Episode #179: Changing our Relationship with Money with Karen Choi

Apr 28, 2022

Money is the root of all evil.

I’m not good with money.

It’s not polite to talk about money.

Many women entrepreneurs subscribe to these negative beliefs, even if it’s unconscious. We want money, but we can feel disconnected from the idea of actually making it. If we think about wealth, we picture it belonging to people who don’t look like us. These beliefs are shaped in our childhoods and have a powerful effect on the way that we relate to money throughout our lives… and in the way we run our businesses. Many women are actually resistant to the idea of earning more revenue than what they need to survive!

If thinking about money makes you feel scared, uncomfortable, or ashamed, then it’s time for you to heal your money mindset.

In this episode, I talk to authenticity coach Karen Choi about how to develop a healthy relationship with money, feel more confident in pursuing wealth, and empower our children with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive financially.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll learn:‌ ‌

How generational, cultural, and religious beliefs impact the way that you think about money — and how to heal your family’s money mindset
How to turn a wish for more revenue into action items or habits that will help you get there
How to take a joyful, aligned approach to money and make earning (and managing it) fun!
