WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.320 What is the story behind your why that you'd 00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:07.940 like to share with the audience? I think that 00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:10.240 there's different layers, but I think ultimately 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.460 at the end of it, I think what I think is really 00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:17.920 important is when we have a good relationship 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.359 with money, we're able to teach that to our children. 00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.460 And ultimately, you know, money is just a reflection 00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:26.179 of ourselves. And so when we have a good relationship, 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.190 air quotes, right? Good. relationship with money, 00:00:29.329 --> 00:00:33.090 then that also reflects how we are with ourselves. 00:00:33.710 --> 00:00:39.750 And I think that when we, at least for me and 00:00:39.750 --> 00:00:41.590 what I've noticed in myself and clients with 00:00:41.590 --> 00:00:45.009 women, is that when we have transformed our relationship 00:00:45.009 --> 00:00:49.350 with money, we literally are able to stop some 00:00:49.350 --> 00:00:54.770 of that generational experiences that we have 00:00:54.770 --> 00:00:57.310 incurred from the past. And we're able to change 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.259 the trajectory of our children's future by how 00:01:02.259 --> 00:01:09.319 we live and be with money. For sure. Wow. Tell 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.920 me more about that. I mean, I think that if you're 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.000 not aware of your relationship with money, you 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.859 act on autopilot. So you might be saying things 00:01:20.859 --> 00:01:24.400 to your children that your parents told you or 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.799 your grandparents told your parents. And so you 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:31.890 just, you reenact the same story that probably 00:01:31.890 --> 00:01:34.829 you grew up with. But when you are aware that 00:01:34.829 --> 00:01:36.530 you can have a different relationship with money, 00:01:36.590 --> 00:01:39.209 that you, that your children can have a different 00:01:39.209 --> 00:01:40.890 relationship and a more, when I say different, 00:01:40.930 --> 00:01:43.049 what I mean is empowered relationship with money. 00:01:43.549 --> 00:01:48.129 Then you empower your children as well. Let's 00:01:48.129 --> 00:01:52.750 talk both sides. What do you mean by an empowered 00:01:52.750 --> 00:01:54.930 relationship and what's the other side of that 00:01:54.930 --> 00:01:59.319 equation? Well, the other side is disempowered. 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:06.459 So lots of I can't, we can't, it's not possible. 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.699 Almost kind of using money is the reason why 00:02:09.699 --> 00:02:13.379 you can't do something. And when you have an 00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:15.860 empowered relationship with money, it's the same 00:02:15.860 --> 00:02:19.939 that you are with yourself, right? There's a 00:02:19.939 --> 00:02:23.620 way to have what you want, to generate what you 00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:26.419 want. You know, I grew up with a family that 00:02:26.419 --> 00:02:30.120 said we can't afford that versus now I tell my 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.580 child like that is not something that is in alignment 00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:35.580 with me and dad's values. And so we're choosing 00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:37.280 not to spend money on that. It's not because 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.520 we can't afford it. It's because we choose not 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.060 to pay for that. If you want to spend your money 00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:43.879 on that, that's totally OK. But that's not something 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.879 we want to spend our money on, which gives the 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.960 child the opportunity to really think about like. 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.560 do I want that? Do I want to go get it for myself? 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.560 And how do I want to, I mean, obviously she's 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.319 12. I wouldn't, you know, when she's five, that 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.840 was a different story, but just, I think being 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.500 able to tell your children that you have a certain 00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:06.520 set of values and sometimes what they want may 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.360 not be with what you want. And instead of saying, 00:03:10.460 --> 00:03:13.000 oh, we can't afford it. Or a lot of times, no 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.219 matter how much money you have, that's too expensive. 00:03:15.419 --> 00:03:17.900 But really what you mean is that by that is. 00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:20.159 the amount of money that they're requesting isn't 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:21.960 what you find value. You don't, you know, the 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.539 value and the money does not match. And so using 00:03:24.539 --> 00:03:26.379 different language so that you can teach your 00:03:26.379 --> 00:03:29.219 children, you know, something isn't expensive. 