Heal Trauma to Grow Business: Episode 6 with Therese Skelly

As women, we say we love money, but we don’t act like it.

We refuse to receive any support in our lives or business. In order to have more money, we must be able to receive more support, because money is support.

A lot of us fempreneurs carry a belief that in order to make more money, we have to hustle, drive, push, and do to grow our businesses. This energy can be counterintuitive to receiving abundance and money.

A lot of women genuinely believe we HAVE to handle everything in our lives and businesses, and that if we don’t, we will be seen as less-than, or incapable, or incompetent.

As we are learning to receive, we must step up and ask for what we want, because our having money won’t stop others from having what they need. There is a spiritual fallacy that being poor is more spiritual. The truth is, we can do more for the world with more resources.

If you don’t have money, you will not have the resources you need in order to do the big work you’re called to do in the world.

In this episode, we explore taking your power back through the platform of businesses and money. We suggest it is dis-empowered to be selfless, to not focus on money, and to not allow yourself to truly fulfill your purpose in the world.

Part of receiving is being in your power. As women, we are raised to believe that being powerful is about doing all things and not accepting support. Emma and Julie suggest instead that it is more powerful to allow.

We explore how to allow more money in our businesses. We often come from a judgmental place with money. I need $10,000 now, and it has to come in this specific way! We try to control what happens with money, rather than allow it to come to us the way it desires.

There is power in leaving the door open so money can work its magic. If we try to control money, we keep ourselves from experiencing possibilities. We must release attachment to how money will come to us.

There is a spiritual practice to receiving money, being non-judgmental, and allowing money to bring its genius into our business. This is a practice of trusting in the Abundance of the Universe and staying in the present with money.

Practices:

• Take a small step each day to receive, like waiting for someone else to open the door for you.

• Allow money to be a contributor to your business.

• Focus on your genius in your business, rather than trying to do it all.

• Release control, you don’t have to control everything!

• Have open and honest conversations with money.

• Do not judge money or dictate how it must come to you.

• Let money be in its genius in your business.

• Practice gratitude.

• Designate giving: give your money away to keep the cycle of money flowing!
