Speaker 1: seat of your own life and stop letting life cast
Speaker 1: you by, then you're in the right place. Hello everybody,
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, and welcome back to the potty. Today we
Speaker 1: have a very fun hotline for you, and we are
Speaker 1: chatting about money. We had a question shared in the
Speaker 1: Facebook group from a listener who's struggling with abundance. She's
Speaker 1: currently earning ninety five K and she feels like it's
Speaker 1: not enough, especially when she compares it with what she
Speaker 1: sees on some influencers Instagram pages and what they earn.
Speaker 1: So we unpack this. We're a little bit brutal. So brutal,
Speaker 1: but brutal with love, you know, that's how we roll.
Speaker 1: So strap in we come from all angles to So yeah,
Speaker 1: a bit of an interesting episode. But before we get
Speaker 1: into that, guys, we officially launched our brand new course,
Speaker 1: Find Your Voice, yesterday. So basically, this is a step
Speaker 1: by step guide course that shows you how to start
Speaker 1: and scale a podcast. So we get questions all the
Speaker 1: time on how to start a podcast, how to prepare episodes,
Speaker 1: all the things you know, if you're a small business,
Speaker 1: if you have a personal brand, or even if you
Speaker 1: just want to do it for a bit of fun.
Speaker 1: We totally have your back. And for me, starting the
Speaker 1: podcast was one of the best things I ever did.
Speaker 1: And oh, I'm just I'm so grateful that I did.
Speaker 2: That, especially because you know, thank you, especially because you know,
Speaker 2: four years ago, like it wasn't a usual thing.
Speaker 1: And that's also another thing is like people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: but isn't it saturated and I don't believe in saturation
Speaker 1: because I believe if like authentic to yourself, if you
Speaker 1: have a purpose and a mission and what you're creating, like,
Speaker 1: you can absolutely still use a podcast scale of podcast
Speaker 1: and it can be the best thing you ever do.
Speaker 3: I one hundred percent agree because even if you look
Speaker 3: at things like Instagram and TikTok, for example, you could
Speaker 3: have said in like twenty eighteen, isn't it saturated? But
Speaker 3: think about the amount of people that have like blown
Speaker 3: up since then. Yes, and yeah, just don't limit yourself.
Speaker 1: It's a limiting belief.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially because you know, a podcast can be
Speaker 2: something you literally just do for yourself as entertainment, or
Speaker 2: even something as like maybe you want to get better
Speaker 2: at public speaking, maybe you want to face that fear.
Speaker 1: It can be like a very personal thing, or maybe
Speaker 1: it's because you're craving a community. I actually have two
Speaker 1: best friends that started a podcast all about the difficulties
Speaker 1: with trying to conceive because they, you know, and this
Speaker 1: is the time when I was trying to conceive also,
Speaker 1: and we're all going through this thing and it was
Speaker 1: really isolating, and so they wanted to start a podcast.
Speaker 1: They're like, I you know, I want to first of
Speaker 1: all speak about how I'm currently feeling, because you know
Speaker 1: that will help others, but also bring people into my
Speaker 1: world where we're going through this and support each other.
Speaker 1: And they brought together such an amazing community that really
Speaker 1: like helped them through that time and it was just
Speaker 1: so powerful. And then of course you can use a
Speaker 1: podcast to scale your business, like you know, if you
Speaker 1: think about the podcast in RNC a tear, we obviously
Speaker 1: use it to talk about our courses, which is a
Speaker 1: revenue avenue. We obviously chat about Naked Harvest, We chat
Speaker 1: about all the things. I just truly believe it's such
Speaker 1: an amazing channel to first of all put out long
Speaker 1: form education and content that you know, people can listen
Speaker 1: to on their drive or as they're getting ready for work,
Speaker 1: and it's just so powerful, and it can just be
Speaker 1: such an amazing supporting channel for your you know, small
Speaker 1: business or and anything like that. So clearly I'm a
Speaker 1: big podcast. So oh my god, we're so excited. That
Speaker 1: is going to be available to purchase next Tuesday, and
Speaker 1: we do have like an early bird price for that.
