Ep. 340: Lena West on Money, Discomfort, Value, and Worth

Money, money, money! It's uncomfortable and necessary to talk about.

This week, I'm bringing back a conversation with my former business coach Lena West to dive straight into the most-uncomfortable parts of the money conversation, including: why we show up the way we do around money, what's beyond the "charge what you're worth" mantra, how to deal with money discomfort (and why it probably won't go away!), why striving to just be nice is bullshit, what happens when the people in your life aren't supportive of your endeavors, how to know what to charge, and SO MUCH MORE! 

Lena is all heart and no bullshit and will shake up your beliefs around money in the best way! Enjoy, enjoy! 

What She Said:

"The amount of money is not the point. It's about what is non-negotiable for you and standing in that." 

"Getting to 5, 6, 7-figures in your business isn't a walk in the park."

"The money has to have a meaning; otherwise it's just some arbitrary nonsense."

"Don't share dreams with people who don't have any... share your dreams with dreamers and doers."
