
and primarily working in the restaurant industry. I started managing
restaurants by the time I was eighteen and was really
like this professional person who would confuse people with my age.
People would look at me and be like, are you
(01:50):
thirteen or are you thirty? I can't tell because I
would wear four inch heels, lasers, fallse eyelashes, full face
of makeup, and really put on this whole person of like, Okay,
I'm the manager of this restaurant, and I'm making good money,
i have this job title. I'm going to school to
get my bachelor's in business management, accounting and finance. And
(02:11):
even though I'm like checking all these boxes of success
and quote doing everything right, and I have a lot
of things that look great on paper, I was also
very unfulfilled and was kind of going down this dark
spiral of feeling depressed, feeling like my life was meaningless,
feeling like I was a zombie living in my own life,
and feeling like my life wasn't really in my control
(02:34):
and I was just waiting for life to start.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So did you stay in the restaurant industry, get your
bachelor's degree and work in some financial field or did
you kind of reroute earlier than that.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
So I was in the restaurant industry all through my
bachelor's and then I was also working for a company
called Richer Than You Think, which it helps individuals manage
their money and it's more personal finance oriented. So that's
really where I learned about person finance. But then pretty
much right away after getting my bachelor's degree, I decided
(03:05):
I didn't want to have a traditional nine to five job.
I didn't want to be a CPA, and I kind
of went full one eighty and I stepped away from
what I call business mode and went full hippie mode.
And that's when I started my coaching practice. And that's
really when I started to say yes to a bunch
of different opportunities that really lit me up, and it
(03:27):
was really for the first time that I started to
live the kind of life that I wanted to live.
So I became a yoga instructor and became a reiki
practitioner and started traveling the world and attending retreats. So
I really dove all into this other side of like
the career path, which was entrepreneurship and just really choosing
things that felt fulfilling to me.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Okay, what about the family background that you came from,
because we all learned lessons from our families, whether whether
they're conscious or subconscious, whether they're positive or negative. I'm
assuming if you got into restaurants early, there was some
family business or family models for you to follow.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, so I definitely picked some stuff up when I
was growing up. And primarily, I would say so growing up,
I was raised by a single mom who was pretty
young and had me and my sibling at a young age.
So she was working very hard to take care of us,
and we were like low income bracket, so there was
definitely this underlying idea of you're not going to starve.
(04:29):
We always had enough, but just enough. There wasn't room
for extra. I couldn't get the things that I wanted
that I saw in the store, and then like other
friends childhood friends would be like, oh, I have these
brand name sneakers or brand name clothes, but you know,
we couldn't afford those things, like that was a waste
of money. So I learned more saving techniques as a child.
(04:53):
My mom was very good about teaching me the difference
between buying something that seems cheaper versus buying the thing
that's more valuable, and doing the math to determine, like
how you should spend your money. She also helped us
to open our first savings accounts. So I opened mind
when I was seven years old, and that's when I
first started saving money. And then I think this also
(05:15):
just being a younger sibling as well, my success my
getting good grades was how I would try to get
attention as well. So that really motivated the way that
I showed up in the world. Was Okay, like I
gotta be a goodie goodie, I gotta be on everybody's
good side. I have to make sure I get straight
a's otherwise I'm a failure. Otherwise I won't get love.
(05:36):
So that really was the childhood that led to on
the surface seeming really good with money, but at the
same time having some of these like frugal scare spaced tendencies,
the like oh I need to show up a certain
way in order to be worthy and deserving. That really
impacted especially in my early adulthood.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
You know, so many times you hear of kids that
to get attention get into trouble. So I like this
idea of I want attention, so I'm going to get
good grades. Yeah, I wish we could encourage more kids
to go that way. So wow, that's that's a lot
to unpack. So how did you end up in restaurants?
(06:18):
Was that where your mom had worked.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
It wasn't connected to my family at all. I in
high school, like my favorite channel was Food Network, and
I just like loved culinary And I also went to
a high school where it was like a hybrid high
school and trade school, so half of my classes were
actually in the culinary program. And that was actually my
first career path was I almost went to culinary school.
(06:43):
In fact, even as a senior, I had applied to
go to college at the Culinary Institute of America, which
is one of the most prestigious culinary schools in the country,
and was accepted and totally had the plan to go
to culinary school. But then within the last two months
of graduation, two to three months, I decided that I
didn't want to go to culinary school and instead totally
(07:06):
changed directions and went to school for business instead. And
that was really motivated by this idea of well, like,
culinary isn't enough, it's not successful enough, I should do
something more with my skill sets. I have these other
skill sets and it would be a waste to spend
it on culinary. And even like my culinary instructors were saying,
(07:28):
don't go to culinary school. It's a waste of money,
Like you'd be better off just getting restaurant experience if
that's really what you want to do. So there was
also this underlying notion of like, there's not money in
the restaurant industry, and so I redirected and chose business
so that again I could choose the more successful and
like financially motivated path.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Wow, I don't know where you go from that. I've
got this path, and the people who have put me
on this path say, yeah, you don't want to go there.
That's a lot to have to unpack it, you know,
what were you seventeen eighteen years old at that time. Yeah,
that's that's a big shift. Do you continue to experience
the culinary when you travel?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, I mean food is still definitely a big part
of my life, even though I did not pursue the
culinary industry even when I started my business. So I
left the restaurant industry. And then when I started my
coaching business. For the first year, you know, it was
just full time in my business and was kind of
floundering around and just trying to figure it out. And
(08:30):
I took my whole savings and really poured it into
the business. And then about a year after running the
business and not making any money, I realized, Okay, it's
about time then I get some more income coming in.
And I was really resistant to that at first. My
mom was like, would you just get a job, And
I was like, no, you don't believe in me, you
don't believe in my dreams. Like I need to go
(08:51):
all in on this. I need to fully believe in myself.
I can't get a job because that means that I
don't believe in myself and that I'm a failure. But
then I realized, Okay, I really do need income. And
so I did end up going back to the restaurant
industry and started waiting tables at a local restaurant near me.
