The Unapologetically Rich Show with Shamina Taylor

This episode is about the part of my work that almost nobody connects to money, and it's the part that changes everything.

I teach emotional mastery and nervous system regulation because people think money is about money. It isn't. Whether a woman is making her first couple hundred thousand or her next few million, it always comes back to the same thing. Her emotional state. How she reacts. What her nervous system reads as a threat.

And it does not stop at her bank account. The women who do this work tell me their income changed, and then they tell me everything else did too. How they parent. How they show up in their relationship. How they lead.

I also get into the piece that matters most for the women I work with. Almost every powerful woman I have met has a fawning response. She self-abandons. She watches herself do the thing she already knows is wrong and cannot stop. She makes a lot of money and still cannot speak up in her own relationship, still fears visibility, still tiptoes around the elephant in the room.

Knowing you do it does not fix it. There has to be a process to move through it. That is the work.

In this episode:

• Why your emotional state, not your strategy, is running your money and your parenting
• The mother wound, and what gets installed in a child who becomes the parent's emotional support
• Why people without emotional intelligence physically cannot say sorry
• The fawning response in high-achieving women, and what it costs
• Love means boundaries, discipline and hard conversations, not just giving
• Why guilt-parenting creates entitled kids who never build hunger
• Raising a son who can be masculine and emotionally expressive at the same time
• Why you cannot make your partner do this work, and what happens when you go first

My children are what make me feel rich. I could not have bought my children's confidence anywhere. I had to become the woman who could give it to her.

That is not just my lineage changing. It's hers, her children's, and everyone who comes after.

In this episode rerun, I break down what is actually happening when everything feels like it is going wrong, and why no amount of new content, new offers, or pushing harder is going to fix it.

Your results are usually not a strategy problem. They are an identity problem.

Here is the part most people get wrong. Your energetic state is a pair of glasses. You see your whole business through them. If there is any story running underneath that supports lack, scarcity, or victimhood, every decision gets filtered through that lens. Your pricing. Your offers. Your team. An opportunity sitting right in front of you will look like a risk, and you will talk yourself out of it without ever knowing why.

That is why two women can have the exact same offer. One is signing clients and taking vacations. The other is grinding, pushing, and asking what she is doing wrong.

The difference is not her funnel. It is her signal.

I also go into the piece almost nobody teaches properly. Everyone stops at mindset. Mindset is one part of the equation, not the whole thing. Your thoughts send the intention out. Your emotions are what magnetize it back in. If your emotional state is shut down because you have been operating in survival, armored up, controlling everything, you can think the right thoughts all day and nothing will land.

You cannot think your way into a new identity. I tried. It does not work.

In this episode:

• Why a bad vibration is a signal, not a character flaw
• The lens you are wearing, and how it is filtering every business decision you make
• Being versus doing, and why performing the identity creates imposter syndrome instead of results
• Why trusting and knowing are the two frequencies that change your outcomes
• How magnetism works, and why it comes from your feminine
• Why women in wounded masculine cannot receive, and what it is costing them
• Where there is trauma, there is drama, and why that shows up in your bank account
• Why women with money in the bank who are afraid to spend it are in a worse position than women with none

I became the millionaire version of myself when I had eleven dollars and eleven cents in my bank account.

Not after the money came. Before.

Because if you are waiting for money to arrive before you let yourself feel like her, you are asking money to make you feel safe. And money cannot do that job.

Your multimillion-dollar version already exists. Your only work is becoming her.

Content Note: this episode includes candid discussion of childhood abuse, trafficking, and suicide. Please listen with care.

Tiffany built a multi-million dollar business, hosts a top rated podcast, and does not start her workday until noon.

We open with the question I ask everyone: what's your definition of rich? Hers has changed completely. It used to mean safety, if you have cash, nobody can control you, and you don't have to depend on any person, place, job or institution. Now it means something else entirely. Stacked cash with peace. Money that isn't load-bearing for your sense of being okay.

Tiffany speaks openly about surviving severe abuse through her childhood and into her twenties, and about reaching a point at 37 where she had decided she wasn't going to be here anymore. She goes into the full detail in the first five chapters of her book, with her own content warnings in place, and she tells that part of her story here with the same care. What she describes next is what I want you to hear: what it actually took to dismantle a self that was manufactured by someone else, and rebuild a real one.