Speaker 1: So if you if that sounds like something you want
Speaker 1: to do, you just want to have a bit more
Speaker 1: education around how to start and scale a podcast that
Speaker 1: is going to be all available next Tuesday, obviously just
Speaker 1: for us on Instagram for all that week update. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, Tia, we had I'll worry both of it.
Speaker 2: Christ I honestly didn't expect how emotional this one was.
Speaker 4: Neither.
Speaker 3: I cried.
Speaker 1: I cried, toue. I cried actually the morning before I
Speaker 1: got to the event, because I went for a walk
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to, like, you know, come up
Speaker 1: with my intro speech and just really fill into it.
Speaker 1: And I was like watching the sunrise with my coffee
Speaker 1: cry just because of the thought of, like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is such a course that came from such obviously
Speaker 1: a passion project from me again craving a community of
Speaker 1: like minded moms, and just the testimonials and the people
Speaker 1: we met and the stories we heard, like full body
Speaker 1: shivers completely.
Speaker 3: I think I had like you spoke and I cried
Speaker 3: and Nikola did hit the breath work and I cried,
Speaker 3: and I heard what other people were saying in the
Speaker 3: journaling session, and I got so emotional because everyone was
Speaker 3: just so vulnerable.
Speaker 1: So vulnerable and just so beautiful, and I think I
Speaker 1: was saying to I was saying to you guys of like,
Speaker 1: obviously we get the most amazing testimonials and dms and
Speaker 1: messages and they're so special and like I generally love them,
Speaker 1: but it's just a different experience when someone is saying
Speaker 1: to your face, you have changed my life. You have
Speaker 1: changed my relationship with my husband, and I no longer
Speaker 1: like have resentment towards my baby, like really strong stuff
Speaker 1: that you're like, holy shit, yeah we did that, and
Speaker 1: it's like that for me. I just I don't know,
Speaker 1: it was amazing. My little soul's like I think I've
Speaker 1: been on a high ever since. Yeah, such a such
Speaker 1: a beautiful high, and it was just so amazing to
Speaker 1: meet some of you guys in person. It's like nothing
Speaker 1: I love more. But should we get into the episode.
Speaker 3: Yes, already we're here with a GEZ hotline and this
Speaker 3: one is juicy. So our question is, hi, guys, this
Speaker 3: one was also shed in our Facebook community, so if
Speaker 3: you do like this, be sure to hop in there.
Speaker 3: We'll pop the link in show notes because we have
Speaker 3: chats like this all the time. But the question, I'm
Speaker 3: struggling a lot with my money mindset and feeling grateful
Speaker 3: for what I'm on. I'm on ninety five k before
Speaker 3: tax excluding super but these days that feels like it
Speaker 3: doesn't go a long way, especially when so many influences
Speaker 3: on Instagram are earning so much money. If you had
Speaker 3: told me one years ago I'd be on what I'm
Speaker 3: I am now, I wouldn't believe you. But now it
Speaker 3: feels so average, and being financially abundant is something I value.
Speaker 3: According to the ABS, the median salary in OZ is
Speaker 3: now ninety three k combining all employee earnings from Lotus
Speaker 3: super High.
Speaker 1: I love this so much, mean too, Let's fucking unpack this. Yes,
Speaker 1: is so good. That's so interesting about the medium.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think when you put it into perspective though,
Speaker 3: that includes like people who are earning hundreds of millions
Speaker 3: of dollars and billions of dollars, yeah, billions, and then
Speaker 3: scalium also to like your casual workers who were still
Speaker 3: in school maybe making twenty k me it came out.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. I think it was about twelve. But
Speaker 1: great for me. Amazing. So okay, well, let's like, let's
Speaker 1: clearly talk about the energetics of this, because like we're
Speaker 1: clearly not financial advisors. Yeah, so we're talking clearly through
Speaker 1: a manifesting lens. Just a little.
Speaker 3: Cavia disclaimer disclaimer that. Yeah, and before I get in trouble.
Speaker 1: So, I think the biggest thing here is really looking
Speaker 1: at I tolt like one hundred percent. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot happening happening economically and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know for me, ninety five thousand a year
Speaker 1: seems pretty fucking good.