But I really had to do a lot of mindset
(09:12):
work and say, oh, this isn't me like failing and
going back to the restaurant industry. I'm choosing to do
this in support of my business. Like, because I am
choosing to do this work, now I can keep running
my business. This is me committing even more to my
business and my belief and myself. And also as I
made my choice to wait tables and work at a restaurant,
(09:35):
I was really intentional and conscious about where I was
going to work. So luckily there's the amazing local restaurant
near me that's close by, has good hours, it's breakfast
and lunch, it's woman owned, it's farm to table, they
get all their ingredients locally. So it was so in
alignment with everything that I believe in and everything that
(09:56):
I care about now where I was like, Okay, if
I am to do this, and this is the best
choice for me. So I did go back into the
restaurant industry and I continue to work there for three
years while running my business.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I think that's really important because when you have a dream,
it's okay to do the things in support of that
dream that you need to do. Just living in your
mom's basement and working at your business is great, but
if you need to build, you need to just put
money in your pocket and see that success need money,
attracting more money and seeing the way businesses run and
(10:34):
all that kudos because a lot of people when they
are trying to build a business will pour everything into
that business. That business is one hundred and ten percent
of their time, and then it goes under and they've
got nothing there and they ran out of steam and
whatever else. So that's just such a such a good
business decision to say, Okay, I've got to split my
time so that I can support this business, so that
(10:55):
I can give it the time it needs to grow.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah. Absolutely, And we have the same conversation very often
with my clients, since I primarily work with like entrepreneurs
and coaches and people who want to leave a traditional
nine to five job and really don't want to work
for anyone else, And it feels like a really big
sacrifice to get other income flowing from another source. And
again it's this idea of it's detracting from the business,
(11:21):
or I should be making enough money to fully support
myself in my business, why isn't it working. But I
have found that having that other income coming in is
really valuable, whether you're an entrepreneur or not, because you're
satisfying the need for financial safety and security. And when
you have those basic needs met, it's a lot easier
(11:41):
for you to grow the business or enjoy your life
because you're not bringing your desperation and your money stress
and your fear onto your sales calls and in your
conversations with people that you talk to. So it actually
really influences success in your life and especially in your business,
and you have your financial foundations met, even if they're
(12:03):
coming from a slightly less than perfect source.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You know, Look, we all want perfection. Perfection is an
awesome goal. A few of us reach perfection. But you
can reach greatness, you can reach happiness, you can reach contentment,
you can reach all these other things by finding that
balance between pursuing I'm going to say a goal because
dreams are something boy I wish that would happen, and
(12:28):
goals are when you make a plan and you do
the work and you do whatever it takes, you know,
working in a restaurant, getting a part time job wherever,
in support of that greater goal for yourself.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So people have a lot of fear around money. They
they're afraid that they're not going to make it, which
is why they might give up their dream, or they
fear if they sidetrack from their dream, they're not going
to reach their goals. How do you help them to
work or around those fears?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, And this is so prevalent too in this day
and age. Most people are experiencing some type of fear
around money. Even no matter how much money you have,
your relationship with money, your fear around money can still
be there because whether you're a living paycheck to paycheck
and you're barely scraping by and you're constantly in money stress,
(13:23):
or if you are making more money, there can still
be this underlying fear of oh, it's going to go away.
And so the first thing that I like to show
people is that it's not about the amount of money,
because I think that's a trap that people will get
caught in, is think, Okay, if I just work harder
and work more and put in more hours and make
(13:44):
more money, then this stress that I have around money
will go away. But that's really not the case. I've
seen it with clients who are making decent income in
their consistent nine to five jobs and feel like it's
still not enough. They are barely scraping by. And so
what I teach my clients to do is really bring
(14:05):
awareness to your relationship with money. These are and similar
to what we talked about earlier, your foundational beliefs around
money that you learned growing up. And there's a variety
of these beliefs, but it could be like money is evil,
money doesn't grow on trees. You have to suffer in
some way in order to be deserving of having money
(14:28):
in order to be worthy of having money, or money
is bad, so I need to push it away.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We have just all of these subconscious beliefs around money,
and they impact your ability to attract money into your
life and also what you do with that money, if
you're able to hold onto it, how intentionally or consciously
you use it, or maybe you throw it away from
you because you're trying to get rid of it subconsciously.
And all of these actions that we take with our
(14:56):
money is based on these subconscious beliefs, but we just
take them that face value. We just assume that it's
true and this is the way that the world is.
And so the first step is really recognizing that you
have a relationship with money based on these beliefs and
that they are not inherently accurate.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Would you say that your clients who are entrepreneurs, I
assume near the beginning of their entrepreneurial journey, if they're
getting coached, though I guess you can get coached at
any point in time. Would you say that financial literacy
is they come in with it, they come in without it,
they come in knowing they need it. Where would that
fit into the program?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah? I do get a range of people. Most commonly,
I attract and find people who have no financial literacy.
They were not taught how to manage track or be
in control of their money growing up, and in fact,
there's a lot of fear and resistance to doing this,
(15:56):
and it feels overwhelming, it feels stressful. The same time,
they know they have this underlying constant money stress and
these scarce based beliefs and the scarce mindset that is
holding them back from really living their best lives. From
really being in control of their money. They feel like
their money is in control of them and that money
(16:19):
is dictating their lives. And so eventually they get to
a point where they recognize something needs to change, like
I need to do something differently. I have worked with
clients who are a little bit further along in terms
of their financial literacy, whereas they have a method for
managing and tracking their money, but they haven't done all
(16:40):
the internal work of uncovering what I call their scarcity seeds,
their scarcity stories, and their scarcity selves. And so when
we work together to do that, it really brings a
lot to the surface. And then also I teach them
how to upgrade their money management system so they can
get a higher level view. Even the clients that I
(17:01):
work with who have some level of they feel financially solid,
but they want to leave the nine to five job
or take a leap of faith, and they're wondering how
they can make that happen. And then they discover like
I've really just scratched the surface on what's possible in
terms of financial literacy.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, So my work is financial literacy. It's teaching people
the basics about money, getting them comfortable starting to talk
about money, and I find it fascinating limitation we have
on that education schools. They're starting to require it here
in Michigan. Various schools around the country, various states around
the country have different requirements for financial literacy. Teaching a
(17:40):
half year class in high school about financial literacy is nice,
but it's not necessarily going to be something you take
with you for your whole life, depending on how it's taught,
where you are mentally and emotionally, maturity wise at that
point in time. So it's a matter of getting people
to continue that journey to wreck itize that learning about
(18:01):
money has to be a lifelong thing, that talking about
money has to be a lifelong thing. Certainly as you
as you get older, as you partner up, as you
have kids, as things in your life change, what you
need to know about money to be successful is different
at different points in time. One of the things is
how people can be too frugal. It can be so
focused on I have to earn money, I have to
(18:24):
save money, I have to whatever that They don't take
care of the things around them, like their health, like
their safety, like the security of their house, or the
maintenance items that need to be done to make their
car secure. How do you deal with that? Does that
come up in your practice?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah? And I love that you bring this up too,
because I think there's this inherent assumption that any form
of spending money is bad and I shouldn't be doing it, like,
oh darn, I'm spending. I shouldn't I should be saving.
