1:05
Speaker 3: Here's your host and weekly friend, Jennifer Jose.
1:09
Speaker 2: Welcome back, So glad you're here. This is going to
1:12
Speaker 2: be a really great show. This is part of the
1:15
Speaker 2: seven Money Wounds series. I don't know that sounds good,
1:18
Speaker 2: doesn't sound positive, sounds all yucky, but I promise you
1:21
Speaker 2: tex us all just saying today we're going to talk
1:24
Speaker 2: about trust. This is a hard one, especially for women
1:29
Speaker 2: have been betrayed, cheated on, lost money, divorced, childhood, sucked,
1:34
Speaker 2: whatever it might be. Trust is a tough one. I've
1:37
Speaker 2: heard from many women. I'm just not good with money.
1:42
Speaker 2: Have you ever said that, Have you ever made a
1:44
Speaker 2: bad investment? Maybe you trusted someone that you shouldn't have.
1:48
Speaker 2: I actually had a gal come to me one time
1:50
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. She gave this guy,
1:52
Speaker 2: some guy. You know, there's always some guy out there,
1:55
Speaker 2: and she came to me. She came to my wine,
1:58
Speaker 2: women and wealth thing that I had years ago, and
2:01
Speaker 2: she we were trying to figure out how to get
2:03
Speaker 2: that money back. Literally gave it to some guy like
2:05
Speaker 2: literally wrote to check out to his name, and of
2:07
Speaker 2: course she couldn't get it back. It was long gone.
2:10
Speaker 2: And talk about a sense of betrayal. She had to
2:14
Speaker 2: forgive herself for not being educated around this guy and
2:18
Speaker 2: calling for something in order for her to ever have
2:20
Speaker 2: a financial life again. Right, So, maybe you stayed in
2:24
Speaker 2: a relationship where someone gave you control of the finances
2:27
Speaker 2: or took your control from the finance. Maybe you stayed
2:29
Speaker 2: in a relationship too long. Maybe you ignored red flags
2:33
Speaker 2: before you got into a relationship. Maybe you accumulated debt
2:36
Speaker 2: like in college or in your twenties, and you don't
2:40
Speaker 2: ever want to feel that way again. Maybe you sold
2:42
Speaker 2: an investment at the wrong time and lost so much money.
2:46
Speaker 2: Maybe you made a financial decision that you just cringe
2:51
Speaker 2: when you think about. That's like one of the first
2:53
Speaker 2: things that I have people do when they come into
2:54
Speaker 2: my coaching program is look back at your financial roles
2:57
Speaker 2: or anything that you'd like to change. I don't like
2:59
Speaker 2: the word regret because it's always taught us something. But
3:03
Speaker 2: we want to look at that because that's still in
3:04
Speaker 2: our body, right, It's in our muscles, that's in our psyche,
3:08
Speaker 2: and it still affects us every decision that we make
3:12
Speaker 2: because we keep thinking, oh, I made a bad decision,
3:15
Speaker 2: and we start saying, now I make bad decisions all
3:17
Speaker 2: the time, or I can't make good decisions. The two
3:20
Speaker 2: statements are completely different one means I have made a
3:25
Speaker 2: bad decision in the path, or I am just bad
3:29
Speaker 2: at making decisions altogether. So that's when we need to
3:32
Speaker 2: change some things. The other one becomes part of your identity.
3:35
Speaker 2: You take it on yourself as I just make bad
3:38
Speaker 2: decisions versus that was just a bad decision that I made.
3:41
Speaker 2: And the trust money wound begins is when we stop
3:46
Speaker 2: trusting ourselves. So trust is such an interesting money wound
3:50
Speaker 2: because it often hides underneath other behaviors. Maybe you research
3:54
Speaker 2: everything to death right. Maybe you learn all the article
3:58
Speaker 2: you read, all the articles you learn from your friends,
4:00
Speaker 2: You ask a bunch of people, you even sit down
4:02
Speaker 2: with several financial advisors. I've just spent time with this
4:06
Speaker 2: lady who has two financial advisors that she says she
4:08
Speaker 2: doesn't trust. I spent hours with her, several appointments, gave
4:13
Speaker 2: her many opinions and everything that I have planned for her.
