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.

Plan Your Income Streams & Crush Your Financial Goals for 2018 – Workshop Replay

Have you ever been so relieved that you instantly felt your shoulders fall, your whole body lighten and a little glow appear around you?

Yes?

Well thank you because you have just confirmed to me that it happens to all of us. We get wound up and stressed about things that we should have done, that we have been meaning to do, and we hold onto that in our taken for granted bodies without even realising it sometimes.

So what happened on my online workshop last night, was lots of relaxed shoulders and easy breathing as we created a path and concrete actions for more income to be created in your world for 2018. (We sorted big dreams, created a step by step roadmap to your income goals, and I shared how to implement a new income stream within the next 24 hours!)

Also I unveiled a one of the most useful 1:1 services I have offered this year!

Check out the replay below and hurry up because this train will be leaving the station in just 36 hours!

This Choo-Choo train also takes with you the opportunity to work 1:1 with me AND have me create your bespoke income roadmap, which really will leave you floating on air for 2018!

Here’s your actions!

Watch the workshop below!

2) And please then raise your hand if:

You want to take an anxious peak at your numbers in your business but it makes you feel vulnerable and embarrassed because you just don’t know where to start.

YES!

You’d rather stab yourself in the eye than deal with a spreadsheet….

YES!

Would like to have a highly effective bespoke step by step plan done for you so that you can be secure in knowing exactly where you will be generating your income from in 2018, in more ways than you do currently, without adding crazily to your workload?

YES!

Then the Bespoke Smash Your Income Streams Roadmap Session is for you.

There is no other done for you service out that that has my unique blend of practical and mindset support that will get you from worrying about where you are to confident and creating for 2018.

I’ve created this 1:1 session and bespoke roadmap document (done for you) with you in the mind…. The service provider, the holistic practitioner, the consultant, the coach, the break free from the 9-5’er who is:

Sick and tired of earning the same old money doing the same old thing.
Wants to break free from the terror of rollercoaster income
Is just done with exchanging their time for money
Wants to live with the feeling that they are on the right path with the satisfying ping of money coming into their bank account and being rewarded for the gifts that they offer.

So if you are done trying to do this all yourself, or cobbling together tactics from 5 million different places then here is my very decent proposition….

Here’s how to know you are going to have multiple income streams in place for 2018 and have income as smooth as Sean Connery’s Scottish drawl.

Stressed about planning? Two super tools to get your brain in the right groove

It’s that time of year where everything is geared toward us making the most of the fading moments of the year and barreling us fast toward Christmas.

It can be all to easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of it all and push our plans for our income for 2018 aside. Maybe it feels too overwhelming, maybe it feels like you should have done it ages ago, maybe it feels like you just can’t look at any numbers.

Whatever it is I want you to leave that feeling aside for just a moment and take one minute to yourself.

Getting calm enough to plan

I came across this fabulous gallery of mindfulness pictures yesterday when I was coaching a fellow coach. (Yes coaches need coaches – we know it works!). All you need is one minute and you will simply feel your brain reset to calm and opens. My favourite its below. You can choose your favourite here.

Revving up for planning

On the flip side when we feel think we might want to do some planning but can’t seem to get started here are six ways to psychological ways to start revving your engine!

I particularly love the Zeigarnik effect. The idea that even if you do one tiny thing toward a project the rest will follow, based on the premise that we hate to leave things unfinished.

The Zeigarnik effect in action

Here is a tiny thing you can do to start planning your income streams for 2018 so that you can smash your financial goals. Register for my FREE online workshop, being held on Tuesday 12th December, where we will be aligning your income streams with your biggest dreams, creating a roadmap for your income and I’ll also be sharing with you one way you can add a new income stream to within 24 hours to your life.

You can register right here. Your brain and income will thank you for it!

boy-633014_640

When I came across Dorothy at The Sane Mom I thought whoa there….I’m needing some of that…! Parenthood is certainly one of my biggest challenges – it’s a ball but it’s a juggling act sometimes too. Just having a chat with Dorothy brought a little zone of calm into my life PLUS she loves a cup of tea so is always going to warm my British heart when we get onto that subject…

So if you want to know the how you should be talking to your kiddies about money (even the little munchkins) AND you want some money and relationship tips too head over to The Sane Mom and catch my podcast now.

Lost without a map? How to create more money flow

I’m a little old school and still don’t have a sat nav. Gasp! There is the wiring for it but somehow I keep telling myself I’ve got this…

I prefer to think that I know what I’m doing. That I can follow the signs and for the occasional time I might need it there is always a work around….

That work around normally involves me driving for a good few miles in what I hope is the right direction, typically down a narrow country lane, with the foliage so overgrown, you wouldn’t know if a ten ton truck was heading toward you.

You’ll see me frantically looking for a safe place to pull over whilst simultaneously praying that the phone has some signal. Yep I cave in, I need a little help – google maps!

Now this doesn’t happen once, but twice or on a bad day three times….. And guess what? I’m stressed and late to wherever it is I’m going.

Being lost without a map is like being on holiday and knowing all the things you want to see and do but having no idea how to get there. You keep cobbling things together to hope it will all work out if you turn this corner or that corner, that the answer will be there but it doesn’t quite happen.

And this is how most of us treat our financial life.

We are pretty certain that we should be grown up enough to know this money thing by now – so why would we need a “Sat Nav”. Best off to rely on our intuition alone and hope that we get to the destination.

I’m here to tell you now, that it can work out some of the time, but I promise you, you could get where you want to go a lot faster and smoother if you allowed yourselves some guidance. (Take your own medicine Caroline!)

So how do you get that guidance? Here are my top 5 ways of sorting your financial roadmap, both on a practical and a mindset level. (You got to address both – like a jigsaw puzzle it doesn’t work with just the edges or the middle)

Use your intuition

Your intuition can be useful to get you where you want to go when you deploy it well. We always can create more money flow when we work within our zone of genius – the bit that feels great! When you come across something that works really well for you – do more of it. One the same token if it doesn’t feel right it probably isn’t, so it’s time to turn those indicators on and make a change.

Use the signs

We can get further if we have some pointers along the way. We might not still be able to finally get to our destination but you can add to your knowledge bank. Challenge yourself to do one thing that will change your money mindset each day – here are free resources for you to do just that.

Use the A-Z

The good old fashioned paperback A-Z. Well worn where you have had to look at the little streets so many times, turning it round and round in your hands to try an orientate yourself. Somehow though we still love the feel of a book in our hands – check out my favourite finance books here.

Use the Sat Nav

Love a bit of tech? Check out the sat-nav I have set up for you. Your online roadmap to up-level your income, upgrade your life, and being money confident. Get where you want to go fast.

Have a co-driver

Sometimes it’s just easier to talk it through and have someone else do the thinking with you. Check out how to work personally with me here.

Caroline!

P.s I’m off to order that shiny new Sat Nav!. (Time to use some of savings to spend jar)

P.p.s. Join us for the 5 day LIVE training to clear your money blocks. I want you to feel the sand between your toes, book in that magic fairy of a cleaner, and stop wading through treacle with your finances. It’s your time to feel better about money. Register now!
