    56 - What’s Blocking Money Coming Into Your Business? | The Self-Trust Shift

    What’s Blocking Money Coming Into Your Business? | The Self-Trust Shift Episode Overview In this episode, I talk about why so many women in business struggle to receive the money they know they deserve. This is not always about the price, the offer, the website or needing another qualification. Sometimes money simply exposes what we already believe about ourselves. When it comes to saying, “This is what I charge,” so many women begin to question themselves. They lower the price before they have even said it out loud. They justify, overthink, add more, change the offer or look for another reason to delay asking for what their work is worth. Underneath that is often self-trust. Do I trust myself enough to ask for this?Do I trust myself enough to be seen?Do I trust myself enough to make this decision without needing everyone else to agree? I also share a personal story from my own life about what happened when I ignored my intuition, abandoned my own knowing and stayed in a relationship far longer than I should have. That experience cost me years of my life, but it also became part of my awakening and the reason I do the work I do today. This episode is about money, receiving, pricing, self-trust, self-awareness and the moment you realise you already know the answer. You are just waiting to trust yourself enough to act on it. In This Episode • Why money can reveal what we believe about ourselves• How self-trust affects pricing, receiving and asking for the sale• Why women can feel they need permission to earn more or be more visible• How overthinking and inner chatter can lead to lowering prices• Why a no does not mean you are not good enough• The link between self-trust, visibility, relationships and business growth• My personal story of ignoring my intuition in a relationship• The cost of abandoning your own knowing• Why self-awareness helps you make different choices earlier• How support, coaching and investing in yourself can change your life• Why women rising together creates a powerful ripple effect• How to begin building an identity rooted in self-trust Timestamps 00:00 – Why women in business struggle to receive what they deserve00:20 – The pattern of asking permission and how it can follow us into adulthood01:01 – Why self-trust matters when raising prices and showing up fully02:18 – Inner chatter, overthinking and lowering your price before you speak it03:24 – Why the fear of hearing no is often about what we make it mean04:05 – Childhood conditioning and the habit of asking permission05:25 – Why nobody else is coming to give you permission06:20 – How self-trust links to visibility, pricing and life decisions07:14 – What not trusting myself has cost me in the past08:12 – Where you may already know the answer but still doubt yourself09:23 – Why the women who create bigger lives act before they have certainty10:00 – My personal story of ignoring my intuition in a relationship12:50 – The cost of not trusting myself and staying too long14:30 – How exhaustion and overwhelm keep women in survival mode15:18 – Why self-awareness gives you the chance to choose differently16:37 – How self-trust impacts business, freedom and financial growth17:36 – The decision to ask for help and invest in support19:21 – The ripple effect of women finding their voice20:41 – Building an identity grounded in self-trust instead of fear21:37 – Showing up confidently so the right clients can find you22:43 – My free clarity checklist and how to find your next step Free Resource If something in this episode lands with you and you know it is time to understand what is really holding you back, send me the word BELIEF on here or Instagram and I will send you my free clarity checklist.