And I think that this is inaccurate. It's not true. Like,
we live in a society where it's a constant flow
(19:01):
of money. There's money in and there's money out, and
you can use that money to prioritize what is most important.
And yes, portions of that is prioritizing the future, prioritizing
crushing your debt if you have debt, saving for what's important,
saving for retirement, but also like living your life is
(19:21):
a priority right now, and it's important to prioritize the
things that are most important to you. And so when
I have conversations with my clients, there's often this conversation
of sacrifice, like, oh, I feel like, now that I
see my numbers, clearly I have to sacrifice in order
to achieve these different financial goals. And I love to
(19:43):
reframe that perspective and say, what if it wasn't sacrificing
and focusing on what you can't do with your money.
What if instead it's choosing what you want and prioritizing
that with your money. And so for some clients that
could be, Well, the most important thing is for me
to eat really healthy and make sure I'm buying good
groceries and cooking for myself. So I'm going to make
(20:05):
sure I build that grocery line into my financial blueprint.
But that also means cutting out these less important things
that aren't as important to me as eating healthy. And
so I think it's a balance of recognizing what are
the priorities and being willing to spend that money in
alignment with really what is most important to you.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So in my practice throughout the years, I have people
that make more money and always spend more than they
make no matter what. As their income grows, their spending grows,
and of course they're debt grows. And I have people
who have much smaller income and you can watch their
investments and the retirement grow because they're aware as they
(20:48):
get these increases in income that it's not a guarantee
of whatever might be in their future. And so they
keep their spending more intentional, more low key, more however
you want to phrase it, do you work with your
clients on that aspect of it, or do you encourage
them to work with other financial professionals or work with
(21:08):
other methods to rein in spending or yours is more
about the building and the coaching of the growth of
the business. That's not part of it.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, So as part of the work that I do,
it's very similar to what you're describing, because even though
I do work with coaches and help them with their
business and like pricing their offers and managing their business finances,
I also teach them about their personal finances because that
ties into the business big time, and so really giving
them the foundations of being able to see their money clearly,
(21:41):
building a financial blueprint so that they can have awareness
around what is currently happening with their money, developing a
routine with their money so that they're sitting down weekly
to look at and see what's happening, where's my money going,
and building a plan with that money to say, Okay,
this is really the blueprint that works for me. Here's
(22:02):
the goal I'm working towards, Here's what I'm prioritizing here's
where I need to cut back, Here's where I need
to put my foot on the gas to work towards
this goal. And so I teach them how to do
these skills for themselves and to maintain this practice for themselves.
Although because money is sticky, it's easy to kind of
fall off the wagon and stop your money management practices
(22:24):
and get a little freaked out and get a little
stressed out, usually when something happens, like an unexpected car
payment comes up. And so I continue to support my
clients being the ones in control of their money and
making the decisions in alignment for them based on seeing
the numbers clearly and being aware of their financial blueprint.
But I also get to continue to support them on
(22:46):
that journey. So when they have those questions, when unexpected
things happen, or when they're feeling freaked out and they
don't know what to do and they're feeling overwhelmed, they
have that consistent guidance to help them move forward.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
That's impressive to be able to talk with them on
all those different levels and be able to hopefully have
them hear you when you talk to them on those
different levels. I assume You've had some clients that are
newer clients and other clients that you've been working with
for a number of years, and as we all evolve
over time, are you seeing those changes in them with
(23:19):
kind of a shift as they redefine themselves in their
personal goals or their business goals, business practices and the
way they evolve with that, how do you help them
negotiate because sometimes those changes are really easy and smooth
and natural, and sometimes all of a sudden you bump
up against something and you realize, Okay, I've got to
do a major shift here.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, that's such a great question. Well, I will say
that one is I tend to work with people who
are really ready to do this work. And I think
that's important is that I kind of have a filter system.
I'm not just working with the people who think, like, Okay,
I think this would really benefit me, but I'm really
afraid to do it and I don't really want to
(24:01):
invest in receiving support. And you know, people who are
not fully fully ready to do this work because I
know money can be really challenging and really uncomfortable. So
I love working with people who, even though it's really uncomfortable,
even though it's really scary, even though it's really challenging,
even though it's been impacting them for their whole entire
lives and it feels impossible to get out of it.
(24:22):
They're committed and they're all in and they're ready. So
I work with my clients for a six month period
of time to start. They can continue working with me
after that, but the first package length is six months,
so it's a six month deep dive, and in that
period of time, really big shifts and really big transformations
tend to happen, even though it can be like small
(24:44):
incremental changes that happen over time. But by the time
we get through the six month container, these people have
a totally different relationship with money because we've done a
lot of the internal work. We work on the mindset.
We go into your childhood's stories and rewrite those stories
and those beliefs not just around money, but also around
(25:04):
yourself and your self worth, and then we make it tangible.
You learn how to manage and track your money, and
then you build a vision and you use your money
to make that vision a reality. And then again we
tap into the mindset and the identity of your most
abundant self. So just going through the steps, going through
the process. If you're committed and you put the time
(25:25):
into it, even if it's uncomfortable, even if it's not
always easy, Like simply being committed to doing this work
guarantees a transformation.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
How do they find you initially? I mean, I know
you've got your website and you do some podcasting and
of course guesting on podcasting and all of those things.