4:17
Speaker 2: She immediately makes more money, it is definitely better off
4:21
Speaker 2: in the future, and she still doesn't trust. So she's
4:25
Speaker 2: still with the other people, which is totally great. But
4:28
Speaker 2: I know there, I've done my job right and I've
4:31
Speaker 2: shown her another a different way. So we have to
4:34
Speaker 2: look at our trust issues back in the day. Then
4:38
Speaker 2: sometimes we even lie awake at night and we ruminate
4:41
Speaker 2: over the decisions that we've made. Maybe I should have
4:43
Speaker 2: done this, Maybe I should have done that. Maybe I
4:45
Speaker 2: should have got more advice, Maybe I should have got
4:47
Speaker 2: any advice. But there's always a difference between gathering information
4:51
Speaker 2: and handing somebody else's responsibility over your life. When you've
4:54
Speaker 2: become so afraid of making the wrong decision, you just
4:57
Speaker 2: make no decision at all. And this is where costs
5:00
Speaker 2: people time, money, It costs people's stress. And I'm all
5:03
Speaker 2: about our health right. I do not need to be
5:05
Speaker 2: more stressed than my life provides. So let's talk about this.
5:10
Speaker 2: I don't think we talk about her enough when we're
5:12
Speaker 2: making decisions. It's difficult when we're leaving our money sitting
5:16
Speaker 2: somewhere because we're afraid to invest it. That is a decision.
5:20
Speaker 2: When we're staying in a bad relationship and we know
5:23
Speaker 2: it's not good, but we stay, we say for many reasons,
5:27
Speaker 2: that is a decision you're choosing if you're in a relationship,
5:31
Speaker 2: if you're in a house and a job, in a car,
5:33
Speaker 2: in anything. Every day you wake up and you do
5:36
Speaker 2: the same thing over again. You're making a decision to
5:38
Speaker 2: keep that in your life. When you have friends, maybe
5:41
Speaker 2: you don't feel so great about the friends. Maybe even
5:44
Speaker 2: you are doing a monthly dinner with a bunch of friends,
5:49
Speaker 2: or a monthly workout schedule or something. You go on
5:54
Speaker 2: vacation every year with a group of friends, but you
5:56
Speaker 2: really just don't enjoy it. It's not a priority for you.
6:00
Speaker 2: When we're doing that every time, when we really don't
6:02
Speaker 2: really want to be there, that is a decision. So
6:05
Speaker 2: avoidance does not protect us from consequences. You're avoid saying
6:10
Speaker 2: that I want to do this, or I'm changing my mind,
6:11
Speaker 2: or I'm getting out of the relationship. This is how
6:14
Speaker 2: the trust willed begins for someone in trust room starts
6:17
Speaker 2: with money, other women, it starts someplace health entirely. Someone
6:20
Speaker 2: could have betrayed you through a divorce. You might somebody
6:24
Speaker 2: might even hid money from you, maybe even lied about debt.
6:28
Speaker 2: Could have been seeing your parents fight about money. Your
6:31
Speaker 2: mom might you know, not show everything to your dad
6:35
Speaker 2: and know that it was generalizing. But sometimes spouses are
6:40
Speaker 2: not one percent honest with the other spouse of everything
6:44
Speaker 2: that they're spending, and they pass that on to their kids.
6:47
Speaker 2: Maybe you trust for a preferred professional, a financial, any
6:52
Speaker 2: type of professional, a doctor, it could be anything, and
6:56
Speaker 2: they steered you the wrong way, or else you felt
6:58
Speaker 2: like they gave you bad advice. Maybe you were taught
7:01
Speaker 2: that someone else was supposed to know much more than
7:03
Speaker 2: you and they're supposed to handle everything, and then you're
7:06
Speaker 2: not included in these decisions and in these conversations, and
7:09
Speaker 2: then things go awry, so then you do not feel trust.
