Investing in Your Dream Life with Emily King Quit Dieting for Good

Would you say that investing in your dream life comes easily to you? Today you'll hear from Emily King, a wealth and abundance coach who teaches women (including me!) how to have the right money mindsets. Something I've noticed about the mindset work I've done with Emily is that it really applies across a wide spectrum. Replace "money" with food, overeating, or any other struggle and you can really do the same sort of work.
Listen in for tangible tips on how to get rid of limiting beliefs and chase your dreams. We'll also talk about finally going after the feeling that you want (rather than a number on the scale or in the bank).

Emily's Money & Manifestation Journey
Emily shares that her passion for her work seems to come from a lifelong love of entrepreneurship. When she was a kid, she remembers being at a family gathering where a family member mentioned loving her hair. She was about 6 years old, and immediately offered to SELL him a piece for $1. (She then went around to everyone else, offering them the same deal.) From day one she's been an entrepreneur! Even then money fascinated her, and as she grew up she found she valued its ability to give you experiences that weren't available to everyone.
After completing the traditional college path that she though would lead into a career, she graduated with tens of thousands of dollars in debt and no job. At a complete low point, she moved home and found herself struggling. Around this time she also happened to come across a low-cost coaching program, where she enrolled and learned about the law of attraction, vision boards, and manifestation. In short order she paid off her debt and manifested her dream home, which started her down the path to her current career.
Interestingly, when she later asked her mom and sister what they thought she would grow up to be, they both shared they didn't know. However, they expected she would make a lot of money! As she moved into the coaching space, realizing that we can identify HOW we feel about money, and then actually take action to shift that feeling and create a new one, was intriguing to Emily. This process also began to open her eyes to the blocks we all encounter along the way.
Money Blocks & Limiting Beliefs
Just like food blocks, we can have money blocks!
Emily shares that beliefs start as decisions we made at some point in our lives. Whether we make these decisions as toddlers, teens, or some other point, decisions are being made all the time! Often, this is something we do unconsciously, which means it can be hard to even know that we've done it. Once we've made a decision, however, it becomes a filter that we are constantly looking through.
Are you thinking that your beliefs are real and true because you have evidence to back them up? Well, the "evidence" for our beliefs comes from the filters that we are looking through. We can create a self-fulfilling cycle in which we are constantly affirming our own beliefs. The good news is, we can CHANGE our filters and get new beliefs that will better serve us. The key? Awareness!
(Listen to the full episode for a great mini-exercise on filters!)
Start playing with your limiting beliefs, and try asking yourself: Is this 100% true and factual? Most of the time, it's not! This means you can try some "imagine if" scenarios and start to break free!
Imagine if....
...carbs aren't evil.
...your weight doesn't define you.
...you can have a lot of money and not be evil.
...you don't have to just "get by" your whole life.
The imagination space is a great starting point for examining your beliefs in a non-threatening way. In no time, you'll start to more easily recognize old beliefs and ideas that might not actually be tr
