Wow, this episode has to be one of my favourite to date. Join me and the amazing Money Mindset Mentor, Denise Duffield-Thomas to talk about all the reasons why you are not reaching your wealth potential. We no longer have to be stuck where we are, we are in control of our income and our income opportunities are limitless. It is not money that is the issue, it is the way we think about it and how we use it. Listen to Denise speak wisdom after wisdom to help us break down the ideas and experiences that are preventing us from reaching our potential. We also go into manifestation and law of attraction and so much more.

Topics we covered :

Past experiences that effect your money mindset

How to create role models for yourself to help you achieve

Controlling your money influences

How to stop using your self worth to price your products/ services

How to overcome your money blocks

Dealing with guilt around money

Negative money mindset shifting 

Manifestation and Law of attraction

 

This episode has definitely changed the way I think and feel about money. Being financially independent is so important and so take control and allow yourself to reach the abundance that you want. I would recommend 100 times over to find out more about Denise through her 3 books that are available. She also provides workshops and so much more. There is even a free audio to get started on your money blocks on her website.

As individuals, we all have blocks. Things that stop us from putting ourselves out there, achieving our potential, being exactly who we want to be, showing up exactly how and where we want to. These can be systemic blocks from our history and the culture around us, or, it can be from our own personal experiences. But, good news, we can rid ourselves of these blocks to help us reach this limitless potential. 

Samantha is the CEO and Founder of the School of Visibility, a school aiming to help women become seen and heard in all aspects of life; career, family, relationships, etc. She explains to me what blocks are and ways to break them down so that we are no longer chained by them. 

In this episode we discuss: 

What is a visibility block

Why we are holding ourselves back in a limitless world

How systemic oppression continues to limit us

Samantha's journey through sexual trauma, chronic depression and chronic fatigue

The physical effect of trauma

The 'good girl' archetype

The result of conditioning 

How to overcome personal and systemic blocks

How to notice and clear emotions 

 

This was a conversation that filled me with warmth and hope. Samantha's wisdom has resonated with me and it is no wonder that she is helping women all around the world to become visible. If you listen to this episode and want more information/ guidance in overcoming your own blocks, there are free resources on the School of Visibility's website.

I am excited to welcome this week's interviewee, Jane Walker MBE. Planning on taking a 3 month sabbatical from her job managing 28 newspapers for some time to herself and a chance to evaluate where she was heading, she returns from the Philippines with a new mission instead; to help give people living in the slums a choice in their future. 

Her incredibly moving story gave me goose bumps as she describes the living conditions of these slums and her unwavering motivation to provide a better life for them. She also discusses how working alongside them showed her that money didn't necessarily mean answers, the power of our mindset in determining our own happiness and the importance of following our heart.

It was a privilege to talk to her and I know these life lessons will have a huge impact on our lives no matter what our background.

On the 27/09/2020, I turn 21.

 

Age is a crazy thing, it can bring us so much clarity or throw us into a pit of confusion and self doubt. I am so excited to be joined by Ony Anukem, host of the twenty5 Podcast who felt the fear of turning 25 and, instead of dwelling on it, created a podcast in which she interviewed other amazing women who provide their advice using hindsight. 

 

Join us as we discuss the importance of allowing yourself to reflect and change your plans, find what makes you happy and pursue it. We live in a world of suffocating expectations that are exaggerated by the ticking age bomb. Stop, and diffuse this fear by realising you are not alone in this.

Veganism, a topic that is becoming increasingly more popular and discussed. With the environment on its knees, public health at a low and, animal treatment seeing no improvements, it could not be a more crucial topic. Listen to Eliott and I discuss all things;

Health- how to build muscle while be vegan and ensure you get everything you need from your diet.

Environment- how much impact meat is having on the environment and the reason why lobbying and self education are such important topics

Animal living conditions- what happens to cows producing your milk.
