The Life Coach School Podcast (general)

This week, I share why so many of us struggle in our relationships with ourselves and with others because we believe that things are either good or bad, not good AND bad. Although you may have some horribleness in you, I know that you also have beauty and love and worth. My dream is that you can start to feel that way about yourself too.

In this episode, I’m sharing 3 powerful conversations I had about money as well as the most common beliefs around money I’ve seen in the women I coach. When we don’t have other inspiring examples of successful women, we will continue to believe that money isn’t for us. I believe we need to see more women being successful and making lots of money because it shows others what is possible. We can all become examples of what’s possible.

In this episode, I’m walking you through this thought process and sharing a quick exercise you can do to figure out what you’re done with.

On this second part of our two-part series on the topic of underearning, I have a special treat for all of you. I am talking to two of my students – Bev Aron and Deb Butler – about money, the mentality that keeps us stuck, and mastering the skill of outearning yourself.

Bev and Deb started out in their careers as chronic underearners, although most people would never categorize them as such because they had "plenty of money." After becoming Master Life Coaches with The Life Coach School, they weren't able to break the six-figure mark for some time, until recently.

One of the things that I notice about my students is that they have a lot of thoughts about their thoughts. They create models about their thoughts – they have models about their models.

If you’re being people pleased, you might feel resentful of the help. This can lead to a sense of guilt – Why can’t I just let so-and-so help me? They’re just trying to be nice. What’s wrong with me? – and eventually obligation. I’ll just let them help, even though I didn’t want them to. Today, I’m talking all about being people pleased and how important it is to set your boundaries honestly, firmly, and quickly with people who may be doing this to you.
