Making Decisions on Spending: Live Coaching with Sofaya Hussein
Episode description
This week we’re back with another live coaching episode! I’m chatting with makeup artist, beauty educator, and Creative Virtual Assistant Sofaya Hussein about the worry around spending money in our businesses – a big stumbling block that comes up a lot!
Sofaya tells us about feeling resistant and terrified of spending money even when she has the utmost confidence in her ability to make money in her business. She shows up with a ton of great questions around how she’s built her own money beliefs – why is there such a discrepancy between action and feelings?
Huge thanks to Sofaya for sharing her time and experience with us!

FROM SOFAYA
‘Even though I had the utmost confidence in myself and knew I could work it out and I could make that money, I found myself so absolutely resistant and terrified of spending that money. It brought me to the question of where's this discrepancy coming from and how do I get my actions to match up with my feelings.’
FROM RAY
“I just did a podcast interview with Natalie Miller who's an amazing coach and she talked a lot about being a conduit of money and the way that money flows through us, rather than us being the receptacle for money.”
“We don't have the money for the sake of having the money. We have the money to give us a feeling of safety and security. Or to buy a house. Or if we have children, to pay for something for them. There's purpose to it.”
“Both thoughts exist in my head at once and you recognise both those things, and it makes you feel more confused. Though a lot of people don't recognise it and that’s when it's cognitive dissonance, where you don't even realise you are holding these two thoughts… I absolutely believe I can make the money that I need to make in my business. And I'm really scared of letting go of any of it in case I don't.”
