Wealth Wisdom: 10 Money Truths Nobody Taught You

What if your struggle with money isn't about you, but about what you were programmed to believe? Most of us were taught how to work for money, but never how to make money work for us. This powerful episode unravels the invisible programming keeping you from the wealth you deserve.

We're diving deep into 10 money myths that block abundance—beliefs like "wanting more is greedy," "you have to work hard to make money," and "spiritual people shouldn't care about money." These hidden wealth blocks operate below the surface, sabotaging your financial dreams without you even realizing it. The good news? Once you see these patterns, you can release them.

The heart of this episode reveals 10 transformative money truths wealthy people embody daily. You'll discover why money is energy that flows where there's alignment; why you get paid for value, not time; and why your nervous system's capacity directly impacts your wealth ceiling. Perhaps most powerfully, you'll understand that money doesn't change who you are—it amplifies who you already are.

Ready for a money mindset makeover? Learn our simple two-question technique for reprogramming limiting beliefs: "What else could be true?" and "Who taught me this belief, and are they wealthy?" These questions create new neural pathways based on possibility, not programming. Your wealth can only grow to the level your nervous system feels safe to hold—and we'll show you how to expand that capacity.

Choose one money truth to replace a money lie this week. Whether it's practicing receiving, setting boundaries, or learning about investing, each step builds your wealth capacity. Remember: wealth embodiment is a daily practice, not a one-time event. Your abundant life is waiting where your programming ends.

Money as Programming

Speaker 1 0:00

But I think it's why I'm anti-ad, Like I am not a big fan of an ad.

Speaker 2 0:06

Ads are programming.

Speaker 1 0:07

Because they're programming and also like sometimes they're programming you with really negative shit, like some of them are, you know, just humorous. I would say I tend to remember the humorous ads more. Oh yeah, for example, New York City.

Speaker 2 0:25

Get a rope.

Speaker 3 1:42

You're supposed to say something. I forgot, I got nothing. I got nothing. You're supposed to say something.

Speaker 2 1:47

I forgot. Well, the funny thing is is that we are extremely, as a people, as a population, as a species, we are extremely programmable.

Speaker 1 1:57

Right, and that brings us to our current subject yes.

Speaker 1 2:01

And I know that so much like as a songwriter too current subject yes, and I know that so much like as a songwriter too, like just when I would write songs and like especially being in the room with, like, uh, big hit songwriters and they would like want to say something super negative over and over again in the chorus and I'm just like I'm not fucking doing it, like I'm not, I don't, I don't feel that way. So I'm not going to say that for myself, but also cause it would be inauthentic.

Speaker 1 2:30

But also I don't want somebody running around the house singing my song and it's like a totally negative mantra over and over again, you know, like all of my choruses you know, like you would talk about your struggle or whatever, but the choruses are always about like overcoming or like you know something that's positive, like I've got a fire burning inside me.

Speaker 2 2:53

Words are spells.

Speaker 1 2:55

Yes.

Speaker 2 2:55

Yes, words are spells. Words are spells, which is why you don't want to live on poor street. Old poor farm road Old poor farm road, old poor farm road, poverty lane when Mike and I were looking to buy a house.

Speaker 1 3:10

There's some funny there's some funny street names around here real nice houses, but on poverty lane like no thanks no, who's buying that house? All your mail, all your checks in the mail will come to poverty lane.

Speaker 2 3:25

Now, anyway, it's like living in, like pedophile lane, it's like, no, no, no, no, I don't want to be here no thanks I haven't seen that one, no, but some.

Speaker 1 3:37

I have seen some things, it's like you know. Yeah, anyway, we can do it with the at some point about funny names on streets.

Speaker 2 3:46

Well, let me pull this back into our current subject about being programmable. Yeah. And what type of programming are you wanting to talk about today? The?

Speaker 1 3:54

programming we're going to talk about today is wealth, wisdom, and it's the 10 money truths nobody taught you.

Speaker 2 4:03

Money truths. Let's do this.

Speaker 1 4:04

Like what if the reason you're struggling with money isn't you, but what you were taught about it, or rather programmed?

Speaker 2 4:13

Programmed Right Well, today we are unpacking 10 powerful money truths nobody taught us in school, but the wealthiest people know and embody every day.

Speaker 1 4:23

Yes.

Speaker 2 4:24

Right. I mean money is more than numbers. It is an energy, it's a mirror, it's a teacher, right? So when we fall in love with money, money falls in love with us.

Speaker 1 4:35

Money does fall in love with us. Oh yeah, money. Bff, you've been listening to us. In the past few episodes. We have talked about this, but today, today, we're going to dive deep into money truths, money myths and really give you a deeper dive into wealth, wisdom. Some of this you're going to be like, oh shit, so grab your journal or notepad, or just pull up or pull out your notes app on your phone. This episode will help you shift your money story from fear and confusion to clarity and empowerment Empowerment.

