Brenda St. Louis: You're abandoning a part of your
Speaker:nervous system that needs to be regulated when you're doing it.
Speaker:A man could like a 24 hour system. That's how a man's body
Speaker:works in the health world, right? They and a woman has a 30
Speaker:day system. But it's similar if you're going into the bank when
Speaker:you're on your when you're on your period, your your emotions
Speaker:and what you're feeling and how you're going to make a decision
Speaker:is going to be very different than when you're ovulating,
Speaker:right? So knowing your physical body and how you operate is
Speaker:really important to lead with. When you work with money, you're
Speaker:not going to change the money system. And I think a lot of
Speaker:times we think we're going to change it. We just have to
Speaker:approach it fully embodied and fully regulated.
Kate Harlow:Hello, my loves. I am so excited for you today.
Kate Harlow:This episode has been a long time coming. There have been so
Kate Harlow:many requests over the years for money episodes, we as women have
Kate Harlow:been so disempowered around money and left blind and not
Kate Harlow:educated, and I have brought on the perfect person to empower
Kate Harlow:you around your perspectives around money. How you do money,
Kate Harlow:your relationship with money? So if you're feeling any shame,
Kate Harlow:guilt, doubt, blame any of those things and you're ready to
Kate Harlow:change your relationship with money. This is the episode for
Kate Harlow:you. Share it with every woman you know who needs to hear this
Kate Harlow:message. I'm so excited to have you here. Brenda, hi. Brenda,
Kate Harlow:hey. It's so good to be here, and it's so good to reconnect
Kate Harlow:after so many years. We've known each other for quite some time.
Kate Harlow:I know. How many years have we known each other? Probably 10. I
Kate Harlow:would say, No, I've done my business for nine years, so it's
Kate Harlow:longer than more than that, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. Like,
Kate Harlow:it's probably like, maybe 15, yeah, yeah, because I think I
Kate Harlow:knew you quite a few years before I started. Yeah, this so
Kate Harlow:interesting how time flies. Yeah, it's wild. And who we've
Kate Harlow:become in the last 15 years is pretty extraordinary. Yes, yeah,
Kate Harlow:I still have goosebumps from all the things you just shared with
Kate Harlow:me, everything you've been creating. You're now a published
Kate Harlow:author of this epic book. Do you want to tell us a little tell
Kate Harlow:everyone a little bit about it? Sure, it's my first fiction,
Kate Harlow:like I've published nonfiction before, but this is called the
Kate Harlow:Lost synapse, and it's fiction, but it's it was downloaded to
Kate Harlow:me, and I've been working on it for probably 15 years, so maybe
Kate Harlow:when we first met, I was starting it, and all the
Kate Harlow:characters had been knocking on my door to come in. And it
Kate Harlow:really is a book about transformation. It's young
Kate Harlow:adult. It's about working with the mycelium network, which is
Kate Harlow:really present right now for a lot of people, and the earth
Kate Harlow:energy and how technology and the organic matter in our
Kate Harlow:reality needs to have a relationship. Because I feel
Kate Harlow:like the mass shift that we need to step on the planet, step up
Kate Harlow:on the planet needs to happen. But the book itself is an
Kate Harlow:adventure of kids that have coding ability, and they're
Kate Harlow:working with trying to create a reality where empathy and
Kate Harlow:compassion is the currency, rather than power and control
Kate Harlow:and separation. And that's kind of the work that I want to do
Kate Harlow:with money, because money has been this space of separation
Kate Harlow:for so long for people, and I feel like it could be a conduit
Kate Harlow:for connection if we change our lens and we look at it
Kate Harlow:differently. So the story of money and the transactional
Kate Harlow:universe is a lightly brushed in the book. It's a trilogy. So the
Kate Harlow:second book kind of deepens how in our transactional reality, we
Kate Harlow:start to have the power to create a deeper connection with
Kate Harlow:each other, in the planet and all of that. So it's fun, it's
Kate Harlow:scary, it's exciting, it's really fast paced, and,
Unknown:yeah, like, I've had someone pitch it to me that they
Unknown:might want to pitch it to some production companies, because
Unknown:it's written like, it could be a movie.
