If someone wasn't raised around the language of money and they weren't in an environment or a household that spoke about it in a good way, maybe they said money, you know, rich people are mean or bad people, or their parents always got angry when they saw someone who had money on TV and associated wealth with... a bad person.
Yes.
How do they break that mindset that not all wealthy people are bad people?
Yeah. Well, challenge that belief, right? The way that we change our thinking is to challenge those beliefs. So like literally write down the thing that you believe and then, you know, write down all the evidence that you can collect. That tells you the opposite. Like, that's how we change our mindset. Right. You know, so if I'm telling myself I'm not smart, I can collect all the evidence.
Well, I graduated from law school. I graduated from undergrad summa cum laude. Right. Like, actually, there's evidence that I am smart. You know, let me point that out.
So I think it's being a lawyer of your life.
Yeah.

Chapter 2: How can you challenge limiting money beliefs?
I would say like, they should ask themselves, what do I love about myself? Like I'm funny, I'm smart, I'm strategic, I have great fashion sense. Whatever it is, what is something that you love about yourself and think about how you're bringing that energy to that room. And just recognize that that is a lie and it is a practice. I used to be such a mean girl to myself in my head every single day.
I said that I was not smart, stupid. You know, I said that like, I can't figure this out. I'm bad at business. I'm not good at making money. I'm not good at practicing law, which is what I did before, you know, my current business. Like I would, I would, I'm a bad mother. Like, I mean, I said every cruel thing that I could possibly say.
What did that do for you?
I mean, it made me feel bad, right? Like it made me feel bad and it made me wanna go get under the covers for three days. And sometimes I did, right? And then I would get my back up and go back to work because I had to, because I had kids to support, but I would do that too. And what helped is meeting women who believe in themselves and just being around that energy.
It's just like that energy is gonna bring you along. Because I think sometimes we think like, oh, I have to do all of this in my head. And once I fix it in my head, then I can go be around people. No, no, no. You need to go be around people because that's what's going to fix it. You know, being in that environment, our community, our environment, it affects us so much. It does.
So it's so crucially important to be surrounded by positive people who believe in possibility. Yes.
so that's what i would say and when i'm going to enter rooms like i go into intimidating rooms all the time and i think now i just think like i'm just gonna be myself and if myself isn't good enough in this room then i don't want to be in this room right next you know next room next room do you think money buys us happiness No, I think.
But I think it buys a roof over your head, which is happiness. Right. Like so, you know, sometimes people when people talk about like money doesn't matter or whatever, I'm not beholden to money or they think it's a moral high ground to act like I don't care about money. Right.
So like you feel better about yourself because you don't care about money and your nose is in there because you don't care about money. I'm just like this is a person who has never been poor. You know, like this is a person who is not aware of the real reality. economic situation for so many people.
