In today’s episode, I am so proud and honored and humbled to be bringing you this incredible story of an amazing woman, Chantel McAlister. Chantel is a rural photographer and I’ve been lucky enough to do some coaching with her and watch her grow and expand and hustle and bring her dreams to life in the most magnificent way possible.

It is such an amazing story and I encourage you to listen to it to the very end. It is about business, chasing dreams, figuring out what works, and how to do it.

Chantel and I signed up for coaching before COVID and we started planning out a business and the workshop she was running, she was ready to scale and to grow and then COVID hit and I remember the day Chantel called me and asked for help and she will tell the story. Chantel was so generous in her honesty and her exact numbers and what she did and how she did it and it’s an absolute testimony to why she’s had this success because she's a generous, humble, and hard-working woman who has a dream and wasn’t prepared to not make it work.

In today’s episode, I’m going to cover one of the most popular topics, one of the most relevant topics to business but also one of the most emotional and touchy subjects in business which is money and money mindset and charging inside your business. I’m going to cover some common myths around money and charging in your business and share with you some of the frequently asked questions that I get from coaching clients around earning more in their business.

In this episode, I have a very special guest and a friend of mine, Rache. Rache is a qualified hypnotherapist and rapid transformational therapist. She has some incredible insights into the brain and our wiring, beliefs, and where all they come from. We’re going to dive into my favorite topic: limiting beliefs.

I’m excited to share with you Rache and her wisdom because she speaks in such an articulate way about what’s actually happening in the brain, and how we can start to identify where we might be holding ourselves back and also break up from those beliefs and rewire them.

Today’s topic is pretty popular and something I get asked about all the time. I personally experienced this one and I thought it’s good to bust the myths and share some personal experience so that others will know that we are all struggling with it. This topic is confidence and self-belief.

Today I will talk about how to fight negative thoughts, the myths, a few of my favorite hacks, and different tips and tricks to hack your confidence and self-belief. I also share what I advise my coaching clients when there’s a bit of self-doubt.