7:13
Speaker 2: Maybe you just didn't understand investments, You didn't understand getting
7:16
Speaker 2: into this relationship. You didn't really know this person. There's
7:18
Speaker 2: so many ways that this shows up, but I know
7:21
Speaker 2: it's weird. I'm talking about trust as they money wound,
7:24
Speaker 2: and it can show up in the beginning as many
7:27
Speaker 2: other things, but it does flow over to your financial
7:31
Speaker 2: world and your relationship with money. Maybe you've signed up
7:35
Speaker 2: because things because someone actually told you to and you
7:39
Speaker 2: didn't even want to, and then one day, all of
7:41
Speaker 2: a sudden, you have to make the decisions. It can
7:44
Speaker 2: be terrifying, especially when you've spent many years thinking someone
7:48
Speaker 2: else did it for you, are knew better than you,
7:51
Speaker 2: and now you start blaming yourself. I should have known,
7:54
Speaker 2: I should have, educated, should have, would have, could have.
7:56
Speaker 2: I hear this every single day. I should know. I
7:59
Speaker 2: just met another lady. My husband handles everything. I don't
8:02
Speaker 2: know anything. You gotta knows some stuff, like ninety percent
8:07
Speaker 2: of women, well in this country and this in their generation,
8:11
Speaker 2: in their lifetime, will handle their money. Ninety percent of
8:15
Speaker 2: women will handle their money alone. So when we are
8:18
Speaker 2: giving everything over to our spouses and our financial advisors
8:22
Speaker 2: and maybe our families, wealthy families, you know, they have
8:26
Speaker 2: parents and their people take care of everything, and they
8:29
Speaker 2: don't know what's happening. I promise you. Ninety percent of
8:32
Speaker 2: women have to handle their money in one in their lifetime.
8:35
Speaker 2: So you still need to learn. You still need to know.
8:38
Speaker 2: Feeling that you betrayed yourself, Maybe you knew something wasn't
8:42
Speaker 2: right and you still did not act. Maybe you're blaming
8:45
Speaker 2: yourself or not asking more questions, or maybe God out
8:47
Speaker 2: of a relationship sooner, or maybe I should have paid
8:50
Speaker 2: attention more, missed instead of missing the red flags. All
8:54
Speaker 2: of these words could haunt us. Should have, would have,
8:56
Speaker 2: could it right? So we're not judging you at all
9:00
Speaker 2: right now, this is just the information that we have now.
9:04
Speaker 2: So when we know better, we can do better, right,
9:07
Speaker 2: and of course things look clearer in hindsight. Talk about parenting. Right,
9:11
Speaker 2: we can always look back at, oh, maybe I should
9:13
Speaker 2: do that, Maybe I should do that, Like we could
9:16
Speaker 2: always do that, But that's not how the story ends, right.
9:19
Speaker 2: So we want to look at where we're going. We
9:23
Speaker 2: want to make the decisions with knowledge and circumstances and
9:27
Speaker 2: emotions and resources that we have at the moment. So
9:31
Speaker 2: if you've never forgiven yourself, you may risk in the
9:35
Speaker 2: rest of your life trying to. So you got to
9:37
Speaker 2: let that go. It's an impossible standard not to make mistakes.
9:41
Speaker 2: We all make mistakes, and fear of getting it wrong
9:44
Speaker 2: will stop you in your tracks. We got to get
9:47
Speaker 2: rid of that fear. We're all going to make mistakes, always,
9:50
Speaker 2: every day, all the time. It's okay. We got to
9:52
Speaker 2: love ourselves through it. Here's what happens if you don't
9:55
Speaker 2: trust yourself. Every decision begins bigger than what it is.
9:58
Speaker 2: Should I should I go? Should I retire? Should I work?
10:02
Speaker 2: Should I help my child or not? Do I take
10:04
Speaker 2: Social Security? Do I spend money? What if I'm wrong?
10:07
Speaker 2: What if I regret it? What if something happens Oh
10:09
Speaker 2: my gosh, what if I gets it? What water? What right?