Speaker 2 5:13

All right.

Speaker 1 5:14

Are you excited, michael oh?

Speaker 2 5:15

I'm so excited. I'm so excited because we are going to get why we weren't taught wealth in school.

Speaker 1 5:22

Yeah, right, why. I wonder why.

Introduction to Wealth Wisdom

Speaker 2 5:25

Well, because most schools teach us how to work for money, but not how to make money work for us, right. So it creates a strong, steady workforce. If everyone is working for money and money's not working for them, they're going to continue working for money.

Speaker 1 5:40

Right.

Speaker 2 5:41

So, according to a national financial educators council survey stated that 76% of adults wish they had learned personal finance in high school. Right Just just, and that typically is after the fact that they've already made money.

Speaker 1 5:59

Yeah, and I was like maybe it changed. And then when our daughter was going to school, I was like, have they taught you anything about, like you know, checking accounts? Like have they taught you anything about like credits and debits, and also I feel like the alternative math options have changed too. School many, many, many years ago they gave us the option of like accounting and, like you know, understanding numbers in different ways. You know economics, but like there was options and it seems like some of the options have also gone away.

Speaker 2 6:37

Well, that, and they also brought in the new math.

Speaker 1 6:39

Yeah, and then the math changed. I guess the old math didn't work Anyway continue, continue. But I had to tell her like, hey, you know here's I mean, I even taught her how to write a check because I was like, I don't know, checks might not be a thing in the future Probably not, it's probably all going to be digital. But like, let's at least teach you everything that is current.

Speaker 1 6:59

At least a proper pattern, right To engage with money and to be able to manage it, to be able to look and be like oh yeah, this is what's happening with my money. Is my money working for me or am I just working for it and then feeling scarcity about spending it? Many of us have also inherited family patterns like money doesn't grow on trees or wanting more is selfish. Those are both in quotes. Maybe swap those with whatever you heard. Those become subconscious wealth blocks and our minds are so programmable. And if you don't believe me, this is why we were talking about ads. Just think for a moment. Wherever you are, just pause for a moment. Wherever you are, just pause for a moment and just think of, especially if you're a millennial, a Gen X or a boomer. Okay, Just think about what ads you remember as a kid, Like what were the most popular ads on TV? Um, you know, on the radio we heard a lot of ads that generational span. But if you're Gen Z or even whatever's after that, the new ones.

Speaker 1 8:18

The newest newbies, but if you're listening to us and you're Gen Z, then my question would be what vines or trending sounds on social were popular when you were a kid? Or sounds or even cartoons, what were you being programmed with? So just think of like a couple of things, and then what I want to say is that all generations think of the songs that you've heard on the radio, and now think of what lyrics you have memorized for songs that maybe you didn't even like, like I'm too sexy for my cat.

Speaker 1 8:57

Too sexy for my cat. What you think about that Like. Why do I know that? I know that because it was played so many times that I know the lyrics to a song that I didn't even like.

Speaker 2 9:12

I mean, who knows what open garment style means. But I can close my eyes and do that dance right and be like open garment style. You know what I'm saying? That's because we respond so quickly to programming.

10 Money Myths Debunked

Speaker 1 9:29

Yes. So wealth isn't just strategy and understanding that this whole programming thing is something that you didn't have a lot of control about. But wealth is self-worth, it's nervous system, safety and it's mindset. So the programming we're going to help you unravel a little bit, and next we're going to talk about the money myths. So here are the 10 common money myths that often block abundance, create fear around finances or sabotage alignment. Number one wanting more money is greedy or selfish.

Speaker 2 10:09

No, no, no.

Speaker 1 10:10

The truth is, money amplifies your values. When people have money consciously, when conscious people have money, they fund healing, impact and generational wealth, not just personal gain.

Speaker 2 10:26

I love that. I like the fact that they're funding healing, impact and generational wealth which are going to continue to make money for those younger generations. Like that's beautiful. Number two you have to work hard to make money right. The truth is aligned. Abundant wealth flows through ease, value and resonance, not just hustle.

Speaker 1 10:51

Number three I'm just bad with money. It's not my thing. The truth is, financial intelligence is a learnable skill. Did you hear that? You can learn. Everybody can learn. You weren't born knowing how to manage wealth, but you can remember and reclaim your power around it. Just like you weren't born knowing how to walk, but you kept practicing and you didn't give up. You kept going for it right.

Speaker 2 11:18

I like to believe that if you weren't born rich, you have the responsibility to become rich, right? You can't just blame it on someone else. You have the response to become rich. If you didn't come from money, money will come through you, All right. The fourth myth is it's irresponsible to spend money on desires or luxury. The truth is that investing in pleasure, beauty and desire can be a portal to expansion and prosperity when done with intention, not avoidance.

Speaker 1 11:49

Not avoidance.