    55- The Permission Wound |Why Women Struggle To Make More Money

    Why Women Struggle To Make More Money | The Permission Wound Episode Overview In this episode, I talk about the permission wound and how deeply it can affect women in business, especially when it comes to asking for more money, raising prices, selling, receiving and fully owning the value of our work. For generations, women have been conditioned to ask for permission around money. Permission to earn it. Permission to spend it. Permission to receive it. Permission to want more. Even now, so many women are building businesses while still carrying old beliefs that make them question their worth, shrink their voice or feel uncomfortable asking for the sale. I also explore why reconnecting with childhood joy, freedom and natural confidence can help us come back to who we were before responsibility, conditioning and old stories taught us to doubt ourselves. This is a conversation about money, self-trust, visibility, selling, receiving and the identity shift women need to make if they are ready to hold more wealth, freedom and abundance. In This Episode • Why women can struggle to ask for more money• How the permission wound can show up in business• Why selling can feel uncomfortable when self-trust is low• The connection between childhood freedom and receiving more now• How simple joy can help regulate your nervous system• Why desperation and need can affect the energy of selling• How old beliefs around worth can shape your business results• Why you do not need permission to raise your prices or ask for the sale• The role of self-trust in visibility, money and leadership• Why showing up on social media can feel harder when friends and family are watching• How to begin shifting the identity of the woman who can hold more wealth Timestamps 00:01 – Why women can struggle to own, receive and hold more money00:28 – How self-trust affects selling, pricing and asking for the sale00:54 – The permission wound and women’s earning power01:24 – Believing in the value of your work01:45 – Returning to childhood joy, freedom and natural confidence02:15 – Reconnecting with what once felt effortless02:33 – How your energy affects sales and client attraction02:58 – Using simple joy to reset the nervous system03:17 – Moving out of desperation and into a calmer energy03:47 – Selling from service, value and belief04:15 – Nature, simplicity and the things that bring you back to yourself04:42 – The difference between needing money and feeling open to receive it05:07 – The rollercoaster of business and the beliefs that surface05:32 – Where women still ask for permission around money06:03 – The history behind women needing permission financially06:24 – Becoming the woman who empowers herself with money06:52 – What childhood passions can reveal about your natural gifts07:15 – Reclaiming creativity, leadership and playfulness07:35 – How titles, qualifications and job roles can shape our value08:00 – Bringing more freedom into your life now08:29 – Asking where you are still seeking permission08:59 – Why clients often come when you are more relaxed and confident09:27 – Showing up as the woman who already knows her value09:55 – Releasing the belief that you are not good enough to sell10:20 – The shame around selling and asking for money10:46 – Building trust in your value and your voice11:16 – Showing up as the version of you who holds the dream11:40 – How self-trust and self-love shift what you attract12:09 – Why subconscious beliefs shape your daily behaviour12:48 – Moving beyond old patterns and comfort zones13:16 – Showing up more authentically on social media13:29 – The fear of being judged by friends and family online14:02 – Using social media as a business space, not a popularity test14:39 – Speaking boldly for the people you are here to help15:07 – Letting go of external validation and trusting your own voice15:37 – Asking what you need today to reconnect with yourself16:03 – Why support and community matter when building wealth16:23 – Circulating money, prosperity and receiving more17:19 – What the gender gap in investment reveals about women and money17:48 – Releasing old beliefs around worth and deserving18:14 – Trusting your decisions and stepping into your fullest self18:33 – Asking whose permission you are still waiting for19:02 – Mirror work, identity shifts and becoming the confident version of you19:24 – My invitation into Reconnect Her Fire19:47 – Final reflections and what is coming next Connect With Me Contact Joanne via email Jo Killham Instagram Watch more on my YouTube channel @reconnectherfire

    54 - The Dip Before The Rise | Trust Yourself When You Feel Uncertain

    The Dip Before The Rise | Trust Yourself When Business Feels Uncertain Episode Overview In this episode, I share a raw and honest perspective on the part of building a business that often stays hidden. The part where things can look uncertain from the outside. The money feels quiet, the clients are not flowing in the way you hoped, and you are still expected to show up, smile, create content and present yourself as if everything is fine. I talk about what can happen when fear, anxiety and old beliefs try to take over, and why these moments can become a turning point for female founders. Instead of reacting to what is currently happening, this is an invitation to come back to your heart, your intuition, your imagination and your own self-trust. I also share how identity shifts can feel uncomfortable when the old version of you is still familiar, but the next version is beginning to reveal herself. This episode is about seeing the dip differently, not as failure, but as preparation for the rise. In This Episode • The honest reality of building a business when things feel uncertain• Why female founders can feel pressure to appear positive while holding so much behind the scenes• How fear, anxiety and old beliefs can shape what you think is possible• Why the mind returns to past disasters when money or clients feel quiet• How identity shifts can make business growth feel uncomfortable• Why self-awareness is essential when you are moving into your next level• How imagination, visualisation and inner trust can help you hold a different outcome• Why your heart and intuition matter when you are making decisions• The role of faith when everything feels like it is changing• How the right group support can help women rise faster together• Why I am choosing to show up in a more raw, honest and authentic way Timestamps 00:01 – The truth about building a business00:31 – Showing up when things feel uncertain behind the scenes01:16 – My journey of self-discovery and realignment02:17 – When fear, stress and perceived disaster take over03:11 – Why some businesses collapse during difficult moments04:04 – Inner growth, identity shifts and becoming the next version of yourself04:58 – Wanting more, even when the old version feels comfortable06:20 – Using imagination to create a different outcome07:40 – Facing fears and questioning the worst-case scenario09:10 – Trusting your intuition over outside validation10:23 – Connecting with your heart, your guidance and divine messages11:45 – The bird on the branch and learning to let go12:50 – The importance of faith when everything feels uncertain13:14 – Perception, beliefs and the way we experience reality14:01 – The dip before the rise15:12 – Why group coaching can accelerate growth and self-trust16:06 – The evolution of my work and showing up more authentically17:06 – My invitation into Reconnect Her Fire18:20 – Becoming more honest, raw and aligned in how I share19:00 – Final reflections on self-trust, faith and the rise ahead Connect With Me Contact Joanne via email Jo Killham Instagram Watch more on my YouTube channel @reconnectherfire