Kate Harlow:No, it's going to be a movie. I was, I'm like, I
Kate Harlow:delete that part, because I was excited to be like, Oh my god,
Kate Harlow:this is so going to be a movie. I had, like, I had waves of
Kate Harlow:goosebumps, as you were talking, waves like, it just kept going
Kate Harlow:and going and going, I This is unbelievable. It's so incredibly
Kate Harlow:powerful. What you've been up to, and you've been working with
Kate Harlow:women around money for a really long time. How? What? Yeah, it's
Kate Harlow:been about.
Unknown:I've been, I've been a facilitator and a coach and a
Unknown:speaker from the stage for about 25 years, and a somatic
Unknown:therapist. But about eight, I think it's 18. I keep saying
Unknown:it's 15, but I think it's 18 years I had the bonk on the.
Unknown:Head that I'm supposed to put what I've done throughout my
Unknown:life focused on money and our relationship with money. And I
Unknown:mean, I don't know if I've ever told you this story, but when I
Unknown:was in clown school in Vancouver, I got the message. I
Unknown:was it was I went into trance during one of the exercises
Unknown:where we make these masks, and I got this total bonk in the head
Unknown:that I am supposed to work with money women, and so that I can
Unknown:use money as a conduit for changing how we relate with it.
Unknown:So it's a way for love and connection to expand on the
Unknown:planet. And so ever since then, I've studied everyone I can get
Unknown:my hands on. At the time, no one was doing financial therapy and
Unknown:was doing deeper work with money.
Kate Harlow:There was an Instagram, yeah, there wasn't
Kate Harlow:all this social media five minute like, I can help you make
Kate Harlow:a million dollars, people.
Unknown:No, there was, there was that, but no one talked
Unknown:about the soma, the nervous system, and how we are
Unknown:dysregulated, how we relate with money. No one was teaching it.
Unknown:There was no such thing as a financial therapist. That's what
Unknown:I called myself. And so I feel like I've been pioneering it,
Unknown:and ever since I started, it's blooming, like there's more
Unknown:money coaches, there's more therapists that work with money.
Unknown:So it's happening, but I feel like I was at the beginning of
Unknown:this movement of having a deeper, more profound
Unknown:relationship with your finances.
Kate Harlow:For sure you were and sorry you lost me when I was
Kate Harlow:in clown school. No, I actually knew I had heard that because I
Kate Harlow:heard your turning point story before, when we were when we did
Kate Harlow:this work with Callan. So I have heard the clown school thing,
Kate Harlow:but I'm sure so many people are like, Wait, why? That's not a
Kate Harlow:statement you hear every day. What I know you want to tell us
Kate Harlow:just for a minute, like what that was about, and what that
Kate Harlow:what, what led you to clown school? I didn't even know there
Kate Harlow:was such a thing. It makes sense. Such a thing. It makes
Kate Harlow:sense that
Unknown:there would be. But, well, it's so interesting when I
Unknown:you know, in grade eight, where you fill out the little dots to
Unknown:pick your career, yeah, and they put it in a machine way back
Unknown:when, and they spit out the top three careers, and then your
Unknown:teacher says, Well, you can go to this school, or you can go to
Unknown:this school. And so the top three things, the first one was
Unknown:clown, the second one was priest, and the third one was
Unknown:marine biologist. And so I was like a clown, a class clown in
Unknown:school too. And I didn't like school. I was dyslexic. I didn't
Unknown:really I wasn't really good at all the things, but I was great
Unknown:at making people laugh. So she was like, Well, I guess we can
Unknown:look at marine biology. And I said, No, I want to go to clown
Unknown:school. And she bit she said, Okay, so she did all the
Unknown:research to find the the clown schools. There's one in in the
Unknown:Ukraine, and then there was one in or it was Russia at the time,
Unknown:and there was one in Vancouver. And I was living in Ontario, and
Unknown:I was like, whoa, okay. So I always knew from grade eight
Unknown:that there was a clown school in Vancouver, and this was like the
Unknown:80s. So I did my life. I did all the things. And then I moved to
Unknown:Korea, South Korea, and I was studying dance with this Korean
Unknown:dance teacher, and she made us all go to this clown performance
Unknown:called slava's Snow show, and I were sitting there. There were
Unknown:like 1000s and 1000s of people in the theater, and there was
Unknown:this clown that came and shuffled onto the stage and
Unknown:would stop and move his head. And basically he was telling
Unknown:this story and getting us ready without using words. Was just
Unknown:the presence that he had in his body. And he gets into the
Unknown:middle of the stage, and then he looks at us, and he moves his
Unknown:head one way, and everyone laughs. And I was like, I want
Unknown:to be able to do that. I want to be able to capture an audience
Unknown:and engage with them in such a way that they feel so connected
Unknown:to me. And I knew it. I knew that that was what I was doing.
