Cycle Breakers & Money Makers

13. How I Manage Financial Scarcity as a Single Mom CEO


Listen Later

From starting over financially after an unexpected divorce while pregnant to rebuilding my savings and ultimately creating six figures one one year and then in one launch, I’ve dug myself through the trenches to create my current my sense of safety with money: investing, creating it and holding it.

My personal journey with money started with relentlessly saving the $5 chore money I got from looking after my baby sister. Because I grew up in a household that was struggling to pay the bills, anything but saving felt like a threat.

And that feeling lasted well into adulthood. It's still something I grapple with today. So when I went from my "dream" life in London to moving back home and living on food stamps while pregnant, it felt like my worst fear had come true.


I do what I do because I want women of color to escape this cycle by creating more money, because of who they are. But it’s impossible to create more money without feeling safe in our ability to let it go and have it return to us.


So I’m giving you the concrete steps I take when I feel like I’m falling into scarcity.


As a single mom, scaling my business has often been an uncomfortable, scary experience. If you're feeling that, you're not alone. Tune in to hear how I process these feelings in a concrete way!


In this episode, we're chatting about:

  • My own money story
  • Acknowledging and normalizing the fear
  • Making peace with your money past and present
  • Differentiating facts vs. thoughts
  • Pinpointing EVERY option at your disposal
  • What my money mindset looked like an action in Q3 vs Q4 of this year, when I made my biggest investments during my lowest earning quarter, followed by my highest earning quarter.
  • Finding the revenue generating actions you can take