10:13
Speaker 2: This could go on and on and on and on.
10:15
Speaker 2: There's no question, there's no answer. There's no circumstance that's
10:21
Speaker 2: going to guarantee you that you're going to make the
10:24
Speaker 2: right decision every time. Nothing is going to guarantee you
10:27
Speaker 2: that every investment is going to work. Nothing is going
10:30
Speaker 2: to guarantee you that every relationship is going to work.
10:33
Speaker 2: Nothing is going to tell you and guarantee you that
10:35
Speaker 2: every house was going to be a good investment, or
10:37
Speaker 2: every car is a good idea, or every business opportunity
10:41
Speaker 2: is a good investment. Nothing is ever going to guarantee
10:45
Speaker 2: you that you're never going to lose money again. Trust
10:47
Speaker 2: isn't believing everything will work out exactly the way you planned.
10:51
Speaker 2: Trust is believing that if it doesn't, you're going to
10:54
Speaker 2: be okay. Let me retreat that. Trust is believing that
10:59
Speaker 2: if what you have planned doesn't work out, you are
11:04
Speaker 2: still going to be okay. That is huge. So why
11:08
Speaker 2: women sometimes give away their financial power. Let's talk about
11:12
Speaker 2: this for a minute. Sometimes we say the tess we're
11:15
Speaker 2: doing it without even realizing it. My husband handles that
11:17
Speaker 2: my business partner handles that. My advisor takes care of everything,
11:20
Speaker 2: my accountant knows everything, my son helps me with it. Oh,
11:23
Speaker 2: I just had this. I have a son that has
11:25
Speaker 2: been working with his parents for a while, and so
11:27
Speaker 2: now they're pulling out and they're going to go with
11:31
Speaker 2: their son, which is great. I love family involved and
11:34
Speaker 2: I absolutely do love that. However, they're doing it out
11:37
Speaker 2: of fear, which I want you to all do it
11:40
Speaker 2: out of choices and financial decisions, not being out of fear.
11:44
Speaker 2: So that makes me a little nervous. So when you
11:47
Speaker 2: have people helping you, I love, love, love it. I
11:49
Speaker 2: love to talk to beneficiaries. I love to talk to family.
11:52
Speaker 2: It's wonderful. But when it's being replacing your voice, that's
11:57
Speaker 2: when it gets scary. You don't have to know everything,
12:00
Speaker 2: and you don't have to understand every financial term. You
12:01
Speaker 2: don't have to know anything about this person that you
12:03
Speaker 2: just meant and that you want a date. You don't
12:05
Speaker 2: have to know absolutely everything, but you should understand enough
12:09
Speaker 2: either about your own financial life or about the person
12:11
Speaker 2: to know that you want to take the next step.
12:14
Speaker 2: And I don't understand that. It is a very easy question.
12:17
Speaker 2: I didn't understand that about you I didn't understand about that.
12:21
Speaker 2: Can you please plain it to me? Explain it? And
12:23
Speaker 2: Lucy's play it like that's okay, okay, Yeah, I love
12:26
Speaker 2: Lucy just saying it's not embarrassing. It's actually a powerful
12:30
Speaker 2: statement because you're trusting yourself, meaning that you do not
12:34
Speaker 2: know all the answers. The more we learn, the more
12:37
Speaker 2: we learn that we don't know anything because there's so
12:40
Speaker 2: much more to learn. Right, So here's a big one.
