498. Improve Your Relationship with Money: Create New Patterns & Develop A Money-Making Mindset w/ Judy Wilkins-Smith
We are talking MONEY today, Heal Squad, and how we can improve our relationship with it! Friend of the show and author of Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint Judy Wilkins-Smith is back on because her first episode moved us so much (if you haven’t seen it, we highly recommend it - we talk about transforming through disentangling multigenerational patterns). In this interview, Judy teaches us how we can overcome a scarcity mindset when it comes to money and develop one of possibility and expansion. Plus, Judy detangles Maria, Kelsey and Pooja’s relationship with money and explains how their parents’ behaviors have influenced that. But remember, familial patterns are not yours! We don't need to take them on. Luckily, Judy reveals how we can break those limiting systems. We hope you enjoy!
