00:00:30.960 --> 00:01:03.119
I guess it's we just helping we need to release money from these financial tweets, software all these information they still do all good emergency.
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:15.200
Well, giving them financial security and benefits and then an investment that clients get by working with her makes the investment completely liberal.
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:26.959
This also coaches separating a default women to heal, feel empowered and financially savvy after the 12% of many ways that are so often involved in the default process.
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:39.280
Liz's main tool that she uses alongside her coaching skills is that of ESP, emotional freedom technique, aka staffing skill, which she describes as expensive without the needles.
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:55.359
Liz is an expert in commerce, specifically in how it relates to money and relationships, both in her training as well as her own personal experience, which has Liz aspiring her to reach, heal, and empower as many women as possible.
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.560
I am super excited to hear about Liz's work.
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.239
So let's get into it.
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:10.240
So, Liz, before we dive in, do you want to give us a little bio about yourself or just like who you are, what you do?
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:11.840
Yeah, sure.
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:12.800
Okay, cool.
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.319
So yeah, that's a good question.
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:15.680
Why do I do what I do?
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.439
Um, which I will I will cover.
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.159
But about me, um, I'm Liz Harrington.
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:28.800
I am the EFT coach and I also run a business called Family Flow, the Divorce Collective, and um, which actually is so related to money.
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:33.039
Um, divorce is about children and money and relationships ending.
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:46.879
And um, and I've been kind of drawn into that from the work that I did with women on their money mindset, on financial trauma, which is so often through relationship breakup, because we do generally, it's a very broken system.
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:55.439
Um, whether you're divorced, uh whether you're married or not, especially if you're not married, um, it's a very broken system, and we end up really on the back foot as women, generally.
00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:01.120
Generally, obviously, everything I talk about today is a generalization, but it's also kind of true.
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.759
So I don't apologize for that, I just caveat it slightly in case there's any men listening.
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.560
Um, I'm not a man hater, but I am a feminist.
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:32.319
Um, so yeah, I don't know how much you want me to tell you about, but I kind of fell into this work, used to work in HR, um, always been quite passionate about like equal rights for men and women, and um had my babies, ended up doing this weird thing called EFT tapping, um, very much as a hobby job, and then needed to take it a bit more seriously and kind of carve out a niche.
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.960
So finances and its relation to business became my niche.
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:45.919
So I do a bit of a little bit of work with um entrepreneurs as well, helping them with their money mindset, increasing their prices without freaking out, all that kind of stuff.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.240
Um, and obviously that's how how we met.
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:49.360
So it's it's awesome.
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:50.479
I love that too.
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:51.439
Um, yeah.
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:52.800
So is is that enough?
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:53.599
Any specific?
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:59.199
Yeah, no, that's a good, I guess it gives people a bit of a flavour of like where we're going to be going in this episode.
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:14.000
So it's obviously it's about finance, it's about women in finance, and in that way, then what happens, you know, it's the things that you don't want to think about, but you know, if you separated from a partner, things like that, obviously that's your area of expertise as well.
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.240
Um, with your family flow business.
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:22.319
Um, and quite frankly, I mean, you think you were very kind, but women can really just get completely fucked over.
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:22.720
Yeah.
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:24.879
They can, absolutely.
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:40.560
Um yeah, and I guess it's in that way what I think I was thinking it was quite it would be quite nice to get out um of this is that that women, whoever the people who are listening, kind of it makes them think like, gosh, where am I with this?
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:41.839
Where am I with that?
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:46.959
And you know, it's not to be doom and gloom, but it's like how protected are you?
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.839
What are the conversations that you're you're having?
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.079
Because you know, it's so important, isn't it?
00:04:52.399 --> 00:05:04.879
And afterwards, you you find so many horror stories um about yeah, yeah, what happens in the aftermath of things, and it's really it's quite scary.
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:12.639
It's really, it is terrifying, and um, you're absolutely right, we do get completely fucked over, the system is broken.
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:19.759
Um, and that's why I've written a book and it's almost finished: Money, Marriage and Motherhood, how not to get fucked over.
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.040
Um, because actually, once you you're in a divorce, sometimes it's a bit too late.
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:26.639
I mean, it's never completely too late.
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:48.879
You can start again and you can rebuild, but we have so many women that are left financially destitute, and especially the ones that have given up work and have um stayed at home to raise the kids, or even not been the

primary um breadwinner, have maybe taken a career break or worked part-time, or think, oh, I'll have my own business.
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:54.160
So they haven't paid into a private pension, and you know, we're massively on the back foot.
00:05:54.319 --> 00:06:02.160
And actually, if you do protect yourself, it's not about, oh, well, surely if I trust my husband, then I shouldn't need to do this.
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.560
Like, I think everyone should absolutely always have a prenup.
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.399
There's no way my kids are getting married without one, I'm not getting ever married ever again without one, it's just not happening.
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:16.000
Um, they are good because they force the conversations that you should be having anyway, and hopefully you'll never need it.
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.720
But if you do, it's gonna be so much kinder.
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.439
And um, and it's not about mistrust or like tempting fate.
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.920
It's actually if you do this and you don't break up, you're gonna have more money in your retirement.
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.160
It's good for both of you, not just you.
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:36.560
Yeah, so it's a it's a complete no-brainer, but we just don't know until very often it's too late.
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:37.279
Yeah.
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:45.759
And I guess also, sorry, not to skip back, but it's almost like, and it's I think again, especially for women, it kind of goes back to that mindset thing, doesn't it?
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.800
That starts way before this kind of situation.
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.439
It's like as women, we we ask for less, we're paid less.
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.959
There is, you know, these things exist, like a pay gender, gender pay gap.
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:04.319
All of this is real, like these are things that we all feel and see every day.
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:07.360
I mean, and that's just like the the big obvious ones.
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:26.000
But in general, we're already at a bit of a disadvantage um in that way from where we come from, a mindset position, and never mind before you add in all of our generational things around money, what we could ask for, what we should ask for.
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:33.759
And yeah, I guess in that way, like it's yeah, it's it might it blows my mind um when you think when you think about that.
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:43.600
And especially I think as well, when you and I'm saying from my own my own uh perspective, it's like I was the first to go to university from my family.
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:55.279
And in that way, it's almost like you outperform um you know your parents in like that socioeconomic status and gone through the kind of ceiling.
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.279
You've gone through that ceiling, haven't you?
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:10.160
And it's like even if you don't, you know, yeah, it just from doing that, you it just puts you in a completely different perspective, and it it's like you're not used to that, it's different to what to what you you have known.
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:11.600
Yeah, absolutely.
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.680
There's so much in what you say, Karen.
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:29.839
Like I agree with every word, and um one of the reasons I love doing this work is because it's so it's just so interesting, and um, you know, everyone has money programming from when they were little, and one of the processes I do is going back to that through visualization and then the tapping.
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.720
And what was your early money, earliest money memory?
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:44.000
And obviously, for women, it's often their mums, and their mums are what's given a an allowance quite often back then, counting the pennies and um you know, having to balance the books.
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:49.120
Money was scarce a lot more than it is now, it wasn't as accessible, not for everyone, obviously.
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:55.840
Um, and then there might be control around money if the man of the house went out to work and was like, Well, what have you spent money on?
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:10.399
And you know, it's so all those things, and I think it is very different messages that we as women, as young little girls, absorb as opposed to little boys, you know, because you can't you can't deny there's that gender, gender difference.
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:24.320
Um, and uh really interesting what you say about the going to uni, because we all have a family set point, and we can make um subconscious and conscious, but very often subconscious vows to remain loyal to our family struggle.
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:44.480
So I know when I was at work, I really struggled to get over 50 grand a year because I felt like I was being disloyal to my dad because that's he he earned like 49 or something, and I just felt like, gosh, I don't want to shame, I don't want my dad, you know, don't want him to feel bad about himself, even though I I wouldn't have ever told him what I was earning.
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:49.279
I guess I would if I if he'd asked, but um, and that in itself is an interesting con conversation.
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:50.799
Why don't we talk about what we earn?
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.480
You know, there's so much shame and and worry about it.
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.240
So um, yeah, that that family set point is a huge thing.
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:00.639
And some people might make a conscious decision.
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.240
Well, I am going to, I'm not going to be poor like my family were.
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.159
I'm going to make it and I'm going to do really well.
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:15.840
And often they do, and they earn a lot of money, but then they might not feel comfortable having it, so they throw it away, they spend a lot, um, or they or they give it away to other people.
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:26.639
So um, or they just feel
really bad about it, and they can end up being one of those people that earns loads, crashes out, earns loads, crashes out, you know, makes really bad investment decisions or whatever.
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:34.000
Um, and it's all almost always, well, in my world, I've always been able to relate it to how they grew up around money.
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:34.399
Yeah.
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:39.440
And and and also traumatic experiences with relationships with bosses.
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.840
Bosses can have a massive influence on our kind of earning set points.
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.720
So right, what in house what do you mean?
00:10:47.200 --> 00:11:10.320
Well, um, so I think I I've had quite a few um entrepreneurial clients who have come from jobs where they were either let go of um, maybe it was really difficult and and quite conflicted, or even a redundancy situation, but um, but quite often, so so that is trauma in itself and creates a I'm not good enough feel, I'm not good enough to charge.
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.879
How how can I earn more than I earned when I was at work?
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:21.360
Um, but often if you had a difficult boss that wouldn't promote you or wouldn't put you above a certain amount of money, then you you carry that through.
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:26.799
It's like this little invisible voice that keeps telling you, Oh, who do you think you are earning that much money?
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:32.320
And and I I did have a difficult boss like that, and I knew I I should earn more.
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.679
Um, but he I don't just don't think he liked me.
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.639
I was too straight talking and not sort of corporate enough for him.
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:43.200
And I didn't have a degree, um, which he he really didn't like.
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:51.519
So I was forced upon him because I was transferred from another company into his, and he never would have given me a job if um that hadn't been forced upon him.
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:56.879
So, you know, that that was I have had to do work on that because it really damaged my self-esteem.
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:04.159
Um yeah, it's it's it's quite funny now looking back, but at the time it was it was you know it was significant, absolutely.
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:04.799
Yeah.