12:44
Speaker 2: Trust after a betrayal. Oh it's so hard. Now, what
12:48
Speaker 2: if someone really did portray you emotionally or financially. Maybe
12:53
Speaker 2: there is a huge hidden debt when you are figuring
12:57
Speaker 2: it out, or maybe someone completely betrayed your acts and
13:01
Speaker 2: cheated on you. Maybe even there's secret spending. Maybe there's infidelity,
13:05
Speaker 2: a business partner who wasn't honest. It could be a
13:07
Speaker 2: million things. Right, you desperately want to someone else to
13:13
Speaker 2: take over because you were so terrified at getting it
13:15
Speaker 2: wrong again. I totally understand that. Or maybe you're just
13:19
Speaker 2: not going to make any decisions whatsoever. I completely understand
13:22
Speaker 2: and I understand both extremes. You're trying to just get
13:25
Speaker 2: peaced in your life. And if you say these words,
13:29
Speaker 2: I'll never trust anyone again. No one can make a
13:31
Speaker 2: final decision for me ever. Again. These things are great,
13:35
Speaker 2: but we want to do it out of knowledge, not
13:37
Speaker 2: out of fear. The healthier place is I can listen
13:40
Speaker 2: to advice, I can ask questions, I can gather information,
13:44
Speaker 2: and still I can recognize that this might be a
13:47
Speaker 2: good thing for my life. Or I can voice my decision.
13:50
Speaker 2: Doesn't that sound so much better? I love that you
13:54
Speaker 2: are allowed to change your mind, y'all. We're never stuck.
13:58
Speaker 2: There's something else I wish more women gave themselves permission
14:02
Speaker 2: to do. Change your mind. It's okay. You are allowed.
14:06
Speaker 2: Changing your mind does not automatically mean that the first
14:08
Speaker 2: decision was wrong. So let's say you either got in
14:11
Speaker 2: a relationship, bought a car, a job, an investment, stock, whatever,
14:15
Speaker 2: and then circumstances change, and if you stay in that situation,
14:19
Speaker 2: you're choosing it again. Sometimes we need to say I'm
14:23
Speaker 2: not choosing it again. So I'm going to change my mind.
14:27
Speaker 2: And you can choose one path today and decide two
14:30
Speaker 2: years from now is another path tomorrow? You can change
14:33
Speaker 2: your mind. It is okay. It does not mean failure
14:37
Speaker 2: any means. This is human, and it's actually an intellectual
14:42
Speaker 2: human because that means you have more knowledge today than
14:45
Speaker 2: you did yesterday, which we all should, right. We put
14:49
Speaker 2: so much pressure on ourselves to make the perfect financial decision,
14:53
Speaker 2: or the perfect relationship decision, or the perfect business decision.
14:59
Speaker 2: Guess what does not exist any perfectionist recovering perfectionists out there.
15:03
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm with you, like it just does
15:07
Speaker 2: not happen. Financial plan isn't about predicting your entire life correctly.
15:12
Speaker 2: It's more about the best decision you can make today
15:15
Speaker 2: and adest in your life when it changes. Same thing
15:17
Speaker 2: with the relationship. Making that perfect decision today that this
15:21
Speaker 2: person is going to be my life forever. It's almost crazy, right,
15:25
Speaker 2: I mean, I know we signed up forever, but we're
15:27
Speaker 2: going to be different people a year from now, two years.
15:30
Speaker 2: You know. I just talked to a girl who wants
15:31
Speaker 2: to go through a divorce and she says, does they
15:34
Speaker 2: get easier? And I'm like, well, you're going to be
15:36
Speaker 2: a completely different person in a year from now than
15:37
Speaker 2: you are today. They never believe me until a year
15:39
Speaker 2: from now. Same with griefs. I've lost someone and I've
15:43
Speaker 2: helped them through that part. I'm like, Okay, you're going
15:46
Speaker 2: to be a completely different person in the year from now.