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.060 It's just, you don't find value in it or it's 00:03:33.060 --> 00:03:36.360 yeah. Overpriced for the amount that you actually 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.539 want to pay. It's not expensive. It feels like 00:03:39.539 --> 00:03:42.099 it's out of my range. I can't have that versus 00:03:42.099 --> 00:03:45.039 I'm choosing not to buy this because X, Y, Z. 00:03:45.419 --> 00:03:49.219 Yeah. Thank you for sharing that. You know, have 00:03:49.219 --> 00:03:51.340 you seen the Captain America, the first one? 00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:57.180 Yes. So in the in it, there's a I think there's 00:03:57.180 --> 00:04:01.780 a part in the movie where. So Steve Rogers, before 00:04:01.780 --> 00:04:05.259 he takes the serum and they're looking for someone 00:04:05.259 --> 00:04:09.319 to find, find someone who can take the serum, 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.379 looking for qualities of, hey, we need these 00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:16.139 qualities. And they they went and go ahead on. 00:04:16.810 --> 00:04:20.170 choose steve rogers to do so and steve rogers 00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:23.910 is this tiny dude like i think five two five 00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:29.790 three and um everyone thinks like why did you 00:04:29.790 --> 00:04:31.990 choose this guy all right why did you choose 00:04:31.990 --> 00:04:35.970 this guy so the i think the the general he takes 00:04:35.970 --> 00:04:38.410 a fake grenade and people are just standing in 00:04:38.410 --> 00:04:39.990 the middle there's like a lot of a lot of soldiers 00:04:39.990 --> 00:04:43.230 he takes a fake grenade and he throws it everyone 00:04:43.230 --> 00:04:47.579 goes away But Steve Rogers, he jumps on the grenade. 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.160 Get away. I'm going to cover myself. So he was 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.060 willing to sacrifice himself. And that's what 00:04:53.060 --> 00:04:58.240 the general showed. The serum enhances every 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:03.399 quality that you have. It could be what good 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.839 you want to do in the world. It could be how 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.259 bad you want to do in the world. It enhances 00:05:08.259 --> 00:05:10.000 your muscles. It enhances your brain. I think 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.149 it enhances every quality that you have. I think 00:05:13.149 --> 00:05:14.970 that's one of the reasons they chose Steve Rogers. 00:05:15.050 --> 00:05:18.050 And that's how I kind of look at money from what 00:05:18.050 --> 00:05:20.670 experience I've had. I think money as a tool 00:05:20.670 --> 00:05:25.389 doesn't change who you are. I think what it does 00:05:25.389 --> 00:05:30.050 is it just takes whatever you have and just makes 00:05:30.050 --> 00:05:33.329 it bigger and expansive in what you are. So if 00:05:33.329 --> 00:05:38.029 greed is something, it's in your heart, right? 00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:40.290 And it's something that you practice and that 00:05:40.290 --> 00:05:43.639 you in a way are. I think money will take that 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.379 and make it to a bigger level. And same with 00:05:45.379 --> 00:05:47.620 if you're passionate about charity, if you're 00:05:47.620 --> 00:05:49.319 passionate about helping people, I think it will 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.500 do the same thing where you're able to help more 00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:53.860 people now. You're able to give more now. You're 00:05:53.860 --> 00:05:57.500 able to inspire more now. So that's how I kind 00:05:57.500 --> 00:06:02.879 of interpret what you said today. Is that relatable 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:07.680 or did I miss the mark completely? I think that's 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:12.009 one piece of it, you know, because. And you looked 00:06:12.009 --> 00:06:16.170 at it more so as greed or good, and I'm air quoting 00:06:16.170 --> 00:06:18.350 for those of the listeners that are listening. 00:06:18.670 --> 00:06:22.250 But it's also if you are afraid, if you are fearful, 00:06:22.470 --> 00:06:24.029 the more money you have, you're going to be more 00:06:24.029 --> 00:06:26.350 fearful. And we think that the more money we 00:06:26.350 --> 00:06:29.430 have, the more at peace or confident we're going 00:06:29.430 --> 00:06:30.930 to feel. But that's not true. It's like what 00:06:30.930 --> 00:06:36.019 you said. It is an amplification. really being 00:06:36.019 --> 00:06:37.939 able, first and foremost, we have to do it for 00:06:37.939 --> 00:06:39.720 ourselves before we're able to do it for our 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:47.639 children. And I think also, you know, I think 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.439 that there's just something, you know, I think 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.000 I said this the last time that there's something 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.139 with the financial industry. We talk a lot about 00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:57.420 financial legacy, but I think one of the biggest 00:06:57.420 --> 00:07:00.240 legacies that we can, you know, impart to our 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.060 children is that they are capable. of making 00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:05.199 and generating their own money. And I think, 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:06.699 you know, in the financial industry, it's like, 00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:08.759 oh, we want to accumulate this money and we want 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.300 to be able to give it to whoever, whomever upon 00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:14.220 our passing. But I think one of the biggest things 00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:16.500 that we can do is teach our children, you know, 00:07:16.500 --> 00:07:19.480 good financial literacy and that they're able 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.720 