In this episode of ‘It’s Not About the Money’ (formerly ‘In Her Financial Shoes’)  I explore the concept of inherited family trauma and its impact on financial success. I explain how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours around money are formed before we are even born, influenced by the traumas and experiences of our parents and grandparents. 
I share my journey of discovering somatics and how it has transformed my life. I discuss the signs and patterns of inherited family trauma, the reasons why some people suffer from it, and the importance of healing and creating positive experiences to overcome these traumas.

Key Takeaways:

Inherited family traumas can impact our financial success, as our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours around money are formed before we are born. Signs of inherited family trauma include repeated events or failures at the same age, language and beliefs passed down through generations, and emotional and behavioural patterns. People suffer from inherited family trauma when the traumas are not resolved or talked about, leading to incomplete healing. Healing inherited family trauma involves creating positive experiences, practising self-love and receiving support, and detaching from outcomes. Self-compassion is essential when exploring and healing inherited family trauma.

In this episode of ‘It’s Not About the Money’ (formerly ‘In Her Financial Shoes’) I discuss where to start with putting money aside in your business. 
I focus on five critical money pots that every business owner should consider: expenses, profit payouts, tax and VAT, cash reserves, and investments. I also discuss the importance of accurately predicting expenses for growth, paying yourself first, setting aside money for tax and VAT, maintaining cash reserves, and exploring tax-efficient investments. By addressing these areas, business owners can improve their financial stability, increase personal wealth, and make better financial decisions.
 
Key Takeaways
Accurately predict expenses for growth in your business. Pay yourself first to prioritise savings and increase personal wealth. Set aside money for tax and VAT to avoid financial surprises. Maintain cash reserves to ensure financial stability. Explore tax-efficient investments to grow business assets.

In this episode on the ‘It’s Not About the Money' podcast (formerly 'In Her Financial Shoes’), I explore the fear of asking to be paid and its impact on financial success.  I share stories of clients who have overcome this fear and achieved significant financial results. 
I emphasise that selling is not about the individual but about helping clients see the certainty in their offers. I discuss the fear of rejection and judgement and encourage you to shift your mindset around the word 'no.' I also highlight the importance of creating certainty in sales and provide tips for effective sales conversations.
Key Takeaways
The fear of asking to be paid can hinder financial success and client attraction. Selling is not about the individual but about helping clients see the certainty in their offers. The fear of rejection and judgement can hold individuals back from asking to be paid. The word 'no' can be a gift and an opportunity for another client to say yes. Creating certainty in sales and listening to clients are key to successful selling. Making it easy for clients to buy and closing financial loops are important for financial success. Repricing and consistency can help improve financial outcomes. Financial success has a ripple effect and can lead to greater impact. Chapters