Unknown:And then when I moved back from Korea, I was living in Seoul,
Unknown:and I moved back to Vancouver, I was studying dance in Vancouver
Unknown:and doing all the things and figuring out what I wanted to
Unknown:do. And I had a broken heart. I ended a relationship. And so I
Unknown:said, I just am so dark. I need to laugh. So I said, I know
Unknown:there's a clown school here. So I I had enough money to when I
Unknown:moved to Korea, from Korea to Vancouver, I had saved enough to
Unknown:finish my book, which didn't happen right away. So I was
Unknown:dancing and writing, that's what I was doing. And I said, okay,
Unknown:and I'm gonna go to clown school. So I went to clown
Unknown:school, and it was really immersive and deep. And in that
Unknown:session, there's like this process where you make a mask,
Unknown:and you you you paper mache it, and you paint it, and then you
Unknown:put it on, you dress it, and there's an eight mm. Masks, and
Unknown:all eight masks have. Each mask has a innocent and adolescent
Unknown:and a mature portion of it that you develop, and then they merge
Unknown:all eight masks together, right? And that becomes your clown. But
Unknown:this first mask that I did, I went in a total trance, and I
Unknown:heard this voice in my head that said, You are here to transform
Unknown:money into a conduit for love and connection. And I was like,
Unknown:What? What? And so I said, okay, but I mean, it was, I had many
Unknown:versions of my business. I think the first one was called the
Unknown:wealthy clown. Not a lot of credibility there. But I but
Unknown:it's evolved. It's evolved, and I've learned a lot. I became a
Unknown:certified financial planner. I learned all the boring money
Unknown:stuff, which I don't find boring anymore, and I integrated all of
Unknown:the the the things that I've done throughout my life into the
Unknown:work that I do with clients now, wow,
Kate Harlow:that is the coolest story. I wonder how many women
Kate Harlow:listening to this that are really depressed now, because
Kate Harlow:it's going into winter, looking up that sounds so powerful, and
Kate Harlow:it's amazing. And I love how connected you are to hearing the
Kate Harlow:I guess that's Claire audience. I have all five of them,
Kate Harlow:actually. Oh, you have all of them. Yeah,
Unknown:wow, cool. When I'm when I'm doing the work,
Unknown:sometimes when I get into, like, work, work, work behind the
Unknown:computer, and all of the the this, the silly admin stuff, I
Unknown:don't hear it as well,
Kate Harlow:totally. Yeah, I think, and that's true for
Kate Harlow:everyone. I think, like when we're unplugged, where we're
Kate Harlow:disconnected, but we're plugged in. The more you plug into the
Kate Harlow:source, the your heart, your body, your connection, the more
Kate Harlow:you have access to creativity and these profound downloads and
Kate Harlow:life leading you really and it leads all of us in different
Kate Harlow:ways. But wow, that's a frickin amazing story so cool. I would
Kate Harlow:love to talk about, like, what we were talking about before we
Kate Harlow:hit record, about, specifically, like, why women are so fucked up
Kate Harlow:around money. And it's definitely been something I have
Kate Harlow:over the years, worked so much with, like, it's been one of my
Kate Harlow:biggest areas. And, you know, lots of friends of mine too,
Kate Harlow:where it's just like, you know, no matter how many people I've
Kate Harlow:worked with, you, I worked with my uncle. I worked with so many
Kate Harlow:people over the years. It took so and it still takes so much to
Kate Harlow:shift the deeper beliefs around money. So I'd love to start
Kate Harlow:there talking about women's relationship with money, and
Kate Harlow:maybe yours what yours was like, But why we're all so fucked up
Kate Harlow:about money? Well,
Unknown:I really think that we have to back up first. So saying
Unknown:that we are fucked up around money is not fair
Kate Harlow:first, not that we are fucked up. I mean that we
Kate Harlow:feel fucked up or shame exactly, or we hoard, or we overspend, we
Kate Harlow:can't let it sit Yes, but
Unknown:that's what I wanted to because I think that we the way
Unknown:women relate in the world is very different to how women
Unknown:relate men relate in the world, and So the way a woman interacts
Unknown:with everyone and everything is often through a place of
Unknown:connection. It's through a place of us. It's a it's a place of
Unknown:we, like, you know, a woman will have a baby, and they're
Unknown:initially connected to that baby. It's never just them
Unknown:anymore, right? They did studies where if they gave a lot of
Unknown:money to a woman, it transforms seven people's lives. If they
Unknown:gave a lot of money to a man, it transforms two people's lives.
