Tipping the Balance – How to protect your mental health and create a healthy income even if you are not working

I was delighted to be asked to be a guest on Tipping the Balance with the lovely Katie Hickey.

Katie podcast in based around the idea that we can all admit to wishing we had more balance in our lives.

I don’t know about you but how many times have you said, “I just don’t have the right balance at the moment.”

Maybe you think you need to work less, have more (or less!) time with your children, get outside more, exercise more, eat more healthily. What ever it is you and almost everyone else has an idea of what balance means to them, their lives and their mental health.

Her podcast Tipping the Balance, explores these concepts with a range of different people. Parents, business owners, people living with grief, overcoming abuse, mental health specialists.

Hopefully you can listen to these shows and feel in someway you have spent time tipping the balance in favour of your own mental health. You can find Katie on instagram @thebalanceddoula.

The episode that I am part of we discuss all things money. How can we get the balance right with working, managing homes and childcare whilst also working towards financial freedom? I provide some mindset and as ever practical action steps you can take.

Take a listen right now to debunk the myths around money, be empowered financially as a women, and get those important practical steps to financial freedom.

Millionaire Journey Update with actions you can swipe!

In January I told you I was embarking on a journey with Joanna Hunter in her Million Dollar Experiment.She wants to find out how many MillIonaires she can help make through changing peoples mindset, helping them use their intuition and encouraging practical action. All concepts that are dear to my heart – I’m always talking about mindset change with practical action. You need both!

For me the definition of Millionaire that I’m desiring is to bring in £1,000,000 of money into my life this year.

So what’s been working? And, bonus! What’s not!

Mindset
I DESIRE TO BE A MILLIONAIRE. Try it on for size… it’s a very different quality to I NEED or I WANT.

GRATITUDE – I’ve always done gratitude but actually I’ve stepped up my game this year. I recommend this app – it’s got amazing prompts which move you away from the same same of I’m grateful for x,y,z.

VISUALISATION – I spend time thinking about being that millionaire. What it feels like, what experiences I’ll be having. I have a new vision board.

LIMITING BELIEFS – As I work through the practical actions below they have already raised some limiting beliefs for me. I’ve raised my awareness at the first level and done work to change my thinking.

READING – I’m currently 2/3rds of the way through Joanna’s book as well as listening to Untamed on audible.

These might seem like everyday things to do, but ask yourself are you applying them consistently to your life? If not, do it and you will feel shift.

Practical Action
Did you know you are just 20 steps away from being a Millionaire?

Yes, just 20!

I’ll give you the first 7 as that’s where I’m at. A heady combo of homeschooling little Miss and chasing after speedy gonalez 10 month old champion crawler has meant I’ve looked to my passive income streams and investments as ways to build my million. I’ve looked at creating new income at these steps, not relying on existing income that was coming anyway.

How many of you are home schooling right now and juggling other responsibilities? I’ve seen the Millionaire experiment as something fun, a game (with a very desirable outcome) so it’s slotted into my day as an when I’ve want it to, but trust me I haven’t had hours to spend on it.

The steps themselves are based upon the idea of doubling your money each time. It’s interesting how each step can bring up mindset blocks. You can either use the money to make more money, or add to what you already have. Either way for me I want my running total to equal the step I’m on.

STEP ONE
Turn £1 into £2.
I was going to ask my hubby to swap me a pound for two pounds. I got slightly triggered at this! I think I will have to learn to ask for help along the way. So instead did it myself with a small forex trade.

STEP TWO
£2 to £4
I had lots of ideas here, but then I read it’s ok to repeat what works. Another forex trade!

STEP THREE
£4 to £8
I promoted my Amazon product which resulted in an additional sale.

STEP FOUR
£8 to £16
I sold baby fleecy sleeping bags I’d got for free but no longer needed.

STEP FIVE
£16 to £32
Sold some baby clothes, spent some time trading.

STEP SIX
£32 to £64
I promoted my Amazon product again, sold some more baby clothes and a mirror that was gathering dust in the garage. Although I’d spent money on the mirror many moons ago, I figured bringing the money back into circulation to be used for something else was a good thing.

STEP SEVEN
£64 to £128
I chased up some affiliate income I thought I was due – turns out I was!

So at all steps I took action to increase my income. I’d didn’t just wait and see what might come my way!

Granted as we get to bigger figures I’ll need grander ideas!

So do you want to help me complete the next step?

I’ve a money off deal for you.

I have a super useful e-book and done for you planner, the Money Buddy.- The guide to Mindful spending.

Perfect if you know you need to get your day to day and month to month finances in order but feel allergic to budgets. I know you have the sinking feeling each month that you could be making this work easier for you, well the money buddy helps you do just that. No more what happened to the money this month!

I’ll level with you – I desire a further £40 into my millionaire income pot to complete the next step (I already have some toward it) so I have this promo available for just 8 money buddies. Normally the Money Buddy money organisation system is £14.97 but you can get £10 off at this link. (Scroll down to wait before you go once you’ve hit the link)

AND if you are one of those 8 as a special bonus I’ll pop in email support for the first 7 days whilst you are going through the system.

I’ll update you next month on my progress!

Missing in Action

OK there isn’t any other way to say this so I will come right out and say it.

I’ve missed you.

I’ve missed being part of your money mindset journey. Life got taken over since Summer 19! Yep not even got the COVID excuse….

What happened is that I got pregnant with my longed for second baby. Very exciting but daunting times as the blood condition I have just wouldn’t get under control. The little man arrived safely however in March this year and we got to leave neo-natal just as the first lockdown hit. It’s been a strange year, and like us all I’ve had my highs and lows.

I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch.

Should you be saving to buy a house? Or is it the last thing you should be doing?

I was recently interviewed by Chrissie Wood from the fabulous website Split The Bills which has a service which literally helps you split the bills when you live with a group of people – takes away the money stress when one person doesn’t pay or you are the one who’s always taking responsibility! Or maybe you have a young adult in your life who recently moved in with others? Then this website is for them.

They have useful articles on ALL things money that affect the younger generation. I’m 42 so I guess I get to say that now!

Two wealth experts and I were posed questions that would interest Millennials such as should you save for a house? How do you balance fun and saving? Is it impossible to live in anything but the now and gin?

Find out the answers over at Split The Bills.