But you said that you connect with them when they're ready.
What are those clues that, my gosh, the universe has
aligned us and put us together here.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I find most of my clients through podcast guesting, networking,
like in person networking. I've done a lot of traveling
and events and retreats, so people that I meet, and
then I nurture people for a long term through my
email list through Instagram. I have my own podcasts show
now too, which is relatively new. For example, I have
(26:13):
clients that I met three years ago in Hawaii who
just started working with me recently. So it's really a
long term nurture. And I have found because my offer
is more of a high ticket offer. It's a higher
ticket coaching program where the price point of the program
is the filter system for my best clients. If you
(26:34):
have so much money stress and money fear that you're
unable to overcome the financial investment of it, then you're
not ready to do it at this high level. And
granted I do give a lot of flexibility for people
who are really committed, but just like, can't financially make
it work. And I have been flexible with people, but
I've seen time and time again that it's less about
(26:56):
the money and it's more about your willingness and readiness
to do this work. Because early on in my business,
I would discount my program and be like, Okay, you
said you're a no because of the price, Now let
me discount it, and they would still say no, And
I was like, Oh, it's not because of the money
in this scenario, it's about your readiness and the fear
of it not working, the fear of not being ready
(27:18):
to look at your money and face it. And so
the people who are really ready are the ones who
are ready to invest. And honestly, I say to my
clients that the most powerful transformation that they get from
doing this work is actually the initial investment, because in
order to invest in themselves in this work, in this
(27:40):
way to commit to a six month coaching program, they
have to believe that their next level of abundance is possible.
They are committed to that next level of abundance so
much so that they've put their money on it. They
are betting on themselves in a really big way, and
that investment alone has already shifted them into their most
(28:01):
abundant self. And then the six months of working together
is just like integrating that and proving to them that
that is now true.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I love that saying that they're betting on themselves. I
mean that's huge, because they're not betting on you. You're
a conduit, you're a tool. I don't mean you're a.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Tool, but I'll take it it's true.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
But I mean you're a vehicle that is on the
way to help them toward their success. And they are,
if you want to call it, buying or renting your
services for a period of time to do that. And
they have to make that commitment much as they would
in anything else they're doing, whether it's a one day
seminar or a six month period of training to get
(28:44):
from here to there. Because they're making that commitment, they're
investing in themselves. They're investing their time in you. But
it's all about making that investment, having that belief that
they are ready for that next step and that you
are going to be able to help them create that
focus on themselves and their goals and those strategies. I
(29:05):
think it's so tremendous what coaches are able to do
for people when the people are ready to be coached.
And you can say that in whether it's in a
business application or a learning application, or a sports application
or whatever you want to call it, you have to
be ready to take that next step. I love that
you are finding this opportunity to present yourself and be
(29:28):
available for these people to make that next step.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, it's really important because so many people are struggling
with money. That's why you know, people doing this work,
the work that you're doing, the work that I'm doing,
like it's very much needed. It's very much out of necessity,
and I think that's why it exists. That's why certainly
why I do the work that I do is because
I was presented with people struggling and I realized that
I could fill that need. And also even though I
(29:54):
primarily work with entrepreneurs and the goal is for them to,
you know, feel more abundant, go all in on their business.
When you transform your relationship with money, it impacts every
single area of your life. It bleeds into everything because
your money impacts your health, your relationships, your ability to
feel safe and stable, to do things that you enjoy,
to say yes to the life you want to live.
(30:17):
So when you heal your relationship with money, you're really
healing yourself on a deep level, and you're also making
your best life possible. So the work that I do
is like really powerful, deep transformative coaching, but it's just
through the lens and the avenue of money.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Well, that's why my show is Money in Life, because
they do go together. And one of the powerful things
that I think I talk about is how, even if
you don't realize it, everything costs money. There is no
free lunch. Someone is paying for it. And if you
can find out who's paying for it, who's making what investments,
then you can really help establish the value of the
(30:54):
other things that are going on around you because you
know where things are coming from. What are things we
have we haven't talked about that you would love to address.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I think it's really important to tone in more on
what you just said, which is money is flowing always
and impacting your life and impacting this world that we
live in. And so I think there's a lot of
people who recognize that you have challenges around money, but
maybe have some hesitancy or resistant or fear to doing
(31:25):
this work. But also I've seen time and time again
that avoiding this work and avoiding looking at your money
is actually just creating more of the financial stress and
more of the fear, and more of the stress. And
really the sooner that you start, the better, because it's
going to change your whole entire life. And I think
(31:46):
that's just an important thing to note, especially if anyone's
having hesitancy on diving in. It's like, this is really
the foundation to living a fulfilling, solid life that you
actually enjoy without money can trolling you or stressing you
out or holding you back from living that life.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I definitely agree with all of that.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
It's possible to live a life that you really love
and enjoy, even if it doesn't feel that way, even
if it feels like circumstances are preventing that from being
the case. But being somebody who used to feel trapped
by money and success and circumstances and felt like I
couldn't live a life that I actually enjoyed. In fact,
I hadn't even considered what a life I wanted to live.
(32:30):
Even looked like I didn't even know that was an
option or something I could consider. Consider it, consider it,
and know that it's actually possible to make that happen.
And if you're curious to learn more about the way
that I do this work, I have lots of valuable
resources available to share with you, which you can check
out on my website, thebiz Hippie dot com.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I will be sharing links to your website in the

been so lovely time talking to you, Scarlett the Biz Hippie,
and I hope we catch up again another time. I

(33:12):
This is Money Marsie and you've been listening to Marsie
talks Money and Life. You got this see Yah
Powered by Riverside at them. Hello, Welcome to Marcy talks
money and life. I'm Money Marcy and I get to
meet and talk to the most interesting people. My guest
today is Scarlet Stanhope. She's also known as the biz Hippie.
Scarlet teaches coaches to conquer their finances and own their
worst so that they can be fully supported by the
(00:24):
work that they love. Scarlet harness the power of money
to break free from her workaholic career path and pursue
her dreams. She uses a combination of tangible money management
strategies as well as a variety of coaching techniques to
help her clients transform their mindset and relationship to money,
allowing them to strategically achieve their goals and live their
(00:45):
best lives. Welcome Scarlet, Thank you so much for having me.