15:48
Speaker 2: It changes, It does not stay the same. That's thank
15:52
Speaker 2: you for my dad. Nothing is more certain in life
15:54
Speaker 2: than change. I promise you It changes every day, good,
15:58
Speaker 2: bad and indifferent. It changes. So if you're feeling I'm
16:03
Speaker 2: terrible with money, we can change this. Now we're going
16:06
Speaker 2: to say, show me the facts. Do you pay your
16:09
Speaker 2: bills on time? Have you built a career, did you
16:12
Speaker 2: raise a family, did you survive a divorce? Did you
16:14
Speaker 2: rebuilt after loss? Have you saved money? Did you make
16:17
Speaker 2: any good financial decisions? If not, do you ask for
16:21
Speaker 2: help when you need it? Do you get educated when
16:24
Speaker 2: you need it? Or are you sitting there just listening
16:27
Speaker 2: to podcasts becoming healthy with money? Yes, you are, because
16:30
Speaker 2: you're listening to Rockline Finances. So put that in the
16:33
Speaker 2: wind column, y'all. Rebuilding decision, rebuilding trust, one decision at
16:39
Speaker 2: a time. That is how we do it. We don't
16:41
Speaker 2: wake up tomorrow and suddenly feel one hundred percent confident
16:44
Speaker 2: and we're just amazing and all that. We actually rebuild
16:47
Speaker 2: it by being in action, through evidence of you making
16:51
Speaker 2: small decisions. Okay, you're gonna laugh. Make your bed, make
16:55
Speaker 2: your bed when you get up in the morning, and
16:56
Speaker 2: drink enough water that day, a lot of water. It's
16:59
Speaker 2: way more than you think. So there, that's trusting yourself
17:03
Speaker 2: to make good decisions, pay attention to what happens, learn
17:07
Speaker 2: from it, and then make another decision, and then another decision.
17:11
Speaker 2: Some will be great, some will be okay, some will
17:14
Speaker 2: be bad, doesn't matter. Every time, remind yourself I can
17:18
Speaker 2: deal with the outcome. This is how confidence grows. It's
17:23
Speaker 2: not from never making mistakes. We make mistakes all the time.
17:26
Speaker 2: It's from surviving them and learning from them. Just cooking.
17:31
Speaker 2: I've been cooking a lot lately. I make mistakes all
17:34
Speaker 2: the time. It's like, oh that did true, how as
17:35
Speaker 2: good as I liked it? Too? Okay, I've been making
17:37
Speaker 2: chicken and dumplings. I tried to make gluten free dumplings,
17:40
Speaker 2: egg dumplings, Bisquick dumplings, gluten free just bis Quick dumplings.
17:45
Speaker 2: I mean, like all these dumplings, what day I wanted
17:46
Speaker 2: to adducting taste off right, Some are good, some were
17:49
Speaker 2: not so good. So it was all just education, just information,
17:53
Speaker 2: that's all we're doing. Realizing that you are far more
17:57
Speaker 2: capable than you think you are, Shoe. We are so
18:02
Speaker 2: much more intelligent. And when we realize we have enough
18:05
Speaker 2: information and we can make a decision and feel it
18:08
Speaker 2: in our body and know that that's a feeling and
18:11
Speaker 2: that we're going to make a decision to feel confident,
18:14
Speaker 2: just lend you to so much more confidence. It's great.
18:17
Speaker 2: So this week your homework is thinking about the financial
18:21
Speaker 2: decisions that you've made that you're going to make. Look
18:25
Speaker 2: at the past some of the things that you've already
18:27
Speaker 2: made that you haven't forgiven yourself about. I have one
18:30
Speaker 2: that I talk about all the time. I accidentally let
18:34
Speaker 2: an employee I signed on the wrong side of my
18:38
Speaker 2: pink slip, and I ended up giving a car instead
18:40
Speaker 2: of signing as the loan person. And they literally drove
18:43
Speaker 2: across a couple of towns over and sold it, walked
18:46
Speaker 2: away with ten grand never got it. Sued them, they
18:48
Speaker 2: followed bankruptcy, never got it. So yeah, I had to
18:51
Speaker 2: forgive myself. That took me about three months to really
18:54
Speaker 2: really be actively forgiving myself for that. I was still
18:56
Speaker 2: mad at myself. Right now, what happened? Ask yourself these
18:59
Speaker 2: three questions? What did I know at the time. What
19:02
Speaker 2: did I know at the time? Why didn't I know?
