ILLUMINATE DIGITAL®: Online Business Strategy for Social Impact Leaders & Changemakers

Do you believe so strongly in a cause, but have no need idea how you can build a community around it online while also getting compensated for your time?

If so, then in this episode, you're in for a treat! 

Guest Alisa Zipursky, storyteller, writer, facilitator, childhood sexual abuse survivor, and Founder of Healing Honestly, shares her story building an online community to support other survivors around the world. 

Alisa tells us about her experience transitioning from initially doing "free labor" to learning the value of her expertise, speaking, storytelling, and powerful community building work and starting to get paid for her speaking by universities and, most recently, for her writing as a published author.

Join us for a discussion on:

*How you can build a community for whatever cause you believe in passionately 

*Why impact and making money should not be "either/or"

*What to do, and how to reframe, when you feel insecure about charging for your time and energy

*How to make sure you are fairly compensated in the work around your passion so you have the resources to make it sustainable

More than half - 54 percent - of student loan borrowers report experiencing mental health challenges due to student loan debt. 

So many of us feel crippling overwhelm, anxiety, fear, and even depression when it comes to even thinking about student loans.

What's causing that?

I completely get it. Many of the students I've worked with as an Accredited Financial Counselor® struggle to face their finances and take steps toward their personal and professional goals due to student loans.

Here’s the thing. Ignoring or avoiding student loans is the worst way to deal with them. 

Read that again.

It's like finding out a hurricane is coming to your area and just freezing up, hoping it will pass, instead of taking time to prepare your home and stock up on food and water. 

In this episode, learn options for student loans forgiveness, cancellation, and management that might be available to you so you can feel less overwhelmed and more in control with your financial planning.

In this episode, I’m going to show you how to start to move past the fear of facing student loans and start learning about options available so you can start to move forward. You’ll learn:

Listen to Ep. 159: How to Get Student Loan Forgiveness if you're ready to stop feeling totally overwhelmed and start feeling empowered with student loan options!

Wishing and hoping things you want in life will just figure themselves out eventually on their own is NOT the best way to make your goals happen.

Why is that?

Because being passive means being inconsistent.

Whether your goals are related to finances, business, and/or discovering how to make an impact on the world, consistency is what can help you move the needle.

Consistency is how we do the daily, weekly, and monthly actions that add up over time to get us where we want to go in life.

In this episode, learn three strategies how you can have a new perspective on consistency so you can stop feeling stuck doubting what to do and TRUST you’re on the right path to keep going forward.

Most people set themselves up for financial failure by budgeting in their head, on paper, or at best...maybe on excel. 

This approach to budgeting can actually make the process of managing money MORE stressful, anxiety-provoking, overwhelming, and trigger scarcity mindset.

Why is that?

Because it actually takes up so much mental space and energy to budget without a solid, streamlined system in place.

Yup, that's why most people hate budgeting. We hated budgeting too for years until we developed systems to make it as easy as possible.

Here’s the thing, if you’re feeling anxious about money all the time, can't sleep at night because you are always worrying about paying the bills, or are constantly overwhelmed with managing your finances....

Then getting the RIGHT system in place to budget that helps you manage your money EFFORTLESSLY can be life changing.

In this episode, learn how you can develop a budget system to stop living paycheck to paycheck and finally have financial peace of mind!

The word "profit" can feel a bit triggering, bringing up negative narratives about the evil harms of capitalism, industrialization, and the patriarchy. 

In our own lives, we can  feel guilt and shame for wanting "more" - or essentially, profit  - more money, more time, more boundaries, more freedom, etc...

Even if we are broke, living paycheck to paycheck, not getting paid what we deserve, not charging for our work, or undercharging. 

We can also feel resentment toward those who are making surplus, and assume they must be "bad."

What causes that? 

Fundamentally, it's a misunderstanding of what profit and abundance truly mean.

This is something I've struggled with myself for years.

Here's the thing. Believing profit is a bad thing only keeps you in survival mode. 

But when you understand why the concept of profit is so misunderstood, you’ll know how to shift perspectives quickly the next time you feel guilty for wanting more.

In this episode, let's dig in to learn:

Listen to episode 153: "How to Stop Feeling Guilty Wanting Profit" if you're ready to avoid feeling guilt around wanting more and feel good asking for it!