to generate it themselves. And that that is something 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:23.459 that comes from within. It's not something that 00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:26.120 we get outside of us. So I think that's the other 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.959 part of it too. Yeah. What would you say that 00:07:30.430 --> 00:07:33.569 that has done for your family, the literacy, 00:07:33.889 --> 00:07:39.649 Erin? Well, my child is probably tired of me 00:07:39.649 --> 00:07:42.990 talking about money. We talked a lot about money 00:07:42.990 --> 00:07:47.569 growing up. Like my dad did educate me on money, 00:07:47.750 --> 00:07:50.649 but it was also from a very fear -based place, 00:07:50.709 --> 00:07:53.949 right? Of not having enough versus the way I 00:07:53.949 --> 00:07:57.839 look at it with my kid now is like, an abundant 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.680 mentality and expansive or sufficient you know 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:06.300 mentality um and so i think that the way that 00:08:06.300 --> 00:08:09.920 her relationship was with money at her age is 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.839 vastly different than what it was at my like 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:17.459 a 180 probably at at my age and so that's when 00:08:17.459 --> 00:08:19.259 i say you know we're like flipping the switch 00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:21.579 or we're just like the fork in the road we're 00:08:21.579 --> 00:08:26.759 able to to really create a different life for 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.319 our children. Yes, they have free will and they 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.879 grow up and they do their own thing, but they're 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.539 not being indoctrinated with this fear scarcity 00:08:35.539 --> 00:08:41.220 mindset once we have worked through and continue 00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:43.559 to work through our relationship with money. 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.320 Would you say this is a little challenge to you? 00:08:47.379 --> 00:08:50.740 Would you say that they're indoctrinated on the 00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:54.299 other side though? I don't think so. I don't 00:08:54.299 --> 00:08:56.240 think it's one or other. I think the brain wants 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.580 to go one way or other. I think that there's 00:08:58.580 --> 00:09:02.779 definitely times when I feel it in my body when 00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:05.840 the scarcity shows up, but then my ability to 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.379 catch it and to correct it is so much quicker 00:09:09.379 --> 00:09:13.100 than what it used to be. And then able to have 00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:16.490 those conversations with my... child about that. 00:09:16.529 --> 00:09:19.429 And to talk about money in a very neutral place, 00:09:19.669 --> 00:09:22.509 I think we want to look at like abundance versus 00:09:22.509 --> 00:09:25.490 like a lot of times we just have conversations 00:09:25.490 --> 00:09:27.730 around money. Like we have conversations around 00:09:27.730 --> 00:09:30.669 the weather. It's not charged like it was in 00:09:30.669 --> 00:09:36.889 my house. Wow. Thank you for sharing that. That's 00:09:36.889 --> 00:09:40.809 a, that's, that's a, I think definitely a lot 00:09:40.809 --> 00:09:44.110 of different ways to look at it. And, and I think 00:09:44.110 --> 00:09:48.580 the more, the more we're not able to react or 00:09:48.580 --> 00:09:54.259 act through, I would say, stimulus empowers us 00:09:54.259 --> 00:09:56.700 to make the right choices in our life. I think 00:09:56.700 --> 00:09:59.440 if I'm guessing this right, I think that's your 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.399 ultimate goal for your kids is to make the right 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.139 decision with all the knowledge in hand. Correct? 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.899 Yes. And I don't think, you know, I was just 00:10:07.899 --> 00:10:09.519 talking to a client about this earlier today. 00:10:10.139 --> 00:10:12.379 I don't think the goal is to never not react 00:10:12.379 --> 00:10:14.340 because we're human, right? We have emotions. 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:19.360 We have, I'm just going to go into the brain, 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.100 you know, like we have all these neurochemicals, 00:10:21.100 --> 00:10:23.799 like that is just part of being a human on this 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:28.379 planet. But the speed at which we can see what 00:10:28.379 --> 00:10:31.600 we are doing and how quickly we can go back to, 00:10:31.659 --> 00:10:34.360 let's just call it that state of neutrality and 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.220 we can catch ourselves. I think that's the skill 00:10:37.220 --> 00:10:41.039 set that I want to teach. um my you know my child 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.539 and other people because that once you know that 00:10:44.539 --> 00:10:47.919 skill set once you you know how to do that then 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.519 whatever comes up you get to see it you get to 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:52.879 see you are separate from it you aren't it's 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:54.820 not who you are and then you get to get back 00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:58.240 to to baseline or or yeah i don't want to say 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.659 normal but neutrality yeah so let's explore that 00:11:01.659 --> 00:11:04.320 i want to explore that skill set what can you 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.379 share about about that skill set with us today 00:11:08.060 --> 00:11:10.259 Ask me that question a different way. Like, how 00:11:10.259 --> 00:11:14.340 do you get good at it? How do you realize that 00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:18.679 you're in it? What do you want to know? How do 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.820 you recognize, first, there's a need for that 00:11:21.820 --> 00:11:24.779 skill set? And I would say second question is, 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.340 once you recognize it, how do you improve or 00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:33.360 get better at using that skill set? Because we 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.940 have already covered why you want to get better. 