Including the business decision most people wouldn't make. She took her eighteen-year-old agency down by ninety percent. Kept two clients, just enough to cover the mortgage, the car, the gym. No family, no partner, no backup. Just the bank of Tiffany.

That was eleven years ago.

What we get into:

• Why confidence can be manufactured and self-worth can't, and how she had one without the other for decades
• The mentor who told her she was needy, and the list that followed: you need money to be okay, a man to be okay, a certain size to be okay
• Being on the offense with your triggers instead of the defense, and why waiting until you're activated is like trying to hydrate once you're already dehydrated
• Her Abundance Walks, slow mornings, and why she calls herself a Type C entrepreneur
• My theory on why waking up at 5 am is quietly wrecking a lot of women, and the nervous system reason slow mornings change everything
• What she asks herself when she sees someone post a $5 million month
• Why she isn't allowed to be the final say on hiring in either of her companies, and the guardrails she built after friendships that looked like support and weren't
• Launching from a regulated state versus a messy one, and how she's ruined entire launches by being a bad steward of her own mind
• The $18,000–$23,000 a month line item she spends on coaches, therapists and mentors, and why she calls it the best money she spends

Then we get into money itself. Tiffany is honest in a way almost nobody at her level is: her relationship with money is still mixed. A big tax bill still sets off the alarm in her body. Millions stacked, and the inner child still says danger. She explains why that makes her more qualified to help people, not less.

And her one thing, if you implement nothing else: money is a direct reflection of how you think about yourself. Not just whether you feel worthy of it, how you talk to yourself. The difference between I hope someone buys from me and they'd be lucky to have me is the difference between two entirely different bank accounts.

She doesn't chase money anymore. She chooses it. Because until you choose yourself, nobody can choose you — and money can't choose you either.

Most people think they're blocked. They're not. They're just not clear.

In this episode I break down what I believe is the single most underutilized tool in creating your reality, and the piece almost every manifestation teacher leaves out. Everyone tells you to ask and it is given. Nobody tells you that if you're asking from the gray, nothing is coming.

If you're trying to create without clarity it's like eating a Big Mac and drinking a protein shake at the same time and expecting weight loss results. You're cancelling yourself out. Foot on the gas and the brake at the same time.

And the reason most women stay in the gray isn't laziness. It's that being genuinely specific can feel terrifying. Going all in on one thing means no backup plan, and a nervous system that isn't regulated for the unknown will always reach for the backup plan. What if it doesn't happen? How will I handle the disappointment? That question alone puts you back in the gray.

Real clarity requires emotional mastery. It requires nervous system regulation. And it requires you to be convicted and slightly delusional at the same time.

So, in this episode we explore:

• Why clarity is the missing piece in every manifestation teaching
• The gray zone, and why creating from it never works
• What conviction plus delusion actually looks like in practice
• The five Power Patterns, pusher, pleaser, prover, protector, controller
• Why your subconscious may be running a different program than you are
• How I taught my kids to do this, and what happens when they do
• My very first big manifestation: $25,000 in 48 hours, receipts and all

I walk through what that's actually looked like in my life and the moment I finally stepped into the clear.

Your subconscious can be running a completely different program than the one you think you're running. You can say you're clear and be sabotaged daily by something operating below the surface. That's the work. And that's what I mirror back for women in my world.

Have you ever asked for your next level, only to feel like everything around you started changing at once?

In this episode of the Unapologetically Rich Show, I'm talking about what can happen right before a major uplevel and why that season can feel so uncomfortable.

Sometimes the version of you that got you here cannot take you where you're going next. The way you run your business may need to change, certain relationships may no longer fit, and the foundation you've relied on may need to be rebuilt.

I'm sharing some of the biggest turning points in my own life, including leaving my marriage and starting over. I also talk about changing my business model after making my first million and how perimenopause affected the way I felt in my body and my daily life.

In this episode, you'll hear:

✨ Why your life can start shifting before an uplevel

✨ How fear can show you where you need to grow

✨ Why your current foundation may not be able to hold what's coming

✨ What it really takes to become the woman who can receive more

Your life may not be falling apart. It may be making room for the woman you are becoming.

More is coming.

