The Light Seekers' Lounge

Money can hold so much shame, discomfort and embarrassment for many of us. Which is interesting. At the end of the day, money is simply an object like a coin or a dollar bill or numbers on a screen. It’s information. But the meaning that we attribute to that money can be SO loaded, can’t it? We all think about money in different ways, have different beliefs, attitudes and feelings towards money, we have different narratives around money and this is often referred to as our ‘money stories.’ Our money stories can be playing out from our subconscious mind and influencing our decisions without us even realising what they are. How are your money stories playing out in your life? Have a listen to this episode where I share examples of where your money stories might be driving your financial decisions.

Welcome to Episode #100! 🥳 It's been a while since my husband, Ben Love, was on the podcast, so I invited him back to celebrate our 100th episode of The Light Seekers' Lounge. A lot has changed for us as a family (and the world!) since we last recorded an episode together (episode #4, back in May 2020). We have celebrated a number of milestones this year, but celebrating the exciting, shiny moments doesn't mean there isn't also hard stuff that happens alongside it - so we had a real, raw and honest conversation around how we hold that duality of life and the lessons we've learned over the past few years. In this conversation, Ben and I discuss: Episode #4“If I love us, I have to want us to evolve more than I want us to stay comfortable.” - Chani app Also mentioned in this episode: The Untethered Soul, by Michael A Singer I'd love you to join The Light Seekers' Lounge Facebook group and continue the conversation!

Do you know what your core values are? Understanding our core values, and living in alignment with them, can be so powerful. When we know what's truly important to us, it can help us make decisions, give us more self-trust and confidence, mean that it's easier to plan for the future, as well as giving us a sense of peace and wellbeing. Where do our core values come from? What are the benefits of knowing our own values? Are they permanent? Find out the answers to all these questions and more in Episode 98. “Values are like fingerprints.