Unknown:So oftentimes, we share our money in a community, and what
Unknown:can we do to help everyone else out and all of that so that
Unknown:often is our structure as women, you know, there's, and I'm not
Unknown:saying it's better than men, but like, when you think about the
Unknown:whole story of like, you know, back in the day, like before we
Unknown:had civilization, men would go out hunting. They could only go
Unknown:with two people, if there was a whole bunch of them. They
Unknown:couldn't get that, they couldn't get that animal, or they
Unknown:couldn't bring home the bacon, right? So they had to think
Unknown:singularly. They had to act singularly, and they couldn't
Unknown:get distracted by too many other people's needs. But the women
Unknown:who were left,
Kate Harlow:we need to pause for a sec that I've never ever i
Kate Harlow:People always talk about back in the day when men were cavemen
Kate Harlow:and women, or men were hunters and women were gatherers, and
Kate Harlow:I've never heard it described like that before. That makes so
Kate Harlow:much sense. That's why men always just think for
Kate Harlow:themselves, and women get so triggered by that in
Kate Harlow:relationships. And obviously the new truth is mostly about debt.
Kate Harlow:Well, this is relationships. This episode is about
Kate Harlow:relationship. With money, but it's mostly about your your
Kate Harlow:romantic relationships, dating, love, relationship to self, and
Kate Harlow:that is so huge for women to actually think about that from
Kate Harlow:the very beginning, like men had to be singular, focused, wow.
Kate Harlow:And I
Unknown:think it's a gift that men have you know, they're not
Unknown:multitaskers. They're not they don't do that. So what we do is,
Unknown:and women in particular, when you come back to the community,
Unknown:they had to have their finger on the pulse of everyone in the
Unknown:community. We would call that gossip, or talking about each
Unknown:other and things like that. But really it was like to see where
Unknown:everyone was functioning from, and then you would look out into
Unknown:the the field, and you would see there was some danger coming,
Unknown:and you would spread the word around everyone, come on. Back
Unknown:up, take care of our brew, right? So we always had this
Unknown:expansive way of staying connected, that was survival,
Unknown:right? The men had to be singularly focused for survival.
Unknown:So who created the money in the world? Men, right? So the system
Unknown:that money is created in is not a system for women. Like women
Unknown:don't think that way, right? If women created the financial
Unknown:systems, it would be very different. And sometimes we do
Unknown:this thing, oh, it would be way better if women led, well,
Unknown:whatever. We're not leading that yet, but it's almost like this,
Unknown:understanding the the water we're swimming in is really,
Unknown:really important, rather than judging it as wrong, you know,
Unknown:just to understand it and know what skills you need to acquire
Unknown:in order to survive and to thrive.
Kate Harlow:Wow. So, so how would you describe it not being
Kate Harlow:a system that supports women? I hear this all the time with
Kate Harlow:health now, and I love it. How health? You know the studies are
Kate Harlow:about the circadian rhythm, and men's bodies are the same every
Kate Harlow:day. So they can go to a nine to five job every day. They cannot
Kate Harlow:eat the same thing every day. They can do things the same way
Kate Harlow:every day, and that's actually good for them. But women are
Kate Harlow:cyclical, and every day we're different, and we need things
Kate Harlow:different every day. So I love that analog analogy for health
Kate Harlow:and and women's bodies. So take us there for money. What? Why is
Kate Harlow:this system not supportive for how women naturally are well,
Unknown:I mean, we could talk about we didn't have a lot of
Unknown:education or rights around it, because women actually haven't
Unknown:been able to own a credit card or put their singular name on a
Unknown:house title, since, I think you could own a credit card in in in
Unknown:the States, with your name, if you had a husband, co sign with
Unknown:you in 1956 right? So we have had, maybe, I would say, 40
Unknown:clean years where women actually have had rights with their
Unknown:finances. And even now, when a women woman goes into the bank,
Unknown:depending on who you're, you're meeting, they want to know if
Unknown:you're married. They want to know if you're like, it's still
Unknown:there in our financial system in North America, but there are
Unknown:places all over the country that, all over the the the
Unknown:world, where women can't even have a bank account. There's so
Unknown:many unbanked people, and most of them are women, right? So the
Unknown:the inequality in the world, of course, you just have to speak
Unknown:to that. We just haven't had as much experience in in
Unknown:understanding how finance works and to take responsibility and
Unknown:leadership in it, absolutely. But we are trying to take
Unknown:responsibility and leadership in a world where, you know, you
Unknown:look at the stock market, and men look at money like a
Unknown:stopwatch, how fast? How fast? What can I build? Right? A woman
Unknown:will look at money of like, what can I do with it? What can I
Unknown:create with it? Right? So there's a different way of
Unknown:approaching finance. So when we're trying to build wealth, or
Unknown:we're trying to be responsible. We can't do it like a man
Unknown:saying, Well, you need your Excel sheet, you need this much,
Unknown:you need a budget. You need to do this. And when you go to the
Unknown:the banks, you'll get a financial advisor that will work
Unknown:with you, probably a man or a woman that's been trained in a
Unknown:man's world. Yeah, that you have to do it this way, right? Right?