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:21.679
And I think in that way as well, it's like I love how and like Gabor Mata, he always talks about like big T, little T, trauma is trauma, whether it's you know huge or perceived, uh death is whatever, it's still trauma if it's things that you would carry around.
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:31.279
And I think I see this um in my um coaching practice with some of my clients who have massively outperformed.
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:37.120
Um, and I'm saying outperform, that sounds so harsh, but I mean it it's fact, it's that's that's the word, right?
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:53.840
But um of where their family, uh family basis came from, like maybe you know, they were very working class when they were um a child, but now they're a hundred percent some bougie, lovely lifestyle that they're loving, but they also feel really guilty about it.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:13:22.159
And I think sometimes that's where you can also get really disconnected from yourself somehow because you start performing different things for different people and in different roles because oh god, I can't be too much there, I can't talk about oh, I just bought a lovely bag who did do all of these different things, they don't have that, so I can't talk about this, I can't do this with my family because then they're gonna think who the bloody else you think she is, kind of thing, like and then again with friends, with whatever.
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.720
Yeah, and I think it's so it's just a really, really tricky sense, isn't it?
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:34.080
And then in the end, you're living your life for lots of other people and not really for you for your your own self in that in that way.
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:35.279
Absolutely, yeah.
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:56.720
And I think we always have to remember that other people have exactly the same, um, not the same beliefs, and but the and it I'm thinking about my sister and um specifically, but like they can have exactly the same upbringing as you, the same kind of influences, but can feel completely different for whatever reason, and can get very triggered by you if you're really successful.
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:04.879
So I remember I was um I paid, I got front row tickets for um the ABBA musical, whatever I can't remember what it was called.
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:07.840
No, no, no, sorry, yeah.
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:21.039
Years this was years and years ago, and um and I was really excited to my mum, I was gonna take my mum and my sister, I thought it'd be a really nice day in London, it was my treat, and my sister went nuts and it was just like that's just you flashing your cash, and she didn't come in the end.
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.399
Um yeah, and it was it was devastating at the time, really, really devastating.
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:33.120
And I'm like, that was the I was so far from the truth, but that was her truth, and she put me over it.
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:41.279
Um, you know, when I moved into this house, um they my dad told she's finding it really difficult because you know, you've done so well out of your divorce.
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:49.039
And I'm like, she's literally looked at right move and probably assumed I've sold my house for a million pounds and moved into this one, which was a lot less than that.
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.960
Um, but I didn't sell it for it sold for a million, but it was mortgaged up to the hilt.
00:14:53.039 --> 00:15:08.480
So it's not the money I got, and it's just like we so often don't know the full story, but we make these assumptions, and um, and it's really sad because it has it's massively
impacted our relationship, and and then you have to work that through or make peace with it or do whatever.
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:15.600
So yeah, so a lot of every a lot of the stuff I hear, I'm like, yeah, I've kind of been as always.
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.039
I get that, yeah, yeah.
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.720
Yeah, yeah, which which clients tend to like generally.
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:21.200
So yeah.
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.639
Yeah, well, yeah, I guess in that way, like you can relate, can't don't you?
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:37.360
So in that way, what would be like what are the most common sort of limiting beliefs that you find around that you hear um around money and what are the things that we can do?
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:44.720
Um, which I'm alluding to lead on to some Yeah, yeah, but um yeah, what are the biggest things that you hear?
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:57.039
I think the biggest thing is for me, and especially in my work with divorcing women, is that they don't see their, they don't value their contribution.
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:12.320
So take a, for example, a stay-at-home um wife or someone that has really put their career on the back burner, and they don't see the their contribution, they don't value it, um, especially if the kids are older.
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:22.799
And and and there's an injustice, and they're like, I've spent my whole life raising the kids, and now if I went and got a job, I'm being told to get a job for the first time in 20, 30, sometimes 40 years, what can I do?
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:24.399
I'd be minimum wage.
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:26.799
Like, how can I pay a mortgage on that?
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:36.159
And um and and they don't realise, and this is partly a legal thing, that actually it's a marital pot, and 50-50 is only starting a starting point.
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:44.480
You don't get compensation for the fact that you gave up your work and you know have not really got much career prospects now, sadly.
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:50.159
You don't get compensated for it, as in actual compensation, but that does come into it.
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.120
So, therefore, you might get a bigger portion of the pot.
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.559
You know, you might be able to get some spousal maintenance for a while.
00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.200
You used to be able to get that quite easily, it's really hard now.
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:16.079
Um, but I don't want to get too into the legalities, but the like until we get their belief system running, which is a balance because you don't want to get them too sort of angry and like, oh, I deserve loads of money for everything I've given up, because actually, if they don't get it, they're gonna feel really awful.
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:42.880
So it is a balance, but to have that feeling of like actually, like, and one of the exercises we do, I've well got a um one of our um free um resources, is actually adding up what you do at home, you'll
you would be not if if you if you'd had to employ someone to do that, you'd be paying them about 50 grand at least, and a lot of other calculations are like it's between 50 and 80 grand for for everything you do.
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:48.240
So start valuing yourself so that you've got the confidence to say, actually, that's not fair.
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.640
Um, but it's it runs so deeply, and it's very much well, that's his money.
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:59.920
And I see this with I've got um some really dear friends, there's four of us that go out, and their husbands earn a lot of money.
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:20.079
And I I know that obviously they'll spend happily spend it on the house and stuff like that, but when we go out and it's just us four, there is a consciousness of money, and and it might be just because they earn a lot more than me, and um, I've been a bit cash-strapped since my divorce a few times, but um, you know, I know there's a discomfort and they don't see it as their money.
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.839
I'm like, you've been married to him for like 20 years, of course it's your money.
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:35.200
And um, we don't really have those conversations, but um, but we occasionally we we sort of touch on them, and and I just think, oh, after all that time, you're still viewing it as his money.
00:18:35.440 --> 00:19:08.400
Look at everything you've done and and how you've contributed to him getting where he's got, which is amazing, and and you know, because they are very clever or very career-driven, whatever, but um, but they they're not always recognising their part in that, and um and and that I mean I used to get really cross about it, I don't get cross about it anymore, but um I do I I guess I sometimes get a bit frustrated, um, because in the end it comes back to us not valuing our worth and our contribution, and it's massive, it's it's huge.
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:09.920
It's yeah, it's huge.
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:17.200
I think there's I it took me about three years to read this book, not because it was boring, it was just so much information to take in.
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:28.480
But there's a book called um donor economics, and this lady, she's a she's an economist who was coming out of university saying like this model's broken, it doesn't work like this.
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:38.319
So she wanted to look at a different way of um economics, and so she's got like obviously the donut, and there's I think I can't remember now, I think there's like eight different chapters around it.
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.240
She called Kate Rew, Rareworth, Raw, something like that.
00:19:42.720 --> 00:20:10.559
And one of them is about the unpaid community, and that's around like women who women who um stay at home to take care of their children, um, or even like that the part-time um role that they might take, the discrepancy between working and then taking time out to have children and the dropping your pension pots and things like this, and then also moving on from that.
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:33.759
Um if you are working part-time, actually, if you incorp incorporate into that the full-time job of your mother job, if we just say it's a job, then actually like your hourly rate is pretty fucking shit because you're basically working 24 hours a day for very, very little.
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:34.480
Yeah.
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:51.839
And then when you factor on top of that, like the grandparents who might come in and help that are not being paid either, like that's such a huge part that helps our economy function and operate, but it's just not acknowledged in in any way.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:52.319
Yeah.
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:53.920
It I completely agree with you.
00:20:54.079 --> 00:21:06.640
And on grandparents, like it's very often the mothers, the the or the female, even if you don't have children, the female um person that is doing the care of the elderlies, even if it's their in-laws and not their direct parents.
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:08.480
You know, it's it's very often that.
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:17.119
Um, and you know, it's yes, we're more caring and nurturing and all those things, but it's not it's not equitable, it's not fair.
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:31.519
Um and we might want to do that, and that's lovely, but I think when you know it's not just about the money you have in your pocket and feeling good about yes, this is my money, it's not just my husband's money, it's family money, but it is also, like you say, the the pension.
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:38.480
Um, and you know, and and also let's be realistic, women tend to live longer than men.
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:51.200
So if if you're not married, you don't have access to their pension, or they haven't got a death in service payment, or you know, various things, or life insurance, that kind of thing, which generally men often take care of those things.
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:56.000
We don't necessarily worry about them, they're not sort of in our consciousness a lot of the time.
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:02.240
Um, and so it might not be divorce, it might be just Sadly, the death of your spouse.
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:07.519
And if you don't know anything about the finances, what even to the point where like who do we bank with?
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:08.799
Some people don't even know that.
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.359
Or how do I get into our joint account?
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:21.440
If you haven't got the thing set up, like not just a will, but power of attorney and lasting power of attorney, it's like those things that I don't know loads about, but I know enough.
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:27.440
Like they're really important because you're like, oh well, I'll just get their money if they die.
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:29.920
Well, it takes a long time and it's a lot of work.
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:37.039
And if you're dealing with your grief, sorting out like funerals and
all that kind of stuff, looking after your kids if you've got them with their grief.
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:42.799
How are you supposed to do all that as well when you're starting from scratch and you haven't got a clue and you can't even get you don't even know the passwords?
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.279
Like, yeah, it's it's awful.
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:46.640
That is terrifying.
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:47.920
I didn't realise.
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:53.759
Um I was reading uh somebody actually it's from Doing a Will, that's what it was.
00:22:54.000 --> 00:23:04.160
We recently um was doing a will, and she was talking about lasting power of attorney, and I'm like, we're just trying to sort that out for my mum now, but you know, that's what happens when you're old.
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:14.799
And she um was telling a story about um Pate Darrowway, the TV presenter, and that was it sends chills down my spine, even thinking of that now.
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:19.839
That her husband was nearly died, or maybe he has died, I don't know.
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:20.720
Anyway, he's died.
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:21.839
Yeah.
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:30.960
So when he got COVID and was in hospital completely unresponsive, she couldn't access his bank accounts, she wasn't able to do anything.
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:42.000
I think like his car got stolen, and she couldn't even claim on the insurance because it wasn't in her name, it was all in his name, and she didn't have power of attorney.
