I was super excited to interview Jenna Black on the podcast, as I’ve been listening to her podcast “The Jenna Black Show” for about a year, and am OBSESSED with it!

Jenna actually inspired me to become a money mindset coach and start a podcast myself, so I have a lot to thank her for.

Journaling is really powerful to allow us to dive into our money blueprint. Your money blueprint is made up of your beliefs about money, and these beliefs are instilled in us aged 1-7, as this is when we're absorbing everything our parents say, including about money. 

The way we interact with money is dictated by our beliefs, which most of the time aren't even ours. So it's up to us to create our own beliefs that are true to us about money.

Jenna had the belief that "I have to work hard to earn money", and I had the same belief, because our parents and ancestors have all had to work hard to make a living.

But there's so much power in saying "the cycle will end with me" or "I return this belief that's not mine back to origin, with consciousness and love", which will stop that belief from being passed down to future generations.

Jenna also recommends to re-write your reality through writing affirmations as if they've already come into fruition (in the past tense). This will reinforce those new beliefs in your subconscious mind, raise your vibration, and over time, you will feel and believe that your new beliefs are your truth. Your subconscious mind accepts what you tell it, so the more you reinforce our new belief, the more it becomes your new truth.

As women, we struggle to put ourselves first and ask for the money we want. Women also typically get more emotional about money than men, as our feminine energy and emotions comes into play.

Anytime you have a block about money, such as struggling to ask for money or having guilt about spending, ask your subconscious mind (through journaling) where this block is coming from. Did it come from a parent? Or from society more generally?

When it comes to pricing, Jenna recommends to not compare your pricing to your competitor's, as it'll take you away from your intuition. If you have any resentment towards your pricing, and you feel like it's not a fair energy exchange, that's your intuition telling you that it's time to increase your prices.

If you're wanting to increase your prices, give yourself the space to listen to your intuition and listen to that whisper telling you how much you should charge. Visualising the impact you'll add to your client's lives (for years to come) will help you to realise the value that you're adding, encourage you to charge more, and you'll feel confident charging more! Just say the price, and detach the emotion.

It's not our job to assume how much money people have to spend or whether they're ready to invest or not. If somebody wants to invest in you, they will make it happen. So remember to stand your ground and be really anchored in your power and value.

It doesn't matter how much experience you have in your profession; you have a life's worth of valuable experience, and you are your own testimonial!

With sales, instead of coming from a place of fear or scarcity, remind yourself that you won't be for everyone and you don't need to "convince" people. Believe that your clients are intuitively attracted to you, it may take them a while to reach out but they'll get in contact when they're ready.

If you're not sure whether to invest in a coach, look for a sign from the universe. Jenna asked to see an orange bird and saw a graffiti'd orange bird on a skatepark where she lives in Sydney, and so invested in the coach.

Remember that the scariest part is before you do the thing but once you've actually done i