I'm really excited for our conversation today. I'm excited too,
because coaches offer so much, because there are so many
different ways to engage coaches, and coaches have so many,
so much diverse knowledge bringing in. I love the stories
that there are, but let's start with your story. Tell
(01:05):
me about this workaholic career path that you had.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
My whole background growing up was very much a type
a high achiever perfectionist. I was the student getting straight a's,
working really hard in school. Even as a child, I
was so rooted in this idea of perfectionism and success
that I was an eight year old with migrain headaches
because of just the weight and pressure of like being perfect,
(01:29):
doing it right, checking all the boxes and so as
a young adult, I started working from a young age
and primarily working in the restaurant industry. I started managing
restaurants by the time I was eighteen and was really
like this professional person who would confuse people with my age.
People would look at me and be like, are you
(01:50):
thirteen or are you thirty? I can't tell because I
would wear four inch heels, lasers, fallse eyelashes, full face
of makeup, and really put on this whole person of like, Okay,
I'm the manager of this restaurant, and I'm making good money,
i have this job title. I'm going to school to
get my bachelor's in business management, accounting and finance. And
(02:11):
even though I'm like checking all these boxes of success
and quote doing everything right, and I have a lot
of things that look great on paper, I was also
very unfulfilled and was kind of going down this dark
spiral of feeling depressed, feeling like my life was meaningless,
feeling like I was a zombie living in my own life,
and feeling like my life wasn't really in my control
(02:34):
and I was just waiting for life to start.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So did you stay in the restaurant industry, get your
bachelor's degree and work in some financial field or did
you kind of reroute earlier than that.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
So I was in the restaurant industry all through my
bachelor's and then I was also working for a company
called Richer Than You Think, which it helps individuals manage
their money and it's more personal finance oriented. So that's
really where I learned about person finance. But then pretty
much right away after getting my bachelor's degree, I decided
(03:05):
I didn't want to have a traditional nine to five job.
I didn't want to be a CPA, and I kind
of went full one eighty and I stepped away from
what I call business mode and went full hippie mode.
And that's when I started my coaching practice. And that's
really when I started to say yes to a bunch
of different opportunities that really lit me up, and it
(03:27):
was really for the first time that I started to
live the kind of life that I wanted to live.
So I became a yoga instructor and became a reiki
practitioner and started traveling the world and attending retreats. So
I really dove all into this other side of like
the career path, which was entrepreneurship and just really choosing
things that felt fulfilling to me.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Okay, what about the family background that you came from,
because we all learned lessons from our families, whether whether
they're conscious or subconscious, whether they're positive or negative. I'm
assuming if you got into restaurants early, there was some
family business or family models for you to follow.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, so I definitely picked some stuff up when I
was growing up. And primarily, I would say so growing up,
I was raised by a single mom who was pretty
young and had me and my sibling at a young age.
So she was working very hard to take care of us,
and we were like low income bracket, so there was
definitely this underlying idea of you're not going to starve.
(04:29):
We always had enough, but just enough. There wasn't room
for extra. I couldn't get the things that I wanted
that I saw in the store, and then like other
friends childhood friends would be like, oh, I have these
brand name sneakers or brand name clothes, but you know,
we couldn't afford those things, like that was a waste
of money. So I learned more saving techniques as a child.
(04:53):
My mom was very good about teaching me the difference
between buying something that seems cheaper versus buying the thing
that's more valuable, and doing the math to determine, like
how you should spend your money. She also helped us
to open our first savings accounts. So I opened mind
when I was seven years old, and that's when I
first started saving money. And then I think this also
(05:15):
just being a younger sibling as well, my success my
getting good grades was how I would try to get
attention as well. So that really motivated the way that
I showed up in the world. Was Okay, like I
gotta be a goodie goodie, I gotta be on everybody's
good side. I have to make sure I get straight
a's otherwise I'm a failure. Otherwise I won't get love.
(05:36):
So that really was the childhood that led to on
the surface seeming really good with money, but at the
same time having some of these like frugal scare spaced tendencies,
the like oh I need to show up a certain
way in order to be worthy and deserving. That really
impacted especially in my early adulthood.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
You know, so many times you hear of kids that
to get attention get into trouble. So I like this
idea of I want attention, so I'm going to get
good grades. Yeah, I wish we could encourage more kids
to go that way. So wow, that's that's a lot
to unpack. So how did you end up in restaurants?
(06:18):
Was that where your mom had worked.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
It wasn't connected to my family at all. I in
high school, like my favorite channel was Food Network, and
I just like loved culinary And I also went to
a high school where it was like a hybrid high
school and trade school, so half of my classes were
actually in the culinary program. And that was actually my
first career path was I almost went to culinary school.
(06:43):
In fact, even as a senior, I had applied to
go to college at the Culinary Institute of America, which
is one of the most prestigious culinary schools in the country,
and was accepted and totally had the plan to go
to culinary school. But then within the last two months
of graduation, two to three months, I decided that I
didn't want to go to culinary school and instead totally
(07:06):
changed directions and went to school for business instead. And
that was really motivated by this idea of well, like,
culinary isn't enough, it's not successful enough, I should do
something more with my skill sets. I have these other
skill sets and it would be a waste to spend
it on culinary. And even like my culinary instructors were saying,
(07:28):
don't go to culinary school. It's a waste of money,
Like you'd be better off just getting restaurant experience if
that's really what you want to do. So there was
also this underlying notion of like, there's not money in
the restaurant industry, and so I redirected and chose business
so that again I could choose the more successful and
like financially motivated path.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Wow, I don't know where you go from that. I've
got this path, and the people who have put me
on this path say, yeah, you don't want to go there.
That's a lot to have to unpack it, you know,
what were you seventeen eighteen years old at that time. Yeah,
that's that's a big shift. Do you continue to experience
the culinary when you travel?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, I mean food is still definitely a big part
of my life, even though I did not pursue the
culinary industry even when I started my business. So I
left the restaurant industry. And then when I started my
coaching business. For the first year, you know, it was
just full time in my business and was kind of
floundering around and just trying to figure it out. And
(08:30):
I took my whole savings and really poured it into
the business. And then about a year after running the
business and not making any money, I realized, Okay, it's
about time then I get some more income coming in.
