In today's ep, I'm breaking down why money is such an anxiety-inducing topic, and the different ways to ask for money, including asking for a raise, a family investment into your biz, a refund from an airline and more!PLUS, I spill the tea on the time I was in Australia and BROKE AF. I'm talking "living off a tax refund with maxed out credit cards and nannying for accommodation" broke. This experience taught me how feeling shame wasn't a luxury I could afford.What You'll Learn:Ancient anxiety: How THOUSANDS of years of money evolution hardwired financial insecurity into your DNAWhy It's So WEIRD to talk about money: The psychological mess of tying your net worth to your self-worth, plus cultural taboos that make salary talk feel like a federal crimeThe trust factor: Every financial transaction is a tiny negotiation of power, status, and "will this person screw me over?" - asking for money is about trustHow to ACTUALLY ask: stop with the "just wondering if maybe possibly..." passive word salad and start using active language like you mean itThe Harvard hack: One word that increases compliance by 60% My Rock Bottom Era: That time I was so broke in Australia I DM'd literally everyone I'd ever met to sell $15 yoga classes (and it worked)!My ask for you this week?