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:45.680
So yeah, it's not actually about only when somebody dies.
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:53.200
It's things like that, and that's shocking because I mean, unfortunately, accidents and things happen all the time, don't they?
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:54.720
They really do, they really do.
00:23:54.880 --> 00:24:02.000
And like Kate Garraway, she you think, well, she earns her own money, you know, she's she's very successful, she's got her head screwed on.
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:07.599
Um, but even someone like her, it's so there's no shame in the fact you don't know this, you've just got to start knowing it.
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:13.359
No, and um, you know, but she had a big house, I think, I think North London, I think, and you know, children.
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:17.200
So even though she had a big income, it wasn't enough to to survive on.
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:19.839
She had to access all those things.
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:35.519
So, and and I think actually, Karen, in in terms of how you have that delicate conversation with your spouse, if you if you do find it really hard to to discuss money, um, I think you just need to say, look, if you died, I wouldn't have a clue.
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:37.359
Can you just can we just have some time?
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:39.920
Can we make some time to go through everything?
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:41.680
So I at least know what we've got.
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:53.920
And and actually, if I'm talking to someone that's getting divorced or what is thinking about getting divorced, and they have no clue where to start, that's where I say, Well, get get a will, because then you can find out everything, and at least then you know what you're dealing with.
00:24:54.160 --> 00:25:07.680
Um, um, because it's much easier to find out all that stuff when you're amicable than when you've already broken up, when things can start being hidden and um and not not completely um honest truth.
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:09.759
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.960
Yeah, because that's what pe some people do do that, don't they?
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:23.920
Um they want to they want to protect they don't what they what's there is and not kind of bringing it into the the relationship, so to speak.
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:24.559
Absolutely.
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:30.319
Yeah, it's quite a it's it's just it's a massive mindfield, really, isn't it?
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:39.440
It's like such a huge topic of like how any of this even works, like where you've only literally been talking for 15 minutes and it's like shit.
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:48.000
I've got about four different topics that I want to move on to move go through here now because it's also so like so so interesting in that way.
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:59.440
But if we just pop back to um so we're in limiting beliefs, we're talking about it with the client, um limiting beliefs are identified.
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:08.319
Um, what's the types of conversations you're having with your clients then that then moves into um that the tapping and release?
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:09.519
Yeah, sure.
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:19.440
So um obviously when I start working with a client, I have a really good chat with them beforehand, find out their their goals and what what they're trying to get out of it, why why have they picked up the phone to me basically?
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:21.839
Um, but it nearly always starts with childhood.
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:26.720
So it's usually the one of the first sessions I do is on that childhood programming.
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:29.039
Um, how were they brought up around money?
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:30.640
What's their earliest memory?
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.559
What's their um what's their how are their parents behaving around money?
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:39.759
Um, and and very quickly, quite often it's like, oh my parents got divorced.
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:44.319
So, you know, that that adds another dimension to it completely.
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:51.440
So before, you know, within very early on in the first session, we've got so much to work with already, and then it's exploring that.
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.160
Another um process we do is especially around um charging.
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:31.359
So do this with the entrepreneurs, definitely, um, is visualising yourself standing on a stage with a sign saying how much you earn, and um, and looking at
everyone in the audience, and you've got everyone there, like your family, your friends, your colleagues, your your business coach, your fellow people that you might mastermind or network with, um, grandparents, even if they're not here anymore, and um, and people at school, old bosses, colleagues, and um, and you see, and they're like, Oh my god, my mum's like I had one lady, my mum's just got up and walked out, she's so disgusted with me.
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.000
And um, and you know, that's a massive thing.
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:39.519
If they don't want to say, Yeah, I earn this much money, or I mean, they're not, they don't actually have to do it.
00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:41.359
This is all through visualization.
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:46.480
Um, but it's the subconscious judgment that drives our behaviour.
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:52.799
And it's like if you've got that belief that your mum's going to be disgusted with you earning more money, it's gonna be very hard to put your prices up.
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:54.880
It's it's a very simple link.
00:27:55.039 --> 00:28:02.640
So, um, so doing that kind of work is um is really invaluable, and there's there's loads of other so um processes that we do.
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:12.480
Um do sorry to interrupt you, do people are people always surprised when you start going through like what was it like, what was money like in your household, whatever?
00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:17.519
Do people kind of go like, oh fuck, no, I I see.
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:20.640
Oh, and it's it's almost like it's it's a surprise.
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:28.000
Yeah, yeah, it's like it's a shock, but then it's like the penny drops, you can almost hear it, like, wow, that's why.
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:32.480
And I'm like, is it any wonder you're doing this when that was your programming?
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:35.839
And it's so freeing because you're just like, oh, it's not my fault.
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.720
Because we blame ourselves so often, especially around money.
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:39.839
It's like it's not my fault.
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:46.079
That's not not taking responsibility and moving forward, it's just like actually where I am right now is not my fault.
00:28:46.160 --> 00:29:00.000
That's not in a blame way, it's just like your parents can be really can have done their absolute best that there's always going to be something, and actually, it was a man that I was working with, but um, I was just like not sure how this is gonna go.
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:08.559
I think he's it seems pretty all right to me, and um and he had a some subconscious limit lipid limiting belief.
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:10.319
So I can't get my words out today.
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:16.960
Um, he wasn't married, he didn't have kids, but his whole thing was I don't want to throw myself too much into my career.
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:18.720
He was a coach, he was a really good coach.
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:26.880
Um, I
don't want to throw myself too much and go all in, like sacrifice my life, like a lot of coaches seem to want to do.
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:30.559
Um, because and he was like, Why?
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:31.599
Why aren't I doing this?
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:33.440
Why can I not work a bit harder?
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:38.160
Why am I so obsessed with finishing early on a Friday and you know keeping strict hours?
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:44.000
Which on the surface, you go, Well, that's great, that's really healthy work-life balance, and you're earning good money, you know, what's the dream?
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:47.039
Yeah, it's is yeah, it's most of our dreams.
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:51.839
But he did want to earn more money, but he couldn't quite just get there.
00:29:52.240 --> 00:30:06.079
And um, and we figured out that actually it was because his parents had a really successful business, and his parents went to every single match that he played in at school, he went to private school, and um, and they always do lots of sport at private school.
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:14.559
So his both parents were always there at every single match, and he's got this subconscious belief if I work too hard, then I'm not gonna be able to do that for my kids.
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:16.640
He didn't even have kids, he wasn't even married.
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:22.559
But it was, and that was the thing, that was the key that turned the locks, that just opened things up.
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:25.519
And he didn't start flogging himself or working really, really hard.
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:37.440
He put his prices up, he um, you know, he was a bit more flexible, but not too not, he wasn't anal about it, and um, and he just his his earnings went literally through the roof.
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:39.519
I mean, it was the easiest client I've ever had.
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:41.680
It was so easy and really interesting.
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:43.359
Um I should have charged with that.
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:56.640
Yeah, but maybe that was a part of it, but um, you know, how wonderful, and you would never think that there was a problem there, but there was, yeah.
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:58.559
So yeah, really interesting.
00:30:58.640 --> 00:30:59.920
Yeah, and that's it, isn't it?
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:09.359
It's even when and some that's why I think sometimes it goes back to it's like big T, little T, trauma is trauma, and somehow that's something that was holding him back.
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:15.519
So even though it sounds like idyllic, it was, you know, weren't in that way that his parents were always showing up for him.
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:23.200
Actually, somehow it had he'd created a different story out of that later in life that put so much pressure, it was stopping him from taking action.
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:24.400
Yeah, absolutely.
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:30.640
I mean, crazy how the mind works, and it and it he was so far from that, but it was still there a hundred percent.
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:37.119
And it was like this future image of what life might be like if I go down this route, which it's never been.
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.079
He's still got amazing work life balance and he has tons of money.
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:41.039
Good on him.
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:42.079
Love it.
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:54.640
Um, so on that note, what are the things then that we start to do when um the the God sorry, brain fog.
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:57.039
Um when the limiting beliefs come up.
00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:57.759
Thank you.
00:31:57.920 --> 00:31:58.240
Yes.
00:31:58.400 --> 00:31:59.759
What's the next steps from there?
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:00.480
What happens?
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:10.000
Well, I I think for a lot of people, uh it is so subconscious, they might know that there's a problem, but they don't necessarily know what it is or where it stems from or whatever.
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:19.920
Um, and we can do a very simple process around just identifying your relationship with money and really because most people just don't think about it because they don't want to, so they just carry on.
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:26.319
But actually, even just the process that I think we should do um is is can be you know mind-blowing.
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:29.839
Um, but then I think it can be really subtle as well.
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:45.359
So a lot of people that procrastinate, self-sabotage, um, you know, might not, I don't know, they miss the closing date for a round of funding or for um for an awards, an award that they'd really like to go for.
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:51.519
Um, they talk themselves out of stuff, and and very often it's like, oh, I just ran out of time or I was busy doing this.
00:32:51.759 --> 00:33:01.680
But very often it is a subconscious fear that's playing out that's creating these distractions, creating this procrastination, um, because of a fear of success.
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:05.119
And a fear of success is obviously massively related to money.
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:14.240
Um, and I I was talking to someone um once about what I was doing, and I talked about fear of success, and they were just like, what fear of success?
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:27.920
Like, it like that doesn't exist, and they had never ever thought that, and and they didn't have it, they did not have a fear, they had a massive fear of failure, and that had driven them on really, really well, um, probably a bit too much at times.
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:31.839
Um, but the fear of success, they just could not get their head around it.
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:34.240
And I'm like, no, that is what it's like for people.
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:41.440
Some people, they like you were saying, I don't want to shine too much because then I'm gonna get the people saying, Who do you think you are?
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:44.799
And and then also, this is a massive one that comes up as well.
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:54.079
What happens, and they don't, again, they don't think this logically or consciously always, um, but when I get there, oh my god, then I've got to stay there.
00:33:54.319 --> 00:34:02.880
Like when I get that 10k month, which is for coaches, a lot of the you know, oh 10k months, um, what have I got to do to what's it gonna take me to get there?
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:06.160
And I had this myself, my first 10k month.