Speaker 2 11:50

Not avoidance, that is a key honey.

Speaker 1 11:53

You don't want to check out, you want to check in, All right number five is don't want to check out, you want to check in, all right. Number five is I'll feel safe and successful once I hit a certain income.

Speaker 2 12:03

That's a myth. Add your number. That's a myth, yeah.

Speaker 1 12:06

The truth is, safety is an internal state, not an external number.

Speaker 2 12:12

Ooh, yes.

Speaker 1 12:13

So if you don't feel safe now, more money won't fix it Wherever you go there, you are right, so it'll amplify the inner chaos. That's what's so crazy.

Speaker 2 12:26

Yeah, that's why you see a lot of young, successful people having just an amazing come up and then they fall victim to drugs and alcohol because all of a sudden they can buy better drugs and buy better alcohol.

Speaker 1 12:41

And also they just realize oh shit, this didn't make me happy.

Speaker 2 12:45

Yeah.

Speaker 1 12:46

And let me start filling the gaps and the holes of where I didn't do the self-care and the work and the avoidance. That's the avoidance part.

Speaker 2 12:54

So number six Number six this one's big Debt is always bad Big time myth. The truth is not all debt is equal right Strategic debt, like investing in your growth or your education or your business, can be a powerful tool when used wisely.

Speaker 1 13:13

Or investing in your health, for example.

Speaker 2 13:15

Huge, exactly, huge exactly.

Speaker 1 13:16

Like you know, how are you going to do all the things if you're not healthy?

Speaker 2 13:20

Do I want to invest in a gym membership or do I want to invest in this new Jeep? It's like, hmm, the Jeep will be fun, but that gym membership is going to make you strong and focused.

Speaker 1 13:28

Yeah, and maybe you can invest in both, but like just making sure that your debts make sense.

Speaker 2 13:36

Priorities first, and your health is always priority.

Speaker 1 13:39

Yes, Number seven. Making money means I'll lose time, freedom or relationships, that's a myth. That's a big myth. The truth is aligned wealth expands freedom when it's built from soul, aligned strategy systems and sovereignty, not people pleasing or self abandonment.

Speaker 2 13:59

Yeah, I like the sovereignty part. Yeah, you are your own island and you can be self sustainable. Most certainly Number eight spiritual people shouldn't care about money. That is a myth. That's a myth.

Speaker 1 14:14

Big old fat myth.

Speaker 2 14:15

Yeah, the truth is money is energy, right. Denying it doesn't make you spiritual. Circulating it with integrity makes you more powerful and impactful, but your spirituality has nothing to do with money.

Speaker 1 14:28

Right Number nine there's not enough to go around. So if I make too much then that means you know my neighbor doesn't have enough and that's just such a lie. That's a lie. The truth is, scarcity is the biggest lie that we are told and the biggest you know. Bs myth out there. The universe is abundant, there's more than enough for everyone and there's no budget for each person.

Speaker 1 14:57

You know you don't come in with like, okay, this person can only earn this much. It's important for you to just take your power back from that. I feel like that's one of the largest myths and it's profoundly impactful when programmed at a young age.

Speaker 2 15:17

Oh, yeah, yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 15:19

So there's more than enough. The truth is, when you expand, you create space for others to rise to your abundance. Does not take from anyone.

Speaker 2 15:29

Number 10. All right, making more money will change who I am. That is a massive myth. The truth is that money reveals and amplifies your true self right. So if you're generous, loving and conscious now, more money will only deepen those traits. If you're greedy, you're just going to become more greedy.

10 Money Truths Nobody Taught You

Speaker 1 15:54

Yep for sure. So that's all 10. Amazing, we got through all of those big fat lies that maybe you were programmed with. Let's get into the 10 money truths that nobody taught you. Oh I like the truths. This might be why you tuned in today.

Speaker 1 16:11

So let's get right into it, shall we? Money is energy number one. Money is energy, not just paper. Wealthy people know money flows where there is alignment, value and openness, and your beliefs and energy shape your financial reality. So you attract what you embody, not what you chase. There's a lot of research on energy and quantum physics that backs up this strategy this truth. And there's a lot of patterning. If you just look at the wealthiest people around you, you'll notice some patterning with alignment, value and openness.

Speaker 2 17:06

Mm-hmm. Yeah, most certainly Number two. You get paid for value, not time. Right, trading time for dollars has a ceiling on it.

Speaker 1 17:18

Because there's only a limited amount of time. Oh yeah. Right. So obviously if you're just trading time for dollars, you don't have more time often to give, Because you've got to sleep at some point. You've got to sleep at some point, you got to eat at some point. You know, even if you're working three or four jobs, like there is an end point on time.

Speaker 2 17:44

Yes, on top of that, if you work for someone else, someone else is controlling the flow of your money.

Speaker 1 17:49

Yes.