Speaker 3: Though, Yes, I I think that's a lot of money. Well,
Speaker 3: I just.
Speaker 1: Think, I guess not from okay, I think from an
Speaker 1: energetic sense is like and I obviously I don't know
Speaker 1: this persons circumstances or anything like that, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: even matter what that figure it is is. You can
Speaker 1: tell it's their feelings around how they're feeling, because she
Speaker 1: even says like I'm struggling like feeling grateful for what
Speaker 1: I have, So essentially like.
Speaker 3: This can happen at any number.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you struggle to feel abundant, it's really
Speaker 1: important to currently look at your relationship with money, your
Speaker 1: relationship with what you're spending money on, and just even
Speaker 1: like the energetics of you know, if I truly believe
Speaker 1: if you can't make this amount of money work, you're
Speaker 1: not going to be happy at any amount of money
Speaker 1: because it's not actually about the figure, it's your relationship
Speaker 1: to the money.
Speaker 3: And I think what you'll find is as soon as
Speaker 3: you start shifting into that feeling of abundance, you will
Speaker 3: attract Even if it's not physically a higher wage or
Speaker 3: a bonus, you will still get the things you want. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and you'll somehow get some crazy deal on it and
Speaker 3: get it so much cheaper than what it normally is.
Speaker 3: If it's like say a very expensive car, it's like
Speaker 3: what you.
Speaker 1: Focus on expands. So this person is currently focusing on
Speaker 1: what they don't have. They have lack. They're earning this
Speaker 1: amount of money, but it's not enough. And even like her,
Speaker 1: you know, comments about seeing influences have something she doesn't,
Speaker 1: she is so focused on lack and it's like, well,
Speaker 1: of course, if you're focus on lack, nothing is ever
Speaker 1: going to be enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so you know, even coming from the perspective of
Speaker 1: like a logical perspective of maybe you need to have
Speaker 1: a look about look at what you're currently spending money on.
Speaker 1: And I use to do this thing personally when I
Speaker 1: was earning sixty k as a law clerk, and I
Speaker 1: actually think it was a bit less than that, and
Speaker 1: I used to kind of decide what was important to me.
Speaker 1: So personally eating out for like expensive dinners with Timothy
Speaker 1: was just never a big thing for me. It has
Speaker 1: definitely developed where I do love a good meal now
Speaker 1: as I've gotten older, But back then I didn't really
Speaker 1: like the taste of alcohol, didn't really get the whole
Speaker 1: expensive food thing, and I personally would ray rather me
Speaker 1: and Tim go get a syeballs and we sit on
Speaker 1: the beach and we have a date day, and like,
Speaker 1: those sorts of things meant something to me. So it's
Speaker 1: like I would then never go and spend money on
Speaker 1: an expensive dinner with girlfriends or Tim or you know
Speaker 1: our combined budget going to that, because I was like, well,
Speaker 1: that just doesn't do anything for me. Whereas, for example,
Speaker 1: I remember I used to or still very im used
Speaker 1: to be obviously very focused on my health. So for example,
Speaker 1: I remember I used to save so I can see
Speaker 1: a nature path because those sorts of things were important
Speaker 1: to me, and they made me feel abundant or they
Speaker 1: made me have the feeling of what I wanted, and
Speaker 1: they were like, I remember I used to literally put
Speaker 1: money aside to go to you know, the wholesome grosser
Speaker 1: and to buy organic and to the bulk sauce where
Speaker 1: you like buy all the things in the bags. And
Speaker 1: that was something important to me. So I would plan
Speaker 1: and prioritize that and also deprioritize things like not go
Speaker 1: out for fancy dinners, not buy design of things, because
Speaker 1: I was like, this is what is important to me.
Speaker 1: So with this person, it's like, could you even have
Speaker 1: a look at like what are you actually spending your
Speaker 1: money on? Do you actually care about it or are
Speaker 1: you just doing it because you want to seem a
Speaker 1: certain way or you think you should like that thing
Speaker 1: but you actually don't. Because from the message, I'm just
Speaker 1: getting the vibes of like she's not actually fulfilled. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she needs to put it into something that is actually
Speaker 1: going to light her up and make her feel like
Speaker 1: I'm that feels good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's so important. And I think I'm
Speaker 3: similar where food isn't really something that lights me up.
