While some say that money is the root of all evil, Abundance and Business Coach Melissa Martin says money simply magnifies a woman’s underlying energy. And if you’re open to receiving love and support, you’re more likely to put it back out into the universe. This was a hard-won truth for Melissa, whose troubled relationship with money shaped her behavior and was entwined with her sense of self. Her journey to mend her relationship with money cascaded into multiple positive impacts, and it began with untying her self-worth from her net worth.

This week Melissa shares her journey in network marketing and helping women reach a life of abundance and alignment through her empowerment company. She’ll also share the biggest issues for women entrepreneurs when it comes to their money mindset, as well as her best advice to address them - and, of course, she shares her insight on making her business a force for good in the world.

Topics covered in this episode:
- Women and money management
- Doing good with money
- Rebuilding financially and emotionally
- Unlocking your potential
- Overcoming negative mindsets
- Self-limiting beliefs
- Helping yourself to help others

Takeaways from this episode:
- Many women in business struggle with raising their rates, and much of it has to do with knowing their worth. It’s not always about the money itself, but what it represents.
- Rock bottom can be a foundation to build your new mountain. Change your mindset of loss to one of gratitude and watch how your reality changes.
- Unlocking financial potential begins with being open to receiving love and support and being able to ask for what you want.
- To address your mindset issues, begin with an awareness of your thoughts. Ask yourself where your negative thoughts come from. Then choose a new belief and find proof that supports it.
- Your beliefs create your thoughts, your thoughts create your actions, and your actions create your reality.
- When you are unapologetic about your desires and share your gifts from a place of alignment with your desires, you can serve from your highest perspective and do more good.