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:39.340 as that skill set right so let's now let's get 00:11:39.340 --> 00:11:43.759 to how how you recognize it and how you improve 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:47.139 on it i think first and foremost you are able 00:11:47.139 --> 00:11:49.679 to tell by how you feel in your body. And a lot 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:53.700 of us are not connected to our bodies. I used 00:11:53.700 --> 00:11:56.679 to be this way where I act in a very mind -based 00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.840 approach, and it was almost like my body was 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.659 separate from my mind. But how you feel on a 00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:04.960 consistent basis, when you look at your P &L, 00:12:05.019 --> 00:12:09.159 when you look at your assets, when you get an 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.080 IRS letter in the mail, When your kid asks you, 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.200 I want to buy X, Y, Z, whatever it is, when those 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.000 money things come up, how do you feel in your 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.779 body? And if it is not neutral and or expansive 00:12:22.779 --> 00:12:25.639 and it feels more contractive or it feels more 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:27.879 sphere based or it feels scared or you feel shame 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.419 or guilt, then that is where you get to start 00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:34.039 to explore. OK, there is something there for 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.649 me to look at. So I would say that would be number 00:12:36.649 --> 00:12:38.750 one. And then how do you get good at this skill 00:12:38.750 --> 00:12:41.649 set? Awareness typically in the beginning happens 00:12:41.649 --> 00:12:45.049 after the fact, right? So you notice, let's just 00:12:45.049 --> 00:12:47.990 say that you look at your P &L and you have feelings 00:12:47.990 --> 00:12:49.750 around it because it's not what you think it 00:12:49.750 --> 00:12:52.629 should be, air quotes, should be. And you are 00:12:52.629 --> 00:12:56.429 aware of what emotions and feelings and thoughts 00:12:56.429 --> 00:12:59.769 that you are having based on those numbers, that 00:12:59.769 --> 00:13:05.539 math staring at you. Then what happens is sometimes 00:13:05.539 --> 00:13:08.440 you and you might have a reaction to it, right? 00:13:08.820 --> 00:13:12.340 That is that first awareness piece is that you 00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:16.279 catch things after the fact. Then the next step 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.360 or awareness is you see it happening in real 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:22.539 time, like noticing. Like the other day, I noticed 00:13:22.539 --> 00:13:24.659 something with our taxes and I was like, oh, 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.480 I saw I felt the feelings coming up with inside 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:29.279 me. And I'm like, I see what's happening here. 00:13:29.419 --> 00:13:32.919 And it's almost kind of like I was. watching 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.120 what was happening within my body. And I was 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.440 like, I saw that separation. I'm like, I'm going 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.840 to feel this because clearly this is coming up 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.500 to be expressed, to be transcended. And I'm going 00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:44.519 to feel this. And then I'm going to, you know, 00:13:44.539 --> 00:13:48.279 move through it. And then the other side is that 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:51.820 you intentionally, right? And this doesn't happen 00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:53.600 100 % of the time. Like, I don't think we ever 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:55.019 get to this place because I think that puts a 00:13:55.019 --> 00:13:57.700 lot of pressure on us. But what is your state 00:13:57.700 --> 00:14:01.340 of being? when it comes to yourself with money. 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.299 And so is it 70, 80 % of the time that you are 00:14:05.299 --> 00:14:09.299 purposely going in with the intention of feeling, 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.500 what are the, what are those feelings you want 00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:14.120 to feel? Peaceful, calm, confident, empowered, 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:18.039 neutral. Like what are those feelings? And then 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.919 practicing those on a daily basis. And then noticing 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:25.240 when you go, you know, into those blips of scarcity 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.860 or fear -based and then coming back out. But 00:14:27.860 --> 00:14:33.220 that. That kind of happens in a phase, I guess, 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.320 you know, your awareness shifts as the more that 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.200 you do it, the more that you become aware, the 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.639 