You're listening to the Confidence Podcast. Your favorite coaching podcast oozes in with motivation, inspiration, and confidence to help you boldly take action on your dreams.

On your host, Trish Blackwell, internationally recognized Confidence Coach, best-selling author, and founder of the College of Confidence, the most encouraging place on the Internet.

I teach go getters in life, how to take their thoughts captive, how to step out of the shadows of self-doubt, and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence.

It's time to pump our confidence muscles and train our thoughts y'all. Let's get started.

Hey guys, it's Trish Blackwell, your Confidence Coach, and you are listening to the Confidence Podcast episode number 504.

We have a juicy topic. A topic that not often is discussed with confidence, an openness and transparency, and that is money.

We're talking about money, confidence, and fear of success. I'm really excited to be bringing this topic to you because it is something in the past four years.

I've really been diving deep on to understand my money mindset blocks, my money thoughts, my money limitations, my money stories, and whether you're a business owner, maybe you and your spouse are just working to get out of debt or working to create a financial legacy for future generations.

Wherever you are in your money journey, it is really important to look at it through a lens of confidence, a lens of ownership, a lens that is thinking about the possibilities and taking responsibility for how you use money, not telling limiting stories of scarcity or victimhood based on our experience with money.

Well, this is going to work and relate to you whether you came from a really wealthy family or you grew up in the projects on welfare. Wherever you are in the spectrum, there's a story you have about money, and I hope that today's podcast episode is going to help you neutralize it, neutralize it, and help you reframe how you want to think about money in your life, and how you want to think about success in your life.

Because the truth is so often we stop ourselves from the level of success that we have available to us, especially as women, because we think, well, it would just be too much.

And I mean, I don't want to be greedy, and we have all these old narratives about money that are keeping us from actually having the influence in this world that you have the access to have.

And it's not even that it's about the money, but if you're not stepping into the next position that's available to you in work or in your leadership, because you think, well, I'm not deserving of the salary that's 50% higher, I feel bad about earning that much.

It's not even about whether you should have that money or not. I'm saying you were meant to have that influence.

You are meant to be a leader. There was this world of billions of people, and your leadership matters, your voice matters, your confidence matters.

And every time you shortchange yourself, every time you play down your success capacity, one, you're hurting yourself financially, yes, but two, you're hurting others.

So in this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're coaching on a couple fundamentals on money, how to have more confidence with money, how to have more money, and stop feeling guilty about money abundance, and how to stop self, how to stop sabotaging your own success, because of your fear of being too successful, and I have a lot of reflective questions that I'm going to share why what we often say to ourselves that gets us in that spiral.

And how do I know these questions? Y'all, I asked them myself, I was stuck in my own money mindset, and I'm going to share, gosh, I think I have about seven or eight of my favorite personal money mindset affirmations that I've written for myself that keep me in a place of gratitude.

And gold driven, focused, steward, well, the money I've been given, but also stretch it and let it pour out into the world, but it's so that balance between desiring more and being in a place of absolute abundance.

So we're going to talk about that. I'm going to share a lot of my money, my money mindset story and transformation.

And my hope is that this just inspires you to look at money more candidly, more openly, more transparently.

I am shocked at the number of people of very, very successful people. I mean, y'all, like multiple six figure income success.