And I was really resistant to that at first. My
mom was like, would you just get a job, And
I was like, no, you don't believe in me, you
don't believe in my dreams. Like I need to go
(08:51):
all in on this. I need to fully believe in myself.
I can't get a job because that means that I
don't believe in myself and that I'm a failure. But
then I realized, Okay, I really do need income. And
so I did end up going back to the restaurant
industry and started waiting tables at a local restaurant near me.
But I really had to do a lot of mindset
(09:12):
work and say, oh, this isn't me like failing and
going back to the restaurant industry. I'm choosing to do
this in support of my business. Like, because I am
choosing to do this work, now I can keep running
my business. This is me committing even more to my
business and my belief and myself. And also as I
made my choice to wait tables and work at a restaurant,
(09:35):
I was really intentional and conscious about where I was
going to work. So luckily there's the amazing local restaurant
near me that's close by, has good hours, it's breakfast
and lunch, it's woman owned, it's farm to table, they
get all their ingredients locally. So it was so in
alignment with everything that I believe in and everything that
(09:56):
I care about now where I was like, Okay, if
I am to do this, and this is the best
choice for me. So I did go back into the
restaurant industry and I continue to work there for three
years while running my business.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I think that's really important because when you have a dream,
it's okay to do the things in support of that
dream that you need to do. Just living in your
mom's basement and working at your business is great, but
if you need to build, you need to just put
money in your pocket and see that success need money,
attracting more money and seeing the way businesses run and
(10:34):
all that kudos because a lot of people when they
are trying to build a business will pour everything into
that business. That business is one hundred and ten percent
of their time, and then it goes under and they've
got nothing there and they ran out of steam and
whatever else. So that's just such a such a good
business decision to say, Okay, I've got to split my
time so that I can support this business, so that
(10:55):
I can give it the time it needs to grow.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah. Absolutely, And we have the same conversation very often
with my clients, since I primarily work with like entrepreneurs
and coaches and people who want to leave a traditional
nine to five job and really don't want to work
for anyone else, And it feels like a really big
sacrifice to get other income flowing from another source. And
again it's this idea of it's detracting from the business,
(11:21):
or I should be making enough money to fully support
myself in my business, why isn't it working. But I
have found that having that other income coming in is
really valuable, whether you're an entrepreneur or not, because you're
satisfying the need for financial safety and security. And when
you have those basic needs met, it's a lot easier
(11:41):
for you to grow the business or enjoy your life
because you're not bringing your desperation and your money stress
and your fear onto your sales calls and in your
conversations with people that you talk to. So it actually
really influences success in your life and especially in your business,
and you have your financial foundations met, even if they're
(12:03):
coming from a slightly less than perfect source.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You know, Look, we all want perfection. Perfection is an
awesome goal. A few of us reach perfection. But you
can reach greatness, you can reach happiness, you can reach contentment,
you can reach all these other things by finding that
balance between pursuing I'm going to say a goal because
dreams are something boy I wish that would happen, and
(12:28):
goals are when you make a plan and you do
the work and you do whatever it takes, you know,
working in a restaurant, getting a part time job wherever,
in support of that greater goal for yourself.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So people have a lot of fear around money. They
they're afraid that they're not going to make it, which
is why they might give up their dream, or they
fear if they sidetrack from their dream, they're not going
to reach their goals. How do you help them to
work or around those fears?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, And this is so prevalent too in this day
and age. Most people are experiencing some type of fear
around money. Even no matter how much money you have,
your relationship with money, your fear around money can still
be there because whether you're a living paycheck to paycheck
and you're barely scraping by and you're constantly in money stress,
(13:23):
or if you are making more money, there can still
be this underlying fear of oh, it's going to go away.
And so the first thing that I like to show
people is that it's not about the amount of money,
because I think that's a trap that people will get
caught in, is think, Okay, if I just work harder
and work more and put in more hours and make
(13:44):
more money, then this stress that I have around money
will go away. But that's really not the case. I've
seen it with clients who are making decent income in
their consistent nine to five jobs and feel like it's
still not enough. They are barely scraping by. And so
what I teach my clients to do is really bring
(14:05):
awareness to your relationship with money. These are and similar
to what we talked about earlier, your foundational beliefs around
money that you learned growing up. And there's a variety
of these beliefs, but it could be like money is evil,
money doesn't grow on trees. You have to suffer in
some way in order to be deserving of having money
(14:28):
in order to be worthy of having money, or money
is bad, so I need to push it away.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We have just all of these subconscious beliefs around money,
and they impact your ability to attract money into your
life and also what you do with that money, if
you're able to hold onto it, how intentionally or consciously
you use it, or maybe you throw it away from
you because you're trying to get rid of it subconsciously.
And all of these actions that we take with our
(14:56):
money is based on these subconscious beliefs, but we just
take them that face value. We just assume that it's
true and this is the way that the world is.
And so the first step is really recognizing that you
have a relationship with money based on these beliefs and
that they are not inherently accurate.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Would you say that your clients who are entrepreneurs, I
assume near the beginning of their entrepreneurial journey, if they're
getting coached, though I guess you can get coached at
any point in time. Would you say that financial literacy
is they come in with it, they come in without it,
they come in knowing they need it. Where would that
fit into the program?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah? I do get a range of people. Most commonly,
I attract and find people who have no financial literacy.