Speaker 2 17:50

And the flow of your money is the energetic flow of your life. So you are giving your power to someone else to siphon it. Yep, right, wealth is built by creating, by solving problems, by serving value. Those are purpose. That's someone's purpose. So when you get into that purpose, work. That's where wealth really comes in, not trading your time for money.

Speaker 1 18:17

Yeah, you get paid for your value. Sometimes you get paid just for your presence, Like if you are a speaker or a coach. You know, like people are paying their perceived value of you. That's what we're talking about. Like you know, you could be there for 10 minutes, but they're paying for your presence.

Speaker 2 18:35

The downside with trading time for money with your standard nine to five, is that that's only one stream of income and according to Thomas Corley's rich habits study, 65% of self-made millionaires have at least three streams of income. Yep, right, yep. So that's where the passive money also starts coming in. So once you can get your money to work for you guess what that's a stream of income.

Speaker 1 19:05

Yep. So number three is scarcity is learned. Abundance though, is natural.

Speaker 2 19:15

I love that.

Speaker 1 19:17

And what we are wanting you to sink into is the remembrance, the remembrance of where we are in the playing field, that anything is possible and that abundance is your birthright. Correct, most scarcity patterns are inherited and unconsciously running the show. Yeah, and they are something that you were programmed with, but abundance, like I said, is your birthright when you align with value creation and worthiness. So, showing up and getting paid $10,000 to just be at an event, do you feel worthy of that? And if you don't, why? Like there's nobody? That's you in the entire universe, and so why are we discounting ourselves?

Speaker 2 20:07

Perceived value.

Speaker 1 20:09

Scarcity is just a story, so abundance is your natural state.

Speaker 2 20:16

Exactly Going back to your natural state. Okay, number four receiving is a skill right. If you resist receiving support or compliments or payments, you block your own abundance.

Speaker 1 20:28

Yes. I love that.

Speaker 2 20:30

You're saying yes, but then at the last minute you're like no, no, no, no, no, no, and then there it goes right. So wealth embodiment includes practicing the art of receiving. You have to practice that regularly.

Speaker 1 20:42

And it's that nervous system reset that we talked about on our show last week is that you have to realize that in rest is when you are receiving and that's just the way the universe works. So like your embodiment sometimes is literally resting. Yeah. So that you can attract the download or the offering from the universe of like oh wow. They really have been manifesting this thing for a while. I think they're ready for it because they've rested and their nervous system is a match Number five. Money management is greater than money amount.

Speaker 2 21:26

That is true. That was a hard lesson to learn. I'm like wait a minute what?

Speaker 1 21:32

Listen, you can earn so much, and when I say earn a lot of times, that's like you trading time for money. But even if you're manifesting and you're calling it in, you can still stay broke if you don't manage it. That's correct, yeah, and I would say that once you overcome some of your beginning programming, anybody can make money, and that's not the hard part, because you have great leverage, especially if you came from no money. You have great leverage to be like I'm going to fucking have so much money. But here's the thing. Is that the second that you have it, what are you doing with it? Where is it going?

Speaker 2 22:11

With your relationship with it.

Speaker 1 22:12

yeah, yeah, so you can still end up broke. In fact, there's this factoid from National Endowment for Financial Education that states that 70% of people who receive a financial windfall lose it within a few years. Oh yeah, so this is similar to us talking a couple weeks ago about people who win the lottery, but the truth is is that wealth management is is a big deal. So again, money management is greater than the money amount. It's not just about how much you make, but how you keep invest and circulate it.

Speaker 2 22:49

Exactly.

Speaker 1 22:50

And don't forget, investing can also be like investing in experiences. There's this great book that is called Die With Nothing, oh yeah, and the point is that your future self is not going to be happy that they have a couple hundred thousand dollars in their bank account when it's time for them to check out. The truth is, if it's been invested in family members or it's been invested in experiences, those are the things that later in life, you're like God, I'm so glad I took that trip with my family. Oh, I'm so glad I invested in health, usually because later in life, you might be succumbing to some type of ailment that you didn't take care of 20 years prior, because you're like oh, I don't want to spend the money on it.

Speaker 2 23:39

Or you're in burnout.

Speaker 1 23:41

Or you're in burnout and you're like, oh, I don't want to do those preventative acupuncture appointments and like that could have changed the trajectory of your 20 year later 80s lifestyle, you know Exactly. So yeah, money management baby.

Speaker 2 23:56

Speaking speaking of investments. That's number six. Investing is essential, not optional, right? Wealthy people let money work for them through investing like real estate, like stocks, businesses and whatnot, instead of only working for money. Right? So you need to have your money working for you. Yeah, like that's.

