Over 70% of all Canadians are in debt, according to Statistics Canada, and yet most of us are not talking about it.
In this week’s episode of the podcast I talk about debt shame, my personal experience with debt and how to navigate the shame in a healthy way so you can make the best decisions about your debt.
You’ll learn two techniques that are going to help alleviate the shame around any debt that you have so that you can make healthy decisions about the situation that you’re in.
Aja Dang’s wake up call was in 2017 when her beloved Cockapoo, Luke, needed emergency surgery and if her boyfriend hadn’t had the money, she would have lost her dog. She was 30 years old and in $200K of crippling student loan debt. Up to that point, she hadn’t really believed that she could pay it off, didn’t know what to and basically was trying not to think about it.
Your money beliefs have very little to do with money. They have to do with things like self-worth, survival, and feeling like a fraud.
Some of my clients’ money beliefs are, “It’s my duty to take care of everyone and everything (and not get paid that much for it.)” “When I was a child, I was neglected and my parents didn’t come when I needed them. Now clients won’t come. They’re not coming. It’s not going to work.”
Does a unexpected financial challenge trigger you into fight or flight? You go from relatively calm to totally freaked out?
I understand what this feels like and so in this podcast episode I’ll lead you through an exercise that will help you get to the root cause of your money blocks and how to start to let them go so you can live a life that’s more free and where it’s easy for you to attract more money and more abundance.

Self-sabotage can affect any area of your life and sometimes you’ll find it happening to your business.
It can look like:
Over-Busyness Being too busy to respond to new customers in a timely manner and then forgetting to reply at all.
Hurrying
When a workshop doesn’t work the first time, completely changing topics instead of looking at what didn’t work. Or changing a marketing strategy before you’ve had time to tweak it, make it better and make it work for your ideal client.
People Pleasing
Doing whatever potential clients ask you for as opposed to creating a vision and a program that you absolutely love and believe in.
Perfectionism
Not launching or putting your new product or website out there because it’s “not ready yet” as opposed to launching even before it’s perfect to test it and make it better.
I didn’t grow up poor but we weren’t super rich either. When I was little my dad was in grad school and my mom couldn’t work because we were in the US. We survived on a grad students salary.
Then he got a post-doc but my mom still couldn’t work, so things were tight.
We always had food and a safe place to live but we rarely went out to dinner or to the movies.
Here’s the deal. If you’re going to create an AMAZING business, fear is absolutely going to be apart of it.
You can’t accomplish great things and help a lot of people without taking risks. And so if you’re an entrepreneur, you’re going to be scared some of the time. And that’s a GOOD THING. It means you’re breaking new ground, taking risks, creating something you’ve never created before.
Fear is UNAVOIDABLE, so the way you react to your fear determines EVERYTHING. This podcast will teach you what to do when your fear comes up so that your relationship with your fear helps you to BUILD your business.
You’re building a business that you’re going to love working in, that creates financial stability and abundance for you and that deeply impacts your customers. And intuition can help you do exactly that.
There’s one crucial step you need to take to really make your intuition effective when running your business and so I’m running a webinar on this exact topic this Monday at 1 pm EST.
Before I dive in, I wanted to let you know I’m running a FREE webinar on What’s Stopping You From Getting More Clients on Monday. Would love to see you there. Details to sign up below.
Also a Money Blocks workshop for Female-Identified Entrepreneurs that’s happening early February. All details below! Getting more clients starts with taking care of you! You are your most valuable asset, so taking care of yourself is absolutely critical.
The good news is, if you’re not making as much money as you want to be, this is something that’s totally change-able.
Now, you can learn to make more money from a fear driven place but in this podcast episode you’re going to learn a different way to make more money.
It’s an inside job to learn how to believe in yourself and take the action required to make more money.
The cool thing is that as you learn this, you’ll become more confident in every area of your life.
