Welcome back to Real You Real Money, and happy new year! A new year means a new phase for so many of us, so I wanted to talk about the reality of working towards our idea of success, and why navigating the ins and outs of this is trickier than it seems. A lot of us set goals expecting that when we achieve them everything will fall into place. When we think this way, we can end up waiting for the ‘right time’ when really the right time is now. The the reality of achieveing a goal can also be much...

In this episode, I’m bringing you a big confession. Last year, I set out to double my income in 2023… and it didn’t happen. Not meeting a goal brings up a lot of questions for all of us – should I feel shame? Should I feel like I did something wrong? Did I do something wrong? I can tell you from experience, the answer to all three of those questions is a big resounding no. I may not have hit the numbers I set out to, but this year has taught me exactly what I needed to know. I’m entering 2024 wi...

I little while back, I released an episode talking about my decision to stop using the word ‘mindset’. There were a lot of (really valid) conversations happening at the time, about how ‘mindset’ implied that our thoughts are the primary factor in what we can – or can’t –achieve. ‘Mindset’ felt like it side-lined all of the big, circumstantial things that are totally out of our control. It made things like patriarchy, racism, homophobia, and really any form of oppression a YOU problem, and not a ...

…because I think we’re doing this whole ethics thing wrong. If you’re coming into the online space with good intentions (and most of us are!), selling can quickly become a vortex of do’s and don’ts: show up every day, but don’t flood people’s inboxes. Share your offers clearly and consistently, but make sure there’s never any pressure to buy. Be visible… oh wait… not that visible… too much! There’s a lot of pressure to be percieved as ethical, while a lot of the time these new, unspoken rules ar...

One of my absolute pet peeves is when people criticize other people’s pricing. You may have had this happen before: someone random pops into your DMs, taking it upon themself to tell you that you are charging too much. Of course it’s easy to fall into the trap of letting this shake your confidence… embracing how you price is a vulnerable thing! But when this happens, there’s a lot more going on under the surface. Those who criticise high prices are usually people who haven’t done the work to cha...

The name of this episode. The name of this podcast. The name of my mastermind. There’s a reason that the phrase “real you real money” is at the centre of my work – it’s the philosophy that I have seen success with time and time again in my clients' moneymaking (and my own!). The “real you” is everywhere: it’s in your systems, in how you market your business, in the way you run your day to day. It’s in your own idiosyncrasies, your desires, it’s that flow that works specifically for you. Of cours...

I have just returned from the first retreat I’ve been on since the pandemic, and couldn’t wait to bring you my thoughts, discoveries and reflections from the time away! My week in Florence was absolutely transformational in the most gracious of ways, and brought to light so much of what it means to trust myself and my desires. The feeling that has resonated with me the most was having no sense of reaching outside of ourselves for success— you may have caught my recent content about rejecting the...

I am so excited to share today’s episode with you as it’s quite a departure from our usual topics here on Real You Real Money. I don’t typically discuss the spiritual side of coaching – a big part of this is because of my own caution around the more toxic sides of manifesting culture. But as I challenge my own biases around spirituality, I’ve started to discover so many nuances, which is why I’m absolutely delighted to have my guest Jazreena Harlow here to chat through it all! Jazz is the founde...

How does the phrase ‘big money’ make you feel? That’s exactly what we’ll be diving into today, specifically why a phrase like this provokes such a big reaction from so many people, and how understanding that reaction can help us make sense of our own approach to money making. This episode started even before I hit record, when I took to Instagram to ask all of you what your gut reaction was to the phrase. Some people said it was exciting, but two thirds were more reluctant. ‘Big money’ felt out ...

If you’re reading this, it’s likely that your day-to-day is pretty thoroughly influenced by what’s online, which gets complicated when what’s online is constantly moving and evolving. So what does this mean for those of us who run our businesses and make our money virtually? In an online landscape where trends can crop up as quickly as they go, it’s important to anchor yourself in what works for you. As we grow with the internet, we are lear...

Today I’m sharing the story of the journey I’ve taken with my course Real You Real Money... I’ll tell you now, this is a vulnerable one! Real You Real Money has gone through an evolution with every round. As I reflect back, I can see how different sides of my own conditioning around money, selling, and worth cropped up as roadblocks along the way. A big part of this was around client results, and an unrealistic sense that I should be able to guarantee a specific experience and transformation wit...

Today, I’m talking about a phrase that has been coming up a lot not only with my clients, but within my own business too: Righteous Frustration. When I say ‘righteous frustration’, I mean that space where you know you are meant for more, but you recognise that you are not there yet. Being in this space can bring up a whole lot of feelings around ourselves and what is possible for us. It can put us in a victim space, where we believe that the things we want aren’t meant for ‘people like us’, and ...

When you hear the word ‘struggle’, it wouldn’t be surprising to associate it with something undesirable, or something that you would want to avoid. But when we really dive into our relationship to it, our connection to struggle can be something that we attach ourselves to. Our struggles can feel like a real, tangible way to anchor ourselves, especially when society’s perception of success relies on self-criticism to motivate growth, and hard work as a measuring stick for value. This creates a wh...

Today, I’m diving in and asking why : why is it so hard to fully step into your business? Why do we hold back? Why is our conditioning making us play small? Why is it so difficult to focus on what we want? And then, the biggest question of them all: What am I going to do that’s different than what I’m doing? What am I going to do to challenge that conditioning and make the money I want to make in my business? Tune in for advice on how to build the sense that you’re safe in your business and crea...

Time for a money pep talk! Today I’m giving you a little preview of what I’m calling our Money Quest in my group course Plenty (because if you haven’t heard, I’m all about fantasy fiction… love a good dragon). Let’s say you’ve started your Money Quest - you know you want to earn more and you’re setting off on the journey there. By doing this, you’re already stepping outside what you’ve been conditioned is possible for you, which is a huge step forward. But the decision to go on this quest can co...

Building trust in your business can feel like a minefield of questions. Maybe you’re someone who worries that building trust feels manipulative, like you’re trying to make your clients feel a certain way. Every time you post, go live, have a sales call, you worry about perceptions: am I ‘professional’ enough? Does being ‘professional’ equal trust? Am I being visible in the ‘right’ way? If any of these thoughts have crossed your mind, tune in for the discoveries I’ve made around getting comfortab...