Speaker 3: Like I'm happy to go here and there for someone's
Speaker 3: birthday or for like a special occasion, but It's definitely
Speaker 3: not something I want to be doing weekly because if
Speaker 3: you think about it, I mean, I don't necessarily drink,
Speaker 3: but that's like if you're going to a nice restaurant
Speaker 3: sixty to one hundred dollars every weekend, I.
Speaker 1: Would see I think I'd say more than that at yeah.
Speaker 3: Potentially, Yeah, I would much rather put that sixty to
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars a week either into paying my health
Speaker 3: and fitness coach because that makes me feel really good
Speaker 3: that I have that and I have that accountability, or
Speaker 3: putting that literally into a jar so that on my
Speaker 3: birthday I can buy myself something designer love, which is
Speaker 3: actually something I've done this year. I've just put a
Speaker 3: little bit of money every week into a job, physical
Speaker 3: cash because it makes me feel like I'm saving. And
Speaker 3: then on my birthday I'll count how much I have
Speaker 3: and see like, ooh, what can I buy myself? And
Speaker 3: that makes me feel good. Yeah, And that's a priority
Speaker 3: of mine, and travel is a priority of mine. So
Speaker 3: I will have a certain amount of a week that
Speaker 3: will go into travel because it's something that fills up
Speaker 3: my cup and what I do with that, whether it's
Speaker 3: five weekends away or one holiday is up to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember when I was at UNI. When I
Speaker 1: was you know, literally I think I used to earn
Speaker 1: like maybe three hundred bucks a week and I was
Speaker 1: living out of home, so I really had to make
Speaker 1: that stretch. Yeah, and so I would never eat out.
Speaker 1: I would take all my lunches to UNI. I would
Speaker 1: never eat anything out because it was just too expensive
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, I would never buy a coffee. I
Speaker 1: would never buy food. But to me, it didn't feel
Speaker 1: like I was going without like I want that. I
Speaker 1: never focused on that because I was like, well, I
Speaker 1: want this money to obviously pay for rent and then
Speaker 1: to go out on the weekend. Yeah, because I was
Speaker 1: going through my eighteen stage I was at UNI. Yeah
Speaker 1: you mean, and so I was happy to go without
Speaker 1: buying lunches every day at UNI because I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: that's fucking seventy bucks. I can spend the glob.
Speaker 3: Yeah on three drinks.
Speaker 1: Literally, yeah, let's I wasn't spending in the I was
Speaker 1: like just entry, Look, you gotta do what you got
Speaker 1: to do. But that's what I mean is like I
Speaker 1: remember very specific moments in my life where I've gone, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is what I want, So I need to sacrifice
Speaker 1: this and that's fine because you know, I don't care
Speaker 1: and it makes me healthier to not, you know, buy
Speaker 1: Uni lunches every single day. Yeah, and I one hundred
Speaker 1: percent like agree. It can feel like this, oh I'm
Speaker 1: going without, but again, it's what you make of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also I just feel like these days you can
Speaker 1: find like dupes for everythink like literally, if you want
Speaker 1: something designer, you can find something that I'm not talking
Speaker 1: like full like ripoffs. I'm talking like, oh, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of liking a bag like this, and there's a similar
Speaker 1: one and the iconic or you know, you don't have
Speaker 1: to get the most expensive thing.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I find dupes and then realize they are dupes.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize they had like technically copied something.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I literally did that with my current
Speaker 1: ballet flats. They look like the Chanel and it went's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, if you got the Sheell ballet flat,
Speaker 1: I'm like what.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, oh my god, I love the shell flat.
Speaker 3: But mine were like.
Speaker 1: One hundred and twenty bucks and so like thousands, so
Speaker 1: yeah me.
Speaker 4: But yeah, and it's like like I think having and
Speaker 4: That's also another thing is I remember being on sixty
Speaker 4: K when I was a law clerk, and there were
Speaker 4: friends around me who were like I had friends who.