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:11.760
My the only thing my husband said was, well, you've got to stay at that now, haven't you?
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:13.440
Or you've got it, you've got to keep it at that now.
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:15.199
Not well done, that's amazing.
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:16.559
I'm so proud of you.
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:17.440
None of that.
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:19.360
Well, you've got to carry it on now.
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:22.719
Yeah, and it kind of sets the precedent, then does it?
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:31.199
It's like, shit, this can't be the it can only go higher, it can't, you know, fluctuate and flow like as yeah as life does.
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:31.679
Yeah.
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:35.679
But then you also get the sort of the sort of slightly devilish side.
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:48.880
Um, the um the ones that want to I always forget this word, um uh reb rebel, sorry, rebel against um someone's expectations.
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:53.280
And um and you can kind of do the F you, I won't, I won't do it then.
00:34:53.360 --> 00:35:00.960
If you're gonna put that much pressure on me, you can you can just jog on and um and go back to being the breadwinner, because actually I don't need that kind of pressure.
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:02.159
And I did do that a bit.
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:05.199
I was just like, what's the point?
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:07.440
What is the point if you're not even proud of me?
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:15.920
Because throughout my life I've always wanted people to be proud of me, my parents mainly, and then my husband, and I just felt, well, you're not proud of me, so what's the point of this?
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:20.960
It wasn't about the money, it was about an achievement, you know, a measure of success.
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:22.480
And I didn't even get that.
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:27.760
So I had a lot of work to work through on that side as well, and hence the reason we're not married anymore.
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:32.400
Not the only reason, but one of the very many ones, in a nutshell.
00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:43.119
Yeah, but I guess in that way as well, like as you were talking then, um, it's like that fear of success, fear of failure, and they're just the same thing, but at the opposite ends of the scale, isn't it?
00:35:43.199 --> 00:36:14.960
And in the end, it's about coming back to balance, and I think absolutely it's like all of lots and lots of different values that we might have, you know, independence in balance is great, but out
of balance, then you're super, super isolated, and then under balanced, then you are maybe feeling like you're um you're in prison and you're really yeah, it's just like that there's uh the that middle point just helps everything become a bit more cohesive, doesn't it?
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:16.000
Absolutely, yeah.
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:19.039
Yeah, it is all about balance and and awareness.
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:22.800
You can't change any of this unless you at first you become aware of it.
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:31.039
So and I think that's what I also find um a lot with the ladies that I work with in coaching is that awareness.
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:37.280
Like people people think they know things like, oh, I know my triggers, I know this, I know that.
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:45.039
And when you start asking some questions, then all of a sudden it's like, oh shit, I didn't realise that that was a thing.
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:45.440
Yeah.
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:59.519
And you know, I say it's like having a filing cabinet of the filing cabinet of crap that you've just put in your brain and you keep storing and storing and storing, and then you bring them out and it kind of like, where has that come from?
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:01.360
How am I even still thinking about that?
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:03.599
It's so you know, old.
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:19.199
Absolutely, and all these things we've been carrying around in our subconscious that we're suddenly conscious of, and it it's like, yeah, we need to take them, like remove them somatically through our body because they're literally held in our brains and in our bodies, yeah.
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.880
Um, hence, you know, and it creates that disconnect as well, though, doesn't it?
00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:24.880
Yes, oh god, I love that book.
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:28.559
Um, and I guess that that's it creates a disconnect, doesn't it?
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:36.880
Like when your mind gets so powerful in that way that I mean it's just trying to be safe and secure, but actually in the end it just keeps you small.
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:37.440
Yeah.
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:43.440
But actually you you don't feel anything then, you're so disconnected from you and who you are.
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:49.679
Sorry, I don't even know if you can hear this, but this bleming dog is going crazy and blessed.
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:52.079
She's gone.
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:54.400
You're just in a hat in the garden.
00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:57.199
Um but yeah, and then that's the thing, isn't it?
00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:05.440
Your body keeps score, it keeps you small, it keeps you stuck in a in a in a place that that's not where you you actually you want to be.
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:14.000
You want to be able to let go, or you kind of you you know that something's not right, but when you don't know what it is, it's just so frustrating.
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:16.159
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah.
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:19.440
It's um thank heavens for people like us that can figure it out.
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:20.639
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:33.199
And then so what would be what's the next step then after when you identify and like right, okay, we know what the um the trauma is, we know what the limiting belief is, what what happens next?
00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:48.159
Well, we do so each of those processes I do separately, and we do the visualization, then we do the tapping around it, and then I'll get them to visualize it again, and the picture has always changed, and and that might be enough, or we might need to do some more tapping on how the picture's changed, and then it changes again.
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:51.119
Um, and it's it's always very healing.
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:56.320
Um, and it's very, very healing with the um like with motherhood wounds.
00:38:56.480 --> 00:39:06.559
So, you know, if you've for example, if you've always wanted your parents to be proud of you, um, you know, that standing on a stage thing at the end of it, oh yeah, mum and dad are clapping now.
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:19.039
Mum's come and this woman I worked with, mum's come back in the room and she's like nodding and smiling, and um, you know, she's not standing up and clapping, she never do that, but um, but she, you know, it's it's very healing.
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.639
So um, yeah, and then measuring it as we go through.
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:32.320
So I usually work with clients over um six or twelve sessions, um, measuring it as we go through, checking back in on their objectives and their aims, are they putting their prices up?
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:35.360
Are their sales conversations feeling easier?
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:37.920
Um, obviously in the divorce space, that's not relevant.
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:51.519
You know, are they able to have a more powerful conversation with like in mediation, or if they're working with one of our um one of the people we work with quite a lot of is amicable, where there's like one person and a couple?
00:39:51.599 --> 00:40:09.519
Um, or are they able to to challenge what they're not necessarily challenge, but question or query, I guess query is the right word, what their solicitor is saying, because we're very good at with especially with solicitors going, oh okay then, but actually, and part of us is like that doesn't feel right, there's something not right there.
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:15.840
And solicitors are great, this isn't knocking them at all, but sometimes there might be another way to do things.
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:22.559
Um, and we know we're very good at knowing what the likely response would be rather than just like I've got to win this case.
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:26.960
So it's you know, it's it's that kind of it's all about human behaviour, really.
00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:30.559
So um yeah, does that answer that question?
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:33.519
Yeah, and
I guess like it's the nuances around that, isn't it?
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:38.000
It's not as black and white as win, lose, that kind of thing.
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:40.480
It's like there's lots of other things that come into it.
00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:48.719
And what is the what's the kind of science around tapping that um that says it works?
00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:50.800
Like why why does it why does it work greatly?
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:54.320
So when I discovered it, I was like, oh my god, this is crazy.
00:40:54.400 --> 00:41:00.079
I've I like walked into some cult, all these people tapping, and like I was just thinking, it's just crazy.
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:13.119
Um, but it works and um it works on the subconscious, it releases trauma from our body, and um and the theory is if you think about how well proven acupuncture is, it's kind of the same.
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:18.960
Um we're tapping on our acupuncture, accura sorry, acupressure points.
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:21.679
Um, I'm I'm just demonstrating the points that you use now.
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:25.119
Some people go under the arm, um, we usually use the top of the head.
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:26.960
There are points on the hand as well.
00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:37.760
Um, and they're these acupessure points that literally, if you think about your energy system as a bit like your veins and and your heart's pumping the blood around them.
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:54.880
If you're healthy and everything's okay, then the heart's gonna work well, the blood's gonna run through the veins, the brains are the brain, the the blood isn't sorry, the veins aren't gonna get furry because you're healthy, the heart's gonna be pumping optimally optimally.
00:41:55.280 --> 00:42:03.280
Um obviously physical stress and trauma can affect you physically, but what it absolutely does is affect your energy system.
00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:08.800
So if you think, well, my energy system is just like my heart pumping everything round and everything should flow.
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:16.800
But what happens is you get trauma throughout your life, little little T, big T, whatever it is, it creates chinks and breaks in that energy system.
00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:28.239
And um and you might feel suboptimal because you've got lots of little chinks, or you might go through a massive trauma, quite often massive trauma we can cope with, and then something small happens and we can't cope with it.
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:30.960
And we're like, but I coped with that, why can't I cope with this thing?
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:35.039
But it's just like your body is like, I can't take any more, I need some help.
00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:52.400
And what the tapping is doing is resetting that, it's fixing the um the chinks, it's ironing out the chinks, it's fixing the brakes, repairing them, putting it all back together again, basically, so your energy system can can flow that being in flow and alignment and and all those things.
00:42:52.639 --> 00:43:01.199
So, um, and when you use it with a lot of people I work with, they they're really into like law of attraction and positive affirmations.
00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:06.960
I think a lot of the self-development and self-help stuff out there is kind of that way inclined.
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:17.760
Um, but what it doesn't account for is it actually for some people, especially highly sensitive people, um, that's just kind of putting a sticking plaster on it and pushing it away.
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:35.280
And I always say if you liken it to do a lot of inner child connection work, like with those visualizations, um, and if you think about how you um would interact with a toddler, if you just pacify it and just go, oh, you know, have a bar of chocolate, take your mind off of it, yeah, that will work in the moment.
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:37.920
But once the chocolate's gone, they're still going to want your attention.
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:43.840
Basically, they want your love, they want your security and safety and love and validation and all those things.
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:53.679
If you get down on their level um and talk to them and really validate them, validate the things, especially if they're hurt or upset, rather than just go, it's not that bad.
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:55.599
You go, that must be really tough.
00:43:55.760 --> 00:44:02.639
And actually start how we're educated to talk to children, but if you Do any kind of parenting class, they always tell you that kind of stuff.
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:08.559
But actually, if we just could parent ourselves a bit better and say, okay, well, part of me, this isn't me triggered.
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:15.199
This isn't, I'm not terrible and broken, but a part of me is really triggered and upset right now.
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:17.039
What is that part and why is it?
00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:26.480
And we can just be really validating and take the blame away, stop beating ourselves up, and then just get some clarity and then know what to tap on.
00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:31.920
And um, and and if you do the tapping, with the tapping, we always do the negatives first.
00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:34.159
And some people are like, shouldn't I be doing the positives?
