WP 66 | Jesus Talked about Money and So Should We with the Sassy Wealth Coach
Money discussions can be complicated, especially within the parameters of professional therapy businesses. The latest episode of The Wise Practice Podcast delves into the intricacies of money mindset, offering therapists insight into overcoming obstacles related to financial fears and limitations. Special guest Lisa Marie Robinson, the Sassy Wealth Coach, shares her perspective on money management, investing in oneself, and the liberating power of rewriting your financial narrative.
Understanding Money: Allies, Not Adversaries
Insurance networks can be burdensome, but organizations like Alma strive to make it easier for therapists. They handle all the paperwork, offer enhanced reimbursement rates, and safeguard payment timelines, ensuring that therapists can focus more on client needs.
The Importance of Money Talks Within the (Therapist) Community
Breaking the silence around money discussions within the therapist community can make it easier to handle financial challenges. Small investments, such as contributing to a local food pantry or providing moral support, can create waves of change within your community.
Insights from a Relatable Guest: Lisa Marie Robinson
Lisa Marie Robinson is no stranger to financial struggle. From recalling her fraught financial past to describing her current success, Robinson transparently shares her journey professionally and financially. With over 20 years of experience in accounting, she's turned her financial chaos into prosperity and purpose, motivating others to change their financial narratives.
Money Mindset Shift: From Scarcity to Abundance
The fear of not having enough money can limit the growth of your personal life and business. Understanding your money beliefs and challenging any negative mindsets can lead to a more fruitful relationship with your finances. Robinson advises making a gratitude ritual around money, even when paying expenses, to cultivate a thriving money mindset.
Seeing Beyond the Instantaneous 'No
Holistic money management is crucial. When your initial response is 'no, I can't afford this', rethinking the scenario is beneficial. Is it genuinely that you don't have the money, or do you lack a plan for the money you do have? Making conscious financial decisions about your money can lead to better management and less financial anxiety in the future.
Working on a Positive Money Narrative
Often, adverse money stories can be embedded at an early age, influencing your money management decisions later in life. An important first step is identifying these ingrained beliefs. From there, you can consider how you talk about money and start to rewrite your money narrative, creating healthier financial habits.
Investing in your Growth
The fear of investing in one's professional growth can be a significant obstacle. Reframing that fear as an opportunity for development can liberate you to make necessary investments for your therapy business's growth.
Conclusion
Money isn't inherently good or evil—it's a tool that we must learn to wield effectively, personally and professionally. Creating a more positive narrative around money can open more opportunities for growth, generosity, and sustainability in the business of therapy. So, whether you're a new therapist just starting your practice or a veteran practitioner looking to level up your business, mastering a positive money mindset is a game-changer. Your path to prosperity could very well start with tuning into the Wise Practice Podcast and taking notes from the Sassy Wealth Coach, Lisa Marie Robinson.