    53 - The Reassurance Loop | How To Trust Yourself Again

    The Reassurance Loop | How To Trust Yourself Again Episode Overview In this episode, I talk about the reassurance loop and how easily we can fall into it when we are growing a business, making decisions and stepping into a new level of visibility. I noticed this pattern in myself last year. Every time I had an idea, I would check it. I would ask AI, look for the best way to say it, search for reassurance and question whether my own knowing was enough. At first, it felt helpful. But over time, I realised it was weakening my self-trust. This conversation is about the point where support becomes dependency, and guidance starts replacing your own voice. I share how external validation, perfectionism and overthinking can quietly disconnect us from our confidence, and why learning to trust yourself again is one of the most powerful things you can do as a woman in business. Because your ideas, your voice and your way of doing things are not random. They are part of the identity you are here to grow into. In This Episode • How I noticed my own reassurance loop in business• Why asking everyone else can weaken your self-trust• How I was using AI for reassurance instead of support• The difference between getting guidance and losing your own voice• Why perfectionism often comes from fear of judgement• How overthinking can keep you disconnected from your next step• Why your authenticity matters more than getting everything perfect• The questions I ask myself to reconnect with my own knowing• How self-belief changes the way you show up, sell and lead• Why trusting yourself is part of building wealth, confidence and visibility Timestamps 00:00 – The reassurance loop in business00:39 – Why we can get caught asking everyone else01:22 – How business growth can disconnect us from self-trust02:10 – My experience of using AI for reassurance03:04 – What happens when outside validation becomes the default03:54 – Recognising when you start questioning your own ideas04:27 – Why self-led women move faster in business05:05 – Perfectionism, judgement and the fear of getting it wrong06:01 – Why being real matters more than being perfect06:51 – How reassurance-seeking strengthens old patterns07:30 – When too much advice creates overwhelm and doubt08:39 – Returning to authenticity and your own belief system09:03 – The questions that help rebuild self-trust10:01 – Using visualisation to support business growth11:37 – Where lack of self-trust can affect growth12:00 – A simple practice to quiet the mind and hear your own wisdom12:34 – Imagining how I would show up without outside input13:29 – The connection between money, success and self-belief14:28 – Visualising the version of me who holds the next level15:38 – Moving from fear into confidence and aligned action16:48 – How self-belief changes the opportunities and clients we attract17:24 – My invitation into the 12-week Reconnect Her Fire programme18:37 – Noticing when outside input has become louder than your own voice19:18 – Final reflections on wealth, success, self-belief and ease  Connect With Me Contact Joanne via email Jo Killham Instagram Watch more on my YouTube channel @reconnectherfire

    52 - Fear or Faith? Which One Is Leading Your Life?