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:45.440
It's like, no, we start with the negatives to get it out, and it's like if you've got a wound, you don't just shove a plaster on it, you flush it out, you wash it out, and then it might need stitches and dressing, and then you can put a plaster on it.
00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:53.360
Um, but if you don't do the first bits, which are sometimes more painful, but actually are needed so that can heal properly.
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:56.000
So um that's that's how I kind of explain that.
00:44:56.079 --> 00:44:57.199
Does that make sense?
00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:01.760
Yeah, yeah, I guess it's like it's like well, the wheel analogy is great.
00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:04.880
It's like
clearing out the negative energies.
00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:11.199
There's no point putting a plaster on top of a negative energy because all you do is push it down and it doesn't go away, does it?
00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:12.079
Well, yeah.
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:30.239
So it's almost like um I see it somehow in line with the chakras, like your energy is a bit blocked, and so things are either getting stuck and not moving, but it's really sort of bringing yourself back into releasing and then bringing yourself back into uh back into alignment.
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:31.519
Yeah, absolutely.
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:34.159
And then does the tapping, it follows.
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:38.960
I've never had acupuncture, well, I can't even say the word, I've never had acupuncture.
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:42.639
So does it follow the lines of tapping?
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:46.480
I mean, there's there's kind of like a recipe that most of us follow.
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:51.519
I don't do under the arm because I just find it a bit, you know, you can't you have to have the camera in the right place.
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:55.679
It's a if I'm treating clients in person, which I used to do, I hardly ever do anymore.
00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:57.760
I've got to lift keep lifting their arm up.
00:45:57.920 --> 00:45:59.760
So I don't I miss that point out.
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:07.280
But um, but I know the guy that um taught me, I was taught by a um husband and wife team, um, he just taps in random places.
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:13.760
Like he doesn't follow a he just goes intuitively where he feels he needs to, um, which is quite quite interesting.
00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:14.559
It's just a bit different.
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:17.760
Keeps you on your toes when you're working with him because you're like, where are we going next?
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:20.400
Um yeah, but it's good.
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:22.159
But um, should we should we give it a go?
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:23.119
Do you want to experience?
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:24.159
I'd love to.
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:25.119
I thought you'd never ask.
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:26.480
Give it a go.
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:27.840
Okay, cool.
00:46:28.079 --> 00:46:35.199
So um I'm gonna keep it quite what I never want to do, and this is why I don't have loads of free videos on YouTube and stuff.
00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:38.000
I never want to trigger someone and open something big up.
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:42.800
So I when I'm doing it in a group or I know people are gonna watch it and I'm not there, I keep it quite light.
00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:51.280
I always say if this does trigger anything, then always please um get in touch with me and we can have a session or it might just be a quick chat to make it okay.
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:55.599
Um, but I know you've done quite a lot of work, so this won't be this might not be massive for you.
00:46:55.679 --> 00:47:03.920
Um it'd be great if it was, but um, it's
I'm gonna just talk about money generally, um, and then we don't need to get into personal stuff either.
00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:13.679
Um, so if um if everyone that is doing this, listening, hopefully they can um they can do this if they're walking their dog at the time, it might be a bit difficult.
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:16.400
But come back to this part of the of the podcast.
00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:27.119
And um, and if you just want to close your eyes and put your hand on your heart and make sure your legs or your ankles or knees aren't crossed, ideally, if your feet are flat on the ground, that's brilliant.
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:34.719
Some people like to kick off their shoes and just take some nice deep breaths and just feel the mind slowing down.
00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:39.199
There's always loads of busyness and things flying around in our brains.
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:45.440
We might have been rushing around, so just able to let some oxygen in your lungs.
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:54.880
Obviously, I can't do it as much as I'd like because I'm talking, but just really take those nice deep breaths, and I always put my hand on my heart so I can just feel that connection into the heart space.
00:47:56.400 --> 00:48:11.599
And um and I'll do the visualization, but just before we do that, when we start tapping, you literally just I'll say the points as I'm as I'm doing them, but um, so anyone that's listening that can't see us, you can still um understand where the points are.
00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:18.079
But um yeah, just literally copy what I say, be my echo, and then and tap on the points.
00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:22.480
And you can tap with two or three fingers, you can use your left hand, right hand, it doesn't, it doesn't matter.
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:28.400
It's very hard to do it wrong, you're not going to do it wrong, and you'll never make things worse rather than better.
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:42.159
So, um, Karen and the listeners, what I want you to do is just imagine that um you're in a room and there is a pile of money in the room, and it might be in a corner.
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:44.079
For most people, it's in a corner.
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:53.039
Um, you might be really conscious about where the door is or where you're standing, and whatever your mind is painting a picture of is brilliant.
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:56.000
Um now most people can visualize.
00:48:56.159 --> 00:49:14.880
If anyone's listening that can't, I know occasionally there are people that can't do, can't have pictures in their heads, then um just think of a photograph of money and imagine like that you're you can open your eyes even or and you can actually put a pile of money um in front of you or bring it up on your screen or something and look at it.
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:20.559
And as you're looking at that pile of money, just notice how your body's feeling.
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:23.599
So, does it feel at all different?
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:26.000
Do you feel at all nervous?
00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:28.000
You might feel really excited.
00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:34.400
Um, for some people, it's like, oh, I don't even want to look at it, I just want to run out of the room.
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:36.880
Um, it doesn't feel safe to be here.
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:41.920
I feel I feel really, really nervous being here, feel a bit sick.
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:44.400
Um like money.
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:51.760
And if money could talk to you, what would it say?
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:54.559
What would it want to say to you?
00:49:55.440 --> 00:50:00.480
And for some people it might be, you know, it's okay, I'm fine, I'm just money.
00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:05.119
And you know, if that's the case, you're already healing just by doing this visualization.
00:50:05.519 --> 00:50:17.119
Um, but for others, it is like oh, it just it's got like this cartoon voice, and it looks evil, and it's just telling me that I'm not allowed to have it or I'm not good enough for it.
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:21.119
Um, I don't deserve all this money, I only deserve a bit of it.
00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.159
Those are the classic things that come up when I do this.
00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:28.639
So um, and Karen, do you mind me asking what's what's coming up for you?
00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:30.880
Yeah, no, that's fine.
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:32.559
Um, yeah, it's funny.
00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:48.239
I could see in a room, it was actually in the middle of the room on a table, but there was like the rest of the room was quite dark, and there was just a big spotlight, um spotlight over the money, so it was like illuminated.
00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:53.920
Um and I felt um when you were saying then what does how do you feel?
00:50:54.079 --> 00:50:55.599
I actually I felt really excited.
00:50:55.760 --> 00:51:01.920
I was just like, oh, like this is exciting, like the things that this can do, and da da da.
00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:16.000
Um but then when you said uh what is it, what is it telling you or what is it doing, it almost sort of like changed into a little thing, it's like, I'm here, come get me.
00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:18.159
You know, okay.
00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:18.719
Yeah.
00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:20.960
Um that's brilliant, that's really good.
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:21.599
Yeah.
00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:30.639
And so and so for you, and I will bring this in towards the end of the tapping, like we could go straight to the more positives um if we were working one-to-one.
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:46.880
Um, and that would probably get you in the space of like, oh my god, I've been procrastinating on that project, didn't realise why, just thought I was really busy, and you would literally go and do it, and you would, you know, it'd be out there and done in a couple of hours, say, and you've been maybe sitting on it for weeks.
00:51:47.039 --> 00:51:48.400
So that's that's really good.
00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:56.960
So you and that
shows you've already done a lot of you, you know, that's why you're interviewing me because you're really interested in this and you've done work on it already.
00:51:57.199 --> 00:51:59.199
Um, so it's it's brilliant.
00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:00.719
That's that's fantastic.
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:06.079
Um, but for other people listening, they might have more of a negative impact, like I was saying.
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:16.559
Um, so we'll we'll do a little bit on the on the negatives, and then we'll basically just gently turn it into the positives and then get that and get you really let's go kind of thing.
00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:16.800
Yeah.
00:52:17.039 --> 00:52:18.480
Does that sound okay?
00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:28.239
That sounds fine because the thing that's coming up for me now, as I see that, it's almost like you know, people um talk about leaving money on the table.
00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:43.280
And actually, the thing that comes up for me then is while I'm really excited buying things, it it it's kind of making me think, I'm leaving, I'm not um, yeah, I'm leaving money on the table.
00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:43.760
Yeah.
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:50.000
That's what's coming up for me now when I think about it, and I hadn't yeah, I hadn't thought about it in that way, actually.
00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:51.039
That's interesting.
00:52:51.280 --> 00:52:54.960
Yeah, and that's um, yeah, that is really interesting.
00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:59.440
And um, and you've just made me think as well, I'm kind of like that with my book.
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:03.599
I just need to get it finished and out there, you know, it's just that last bit.
00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:06.000
So um maybe I'll go and finish it this weekend.
00:53:06.079 --> 00:53:06.400
Who knows?
00:53:06.559 --> 00:53:07.119
There we go.
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:08.239
Thank you.
00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:10.480
Double bonus.
00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:12.079
Um, okay, cool.
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:15.760
So we're gonna start um tapping on the side of the hand.
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:22.000
So this is what we call the setup, and um and just repeat, and you can tap left or right hand, doesn't matter.
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:30.719
So it's two or three fingers tapping on what we call the karate chock point, which is literally the side of a of your hand that would you would do a karate chock point with.
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:32.960
Um karate chop with, even.
00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:37.920
Um so and we start by saying, even though, so you just repeat after me.
00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:41.599
Even though there's all this money there.
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:43.760
There's all this money there.
00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:48.000
And even though part of me is excited.
00:53:48.480 --> 00:53:54.719
And even though part of me is excited, part of me might be a little bit scared.
00:53:55.119 --> 00:53:57.360
Part of me might be a little bit scared.
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:01.360
And I'm realising that I'm leaving money
on the table.
00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:05.119
And I'm realising that I'm leaving money on the table.
00:54:05.840 --> 00:54:10.400
And obviously for people listening at home, you can tweak these words so they're more specific to you.
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:15.920
Um and um but so other people at home can can do that now.
00:54:16.320 --> 00:54:24.800
Um and even though I'd like not to leave money on the table.