UNHUSTLED starts next week.

August 25, 26, and 27 at 11:00 am Central. I'm breaking down my entire mechanism, showing you all five patterns, and giving you the diagnostic so you can see exactly which one is running you and what to do about it. This is free right now. It becomes a paid masterclass going forward.

Register here: https://go.shaminataylor.com/unhustled If your success has created more money but less freedom, is it actually working?

I could have called this episode "why your work ethic is costing you your wealth," because that's what this really is. This one is for the hustler. The doer. The woman crushing her goals, checking off the list, winning constantly, and multitasking while she listens to this right now.

I used to be her. Getting it all done was what ambition looked like to me. So let me be clear before we go further: I am never going to tell you to be less ambitious. We're not retiring your ambition. We're retiring the survival state you think you need in order to have the success.

Because survival is not a business strategy.

You didn't build your business to become an employee of it. If the only way it makes money is if you personally do the work, that's not a business, that's a job that owns you. And here's the part nobody says out loud: when you're already maxed out, you start subconsciously pushing money away. You can't imagine taking on more clients, because who would serve them? So you chase another strategy, another lead gen play, another sales tweak, and none of it moves, because the cap isn't in the strategy. It's in you.

Four signs you're running on hustle:

• Your revenue grows, but your responsibility grows faster
• You hired a team, but everything still lands back on you
• Taking time off creates anxiety instead of freedom
• You've made more money, but slowing down still doesn't feel safe

Then I break down The Power Pattern™, my trademarked process. Your pattern is the lens you see the world through, and it shapes every decision you make. The Controller takes the work back instead of delegating. The Prover works harder to earn the next level. The Pusher adds another offer, another hour, and never stops. The Pleaser overdelivers and undercharges. And the Protector delays the very move that would make her more visible, more known, more powerful.

I also go deeper on my client Heather. Thirteen years running her cleaning company, a Cornell graduate, and still cleaning houses herself six years ago. Her months since she started the work: $146,000. Then $167,000. Then $191,000. July closed at $213,000. She restructured her leadership, released team members she'd been carrying, and took eleven days off without worrying about her business, something she says she has never done in her life.

UNHUSTLED isn't becoming passive. It isn't lowering your standards, losing your ambition, ignoring strategy, or sitting in a bubble bath waiting for money. It's refusing to use pressure, control, proving, over-functioning, and nervous system overload as your growth strategy.

My UNHUSTLED masterclass is where I walk you through the diagnostic. I'll show you where these patterns are operating, how to break them, and why you shouldn't have to work that hard to make the money. Save your seat: https://go.shaminataylor.com/unhustled

In this episode, I open up the five patterns that keep women trapped in the hustle state: proving, protecting, pleasing, pushing, and control. Most of my high achievers are running more than one. And underneath every pattern sits one of the three core wounds, abandonment, betrayal, or unworthiness.

I also share what happened with my client Heather, who owns a cleaning company and came to me in March convinced she had to do it all herself, even with a full team. Her numbers since: $146,000 in April, her biggest month ever. $167,000 in May. And she closed July at $213,000 while working the least she ever has.

Same woman. Same business. Different wiring.

I also share a story from the start of my trip. Six hours of buffer that turned into ninety seconds, a run across JFK, and the one thing I refused to give the universe: an alternative outcome. There was no plan B. That's the same muscle that builds a business you can walk away from.

Inside this episode:

• Why taking time off is a wiring problem, not a scheduling problem
• The five patterns that make you the bottleneck in your own company
• The three core wounds sitting underneath every one of them
• Why some women make more when they step back
• What it actually looks like to enjoy your wealth instead of just accumulating it
• The 56-day rewiring window, and what changes inside it

Ready to step into the version of you that doesn't require you to burn out?

My UNHUSTLED masterclass is where I teach you how to make more while working less. How to get out of survival mode and restructure your business around ease instead of exhaustion. If you're tired of the grind and ready to build wealth without burning out, save your seat. We start Aug 25th-27th at 11 am CST on each day: https://go.shaminataylor.com/unhustled

In this episode, I break down how your frequency around money is creating your income ceiling. How the woman worrying about the three-dollar difference on a purchase can ripple into chaos in every other area of her life. Why the little things are actually the big things. And why so many women who already have money still don't feel safe with it.

