Chill & Prosper with Denise Duffield-Thomas

How’s that voice in your head right now? Is your mind racing with self-doubt or negativity?  As someone who's experienced my fair share of mental chatter, I’ve learned a few daily rituals that can help calm those pesky voices telling you why you can't have something or why life can't be great. From tapping into the power of EFT to surrounding yourself with supportive communities, in today's podcast episode we explore various techniques to calm your inner critic.

First things first, let's acknowledge the elephant in the room: yes, the economy is challenging right now.  From high interest rates to general financial uncertainty, people are feeling the squeeze. But here's the thing - we can't control the economy, but we can control how we respond to it. In my latest episode of Chill and Prosper, I tackle the burning question of finding clients during economic downturns and how to maintain a positive money mindset. When things get tough, it's easy to spiral into panic mode. So, let's dive into some practical strategies to navigate these choppy economic waters and keep your money mindset strong.

Do I have to be posh? “What does one wear to a private island?” 🏝️🤵 I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm New Money (and I’ve made plenty of New Money mistakes) 🤣 So I don't always know what to do in situations when there are other successful or rich people around.  I was recently invited on a thank you trip by my bank for being a valuable customer to a private island resort. It was all very White Lotus minus the raunchiness and killing.  We didn't know what to wear or how to act, so we just tried to be ourselves.  The biggest takeaway from this trip? You can be yourself and still be successful—there's no need to impress anyone. Have you ever felt out of place in a new environment? How did you stay grounded?

Welcome to this week’s Chill and Prosper episode where I’m answering all your questions on:  * How to follow a budget without it triggering your scarcity mentality  * Overcoming fear of failure, judgment, and being seen * How can I overcome guilt from spending on myself? * My approach to tracking my income and spending  * How to pick and commit to the right side hustle for you And a quick update on my ballet progress 🩰❤️

I have been scared about so many things in my life - especially when I’ve tried something new.  Fear in business is a common experience, even for seasoned entrepreneurs and the first step is to acknowledge this.   In this week’s podcast episode, I open up about my own struggles with fear and share insights on how to navigate these challenging emotions.
