Changing Your Mindset For A Life of Abundance
Initial Introduction to Money
- Her parents split up when she was at a very young age.
- She grew up seeing these two worlds around money. Her mother has a more fluid relationship with money. Her father, on the other hand, is the complete opposite.
- She grew adopting her dad's fear-based thinking. Samantha felt like needs to protect her money, or else she's not going to be safe.
- Since then, she had to rewire everything in her system and rewire herself for wealth consciousness. Her parents’ money story is not hers.
The Lack Mentality and Wealth Mindset
- Money loves to circulate.
- We tend to hoard money because our mindset is rooted in scarcity and not having enough.
- When we are not certain with ourselves, we look at the external world to find something to make us feel safe.
- It is rooted in the feeling that we lack something.
- We've collectively decided that money keeps us safe, even though it doesn't at all.
Changing Your Mindset and Your Money Story
- You can teach yourself that you are rich, and money comes to you with ease and abundance.
- If our energy radiates "wanting," we are telling the universe that we lack something.
- Instead, you have to ask yourself, "What would the richest version of me do right now?"
Bringing Value to the World
- Your financial health is tied to your ability to expand your value to the world.
- It allows you to feel good, safe, and comfortable to create content and communicate your message.
- We need money to build, serve, transform lives, and raise the consciousness of the planet.
- We need to have a clean relationship with money. If our relationship with money is fractured, we're not allowing money to work with us. Instead, we are fighting it.
- Having money is about giving back and using it for the greater good.
Getting Rid of Conditional Self-Worth
- We link our bank accounts, the money we have, to our self-worth, which is the biggest trap and illusion.
- We are so worthy, regardless of what we have. Even if we lose everything tomorrow, we are still lovable and worthy.
5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode
- “I can teach myself, teach my body, that I am rich, I am wealthy, I am abundant, money comes to me with ease and abundance, and it flows in and out effortlessly. And I add value to the marketplace, and I get rewarded handsomely for that—and I woke up every single day, during this time, because I put my ass on the line.”
- “Do not look at your current reality and your bank account for evidence on where you're going, because that'll screw you up all day long. I had to fundamentally pretend I didn't exist in my reality; I don't really like the term fake it 'til you make it,’ but it's like, ‘be it until you become it.’”
- “When our relationship with money is so fractured, and we're like, "Money is the root of all evil,” and blah, blah, blah—we have all these associations—we're not allowing money to work with us. We're fighting it. Well, we can't do that and expect to have abundance. And it's not about being greedy, it's about giving back.”
- “And I think that's where we get so caught up and why we're so forced into hustling for our worth is because we have that link of ‘my bank account is inherently tied to my self worth,’ which is the biggest trap and illusion of all time—we are so worthy, regardless.”
- “I feel radically loved when I am committed to my joy. And in that process of me being committed to my joy, I feel like the universe just dotes on me and loves me to be like, ‘Thank you for honoring yourself, and thank you for bringing so much light to your system so that you can radiate it out.’”