Because scarcity and hustle are the same thing wearing different outfits. Both are a nervous system stuck in survival. One makes you grip your money. The other makes you grip your calendar. Neither one makes you truly wealthy or makes you feel free.

True wealth isn't the number in the account. It's being able to feel safe with or without it.

Inside this episode:

• The two types of women who come to work with me, and which one creates wealth on repeat
• Why searching for money tells the universe you don't have it
• How lack shows up in the smallest spending decisions first
• The difference between money controlling you and you controlling money
• Why using money to feel safe is the fastest way to lose your power
• Wealth from allowing instead of hustle, and why the grind can't get you there
• The three core wounds sitting underneath most income ceilings

VIP DINNER on August 14th in CHICAGO ✨

If you're a high-achieving woman ready to be in a room with other powerful women who are building real wealth while doing the deeper inner work, I want you at my VIP Dinner in Chicago on August 14th. This is an intimate night for connection, expansion, and conversations around your patterns, identity, wealth, and next level.

GET YOUR SPOT NOW!!!!

Have you ever been upset with someone because they weren't giving you what you needed, but you never actually told them what you needed?

In this episode of The Unapologetically Rich Show, I'm talking about something I believe every woman needs to master: emotionally intelligent communication. For years, I confused having needs with being needy, and I see so many high-achieving women doing the same thing. We hold things in, expect people to know what we want, and then resentment starts building because we aren't getting what we need.

I'm breaking down what I call divine feminine communication and how to actually express what you feel and ask for what you want without criticizing, blaming, or putting someone on the defense. Because when you understand your emotions and learn how to communicate from that place, it changes the way you show up in your relationships, your leadership, and your business.

In this episode, you'll learn:

✨ Why having needs does not make you needy, and why learning to express them is part of your power.

✨ How to communicate what you feel without immediately putting the other person on the defense.

✨ Why criticism and blame usually create more resistance instead of getting you what you actually want.

✨ How to ask for what you need instead of expecting the people around you to automatically know.

✨ Why resentment starts building when you continuously stay silent about what you're really feeling.

✨ How something as simple as "Can I share something with you?" can completely shift the energy of a conversation.

✨ Why vulnerability and emotional intelligence are such important parts of feminine communication.

✨ How the way you communicate affects your relationships, leadership, and your ability to receive support.

✨ How to recognize when someone simply does not have the capacity to hear or receive what you're trying to communicate.

The more emotionally mastered you become, the more you can communicate what you need, allow yourself to be supported, and stop doing everything the hard way. If this episode is showing you that you're ready to go deeper into this work and become the woman who can hold, lead, and receive more, this is exactly what we do inside my world.

Join me on August 14th from 6 pm for a private VIP Dinner Experience in Chicago! Seats are limited to 10 women only, and tickets are extremely limited. Don't miss it! Secure your seats here: https://link.shaminataylor.com/vip-dinner-experience

So... You made the money. But why can't you spend it?

Maybe you can't justify the purchase. Maybe you talk yourself out of the first class seat. Maybe your daughter asks for the nail design, and you hear yourself say "that's a waste of money" in a voice that isn't even yours.

That is money having power over you instead of you having power over money. And there is always a pattern underneath it.

In this episode, I break down the pattern, the core wound sitting below it, and why it usually traces back to abandonment. I share the story of a woman in my Millionaire Club who just hit her highest cash month ever at $133,000 and still couldn't bring herself to buy the dream home she can easily afford. I read you the post from a local moms group that made every scarcity belief in the comments section visible. And I tell you about the $295,000 G Wagon I paid cash for in 2022 when everyone said I was crazy, and what happened to my money after.

In this episode:

Why the fear of "wasting" money has nothing to do with money

The core wound underneath the justify-every-purchase pattern

Why a million dollar home and a $15 nail design carry the exact same weight when you have this pattern

How playing it safe with money guarantees your money stays exactly where it is

The first $3,000 investment that terrified me, and how I got to $25,000 a month in mentorship

Why abundance consciousness expands and lack consciousness expands too, so choose

The moment I asked my own mother to never tell me not to waste my money again

The worst kind of broke you could ever be is to have the money and not be able to enjoy it. There is another way, and it is so much more fun.