Speaker 1: They got a job straight after school, so by the
Speaker 1: time I got a job, they were like four years
Speaker 1: into their career. Yeah, so they were on like, you know,
Speaker 1: I think around eighty K. And so I had friends
Speaker 1: buying designer things and living that lifestyle and going out
Speaker 1: to dinners. And I remember thinking, that's really great for them.
Speaker 1: I'm just not at that stage. And so like, for example,
Speaker 1: I never ever bought anything designer because I was just
Speaker 1: like that stupidest thing ever, Like I can't afford it,
Speaker 1: and it was just such a logical thing to me.
Speaker 1: But I just wasn't worried because I'm like, it's all cool.
Speaker 1: I was very happy to live within my means and
Speaker 1: not look around and get I guess like focus on
Speaker 1: the scarcity. I really looked within and I was like,
Speaker 1: how cool I really have everything I need because you know,
Speaker 1: on that wage, me and Tim bought our first house together.
Speaker 1: It was very cheap. It was like a little townhouse
Speaker 1: before everything. No, No, I worked through that. You know,
Speaker 1: I've lived out at home since I was nineteen, so
Speaker 1: very much paid my own way. I always, you know,
Speaker 1: had my gym membership, I got to have my groceries
Speaker 1: I wanted. I saw, like you know, my natural path
Speaker 1: or like my acupunctress like that stuff was always really
Speaker 1: important to me, and I always made sure I had
Speaker 1: budget for that because that was my prioriti And I
Speaker 1: think also just talking about the common about you see
Speaker 1: influencers earning all this money, I guarantee they're probably not
Speaker 1: earning what you think, like maybe some of them are,
Speaker 1: like I don't know, yeah, but I guess from personal
Speaker 1: experience in the industry. I just think sometimes, like anything,
Speaker 1: it can look like they're living a certain lifestyle or
Speaker 1: they have certain you know, income, but also you don't
Speaker 1: know if for example, I'm just gonna give you some day,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say names, I'm gonna defeat this up.
Speaker 1: For example, I just knew from the Grapevine really early
Speaker 1: back in the day, a certain influencer YouTuber who you know,
Speaker 1: they'd earn three thousand dollars from an advertisement or a
Speaker 1: sponsor or whatever, and they would go straight to like
Speaker 1: Luis Vaton and go and spend that the whole thing yeah,
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Go get a Cardia ring, you know whatever.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I had just kind of entered
Speaker 1: that world and I was getting nowhere near and that
Speaker 1: realm of money. But I was getting, you know, payments
Speaker 1: from sponsors, and I remember I was saving for a house.
Speaker 1: Yeah do you mean so what you see is like
Speaker 1: I wasn't earning the same amount, but it's like I'm
Speaker 1: in the same industry. I'm just doing different things to
Speaker 1: my funds and living a different lifestyle, whereas this person
Speaker 1: was going straight away buying designer going out, and so
Speaker 1: they looked like they had a certain lifestyle, but they didn't.
Speaker 1: Well it would just be more when that would end,
Speaker 1: like what would they do, So they're not going to
Speaker 1: have anything. They might just have a lot of designer
Speaker 1: handbags or And this's the thing, is like that is
Speaker 1: no judgment. I really believe do whatever you want, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but just don't be looking around and thinking, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this person has more than me. They're earning all this money.
Speaker 1: And that's even something I remember growing up is there
Speaker 1: is a lot of this is like I'm kind of
Speaker 1: remembering like my eighteen stage and like, you know, when
Speaker 1: you just like knew older people. And I remember even
Speaker 1: having this conversation with someone and they were I think
Speaker 1: around thirty, but they were like going out every single weekend,
Speaker 1: blowing a lot of money on going out, and I
Speaker 1: remember thinking, like, what are you.
Speaker 3: Doing with your money?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, what's happening right now? How do you have
Speaker 1: that money to spend? Yeah, what's happening? And so I think, truly,
Speaker 1: and I said this in another episode, but comparison is
Speaker 1: just it's distraction. Yeah, So that's the first thing, is
Speaker 1: like stop comparing yourself because you really don't know what
Speaker 1: that person lives or what they have had to sacrifice
Speaker 1: to have that design a thing or live that certain life.