Speaker 1 24:17

Yeah, and if you've read any money books, you know like Rich Dad, poor Dad, that's like the gist of that entire book, most certainly, you know. And the gist that I just shared about like Die With Zero is like Die With Zero, I think that's what it is. Anyway, I think I said Die With Nothing, but it's like Die With Zero, I think that's what it is. Anyway, I think I said Die With Nothing, but it's like Die With Zero. It is basically to fund your experiences and that those are actual investments. Anyway, we just ruined those books for you, but if you want to read these books those would be two I would recommend, just so that you can get into a healthy place about money.

Speaker 2 24:57

Reprogram. That's how you reprogram.

Speaker 1 24:58

Reprogram honey Number seven is nervous system safety, because it impacts wealth. So you've got to take care of your nervous system. So if your body feels unsafe period, but also unsafe with money, you may be sabotaging opportunities. Wealth requires a regulated nervous system to receive and hold abundance. So like if you put your hand out right now, wherever you are, power, posse and it's a fist, there's no place for that money to land right.

Speaker 1 25:36

Somebody hands you a big stack of cash. You have to have your hand open to hold it. So when your nervous system is tight, it's going to be like a fist. If your nervous system is rattled, it's going to be like a shaky fist. It's never going to be open and accepting and ready. And if you just open your hand and you think about the center of your hand, your palm, you can feel a little energy there. That energy, when you have your hand open, is going to magnetize something to it, correct. So unclench your fists wherever you are, keep your hands open. There's this other book about the body keeping score and what they reference is basically like your wealth needs to have that regulated nervous system to be in full, abundant states. Your wealth will only grow to the level your nervous system feels safe to hold.

Speaker 2 26:41

I love that and I love the analogy that you meant with the whole hand and all that I also see like a cup right and the bigger the cup, the more you can hold the more abundance.

Speaker 2 26:56

So when you work on yourself, when you work on your nervous system, you are going from a Dixie cup to a large four cup measuring cup, right. And then you work on yourself and you go for that large measuring cup and you get a cauldron right. So the more you work on yourself, the more abundance you are. More you work on yourself, the more abundance you are physically, mentally, spiritually able to hold.

Speaker 1 27:18

Yep.

Speaker 2 27:19

So that goes back to number eight. Right Boundaries are wealth protection. Yes, so boundaries with your time, your energy and your spending protect your capacity to grow wealth without burnout. Again, we are talking about that vessel. Right.

Speaker 2 27:43

And that vessel, right, is going to attract thirsty people, Right? So that's where your boundaries come in. So, if you're making a bunch of money but you're spending money out because so many people are like, oh I want some of your money, I want some of your time, I want some of your intellectual you know, I don't know all that stuff you are creating leaks. You have a couple of energy vampires. So that's where your boundaries are going to come in. Your boundaries are going to protect your vessel.

Speaker 1 28:06

Okay, awesome.

Speaker 1 28:08

I think the other thing with boundaries is that the people who are crossing your boundaries in your life right now are actually your wealth stealers.

Speaker 1 28:21

So just think about that in terms of truths that nobody's ever told you. If you just frame it that they are stealing your wealth because they won't respect your boundaries, you might look at them and you might be willing to eliminate them from your life faster, because if they don't respect your boundaries, then they don't respect your nervous system. And if they don't respect your nervous system and your nervous system is constantly having having to defend itself or to be challenged or oftentimes say no 300 ways or say no and then like a huge long statement of why you're saying no, after all of that is energy and it brings us back to like number one, where it's like money is just energy, and so your nervous system then is going to, instead of being a magnet that draws things to it, it's going to draw potentially other people like that. So you start creating kind of a wall around yourself where you are no longer a match for abundance.

Speaker 2 29:28

Yeah, and if this is the first time listening to us, we do a whole, I think two or three episodes on boundaries alone. Yes, and how important it is, in all aspects of your life, to include your finances.

Speaker 1 29:41

Yep and number nine, self-worth, sets your income ceiling.

Speaker 2 29:48

Ooh, that is so true.

Speaker 1 29:50

Yes, wealthy people know how to charge for their value, not their fears. Self-worth dictates what you believe you can receive. You don't get what you deserve, right? Yeah, you get what you believe.

Speaker 2 30:05

That is so so, so true.

Speaker 1 30:07

Going back to that programming, like what did you get programmed to believe? Are you worth it? You know like you're worth it. You're worth it Exactly.

Reprogramming Your Money Mindset

Speaker 2 30:18

And number 10, money is a mirror and an amplifier, right so money expands your current patterns and identity. It's not good or bad. It reveals your beliefs and values. Right Again, that goes back to the whole thing where, if you're greedy, money is not going to change that. It's going to make you more greedy, right so money doesn't change who you are. It amplifies who you are. So, if you are a very generous person, imagine how generous you can be with more money. Right. If you're a caring person or a healer, imagine how much impact you can have with more money. If you are an artist, right, who has the ability to heal people through their craft, the more money you make, the more you can actually expand your reach. So it's your responsibility to become rich.