more that you are connected to yourself and your 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:44.960 body. Let's talk with an example. So I understand 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:47.659 that better. Can you share some of those examples 00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:50.899 that actually relate directly to it? So like 00:14:50.899 --> 00:14:52.980 I mentioned, like, let's just say that, you know, 00:14:52.980 --> 00:14:56.470 some people like there's. apparently like in 00:14:56.470 --> 00:15:00.889 the US, you know, we have the IRS. And so for 00:15:00.889 --> 00:15:03.090 some people, that's a very triggering thing for 00:15:03.090 --> 00:15:04.990 them. Like they have been taught, like you don't 00:15:04.990 --> 00:15:07.049 want to be audited. There's a lot of fear around 00:15:07.049 --> 00:15:09.669 that. So let's say that they were, they got a 00:15:09.669 --> 00:15:11.669 letter in the mail and maybe it was just inside 00:15:11.669 --> 00:15:14.210 the letter was, Hey, we noticed you changed your 00:15:14.210 --> 00:15:17.870 address. If this is not correct, let us know. 00:15:18.590 --> 00:15:21.350 But you see that letter from the Internal Revenue 00:15:21.350 --> 00:15:23.690 Service and then you feel those feelings, right? 00:15:23.750 --> 00:15:25.490 You think, oh my goodness, I don't want to open 00:15:25.490 --> 00:15:27.309 it up. I don't want to open the letter. Or you 00:15:27.309 --> 00:15:29.129 think, oh my goodness, what happened? Am I being 00:15:29.129 --> 00:15:32.769 audited? Or you think, you know, the thousand 00:15:32.769 --> 00:15:35.570 thoughts that you might think or feel and then 00:15:35.570 --> 00:15:41.029 recognizing if you were in the first stage of 00:15:41.029 --> 00:15:43.669 awareness, you may not even notice that that's 00:15:43.669 --> 00:15:46.980 what's happening, right? So you would open up 00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:49.279 the envelope and then you would be, you would 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:50.779 read it and they would say, oh, they just are 00:15:50.779 --> 00:15:53.360 confirming that I changed my address. Then you 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.539 could look back and be like, oh, look how I felt 00:15:55.539 --> 00:15:59.500 in my body when I saw that in the mailbox. So 00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:01.059 that's that late, you know, that's that first 00:16:01.059 --> 00:16:03.000 stage of awareness. If you're in the middle stage 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.039 of awareness, you would be opening up the letter 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:06.519 and you'd be like, I noticed what's happening 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:09.240 in my body. I am feeling fear or I'm feeling 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:14.000 maybe shame and I'm recognizing this and I'm, 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.799 I'm, allowing this to pass through me and you 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:18.740 know i do a lot of like hand on heart somatic 00:16:18.740 --> 00:16:20.860 work of like okay i see what's happening here 00:16:20.860 --> 00:16:23.299 this is an old story that's coming up that's 00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:26.779 you know wanting to be released and then if you 00:16:26.779 --> 00:16:30.679 were on the other side of you've practiced in 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:32.659 your mind you've actually practiced receiving 00:16:32.659 --> 00:16:35.440 the irs statement and when you get it you feel 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:39.159 nothing that is the other side of the awareness 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:48.549 so this So someone gets an IRS statement and 00:16:48.549 --> 00:16:51.090 they think of the worst case scenario. Sometimes 00:16:51.090 --> 00:16:57.350 they do. Yeah. And worst case scenario. But this 00:16:57.350 --> 00:17:01.789 method helps them in case there is a worst case 00:17:01.789 --> 00:17:07.509 scenario. Right? Well, that's one piece. And 00:17:07.509 --> 00:17:11.319 maybe the IRS isn't the best statement. When 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.720 you are practicing, who is the person that has 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.319 a calm and neutral relationship with money? That's 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.119 what you want to be practicing. So that comes 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:26.039 with meditation and envisioning. Because the 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.079 brain and the body, they don't know any different 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:30.500 between actual what's happening between me and 00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:32.519 you right here or if I were to have rehearsed 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:35.700 this interview 60 times. The body doesn't know 00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:38.619 any different. So you start rehearsing who is, 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:40.460 and this is where it really gets down to who 00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:45.640 is the person that feels calm and trusts, you 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.059 know, themselves with money. And that is empowered. 00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:51.380 And that is, and I would say even neutral with 00:17:51.380 --> 00:17:53.380 money. Like you're not super high when you have 00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:55.339 a lot of money and you're not, you know, swinging 00:17:55.339 --> 00:17:58.799 low when you don't. So really focusing on how 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:03.460 do I want to be, who is the person that has a 00:18:03.460 --> 00:18:08.019 neutral. peaceful relationship with money. Thank 00:18:08.019 --> 00:18:10.019 you for being here today. I'm really happy that 00:18:10.019 --> 00:18:12.039 you tuned in to Vision Pros Live.