Speaker 1: Or you know, you might be comparing yourself and you've
Speaker 1: got a house, you've got a car, you've got you know,
Speaker 1: a secure partner and all these things, and you might
Speaker 1: be comparing to yourself to someone who literally has no
Speaker 1: savings in the bank. Yeah, but they're living the life
Speaker 1: you want.
Speaker 3: And I think, especially with comparison to people who you
Speaker 3: don't know in real life, like only through social media,
Speaker 3: you are comparing your whole self to one part of
Speaker 3: a person and assuming that every other part of their
Speaker 3: life is to that standard that you see, yes, which
Speaker 3: it probably isn't.
Speaker 1: No, And there's that's the huge like integrity there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Of like, just because that person is doing that in
Speaker 1: one avenue of their life doesn't mean everything else is
Speaker 1: the same.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like just because they, like you mentioned going to
Speaker 3: Louis and buying the handbags or Cardio and buying the rings,
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean they have one hundred ks saved in
Speaker 3: the bank, or it doesn't mean that they have a
Speaker 3: nice car that they're driving everywhere, or it doesn't mean
Speaker 3: that they get to go on the brugiest holidays. Maybe
Speaker 3: they do, maybe they show that too, but you can't
Speaker 3: assume that everything is at.
Speaker 1: That standard that you see. Definitely.
Speaker 3: I think it's just yeah, important to remember. The other
Speaker 3: thing I would probably say is she needs to or
Speaker 3: this listener needs to experiment with what makes her feel
Speaker 3: financially abundant, and it might require maybe not going on
Speaker 3: social media for a little bit to see what truly
Speaker 3: internally she feels lights her up and gives her that
Speaker 3: feeling of abundance. And also just acknowledge that no matter
Speaker 3: what wage you're on right now, things can feel a
Speaker 3: little bit scarce because the price of everything is going up,
Speaker 3: and just also taking that into account to your feelings
Speaker 3: of are you just sort of getting a bit of
Speaker 3: like a bit frazzled because of the messaging that you're
Speaker 3: hearing on the radio and on the news and in
Speaker 3: a lot of ads going around at the moment. Is
Speaker 3: that is all very much headed in scarcity? So is
Speaker 3: that contributing? And how can you sort of minimize that
Speaker 3: messaging but still be obviously financially smart with your money,
Speaker 3: but not absorb so much of that scarce energy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's two sides here. There's obviously the
Speaker 1: very logical making financial decisions part, and then there's the
Speaker 1: energetics of I truly believe that if you don't feel
Speaker 1: abundance now, like no number is going to make you
Speaker 1: feel abundance. That's not how energetics works. And I think
Speaker 1: all so it's like looking at why you don't feel abundant,
Speaker 1: because literally, if it's because you see influences quote unquote
Speaker 1: earning more than you, that clearly shows that again you're
Speaker 1: in this frequency of comparison and scarcity, so you need
Speaker 1: to And that's the thing is I wouldn't be making
Speaker 1: financial decisions from this place. No, And that's a big
Speaker 1: thing of like get the energetic sword in. So it's
Speaker 1: like stepping out and it's like, how can you feel abundant?
Speaker 1: Maybe it's muting all the influences, Yeah, that make you
Speaker 1: feel like shit with you know, money. It's the exact
Speaker 1: same thing about like your body, and like muting people
Speaker 1: who make you feel shit about your body. It's like,
Speaker 1: just don't have them on your screen. Take some responsibility. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so it's like muting those people and then being like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what is actually a prodee for me and what makes
Speaker 1: me feel abundant? And me and Cooper talk about this
Speaker 1: a lot, because what makes me feel abundant and what
Speaker 1: I like spending my money on is like very different
Speaker 1: to him. And we really talk about how cool it
Speaker 1: is that we can see that we have different you know,
Speaker 1: places of abundance and different like you can maybe call
Speaker 1: them buckets or whatever, and not being judgmental to the
Speaker 1: other person because they want to spend money in that
Speaker 1: way too. Yeah, And I think that is really really important,
Speaker 1: and I think it's it's that whole comparison piece.
