Real-Time Reflections: $10K Months, Money Mindset Wobbles, & Spacious Success


Listen Later

It's time for another juicyyy episode of Real-Time Reflections šŸ”„

These honest, in-the-moment solo eps have quickly become one of my favorite things because I’m such a verbal processor šŸ˜… and this space lets me be REAL with you about what’s actually happening behind the scenes in my life and business - the wins, the mindset wobbles, the lessons, and the messy middle while I’m living it.

And this month? Whew. There’s been a LOT to celebrate… and some really interesting mindset edges that came with it.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it’s looked like to navigate growth, money mindset, upper limits, big personal shifts, and intentionally creating more space without losing momentum.

Ā 

I chat about:

  • What I’ve been loving so much about these Real-Time Reflections episodes and why this format feels so aligned for me
  • Booking over half of my retreat spots (!!) and the incredible response I’ve gotten so far
  • What I’m celebrating and loving about the retreat launch & creation process
  • Hitting my first $10k month in over a year and the mindset/energetic edge that came with it
  • What it feels like to hit an upper limit - and how this experience compares to a similar one after a $15k month in 2024
  • The two biggest limiting beliefs/stories that came up for me around money and success
  • Understanding where those beliefs actually come from (hello childhood + past experiences šŸ‘€)
  • Why limiting beliefs don’t magically disappear - you just get better at recognizing and moving through them
  • The tools I use when mindset shit comes up: journaling, coaching, verbal processing, and questions to ask yourself
  • Why awareness is always the first step in changing anything
  • The mindset shifts that have made the biggest difference in my journey (and why I’ve started sharing them weekly on Instagram)
  • The belief that you’ve always got your own back - and the self-trust that creates
  • Choosing not to let fear of ā€œwhat if something bad happens?ā€ run the show
  • Other fun business wins and what I’m most excited about with the retreat this summer
  • On the personal side… my mom officially moved to Colorado this month 🄹
  • What it’s been like helping her get settled and how surprisingly normal it feels having family nearby again after 10+ years
  • How BUSY May has felt - and why I intentionally created way more space for myself in June
  • My decision to stop doing the fucking most just because momentum is happening
  • What maintaining momentum without constant busyness actually looks like for me this next month