00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:28.559
I'd like I'd like not to leave money on the table.
00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:32.320
I totally honour and accept myself anyway.
00:54:33.039 --> 00:54:36.559
I totally honour and accept myself and I.
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:38.079
Anyway.
00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:39.760
Anyway, yeah, anyway.
00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:40.719
Perfect.
00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:45.920
Okay, so tapping on the point, so we start on the eyebrow point, literally where your eyebrow begins.
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:48.400
Um, all this money.
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:51.519
All this money outside of the eye.
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:55.599
All this money staring at me or in front of the eye.
00:54:55.840 --> 00:54:59.760
All this money staring at me under the eye.
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:03.280
A part of me feels really excited.
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:06.239
A part of me feels really excited.
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:08.000
Under the nose.
00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:11.360
But maybe a part of me is really scared.
00:55:11.920 --> 00:55:14.480
But maybe a part of me is really scared.
00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:17.039
On the um on the chin.
00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:23.280
Maybe a part of me is a bit resistant to having this money.
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:29.599
Maybe a part of me is a bit resistant to having this money on the collarbone.
00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:32.719
Maybe I'm feeling really resistant right now.
00:55:33.360 --> 00:55:36.880
Maybe I'm feeling really resistant right now.
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:38.880
And also, Karen, don't worry.
00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:42.320
If you're not feeling that, you're gonna not gonna make yourself feel like that by doing this.
00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:43.760
So don't worry about that.
00:55:44.239 --> 00:55:49.280
Um, on the top of the head, all this money right in front of me.
00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:52.480
All this money right in front of me.
00:55:53.119 --> 00:55:54.400
On the eyebrow.
00:55:55.360 --> 00:55:58.800
It's right there, but sometimes it feels so far away.
00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:03.119
It's right there, but sometimes it feels so far away.
00:56:03.840 --> 00:56:05.280
Outside of the eye.
00:56:05.679 --> 00:56:10.239
Sometimes it feels like I have to work really hard for money.
00:56:11.119 --> 00:56:14.880
Sometimes it feels like I have to work really hard for money.
00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:16.559
Under the eye.
00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:21.119
And I think people are gonna judge me for earning money.
00:56:21.440 --> 00:56:24.719
And I think people are gonna judge me for earning money.
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:26.559
Under the nose.
00:56:26.880 --> 00:56:29.440
Especially if I earn more than them.
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:33.039
Especially if I earn more than them.
00:56:33.840 --> 00:56:34.800
On the chin.
00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:38.639
Especially if I earn more than all of my family members.
00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:42.719
Especially if I earn more than my family members.
00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:44.480
On the collarbone.
00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:49.280
I don't want to upset anyone or feel like I'm being disloyal.
00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:53.360
I don't want to upset anyone or feel like I'm being disloyal.
00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:55.119
Top of the head.
00:56:56.000 --> 00:56:59.039
And I totally honour all of these feelings.

And I totally honour all of these feelings.
00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:03.840
On the eyebrow.
00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:07.119
I honour this fear and anxiety around money.
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:11.519
I honour this fear and anxiety around money.
00:57:11.920 --> 00:57:13.519
Outside of the eye.
00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:17.360
I honour all my programming around money.
00:57:18.000 --> 00:57:21.519
I honour all of my programming around money.
00:57:22.079 --> 00:57:23.039
Under the eye.
00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:26.719
I honour the times I found money really difficult.
00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:30.800
I honour the times I found money really difficult.
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:32.480
Under the nose.
00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:36.719
And I honour the times I've had a great relationship with money.
00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:41.199
And I honour the times I've had a great great relationship with money.
00:57:41.599 --> 00:57:42.480
On the chin.
00:57:42.719 --> 00:57:45.519
It's safe to have a great relationship with money.
00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:49.199
It's safe to have a great relationship with money.
00:57:49.679 --> 00:57:50.960
On the collarbone.
00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:53.360
Money can be my friend.
00:57:54.159 --> 00:57:55.760
Money can be my friend.
00:57:56.480 --> 00:57:57.440
Top of the head.
00:57:57.840 --> 00:58:03.360
Money can make me uh money can help me to do some really good things.

Money can help me to do some really good things.
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:08.320
On the eyebrow.

To make more of an impact on other people's lives.
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:16.880
Outside of the eye.
00:58:16.960 --> 00:58:19.280
And I deserve to earn money for doing that.
00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:22.239
And I deserve to earn money for doing that.
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:23.679
Under the eye.
00:58:24.320 --> 00:58:26.000
It's safe to earn money.
00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:28.400
It's safe to earn money.
00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:30.880
Under the nose.
00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:36.239
I'm open to feeling completely at ease around money.
00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:40.960
Open to feeling completely at ease around money.
00:58:41.440 -->
00:58:42.320
On the chin.
00:58:42.719 --> 00:58:44.559
I'm safe and I'm okay.
00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:46.960
I'm safe and I'm okay.
00:58:47.519 --> 00:58:48.719
On the collarbone.
00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:55.119
I'm open to appreciating what money can do for me and others.
00:58:56.000 --> 00:59:00.719
I'm open to appreciating what money can do for me and others.
00:59:03.199 --> 00:59:06.239
It's safe to have a great relationship with money.
00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:10.000
It's safe to have a great relationship with money.
00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:10.719
Okay.
00:59:11.039 --> 00:59:13.360
Put your hand on your heart, take a nice deep breath.
00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:23.519
Some people may want to have a stretch or move their shoulders around, really notice if there is any tension or anything.
00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:28.400
You might want to do some more tapping and say this this tension in my shoulders, if it's still there.
00:59:28.559 --> 00:59:36.000
You might want to repeat what we've just done again, if there's still some some sort of anxiety and strange feelings around money.
00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:45.519
But um, can I ask you, Karen, to just put your hand on your heart and close your eyes again and just go back to that picture and tell me how it's changed.
00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:59.840
Actually, and when I think back to it, the initial um excitement was also not necessarily around oh, what can I do with money?
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.679
What can um what can I buy with that?
01:00:03.920 --> 01:00:07.039
It was around like what can I do with this?
01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:10.400
And I think that's more prevalent now.
01:00:11.599 --> 01:00:22.320
It's not just about um me, but it's funny because when we first started, I could feel like I felt a bit sort of sicky in my in my stomach.
01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:29.679
And now, excuse me, but I'm burping because it feels like there's that sort of yeah, yeah, like a release somehow.
01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:30.880
I don't feel that.
01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:34.559
Um I don't feel that now.
01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:35.519
That's amazing.
01:00:36.239 --> 01:00:37.679
Yeah, that's really strange.
01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:47.440
Oh, I'm so glad you shared that because I should have said, um, like burping is really common, or just like needing to clear your throat, especially if it's around not speaking your truth.
01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:50.000
Um, like your stomach might start rumbling.
01:00:50.159 --> 01:00:57.360
People often yawn a lot, and obviously yawning is a bit impolite, so it's like oh god, yawn away, you do not have to stifle a yawn with me.
01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:03.119
It's like if I if I've got clients yawning in front of me, I know they're releasing, and it's like really, really cool.
01:01:03.280 --> 01:01:06.400
And they're like, Wow, I don't have to stifle a yawn, that's brilliant.
01:01:06.639 --> 01:01:10.079
Um, I I spent a lifetime stifling yawns at my work.
01:01:10.159 --> 01:01:12.400
I used to fall asleep in meetings, they were so dull.
01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:15.920
Not my work now, when I was in corporate.
01:01:16.159 --> 01:01:23.679
Um, so yeah, it's um, you know, that little exercise, you know, it's it's a decent difference, isn't it?
01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:24.800
So yeah, yeah.
01:01:24.960 --> 01:01:30.239
And also the light had turned up the the spotlight, it it felt like a spotlight on the knee.
01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:34.960
And now when I looked at it then, the the room was warm.
01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:40.800
It wasn't stark, bright light, but the room, the whole room was warm as in warmers light.
01:01:41.039 --> 01:01:41.599
Yeah, yeah.
01:01:41.679 --> 01:01:42.880
I thought you were gonna say that.
01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:45.360
That's because that is yeah, quite typical.
01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:45.760
Yeah.
01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:46.079
Yeah.
01:01:46.239 --> 01:01:53.840
And then what what we can say is like take a picture of that and imagine you're filing it into your brain, like your little brain opening a filing cabinet.
01:01:54.000 --> 01:02:01.679
Into the filing cabinet, and um, or saving it as a computer file if you're younger than us and don't remember actual filing cabinets.
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:11.360
Um, and um, and by doing that, you're literally making new neuropathways in your brain to say that money is safe, basically.
01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:16.079
It's safe for me to do that and like remembering that rather than the bad stuff.
01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:18.000
So, yeah, that's how it all works.
01:02:18.159 --> 01:02:18.880
Yeah, that's funny.
01:02:18.960 --> 01:02:27.039
It's making me think actually about um the package that I'm working on, and I have been procrastinating a bit.
01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:34.880
I mean, there's been a lot of life lifing, but um I have been procrastinating on that, and I think um yeah, I just need to get it finished.
01:02:35.039 --> 01:02:36.480
Yeah, yeah, get it out of there.
01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:39.440
Oh, that's amazing, Liz.
01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:39.920
Thank you.
01:02:40.559 --> 01:02:42.559
So, should I would I do that again?
01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:51.119
Um, or like as in do this five times over the next week or whatever, or it's just as you feel it, or something like that.
01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:52.639
What's the follow-up you do?
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:57.039
If you've if you've been, I mean, if we were working together, we'd obviously have more sessions.
01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:02.960
So, um, and you can have a massive breakthrough, but then that leaves the space for the next thing to come up.
01:03:03.119 --> 01:03:09.599
Um, you know, but but equally, just what we've done, you could listen to it again, just listen to the pod your own podcast again.
01:03:09.760 --> 01:03:12.079
Um, or it's good for ratings.
01:03:12.320 --> 01:03:13.760
Yeah, absolutely.
01:03:14.960 --> 01:03:27.519
And um and then maybe just think, okay, um, and and I wouldn't
always advise other people to do this, but I know um, because I know you anyway, I know you'd be safe doing this, but you could have a think about okay, how do I feel about money?
