Is Money A Dirty Word?

Ok ,
I'd like to get a bit vulnerable with you if that's alright.
One of the major contributing factors to my depression, was money stress.
At the time, we were living less than pay check to pay check and we'd just welcomed our second child into our lives.
I was leaving my job to be home because I didn't make enough to pay for childcare and I wanted to be with my babies.
I grew up knowing money was always 'tight'.
No matter how much money we had, there were always worries and I was aware of them.
I found myself repeating the same habits as I became an adult. Either overspending, or hoarding what little I had.
Then one day just under 3 years ago, I was faced with a pivotal choice.
The opportunity to step into my purpose and answer my calling by investing in my budding coaching business by working with a business coach.
There were SO many reasons to pass on the opportunity.
I remember thinking... we’re a single income family of 5!!! We just had our third baby. I’m trying to homeschool and support a kid on the spectrum.
How can I justify taking from our family this way?!
Then I realized, I was hesitating because I believed I'd fail...
After all, I'd failed when I tried to be a 'fitness coach' with an MLM company several years before.
What made me think this would be any different?
If I truly believed the signs I was receiving, would I be hesitating?
I'd tapped into a deeper level of my intuition and I'd begun reading professionally. I was seeing the impact that was having for others and how deeply they resonated.
And those same readings were showing me that coaching was my calling!
So I spoke with my husband and we made a terrifying choice, to invest in our future.
Together, we decided to trust and find the money even though it was hard.
We put trust into the gifts I'd developed in a very intentional way. Building that trust in my new ability was an incredible part of developing them.

Things changed a LOT after that decision.
3 months later, I signed my first client for my brand new 12-week program!
I found the deepest level of self confidence I'd ever experienced.
And my kids got to watch me step into my purpose in such a powerful way that they celebrate it with me through dance parties.
I bring this up, because I just paid the final instalment on two of my latest coaching investments.
It's a powerful full circle moment for me that I wasn't sure I'd ever reach.
Growing up with constant conflicting messages around money and debt, it feels pretty transformative to walk a new path.
And that’s why I’m so passionate about sharing my work and helping other busy moms say yes to their futures.
Because I do not want moms recovering from depression to have to struggle with feeling like they’ll fail in creating the future they dream about.
I want them to wake up living in the dream home, in their best health, and being the mom their kids deserve. Which is why I'm hosting my 11:11 Portal Sale offering you multiple ways to save on saying 'Yes' to your future.