Speaker 3: Also, I love that and I even think back to
Speaker 3: me last year when paying twenty dollars a week for
Speaker 3: my gym membership, I hated it. I also remember saying
Speaker 3: this on the podcast. It made me feel ill every
Speaker 3: time I saw that charge come out from gym for
Speaker 3: the week. And now I'm probably paying like for gym
Speaker 3: plus my coach like five times that a week, and
Speaker 3: it feels so good and I feel so good about it.
Speaker 3: But it's also because my priorities have shifted this year
Speaker 3: and I do want to invest in my health and fitness,
Speaker 3: and being healthy makes me feel abundant, and I've worked
Speaker 3: on associating health with abundance because it's a very different way.
Speaker 3: It's not like it's just not very materialistic, which was
Speaker 3: something I hadn't experimented with before when it came to abundance.
Speaker 3: But in the same thing, wearing a pair of designer
Speaker 3: shoes makes me feel like a million dollars, so of
Speaker 3: course I'm gonna get another pair sometimes. But it's just
Speaker 3: like figure it out for yourself, because I guarante, like
Speaker 3: my friends don't really care for design of things, but
Speaker 3: they also don't they love that I love it, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not worried.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, one's worried and I'm not worried about what
Speaker 3: they're doing. We're all just very supportive of each other.
Speaker 1: So that's actually something me and Tim did the other
Speaker 1: day also, is we went through our financials and we
Speaker 1: looked at what we were spending money on and what
Speaker 1: felt good and what we wanted to shift around, and
Speaker 1: we actually took some things off because we just thought, why, like,
Speaker 1: why are we spending money on this thing. It's like
Speaker 1: it's not even a priority for us. And then also
Speaker 1: there was some things where we're like, no, that feels
Speaker 1: really good, yeah, and like so happy to spend money
Speaker 1: on that, and really just like doing an order of like,
Speaker 1: oh what actually feels good? And again it not being
Speaker 1: about other people, it being about yourself.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think also like just quickly to end. Abundance
Speaker 1: is a feeling. It's not an end destination.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I truly believe you can feel like abundant with anything.
Speaker 1: It's again, it's a feeling you give yourself. It doesn't
Speaker 1: come from your employer, it doesn't come from you know,
Speaker 1: a person or a designer bag. It comes from yourself.
Speaker 1: So true.
Speaker 3: You know, when I actually felt most abundant recently, tell
Speaker 3: me so contradictory. I got a parking ticket and I
Speaker 3: looked at it our like, okay, cool, I'll pay that.
Speaker 3: And I just paid it, and that I don't think
Speaker 3: I've ever felt so abundant in my life, you bougie pick.
Speaker 3: But it was just like it's that for me. Is
Speaker 3: abundance is you're just not worried and you're not so
Speaker 3: attached to money that it rattles you when you need
Speaker 3: to pay something.
Speaker 1: And that's and so it's it's a huge energetic thing.
Speaker 1: And that's even what you said about when you used
Speaker 1: to see your gym membership being twenty bucks and it
Speaker 1: used to make you ill. Yeah, like that is a
Speaker 1: real life thing where that is like that's a whole
Speaker 1: money billyef thing. Yeah, that would have been like draining
Speaker 1: your energy and also it would have been creating more
Speaker 1: lack and scarcity in your life. Yeah. Yeah. And now
Speaker 1: I'm abundant. You know. I feel most abundant when when
Speaker 1: I get my invoice from my.
Speaker 3: Missus that that is great because I.
Speaker 1: Get a message every single like she's she's a lot,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, fucking love paying this in voice,
Speaker 1: and I do. And that's even something like I love
Speaker 1: paying invoices. I'm like, yes, I need this, I'd love it.
Speaker 1: This feels so good because it's so true. Of like,
Speaker 1: it matters how you feel when you're exchanging energy, and
Speaker 1: it matters how you feel about the money you have
Speaker 1: and then what you let go of and what you receive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3: I reckon. We'll pop a thread in the Facebook group. Yeah,
Speaker 3: tell us when you felt most abundant.
Speaker 1: Yes, I can't wait to hear me do. Thank you