01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:36.159
How do I feel about what what fe what feelings am I aware of in my body when I think about raising my prices or pricing my new program?
01:03:36.639 --> 01:03:44.719
Like if I um like a lot of coaches would just go, well, triple your prices, and and I used to say that too, but actually it's I think it's a bit different, you know.
01:03:44.800 --> 01:03:50.719
We can't always, I won't get into it a lot, but I think the market's changed slightly, so that's not always appropriate.
01:03:50.880 --> 01:03:56.639
But it's like, okay, if that's what I'd love to be earning, then um, you know, how do I feel?
01:03:56.800 --> 01:04:00.000
Do I actually feel aligned to that or is there fear there?
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:10.719
And then you can tap it when I look at that figure or when I think about charging that to clients, I feel nervous, I feel a flutter in my stomach, butterflies, or my chest feels tight, whatever it might be.
01:04:10.880 --> 01:04:15.760
And then once you get rid of those feelings, you can feel aligned with that price, you can go and charge it.
01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:17.840
Um, and and experiment, okay.
01:04:17.920 --> 01:04:21.360
Well, it feels that feels too much of a stretch, but that feels okay.
01:04:21.519 --> 01:04:24.559
And actually, I know that's too low, and I was gonna charge it at that.
01:04:24.719 --> 01:04:27.119
So maybe I don't straight up there yet.
01:04:27.199 --> 01:04:38.320
Maybe I go in the middle or push it a bit the middle a bit further up, but I know once I've got three clients on that price, I can then go up again and just keep on doing the work around it.
01:04:38.719 --> 01:04:39.199
Yeah.
01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:41.440
Oh gosh, that's so interesting.
01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:44.639
Like I yeah, I think I need to go back and have a little think about that.
01:04:44.800 --> 01:04:47.840
Um, and now what that uh you know, what that looks like.
01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:50.079
Yeah, that's incredible.
01:04:50.719 --> 01:05:04.880
And do you find then from the beginning session to if you were say like you were doing 12, then there's really quite a big, I mean, you gave the example anyways at the beginning of the guy that you were working with who completely changed his his model of what he was doing.
01:05:05.119 --> 01:05:06.159
Yeah, absolutely.
01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:07.519
It was massive for him.
01:05:07.679 --> 01:05:15.679
We only did three sessions, um, and the other sessions were, you know, they were significant, but that was the key, that was the real like point.
01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:18.960
Um, so um what was the question?
01:05:19.039 --> 01:05:20.559
Sorry, I've forgotten what you asked.
01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:22.400
What just that then?
01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:23.840
Like, do you see such a big thing?
01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:24.880
Oh, yeah, sorry, sorry.
01:05:25.599 --> 01:05:27.039
Yes, yes, yeah, I do.
01:05:27.199 --> 01:05:28.800
And and this is why I love doing what I do.
01:05:28.880 --> 01:05:30.880
So I used to do business coaching.
01:05:31.039 --> 01:05:43.360
Um, and when I started doing the business coach, only because I was networking, and people get asking me because I've kind of my HR background-ish, and I was actually building quite a successful online business.
01:05:43.440 --> 01:05:52.159
So the people that I was networking with in person hadn't like this was a long time ago now, 15 years ago, when people weren't really doing stuff online.
01:05:52.639 --> 01:05:55.199
And um, and so I was doing business coaching.
01:05:55.280 --> 01:05:59.599
Then what I ended up finding was my business coaching clients that were just doing business.
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:09.760
Coaching compared to the ones that I was doing this money mindset with, the differences in their successes was huge, and they were getting exactly the same business advice.
01:06:09.920 --> 01:06:18.559
But the ones that were doing the tapping and the money mindset work were just like 10xing their results.
01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:23.360
So, um, so and and that one of the reasons I love money mindset, you can measure it.
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:32.719
You can like, well, you don't just feel better about money, but you have increased your prices, or you now find it much easier to sell and you're getting more clients.
01:06:32.880 --> 01:06:36.400
And it or it might just be, you know, I don't just work with entrepreneurs.
01:06:36.480 --> 01:06:41.119
It might be, you know, you're not feeling bitter and twisted about your divorce because actually you did really badly out of it.
01:06:41.280 --> 01:06:44.320
You've let that go now and you can focus on moving forwards.
01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:58.239
It might be, you know, you've sorted out all your like bad relationship with money, so now you can put in place a will, insurances, you're gonna get that power of attorney that you've been putting off for two years or that you didn't even have space to think about.
01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:02.639
So I'm not a financial advisor at all, but I know the basics of what everyone should have in place.
01:07:02.800 --> 01:07:06.079
And I can say, right, that that's your next step to go and get go and get that done.
01:07:06.239 --> 01:07:09.039
Go and do a budget because now actually it's not gonna make you feel sick.
01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:15.280
You can actually look at the numbers without feeling awful and like you're failing and you know, being really crap.
01:07:15.519 --> 01:07:21.280
You can actually look at your budget or what you're spending, where you're spending your money, um, which is a great exercise.
01:07:21.360 --> 01:07:27.679
And I'm not like, oh, stop spending five pounds a day on coffees if that's really makes you happy, carry on spending it.
01:07:27.920
--> 01:07:33.280
But um, actually, you know, that bottle of wine you're buying three times a week from Tesco's, do you need it?
01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:41.280
Um because actually that's costing you this much money over a year, and you're telling me you want to save money, and also that's going to make you so much more healthy.
01:07:41.440 --> 01:07:45.920
And yeah, I'm not teetotal, I do buy wine from Tesco's and other stores.
01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:48.559
Um, but um other stores available.
01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:49.519
Yes, exactly.
01:07:49.679 --> 01:07:59.199
But you know, it's just like by doing that exercise myself, I realised we were spending about 1200 quid a year on after school snacks for the kids and literally the odd bottle of wine from Tesco's.
01:07:59.280 --> 01:08:01.280
And I'm like, quite a lot of money.
01:08:01.440 --> 01:08:03.039
Um, this was quite a few years ago as well.
01:08:03.199 --> 01:08:09.360
And I'm like, and also spending that that's a hell if I imagine how much chocolate that must be that I'm giving my children.
01:08:09.599 --> 01:08:10.719
Like, what am I doing?
01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:21.359
Um, so poor kids, they did start having like crudettees when I picked them up in little boxes and stuff, but um weren't very long to be fair.
01:08:21.520 --> 01:08:29.279
But um, but you know, it's stuff like that, and it's not always, you know, it's not always massively measurable, like with the entrepreneurs.
01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:31.760
Oh, I've tripled my prices and I'm getting loads more clients.
01:08:31.840 --> 01:09:01.359
It could be those little changes that actually over time make a big difference, or like, oh, I can talk to my husband now about money, and I totally get where he's coming from now because we've been able to have this conversation, and now I know where our money is, I know when we're gonna pay off our mortgage, I know what our financial freedom number is, which I won't go into, but it's a calculation that you you understand how much you need for retirement, and I know that he has got a pension that's worth this, and I've realized that actually we're gonna set one up for me as well.
01:09:01.520 --> 01:09:12.319
Um, with with um a few clients, I had so I always tell them go basically go through if you've got an old CV, go through your old CV and contact all your old employers and ask them if you've got a pension with them.
01:09:12.479 --> 01:09:15.039
You can do it online as well, there's a pension tracking service.
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:19.119
But I had a client um find out that she had a pension that was worth 15 grand.
01:09:19.439 --> 01:09:24.720
I had one that found out she had a pension that was worth 40,000 pounds and she didn't know about it.
01:09:24.880 --> 01:09:29.760
And they never come knocking on your door saying, Oh, excuse me, because you've usually moved, they got no way of accepting it.
01:09:30.399 --> 01:09:33.920
They don't come knocking on your door and saying, Oh, we've
got your money, would you like it, please?
01:09:34.239 --> 01:09:38.560
Um, you know, we have to be proactive, and that's life-changing for that person.
01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:39.840
100%.
01:09:40.159 --> 01:09:43.279
I mean, finding 40 grand underneath the sofa kind of thing.
01:09:43.359 --> 01:09:45.920
Like that's uh that's quite nice, yeah, yeah.
01:09:46.239 --> 01:10:13.279
Yeah, and I guess also in that way, um, all of these things, what it does really is it gives you control back, and when you feel like you are in control, it makes you feel powerful because you understand and you know, and from that position, the conversations that you can have because you are clear, you're in clarity, you know what things are, you can advocate for yourself much better.
01:10:13.520 --> 01:10:24.239
Um, you know, whether you're in in bliss or in um yeah, in turmoil, divorce and health.
01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:30.239
Either way, within that, you you can advocate for yourself more because you just you know exactly where you stand.
01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:39.760
Because I think sometimes it's like all of that unknowing, all of that uncertainty, that's a really tricky um that's the situation where you feel disempowered.
01:10:39.840 --> 01:10:44.239
Yeah, yeah, there's no respect, you don't feel seen, even if you are in bliss.
01:10:44.640 --> 01:10:46.399
There's there's parts around that, right?
01:10:46.479 --> 01:10:49.119
So yeah, gosh, honestly, Liz.
01:10:49.199 --> 01:10:51.359
I feel like I could I think we need part two.
01:10:51.439 --> 01:10:55.439
I feel like we could uh go on for days and days and days.
01:10:55.760 --> 01:11:02.560
Yeah, it's just so interesting, and I think it's like you said at the top, it's just things that we don't talk about.
01:11:02.720 --> 01:11:19.199
We don't talk about finances, and it's so much to even in bliss, it's so much to our detriment that we don't know where we're where we're heading to, and yeah, you know what life down the line really sort of like looks like for us right now, completely.
01:11:19.359 --> 01:11:26.479
And you know, a lot of what I do with the tapping, the visualization, you can say it's quite woo-woo, but then there's such a practical element to it as well.
01:11:26.720 --> 01:11:37.680
And in order to make that practical element easy and doable um and get it done is by doing the softer stuff and exploring your feelings and all that kind of stuff.
01:11:37.760 --> 01:11:48.720
So we've got the healing element, but then I always say inform, empower, and go into action, get get the shit done because it's such a great feeling when you know you're sorted.
