There are taboos around discussing certain topics, most notably sex, politics, and money. But why do we have such a taboo around money? This is based in our own money stories.

Our money story is the ingrained story that you tell yourself about money, what it is, what it isn’t, what’s wrong with it, what your capability is to earn it, and what people who have it are or are not. We all have stories about money, and these stories influence our ability to earn more of it.

In today’s episode I talk about

• The difference between having a money story steeped in lack and fear, and a money story steeped in abundance
• My own money stories and how they developed
• The ways in which we attract things into our lives, looked at from an energy perspective as well as a neuroscience perspective
• How we can shift our unhealthy and counterproductive money stories into much healthier, more productive ones

I recommend a classic book about money, The Science of Getting Rich (https://amzn.to/2tvEZpG), which you can get at Amazon.

To be clear, I am NOT saying that more money will make us happier. In fact, research very clearly shows that, beyond covering our basic needs, more money doesn't necessarily make us happier. What I am saying, though, is that we should not be denying ourselves what we very well may be able to have if we get out of our own way and look at our relationship with money in a new way.

It would really mean a lot to me if you would go to Apple Podcasts and leave me a review (hopefully a great one!), leave a 5 star rating, subscribe to this podcast so you never miss an episode, and download the episodes! And please spread the word and help our community grow!

Thank you so much spending your time with me! And if you aren’t following me already, you can find me on Instagram, click here to join the PurposeGirls Facebook Group, and click here to receive my newsletter.

May you live purposefully, may you love yourself, and may you love life.

Bye for now!

In this episode of The PurposeGirl Podcast, I'm joined by New York Times bestselling author, Marie Benedict. I devoured several of her books and was a fan of hers before she reached out to be on The PurposeGirl Podcast, and I’m thrilled and honored to bring her to you.

Marie digs deep into the lives of historical women, sees them as superheroes, and shows us their “origin stories” and how they made such important contributions to our modern world. She asks how we’re living with their legacy, often without even realizing it. Marie has an abiding passion for history, and for uncovering the unanswered questions of history and unheard voices.

In this episode, and in her books, Marie:

• points out that women have been making critical contributions to all aspects of our society – science, philanthropy, politics, business, etc. – even if many people don’t know about it.
• argues that if these historical figures can do the amazing things that they did under such challenging conditions, with such odds stacked against them, then we, today, can do great things as well.
• hopes to inspire readers to fight against the marginalization that occurred in the past, and continues today.
• describes her purpose as showing how other women have a purpose, and she addresses the life purpose of the women in her books.

You can learn more about Marie Benedict at her website (https://www.authormariebenedict.com/), and follow her on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/authormariebenedict), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/authormariebenedict/ and https://www.instagram.com/shift.the.lens/),

You can find her books at Amazon, including her newest book, Lady Clementine (https://amzn.to/2GDqSBJ).

In this episode I announced the upcoming PurposeGirl Dream Accelerator, for women who want to launch or grow a purpose-based business. If you’d like more information, please go https://carinrockind.com/dream.