They were not taught how to manage track or be
in control of their money growing up, and in fact,
there's a lot of fear and resistance to doing this,
(15:56):
and it feels overwhelming, it feels stressful. The same time,
they know they have this underlying constant money stress and
these scarce based beliefs and the scarce mindset that is
holding them back from really living their best lives. From
really being in control of their money. They feel like
their money is in control of them and that money
(16:19):
is dictating their lives. And so eventually they get to
a point where they recognize something needs to change, like
I need to do something differently. I have worked with
clients who are a little bit further along in terms
of their financial literacy, whereas they have a method for
managing and tracking their money, but they haven't done all
(16:40):
the internal work of uncovering what I call their scarcity seeds,
their scarcity stories, and their scarcity selves. And so when
we work together to do that, it really brings a
lot to the surface. And then also I teach them
how to upgrade their money management system so they can
get a higher level view. Even the clients that I
(17:01):
work with who have some level of they feel financially solid,
but they want to leave the nine to five job
or take a leap of faith, and they're wondering how
they can make that happen. And then they discover like
I've really just scratched the surface on what's possible in
terms of financial literacy.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, So my work is financial literacy. It's teaching people
the basics about money, getting them comfortable starting to talk
about money, and I find it fascinating limitation we have
on that education schools. They're starting to require it here
in Michigan. Various schools around the country, various states around
the country have different requirements for financial literacy. Teaching a
(17:40):
half year class in high school about financial literacy is nice,
but it's not necessarily going to be something you take
with you for your whole life, depending on how it's taught,
where you are mentally and emotionally, maturity wise at that
point in time. So it's a matter of getting people
to continue that journey to wreck itize that learning about
(18:01):
money has to be a lifelong thing, that talking about
money has to be a lifelong thing. Certainly as you
as you get older, as you partner up, as you
have kids, as things in your life change, what you
need to know about money to be successful is different
at different points in time. One of the things is
how people can be too frugal. It can be so
focused on I have to earn money, I have to
(18:24):
save money, I have to whatever that They don't take
care of the things around them, like their health, like
their safety, like the security of their house, or the
maintenance items that need to be done to make their
car secure. How do you deal with that? Does that
come up in your practice?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah? And I love that you bring this up too,
because I think there's this inherent assumption that any form
of spending money is bad and I shouldn't be doing it, like,
oh darn, I'm spending. I shouldn't I should be saving.
And I think that this is inaccurate. It's not true. Like,
we live in a society where it's a constant flow
(19:01):
of money. There's money in and there's money out, and
you can use that money to prioritize what is most important.
And yes, portions of that is prioritizing the future, prioritizing
crushing your debt if you have debt, saving for what's important,
saving for retirement, but also like living your life is
(19:21):
a priority right now, and it's important to prioritize the
things that are most important to you. And so when
I have conversations with my clients, there's often this conversation
of sacrifice, like, oh, I feel like, now that I
see my numbers, clearly I have to sacrifice in order
to achieve these different financial goals. And I love to
(19:43):
reframe that perspective and say, what if it wasn't sacrificing
and focusing on what you can't do with your money.
What if instead it's choosing what you want and prioritizing
that with your money. And so for some clients that
could be, Well, the most important thing is for me
to eat really healthy and make sure I'm buying good
groceries and cooking for myself. So I'm going to make
(20:05):
sure I build that grocery line into my financial blueprint.
But that also means cutting out these less important things
that aren't as important to me as eating healthy. And
so I think it's a balance of recognizing what are
the priorities and being willing to spend that money in
alignment with really what is most important to you.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So in my practice throughout the years, I have people
that make more money and always spend more than they
make no matter what. As their income grows, their spending grows,
and of course they're debt grows. And I have people
who have much smaller income and you can watch their
investments and the retirement grow because they're aware as they
(20:48):
get these increases in income that it's not a guarantee
of whatever might be in their future. And so they
keep their spending more intentional, more low key, more however
you want to phrase it, do you work with your
clients on that aspect of it, or do you encourage
them to work with other financial professionals or work with
(21:08):
other methods to rein in spending or yours is more
about the building and the coaching of the growth of
the business. That's not part of it.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, So as part of the work that I do,
it's very similar to what you're describing, because even though
I do work with coaches and help them with their
business and like pricing their offers and managing their business finances,
I also teach them about their personal finances because that
ties into the business big time, and so really giving
them the foundations of being able to see their money clearly,
(21:41):
building a financial blueprint so that they can have awareness
around what is currently happening with their money, developing a
routine with their money so that they're sitting down weekly
to look at and see what's happening, where's my money going,
and building a plan with that money to say, Okay,
this is really the blueprint that works for me. Here's
(22:02):
the goal I'm working towards, Here's what I'm prioritizing here's
where I need to cut back, Here's where I need
to put my foot on the gas to work towards
this goal. And so I teach them how to do
these skills for themselves and to maintain this practice for themselves.
Although because money is sticky, it's easy to kind of
fall off the wagon and stop your money management practices
(22:24):
and get a little freaked out and get a little
stressed out, usually when something happens, like an unexpected car
payment comes up. And so I continue to support my
clients being the ones in control of their money and
making the decisions in alignment for them based on seeing
the numbers clearly and being aware of their financial blueprint.
But I also get to continue to support them on
(22:46):
that journey. So when they have those questions, when unexpected
things happen, or when they're feeling freaked out and they
don't know what to do and they're feeling overwhelmed, they
have that consistent guidance to help them move forward.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
That's impressive to be able to talk with them on
all those different levels and be able to hopefully have
them hear you when you talk to them on those
different levels. I assume You've had some clients that are
newer clients and other clients that you've been working with
for a number of years, and as we all evolve
over time, are you seeing those changes in them with
(23:19):
kind of a shift as they redefine themselves in their
personal goals or their business goals, business practices and the
way they evolve with that, how do you help them
negotiate because sometimes those changes are really easy and smooth
and natural, and sometimes all of a sudden you bump
up against something and you realize, Okay, I've got to
do a major shift here.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, that's such a great question. Well, I will say
that one is I tend to work with people who
are really ready to do this work. And I think
that's important is that I kind of have a filter system.
I'm not just working with the people who think, like, Okay,
I think this would really benefit me, but I'm really
afraid to do it and I don't really want to
(24:01):
invest in receiving support. And you know, people who are
not fully fully ready to do this work because I
know money can be really challenging and really uncomfortable. So
I love working with people who, even though it's really uncomfortable,
even though it's really scary, even though it's really challenging,
even though it's been impacting them for their whole entire
lives and it feels impossible to get out of it.
(24:22):
They're committed and they're all in and they're ready. So
I work with my clients for a six month period
of time to start. They can continue working with me
after that, but the first package length is six months,
so it's a six month deep dive, and in that
period of time, really big shifts and really big transformations
tend to happen, even though it can be like small
(24:44):
incremental changes that happen over time. But by the time
we get through the six month container, these people have
a totally different relationship with money because we've done a
lot of the internal work. We work on the mindset.