Speaker 1 31:15

So money doesn't change who you are, it amplifies who you are. You said right yeah, I love that, I love that so much. All right, so that's number 10. Now you have 10 myths and you have 10 truths, so shall we play a game.

Speaker 2 31:30

We should definitely play a game.

Speaker 1 31:32

Okay, so I want to. It's going to be a quick and dirty Okay, myth or wealth wisdom. I'm going to say a phrase and you will call out whether it's a myth or wealth wisdom. Got it Ready. Okay, Quick dirty. You're going to say myth or wealth wisdom.

Speaker 2 31:48

Myth or wealth wisdom? Okay, got it. Money is the root of all evil.

Speaker 1 31:50

Okay, got it. Money is the root of all evil.

Speaker 2 31:53

That's a myth.

Speaker 1 31:54

Okay, money expands who you are.

Speaker 2 31:57

That's wisdom.

Speaker 1 31:59

Mm-hmm. You have to work hard for money. Myth Money is energy.

Speaker 2 32:06

That's all wisdom.

Speaker 1 32:07

Investing is risky, big time, big time. Myth Receiving is a skill.

Speaker 2 32:13

Always a skill, and that is 100% wisdom.

Speaker 1 32:16

Yes, and so you must learn the skill.

Speaker 2 32:19

Must learn the skill exactly.

Speaker 1 32:26

And they didn't teach it to you. And it's one of my favorite things to teach and it's what I know I wish every single school taught how to deal with money, how to attract it, how to call it in. Every myth you release right now or now or in the future makes space for a new level of wealth.

Speaker 2 32:45

I love that. I love that, so do the work.

Speaker 1 32:48

So basically do the work.

Speaker 2 32:49

Do the work. You're doing the work as you are listening.

Speaker 1 32:52

Right, so here's a little.

Speaker 2 32:54

Reprogramming.

Speaker 1 32:54

A little Exactly, and so to embody wealth wisdom in containers, I like to teach a reframing about limiting money beliefs.

Speaker 2 33:06

Oh nice.

Speaker 1 33:08

And here's how it works. I want you to identify a core belief, so one of those, you know, myths.

Speaker 2 33:16

basically, I have to struggle to learn or struggle to earn money.

Speaker 1 33:20

And then I want you to flip it using a reframing question. So this is how you're going to unpack some of this story and rewrite it, okay, so let's say that one that you said. Say it again.

Speaker 2 33:33

I have. I have to struggle to earn.

Speaker 1 33:36

Okay.

Speaker 2 33:37

Earning money is hard.

Speaker 1 33:38

So what else could be true?

Speaker 2 33:43

There could be other truths out there. Yeah, that's not the only truth. That's a good question.

Speaker 1 33:48

Yeah, and so you can just write down. What are the other truths? If the myth is I have to struggle to earn?

Speaker 2 33:58

I've also heard that money comes easy.

Speaker 1 34:00

Money comes easy to me.

Speaker 2 34:02

Right, so there's other narratives that I can tap into.

Speaker 1 34:06

There's always more than enough. What else could be true? I mean, this is like the game where you play. Imagination comes into play, like what else could be true? If that's a lie, then what else could be true? So that's the first part of flipping it, and then you can do the really dirty work that people don't want to do, because it requires you to visit the past, uh-oh wound care. Who taught me that? And are they wealthy? Ooh, care.

Speaker 2 34:34

Who taught me that and are they wealthy? The people who taught me my money or my initial?

Speaker 1 34:38

I've changed since then, but my initial money have both passed away and they were not wealthy at all, and so here's what I always say in my sessions, and also it's like what I live by I never take advice from those whose lives I don't inspire to live.

Speaker 2 35:04

Say that one more time.

Speaker 1 35:06

I never take advice from those whose lives I don't aspire to live.

Speaker 2 35:12

So that would have been so nice to hear when I was cutting my way through school, elementary school, high school, that whole bit.

Speaker 1 35:20

And the truth is, is that, like for anything that doesn't just go with money that goes with, like anything, like I, I wouldn't take health advice from somebody who was unhealthy, you know it's like well, wait a minute. Like you know I, I want to take the advice from those that are unhealthy. It's like well, wait a minute. I want to take the advice from those that are walking their talk and are living a life that I am inspired by and aspire to live myself.

Speaker 2 35:44

Yeah, I'm not going to take a love advice from someone who is not successful in their relationships.

Wealth is Wisdom in Action

Speaker 1 35:50

So that's pretty easy, just reframing your limiting money beliefs in that way. And it's two questions Again. It's what else could be true? Who taught me that? And are they wealthy? Two questions. And then what this does is it creates new neural pathways based on possibility, not on programming.

Speaker 2 36:10

Possibility.