    Fear or Faith? Which One Is Leading Your Life? Episode Overview Fear and faith are both invisible, yet they create completely different experiences of life. In this episode, I share how I spent years allowing fear, anxiety and overthinking to lead my decisions without even realising it. I explore what changed when I began to understand faith, not as something outside of me, but as a practice of trusting myself, responding calmly and believing there was a way forward. This is a conversation about moving beyond panic and reactivity, learning to see fear as information rather than a stop sign, and building the self-trust to take action even when you cannot see the entire path ahead. In This Episode • Why fear and faith can create very different outcomes from the same situation• How anxiety and old beliefs can quietly shape your relationships, choices and success• Why fear is often rooted in imagined outcomes rather than what is happening now• How gratitude can interrupt fear and bring you back to the present• Everyday ways we already use faith without noticing• The difference between reacting from fear and responding with calm• Why fear can point towards the very thing you are ready to grow into• How to use faith to find solutions rather than focus on problems• The value of trusting your inner wisdom, God, the universe or a higher source of support• Why the best version of you is not somewhere in the future, but available to you now Timestamps 00:00 – Fear or faith: which one is leading?00:23 – Why faith is a foundation for transformation01:06 – How fear and anxiety shaped my earlier life02:25 – The impact of fear-driven beliefs on relationships and success03:12 – How to recognise whether fear or faith is leading03:46 – Why fear often lives in the imagination04:43 – Questions to explore what you already have faith in05:07 – Everyday examples of faith we rarely notice06:03 – Why we do not always use faith for our biggest desires06:25 – How faith can change the way you approach life and business07:19 – Finding solutions instead of falling into worry08:09 – Responding rather than reacting08:53 – How faith helps create more calm and self-trust10:14 – Practising a solution-focused response to challenges11:52 – Using faith when negative thoughts take over12:45 – Choosing where to place your energy each day13:00 – The opportunities that appear when faith leads13:51 – Building trust in divine guidance and support15:06 – How trusting yourself creates bigger results16:32 – The fear and faith visualisation for stressful moments17:24 – Returning to your own inner wisdom18:05 – Meeting the best version of yourself now19:24 – Final reflections on leading with faith Connect With Me Contact Joanne via email Jo Killham Instagram Watch more on my YouTube channel @reconnectherfire

    51 - What Happened When I Shared My Greatest Shame

    What Happened When I Shared My Greatest Shame Episode Overview This episode is one of the most personal conversations I have shared on Reconnect Her Fire. I talk about an evening where I found myself in a room of women I had never met before, speaking openly about something I had carried since I was seventeen. I had not planned to share it. I had not even realised how much it had shaped my confidence, my choices and the way I had learned to see myself. That evening reminded me that shame is not who we are. It is often an old story, a belief or a memory we have carried for far too long. And when we are witnessed without judgement, something can begin to soften. I explore the connection between shame, self-worth, identity and visibility, why the right environment matters so much, and what can happen when we stop allowing old experiences to define the life we believe is available to us. In This Episode Why shame can quietly shape our identity, confidence and choices • My experience of sharing a long-held shame in a safe room • Why vulnerability is not weakness • How shame can keep women hiding, overthinking and playing small • The importance of being around people who see your potential • Why old beliefs can block wealth, visibility and success • How identity work helps us release what no longer belongs to us • The difference between carrying an old story and becoming defined by it • Why acting on your inner knowing builds self-trust • The power of finding spaces where you can be fully yourself Timestamps 00:00 – The shame I carried for years 00:32 – An evening dedicated to honest conversations about shame 00:53 – How shame can hold women back from the life they want 01:17 – The moment I chose to share my own story 02:25 – What it felt like to be in a room of women sharing openly 03:02 – Releasing something I had carried since I was seventeen 03:45 – The safety, understanding and compassion in the room 04:05 – Why the right environment matters when healing shame 06:23 – Why shame is learned, not who you truly are 06:40 – The power of being witnessed without judgement 07:26 – How supportive people can change what feels possible 08:09 – What begins to shift when you stop hiding 09:14 – Why identity shapes the life you allow yourself to create 09:58 – Releasing beliefs that keep you at your upper limit 10:25 – How fear, shame and subconscious beliefs can keep you stuck 11:23 – Recognising the patterns that lead to self-sabotage 12:20 – What changed for me after sharing my story 13:09 – Finding support to express what you have been carrying 14:18 – Letting go of old labels, titles and beliefs 15:34 – Gratitude, awareness and recognising what is already available 16:14 – Remembering the woman you were before conditioning 17:22 – Why trusting your gut and acting quickly matters 18:28 – My journey from feeling stuck to creating a different life 19:18 – Final reflections Connect With Me Contact Joanne via email Jo Killham Instagram Watch more on my YouTube channel @reconnectherfire

    What You Expect, You Create | How To Attract More Wealth Episode Overview What if the life you're experiencing today is a reflection of what you've been expecting all along?

So many of us wake up expecting the same conversations, the same challenges, the same income, and the same results. Then we wonder why nothing changes.
