Discover why you need to adjust your relationship with money, how to get started with a spending plan, and how to handle obligatory holiday spending. This is a must-listen for hairstylists and beauty professionals who want to balance creative passion with financial stability.

However, with strategic planning and informed advice, it is possible to navigate this season without unnecessary financial stress. In this episode, we will explore valuable insights into how to manage holiday spending effectively. The holiday season often amplifies existing financial stress. The financial burden can affect you whether you're working extra hours at the salon or not.

Often, the personal finance industry uses shame as a tool -- a method that frequently leads people to avoid confronting their financial situation. The first step to overcoming financial stress, especially during the holidays, is to rethink our financial habits and shift our perspective. Rather than avoiding bills and financial statements due to fear and stress, it's beneficial to start examining them with an open mind. It's essential to go beyond the constant fear of debt and visualize our finances more constructively. One inspiring example is a hairstylist who managed to overcome her financial fear. After realizing she was significantly in debt, she decided to make a change. By assessing her spending habits in detail and drawing a clear financial plan, she managed to gradually reduce the debt and regain control over her finances.

The key is consistency rather than perfect adherence to a rigid budget. It is crucial to monitor spending habits, particularly during the holidays. Whether it's spending on gifts, eating out, or indulging in personal purchases, it helps to keep track of where the money is going.

Tracy's transformation from a wedding photographer to a business mindset coach is a remarkable journey guided by intuition and a deep passion for mindset and manifestation. Our Conversation: Tracy's career began in newborn photography, but she soon realized her passion for weddings, which led her to trust her intuition and embark on her unique journey. Her interest in mindset, manifestation, quantum physics, and the psychology of the brain became a driving force in her life. Despite initial skepticism, Tracy found herself working with a business coach who helped her develop a group coaching program and explore concepts related to the subconscious mind and neurolinguistics. The discussion also touches on the transformative power of books like "You Are a Badass" by Jen Sincero and the pivotal moments when one's perspective shifts dramatically. Tracy highlights the significance of self-recognition, embracing your unique gifts, and shifting your self-perception to achieve success. The conversation delves into the misconception of oversaturation in various niches, using the example of curly hair specialists, and how your beliefs can limit or expand your opportunities. Tracy emphasizes the importance of an identity shift, where your thoughts, actions, and beliefs align with the person you want to become. The concept of manifestation is explored, with a focus on becoming the person who has the desired outcomes, rather than just seeking the outcomes themselves. The discussion touches on the science-backed aspects of manifestation and the influence of thoughts, beliefs, and emotions on one's actions and, ultimately, their reality. It's highlighted that belief in manifestation is not a prerequisite, and people from various backgrounds, including those who are not spiritual, can benefit from these principles. The importance of taking action aligned with your goals and assessing whether your thoughts, feelings, and actions are moving you closer to your desired outcomes is emphasized. Key Takeways: Manifestation is about becoming, not just obtaining. Your self-perception dictates your success. Your mindset is the key to breaking through limiting beliefs. Evidence and self-recognition are essential in the manifestation journey. The placebo effect demonstrates the power of belief and mindset. The importance of open-mindedness and recognizing the connection between energy and belief.