Speaker 1 36:11

Possibility yes, because the truth is is that we are living in such an expansive, abundant universe, infinite possibilities that there are infinite possibilities, but we allow the programming, often subconscious, to run the show and then it runs us into the ground. Yeah, exactly, and maybe that's why you're tuning in Mm-hmm. Get up, honey, I got.

Speaker 3 36:33

You Get up, I got you Get up, we got this, we got you, we got you.

Speaker 1 36:38

So what I'm going to invite you to do is choose one money truth to replace a money lie and embody it this week. Is it practicing receiving? Is it setting a boundary? Is it learning about investing? Is it money management? What are you going to do with the 10 truths that we gave you?

Speaker 2 36:59

Exactly and see this as a pathway. Right, so it's not necessarily destination. You follow this pathway and with every step you're going to become more and more wealthy. Right, there is no destination. You just are going to be a more wealthy traveler.

Speaker 1 37:16

And if you don't have a lot of money coming in and you're just listening to this, maybe you're in some rebuild or pivot or whatever. Like romance, that shit you know, Like that's part of your come up story, Like get romantic with it, Fall in love with how you know exciting it is to be on the precipice with this new information.

Speaker 2 37:38

Yeah, if you're sitting with no money in your pocket, be excited that you have contrast, and then you know what it feels like to not have money. So when you do have money, how delicious is that going to feel.

Speaker 1 37:51

Yeah, and if you don't have money, something's going on with you. So take the ownership, take the accountability and do the work, and we invite you to do the work in as fun, a playful way as possible, because that's going to radically attract money faster for your nervous system.

Speaker 2 38:09

Alignment- I mean, that's most of our clients are are caught up in old patternings based on parents and money and all that stuff, and it's it's fun to watch them do a couple things make investments. I have what I have a client who's going to start his own business soon, so it's like it's going to be beautiful to watch someone embody these truths and actually just float off into the high heavens of wealth, right you?

Speaker 1 38:40

know what I mean. This is the foundation. Like, imagine building on this foundation when you're a kid, so use these foundational truths to build your fucking empire.

Speaker 2 38:50

Yeah, money patterning. It's all based off of awareness, right? What you are aware of you can change. So one way to create more awareness in your wealth is to start tracking your spending right. Tracking your spending creates wealth, awareness and awareness creates choice, right? So if you see that you're bleeding money here and there, like, oh my God, I didn't realize I was bleeding that much money.

Speaker 1 39:18

Yeah, and change that language too.

Speaker 2 39:19

Exactly what it would be like if you were to take that money that was going nowhere and invest it so that it's going to start making you money. That's where your money works for you, and you're not going to realize that until you become more aware of what your money's doing.

Speaker 1 39:36

This phrase gets said so many times. But the bleeding money what you just said gets said so much in it's programming, yeah, and because it's like programming, and if you just think about that phrase like bleeding money, like I mean all of us would slice open a toe if we could just bleed money Like that's a ridiculous statement and it's also like carries so much negative weight and it makes us feel shame and like our words are so important when it comes to like in coaching a lot. It's just like just listening to word usage tells you how the emotion, how much emotion, is tied up into something as as like magical as money.

Speaker 1 40:22

You know it's like like, what are we doing here? Like what, what battlefield are we talking about here?

Speaker 2 40:28

I mean I would. I would go so far as to say that if you don't have a money coach right, someone who can coach you mentally, spiritually, how to manage your relationship to money you have to get a coach immediately. Yeah, I'm not talking about a financial advisor. I'm talking about mentally opening up the pathways in your body to allow more abundance to come in.

Speaker 1 40:52

Right, because the truth is you have to manage your nervous system, you have to manage your emotions, you have to clear out some, some, you know, inner conflicts. Yeah, definitely heal some childhood wounds, and all of that is going to make you more abundant ready, oh, yeah, and so?

Speaker 2 41:11

Going to broaden your, to broaden your money capacity Right.

Speaker 1 41:15

Yeah, because wealth is wisdom in action. I love that. Wealth is wisdom in action, honey.

Speaker 2 41:25

Well, money is one of the greatest personal growth teachers you will ever have.

Speaker 1 41:30

Yeah, especially since it rules the society so much. I totally agree with that. So, yeah, get into a coach. Mike and I both have a application If you are interested. If there's space, we will jump on a discovery call with you and we would love to help you with your money conversations, rewrite your money story and so many other things that we do. But it is a really fun thing to help people reprogram that part of their life. We hope that this served you so much love and gave you a new reframing exercise to try. You can also use that to journal and you can check in with yourself quarterly. That's a fun one. It's like what's happening with this conversation that I'm having about money. Especially if things are not coming as fast as you would like them to, there's an internal dialogue that is writing your chapters for you. Don't let that happen.

Speaker 2 42:28

Well, I'm not sure if you said this before, but I agree wealth embodiment is a daily practice, right? It's not a one-time event, right? So, if you don't have a coach, get a coach, yep, and get one only when you are ready to really level up.

