In this weeks episode I welcome Mindset Coach, Bekah Donovan who I recently stumbled across and absolutely loved.
Understanding oneself and uncovering limiting beliefs are crucial for living a fulfilling life.Challenging the lies we tell ourselves and exploring our money beliefs can lead to positive change.Fear of judgment often holds us back from taking action and making necessary changes.Acceptance of our current situation and prioritisation of our values are important steps towards a desired future.Materialism and the need for external validation can hinder true happiness, while self-acceptance is key. Managing money requires the right mindset and a willingness to analyse and adjust spending habits.Accepting the phase of life you're in and making choices accordingly is important for personal fulfilment.The 'burn the bridges' mentality can be dangerous and should be approached with caution.
This is a no BS approach to getting your mind right when it comes to money, life in general and your career.