We go into your childhood's stories and rewrite those stories
and those beliefs not just around money, but also around
(25:04):
yourself and your self worth, and then we make it tangible.
You learn how to manage and track your money, and
then you build a vision and you use your money
to make that vision a reality. And then again we
tap into the mindset and the identity of your most
abundant self. So just going through the steps, going through
the process. If you're committed and you put the time
(25:25):
into it, even if it's uncomfortable, even if it's not
always easy, Like simply being committed to doing this work
guarantees a transformation.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
How do they find you initially? I mean, I know
you've got your website and you do some podcasting and
of course guesting on podcasting and all of those things.
But you said that you connect with them when they're ready.
What are those clues that, my gosh, the universe has
aligned us and put us together here.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I find most of my clients through podcast guesting, networking,
like in person networking. I've done a lot of traveling
and events and retreats, so people that I meet, and
then I nurture people for a long term through my
email list through Instagram. I have my own podcasts show
now too, which is relatively new. For example, I have
(26:13):
clients that I met three years ago in Hawaii who
just started working with me recently. So it's really a
long term nurture. And I have found because my offer
is more of a high ticket offer. It's a higher
ticket coaching program where the price point of the program
is the filter system for my best clients. If you
(26:34):
have so much money stress and money fear that you're
unable to overcome the financial investment of it, then you're
not ready to do it at this high level. And
granted I do give a lot of flexibility for people
who are really committed, but just like, can't financially make
it work. And I have been flexible with people, but
I've seen time and time again that it's less about
(26:56):
the money and it's more about your willingness and readiness
to do this work. Because early on in my business,
I would discount my program and be like, Okay, you
said you're a no because of the price, Now let
me discount it, and they would still say no, And
I was like, Oh, it's not because of the money
in this scenario, it's about your readiness and the fear
of it not working, the fear of not being ready
(27:18):
to look at your money and face it. And so
the people who are really ready are the ones who
are ready to invest. And honestly, I say to my
clients that the most powerful transformation that they get from
doing this work is actually the initial investment, because in
order to invest in themselves in this work, in this
(27:40):
way to commit to a six month coaching program, they
have to believe that their next level of abundance is possible.
They are committed to that next level of abundance so
much so that they've put their money on it. They
are betting on themselves in a really big way, and
that investment alone has already shifted them into their most
(28:01):
abundant self. And then the six months of working together
is just like integrating that and proving to them that
that is now true.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I love that saying that they're betting on themselves. I
mean that's huge, because they're not betting on you. You're
a conduit, you're a tool. I don't mean you're a.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Tool, but I'll take it it's true.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
But I mean you're a vehicle that is on the
way to help them toward their success. And they are,
if you want to call it, buying or renting your
services for a period of time to do that. And
they have to make that commitment much as they would
in anything else they're doing, whether it's a one day
seminar or a six month period of training to get
(28:44):
from here to there. Because they're making that commitment, they're
investing in themselves. They're investing their time in you. But
it's all about making that investment, having that belief that
they are ready for that next step and that you
are going to be able to help them create that
focus on themselves and their goals and those strategies. I
(29:05):
think it's so tremendous what coaches are able to do
for people when the people are ready to be coached.
And you can say that in whether it's in a
business application or a learning application, or a sports application
or whatever you want to call it, you have to
be ready to take that next step. I love that
you are finding this opportunity to present yourself and be
(29:28):
available for these people to make that next step.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, it's really important because so many people are struggling
with money. That's why you know, people doing this work,
the work that you're doing, the work that I'm doing,
like it's very much needed. It's very much out of necessity,
and I think that's why it exists. That's why certainly
why I do the work that I do is because
I was presented with people struggling and I realized that
I could fill that need. And also even though I
(29:54):
primarily work with entrepreneurs and the goal is for them to,
you know, feel more abundant, go all in on their business.
When you transform your relationship with money, it impacts every
single area of your life. It bleeds into everything because
your money impacts your health, your relationships, your ability to
feel safe and stable, to do things that you enjoy,
to say yes to the life you want to live.
(30:17):
So when you heal your relationship with money, you're really
healing yourself on a deep level, and you're also making
your best life possible. So the work that I do
is like really powerful, deep transformative coaching, but it's just
through the lens and the avenue of money.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Well, that's why my show is Money in Life, because
they do go together. And one of the powerful things
that I think I talk about is how, even if
you don't realize it, everything costs money. There is no
free lunch. Someone is paying for it. And if you
can find out who's paying for it, who's making what investments,
then you can really help establish the value of the
(30:54):
other things that are going on around you because you
know where things are coming from. What are things we
have we haven't talked about that you would love to address.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I think it's really important to tone in more on
what you just said, which is money is flowing always
and impacting your life and impacting this world that we
live in. And so I think there's a lot of
people who recognize that you have challenges around money, but
maybe have some hesitancy or resistant or fear to doing
(31:25):
this work. But also I've seen time and time again
that avoiding this work and avoiding looking at your money
is actually just creating more of the financial stress and
more of the fear, and more of the stress. And
really the sooner that you start, the better, because it's
going to change your whole entire life. And I think
(31:46):
that's just an important thing to note, especially if anyone's
having hesitancy on diving in. It's like, this is really
the foundation to living a fulfilling, solid life that you
actually enjoy without money can trolling you or stressing you
out or holding you back from living that life.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I definitely agree with all of that.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
It's possible to live a life that you really love
and enjoy, even if it doesn't feel that way, even
if it feels like circumstances are preventing that from being
the case. But being somebody who used to feel trapped
by money and success and circumstances and felt like I
couldn't live a life that I actually enjoyed. In fact,
I hadn't even considered what a life I wanted to live.
(32:30):
Even looked like I didn't even know that was an
option or something I could consider. Consider it, consider it,
and know that it's actually possible to make that happen.
And if you're curious to learn more about the way
that I do this work, I have lots of valuable
resources available to share with you, which you can check
out on my website, thebiz Hippie dot com.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I will be sharing links to your website in the
notes on the podcast so that people can find you