Speaker 1 42:44

When you're ready to do the work.

Speaker 2 42:45

yeah, Because there is going to be some work.

Speaker 1 42:47

Yeah, and otherwise you'll just waste time and energy.

Speaker 2 42:49

And money.

Speaker 1 42:51

And also money. And then be ready to do some work and hopefully, whoever you work with, they know how to make it fun and to help you get progress quickly, because progress it really does equal a lot of happiness.

Speaker 2 43:09

Oh yeah, Most certainly.

Speaker 1 43:10

Sending you the highest vibrations.

Playful Money Rituals

Speaker 2 43:12

You are held. You are loved.

Speaker 1 43:20

So it's not often that I have cash on me, but sometimes I have cash on me, right Because?

Speaker 2 43:27

I don't have a cash business and we live in a credit card world and digital world, exactly and also.

Speaker 1 43:41

I would just say like I'm not going to the bank, being like let me have a whole bunch of money out, but I always have a stack of hundreds for energy purposes because of the sensation of having it run through my fingers. And the other day I was like put this in your hand and I like had the whole family putting putting the the a hundred dollar bills in their hand and just counting money, smelling it and hearing it.

Speaker 1 44:00

And um, because we are in such a digital world we forget how important it is for visceral touch and for visceral um, the sensations that you feel. You know you engaging the senses and you know you can do a lot of visualizations with. You know your whatever you have, like your Stripe account, or like you know Kajabi for me or like whatever. You can see the numbers going up. You know you can have that goal and that visualization. Or you can see your bank account numbers going up. You know that's fun and all. But like you know what are you touching your phone, your computer, your keyboard. You know like there's. It's a different sensation. So if you have abundance in your life right now, go pull out a thousand dollars, just keep it on. You Keep playing with it, take some photos with it, just have fun with it. It is really just kind of silly, because we're all playing with monopoly money, that it carries so much weight in the US economy, but it is also really silly. Can we just be playful with it?

Speaker 2 45:13

Here's what I would suggest you do Grab your loved one. No, no, before you grab your loved one, go to the bank and pull out $1,000, $1,001 bills. Make sure they're brand new. They have to be brand new. Take that $1,000 and spread it all over your bed, toss your partner down and see what happens. Just see what happens. Just see what it's like to roll in abundance with your loved one, right? Maybe you'll have awesome dreams. Maybe you will have, you know, a tremendous amount of kids, and all these kids are going to be like CEOs and bankers and, you know, hedge fund managers, right, that's funny. Maybe you just need to roll around in the energy and abundance just to get the taste of it.

Speaker 2 46:01

And I remember one of my first ceremonies that I ever did was taught by my granny, right? I graduated college and I was like, okay, I'm going to go out and start looking for jobs. And I had a new suit. She bought me a new suit. She was all proud of me. And she's like okay, mike, every time you go in for an interview, just before you sit down, have like a dollar bill in your pocket and smell it. Just smell money, right, just smell it. Put it back in your pocket and go into your interview. And I did that and every time I did that I got the job that I wanted.

Speaker 1 46:39

Was it $1 or was it lots of dollars?

Speaker 2 46:42

It could be any, it's just money. It's just the smell of money. It could be a $20 bill it could be a $100 bill. Not pennies. No, not quarters. Pennies have a stank right yeah you don't want to walk in with your, you know a big old.

Speaker 1 46:54

Your pants are all sagging. The janitor sound.

Speaker 2 46:58

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 46:59

The keys are pennies.

Speaker 2 47:02

And the laying down on the bed of money only works with new dollar bills. You don't want to lay on old gross money, you know, because there's weird energy in money. I like my money nice and clean.

Speaker 1 47:14

You want crisp. I like the crispness. You want it just to be printed.

Speaker 2 47:17

Like crispness and bills only Quarters, pennies, nickels. No, no, no no, that's going to leave bruises. Yeah, you know what I mean. It's going to stain your sheets. You may get like nickel, you know intoxication. But dollar bills, good times. Dollar, dollar bills, y'all. Yeah, see, that's programming. Have yourself your own indecent proposal just give yourself a million dollars play some sade sleep with me yeah, we're gonna have a good time.

Speaker 1 47:48

Actually, that's a good time, I'm gonna you're gonna pull out a million dollars and I'm not gonna be that going to pull out a million dollars and. Oh. I'm not going to be able to Propose to me.

Speaker 2 47:55

A million dollars.

Speaker 1 47:56

Make it indecent proposal.

Speaker 2 47:59

It wouldn't be a million one dollar bills.

Speaker 1 48:01

No, no, no.

Speaker 2 48:02

Because that would.

Speaker 1 48:03

Not a million one dollar bills. We'd just be swimming in it. Have a four.

Speaker 2 48:10

That might become a fire risk.

Speaker 1 48:13