19:06
Speaker 2: Or I'm sorry? What didn't I know yet? Like I
19:08
Speaker 2: didn't know she was pun on moving. I didn't know
19:10
Speaker 2: she was a shyster. She was a Christian, she was
19:12
Speaker 2: a Christian band. She went to the biggest churches in
19:14
Speaker 2: our town. Why would I think that she would ever
19:16
Speaker 2: betray me? Right? So, what didn't I know yet? I
19:19
Speaker 2: didn't know that they were in huge financial trouble that
19:22
Speaker 2: I didn't know. What was the feeling I made about
19:25
Speaker 2: that decision? Oh, so many feelings. I'm stupid. I can't
19:29
Speaker 2: make decisions. I trust too much, I give too freely.
19:33
Speaker 2: I'm so embarrassed here. I am supposed to be this
19:36
Speaker 2: intelligent woman and I went, and you know, I just
19:38
Speaker 2: felt so bad. So I was trying to feel safe,
19:41
Speaker 2: love accepted, secure, or in control? Was I trying to
19:44
Speaker 2: feel safe, love, accepted, secure, in control? I was trying
19:47
Speaker 2: to feel in control because I was trying to give
19:50
Speaker 2: her this, you know, my car and take the loan
19:54
Speaker 2: out for us. I was helping someone else. But I
19:57
Speaker 2: was just trying to be generous and I screwed up
19:59
Speaker 2: and I did it too fast. I was writing too fast.
20:02
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't take into consideration what's happening. I
20:05
Speaker 2: never read what I was doing, so I signed on
20:08
Speaker 2: the wrong side of the pink slip. So I was
20:10
Speaker 2: just being in a hurry and I was trying to
20:12
Speaker 2: be in control. So what did that experience teach me? Sign?
20:16
Speaker 2: Read what you sign first of all. And here's a
20:19
Speaker 2: big one for you. I've turned one financial mistake into
20:22
Speaker 2: evidence that I can't trust myself. No, no, no, no, no,
20:26
Speaker 2: we did not. Now I want you to write down
20:28
Speaker 2: three financial decisions you have made well right. They don't
20:32
Speaker 2: even have to be huge, it can be. I started saving.
20:35
Speaker 2: I paid off a credit card, I asked for a raise.
20:38
Speaker 2: I left a financial situation that wasn't good for me.
20:42
Speaker 2: I started investing. I bought my home. I asked, I
20:45
Speaker 2: asked for professional help. I asked my CPA questions all
20:49
Speaker 2: the time, like it's just constant, said no one. I
20:54
Speaker 2: actually said no to someone who asked me for money,
20:56
Speaker 2: and that I did feel good about because I did
20:59
Speaker 2: lend money before and I never got it twenty thousand rucks.
21:02
Speaker 2: Never got that again. So then they came back to
21:04
Speaker 2: me again and I said no, I did it the
21:06
Speaker 2: first time, and I won't do that again. So these
21:10
Speaker 2: good decisions count because they show us evidence that we
21:14
Speaker 2: can trust ourselves. And then finally, ask yourself, if I
21:18
Speaker 2: trusted myself completely, what financial decision would I stop avoiding?
21:23
Speaker 2: And what would I make today? You don't necessarily have
21:26
Speaker 2: to make the right decision, but just identify it. What
21:30
Speaker 2: decision would I make today if I truly trusted myself.
21:33
Speaker 2: So if someone has broke your trust, maybe your life
21:36
Speaker 2: didn't turn out the way it was. Maybe you could
21:40
Speaker 2: have changed things in the past. It's okay. I want
21:43
Speaker 2: you to start beginning trusting yourself now. Money stops feeling
21:47
Speaker 2: something that you fear and starts becoming something that you navigate,
21:51
Speaker 2: actually that you love. I want you to fall in
21:53
Speaker 2: love with your money. I want you to create a
21:55
Speaker 2: wonderful relationship with your money. I want you to love yourself,
21:59
Speaker 2: trust yourself, and your money world will follow. I promise you,
22:04
Speaker 2: when you do all of these things and you heal
22:05
Speaker 2: these seven wounds, you are going to be able to
22:08
Speaker 2: walk away every time. For my podcast, I want you
22:11
Speaker 2: all to be able to say I rock my finances.