01:11:48.960 --> 01:12:11.439
I mean, I even though my income was um obviously my financial situation is vastly different from when I was married, um, it's it's actually I feel because I feel informed and in control and empowered, I feel so much more comfortable because I haven't got all these question marks buzzing around, floating around like they're always there and never quite answered.
01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:14.560
I'm like, I don't understand how we're ever gonna pay the mortgage off.
01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:17.199
Please make please make that make sense.
01:12:17.439 --> 01:12:20.479
And we wouldn't have done because he was just completely bullshitting.
01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:27.199
But um, I know exactly when I'm well, not exactly, I'll have to check my spreadsheet, but I know more or less when I'm gonna pay my mortgage off.
01:12:27.439 --> 01:12:31.359
And I know about um ICERs using up my ICER allowance now.
01:12:31.520 --> 01:12:35.439
I've got a private pension, I'm saving money for my kids.
01:12:35.680 --> 01:12:43.039
Um, and he's the flipping millionaire that's earning£230,000 a year, and he's got none of that in place.
01:12:43.199 --> 01:12:46.159
So you know that's the thing, isn't it?
01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:47.439
Everything's relative, you know.
01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:52.000
You could it's how you how you organise and how you strategize, isn't it?
01:12:52.079 --> 01:13:04.159
You can have loads of money, uh like you can earn loads of money, but if you're earning that and you're spending that and you're not actually putting anything else aside, yeah, then you're not gonna be earning that forever, are you?
01:13:04.319 --> 01:13:09.520
Like at one point you are gonna want to retire, and then it's like, oh shit, what do I do now?
01:13:09.680 --> 01:13:10.560
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:13:10.800 --> 01:13:19.600
And although, you know, yes, my financial situation could be better than it is, I'm I'm I'm in control of it and I know what I've got to do to to continue to improve it.
01:13:19.760 --> 01:13:25.920
And I know also that because of this, I can now teach my kids really good financial, financial sense.
01:13:26.159 --> 01:13:27.119
I'm a bit of a bore.
01:13:27.199 --> 01:13:30.319
Like, right, let's set down and set up a pension for you both.
01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:31.840
They're just like, What?
01:13:32.239 --> 01:13:32.640
What?
01:13:33.439 --> 01:13:34.000
School mom.
01:13:34.479 --> 01:13:36.560
I know, but I'm like, no, I'm doing it now for them.
01:13:36.640 --> 01:13:37.920
I'm literally that's on our list.
01:13:38.000 --> 01:13:40.800
Um, we'll do it before Christmas, hopefully.
01:13:40.960 --> 01:13:50.479
Um, like I'm gonna set them up a pension I want them to realise because I think, especially like if you've got kids, I think there's a real pressure to be like, oh, I've got to save for their university fees and everything.
01:13:50.640 --> 01:13:54.239
Yes, ideally that would be great, but how are they ever gonna buy a house?
01:13:54.479 --> 01:13:56.640
Like, yeah, you know, all those kinds of things.
01:13:56.720 --> 01:14:09.439
I think any child now that is not educated about investing, um like actually in like stocks and shares and stuff, and and growing their money, even if it's just a tiny percentage.
01:14:09.520 --> 01:14:16.399
So I
always say, guys, if you save 10% of everything you ever earn, you'll be a millionaire by the time you're my age.
01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:17.680
You can't not be.
01:14:17.920 --> 01:14:21.600
Like it's the the sums are the proof, it actually works.
01:14:21.920 --> 01:14:23.439
And I didn't do that.
01:14:23.600 --> 01:14:25.439
No one told me to, so I didn't do it.
01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:26.239
Yeah.
01:14:26.640 --> 01:14:36.479
I guess that's the thing actually, when you think about it now as well, for kids going into you know, I had pocket money, I had physical money in my hands.
01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:45.520
So if I spend my£10 or whatever it was, then I had nothing left, but I could physically see, have nothing left.
01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:49.600
Whereas now it's almost like how do kids even know about money?
01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:53.279
Because everything's on your phone, it's on a card, it's on a something.
01:14:53.359 --> 01:14:55.279
So like you don't physically see it.
01:14:55.359 --> 01:14:57.680
Yeah, it's like where does where does it even come from?
01:14:57.840 --> 01:14:58.960
Does it grow on trees?
01:14:59.039 --> 01:15:00.960
Because like, you know, that's what I thought when I was a kid.
01:15:01.039 --> 01:15:07.520
It's like we're gonna go into this pound, it's gonna grow into a pound tree, we're just gonna like we're gonna grow, we're gonna be millionaires.
01:15:08.239 --> 01:15:12.960
Um but and I guess in this like now, yeah, like does it come from the ether?
01:15:13.279 --> 01:15:14.880
Like, what's going on?
01:15:15.279 --> 01:15:16.640
It's really funny actually.
01:15:16.800 --> 01:15:22.239
So um I had I looked after my friend's dog in the in the summer holidays, and I and she gave me some cash.
01:15:22.319 --> 01:15:27.840
So I had all this cash, but it didn't feel like real money because I'm so used to it was almost the opposite of what you say.
01:15:27.920 --> 01:15:33.840
I'm so used to using my card, it was like it it didn't have a value, and I was just oh yeah, I'll buy it.
01:15:34.000 --> 01:15:35.600
Let me pay, let's let's go out for dinner.
01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:44.960
I've got all this cash, and like and it was really it was so interesting because I thought this is gonna be really good for the kids to see cash, and they do see cash, but not loads.
01:15:45.119 --> 01:15:52.399
Um, but it was almost the opposite, and I'm like, wow, we're already so indoctrinated in plastic and our phones to pay for things.
01:15:52.720 --> 01:15:53.680
Cash was it.
01:15:53.840 --> 01:16:03.680
I was just so surprised, it was it was a real shockingly weird thing because it didn't feel real, and I'm like, that's me at 47 who's been brought up around cash.
01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:05.840
So you know, but it's really interesting.
01:16:06.000 --> 01:16:09.520
Um yeah, that is it's strange that it's almost like it's the refaire.
01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:12.479
Yeah, it's like this isn't real, it's like monopoly money.
01:16:12.640 --> 01:16:16.159
Yeah, just like yeah, it was that's what it was, and then it's gone.
01:16:16.479 --> 01:16:19.520
And you're like, shit, I've actually got to feed this dog.
01:16:22.640 --> 01:16:24.399
So interesting.
01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:28.960
Yes, it's super interesting, but oh my gosh, thank you so so much.
01:16:29.119 --> 01:16:36.000
There's um I have learned so much um from this conversation, and I hope that listeners do too.
01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:49.279
So um I will take all of your details and then if um anybody wants to contact you about EST tapping, your um family flow, which is I guess it's focusing more on divorce, isn't it?
01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:53.119
And helping women through um through that time.
01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:59.039
Um I'll get your details and add them in the um in the show notes.
01:16:59.439 --> 01:17:00.319
Thanks so much, Liz.
01:17:00.560 --> 01:17:01.600
Yes, right, exactly.
01:17:02.000 --> 01:17:03.359
We both know exactly what it's like.
01:17:03.520 --> 01:17:08.239
Yeah, I mean, just just to let people know, if they want to look me up or anything, website's probably the best.
01:17:08.399 --> 01:17:17.199
The eftcoach.com is anything that's not divorce related, and then familyflow.co.uk is for all the divorce related stuff.
01:17:17.439 --> 01:17:18.720
Yeah, thank you.
01:17:19.119 --> 01:17:19.840
Oh, brilliant.
01:17:19.920 --> 01:17:20.720
Thanks so much, Liz.
01:17:20.880 --> 01:17:22.880
It's been an absolute pleasure.
01:17:23.680 --> 01:17:31.279
Well, I hope that you all enjoyed that as much as I loved chatting to Liz.
01:17:31.920 --> 01:17:39.119
It was so interesting when I was editing the episode and listening back to us talking about money.
01:17:39.359 --> 01:17:44.239
At first I got really this iffy feeling and it just felt really quick.
01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:48.640
Like, is this what we want to be talking about?
01:17:48.960 --> 01:17:49.600
Money.
01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:58.720
And it's so yeah, it just made me think, wow, it really is such a big topic that we generally seem to avoid.
01:17:58.880 --> 01:18:14.880
Finances, we all have them, we all work with them, but we really don't often talk about them, whether that's uh to our friends, to our family, to our partners at work, and more often than not, within we tend to downplay our successes.
01:18:15.039 --> 01:18:27.520
And it was really interesting hearing Liz talk about how she had kind of given herself asked about what she could add based on what her dad today.
01:18:28.399 --> 01:18:40.479
And it just made me think that there are so many stories that we do compiling into what I like to call the filing code.
01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:42.800
We just operate.
01:18:43.439 --> 01:18:48.960
We just collect stories subconsciously also, like we just do it all the time.
01:18:49.119 --> 01:19:00.159
We don't we don't realize it, we don't know that we're storing these things, and our brain is making decisions for us based on old information.
01:19:00.880 --> 01:19:12.640
We don't go back, we're not looking at the delete of these files and really crappy stories that we've been telling ourselves either constantly or subconsciously for so long.
01:19:12.800 --> 01:19:14.079
We've just forgotten about it.
01:19:14.239 --> 01:19:18.159
So it's very interesting how it's really related.
01:19:18.800 --> 01:19:30.319
And a lot of that comes back to the focus of listening work, women taking time out to have and then care for children, going back into the whitelist, part-time hours maybe.
01:19:30.720 --> 01:19:38.239
It all adds up to the pay gap increasing, and we don't think about our long term when we're in love and everything's great.
01:19:38.399 --> 01:19:44.239
It's only in times of crisis that we start to think about that long term and what it looks like for us.
01:19:44.479 --> 01:19:50.880
It's really given a lot of good thought on this topic, and I've put little details in the show notes for anyone.
01:19:51.199 --> 01:19:52.399
Join me next week.
01:19:52.479 --> 01:19:56.159
I'll be trying to feel a fairy about blowing up her lights.
01:19:56.399 --> 01:20:00.880
Her, not me, and starting again in the lovely Lake District.
01:20:01.119 --> 01:20:02.720
So see you next week.
01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:03.279
Ciao!