Unknown:And really, truly, if you do it their way, you do make money,
Unknown:right? But you're abandoning a part of your nervous system that
Unknown:needs to be regulated when you're doing it a man could like
Unknown:a 24 hour system. That's how a man's body works in the health
Unknown:world, right? They and a woman has a 30 day system. But it's
Unknown:similar. If you're going into the bank when you're on your
Unknown:when you're on your period, your emotions and what you're feeling
Unknown:and how you're going to make a decision is going to be very
Unknown:different than when you're ovulating, right? So knowing. In
Unknown:your physical, physical body and how you operate is really
Unknown:important to lead with. When you work with money, you're not
Unknown:going to change the money system. And I think a lot of
Unknown:times we think we're going to change it, we just have to
Unknown:approach it fully embodied and fully regulated.
Kate Harlow:Wow, oh my gosh, wow. Yeah. And I think the
Kate Harlow:linear route women who fall like, who are who spend more
Kate Harlow:time in their feminine energy, it's like, that's so hard. You
Kate Harlow:know, they'll get excited and like, be like, Okay, now I've
Kate Harlow:structured an organization, and then it'll go out the window.
Kate Harlow:Unless they have like, lots of Capricorn or Virgo in their
Kate Harlow:chart. It's gonna, you know, of course, there's women who are
Kate Harlow:really good with with organization and that kind of
Kate Harlow:thing. So for women like that, perhaps they'll get a different
Kate Harlow:result. But for women who are more emotional and more more
Kate Harlow:lean more towards the feminine qualities, they'll rebel against
Kate Harlow:it like, it'll be like, great and for a week or two, and then
Kate Harlow:you'll fall off the wagon, and then you'll beat the shit out of
Kate Harlow:yourself for not doing the thing you said you do. And you know it
Kate Harlow:so many women did guilt and shame, and we've been taught to
Kate Harlow:punish ourselves from so many places. So yeah, like,
Unknown:I don't know how many women say, Oh, I'm not good with
Unknown:numbers. I'm bad with money. You know, money is full of greed. It
Unknown:takes it's bad, it hurts people, and it's a way of creating
Unknown:safety for us to have those points of view, to take care of
Unknown:ourselves too. So we have to villainize money to make us feel
Unknown:okay, because the shame cycle, the greed like all of the guilt,
Unknown:shame and judgment that we have about ourselves is perpetuated
Unknown:in the financial system, that women are not good with money,
Unknown:or, I don't know how many times people say in the school system
Unknown:too, that boys are better in math than girls. That's so not
Unknown:true. It's not true at all. But the way that we approach things
Unknown:makes us believe it's true. So it self perpetuates in a lot of
Kate Harlow:ways, right? And probably the way they teach, it
Kate Harlow:supports a boy's brain over a girl's brain,
Unknown:sometimes, sometimes. But I also think that, like you
Unknown:know, when you have mixed genders in school, sometimes
Unknown:women or girls are often not excelling because they're more
Unknown:of a social we're more social, right? We want to connect, and
Unknown:if you are too smart, you might not connect, right? So the need
Unknown:to connect and to belong is much greater, even though it's
Unknown:something every human needs, men and women, but I think for
Unknown:women, especially when they're younger, they're usually more
Unknown:emotionally ahead of boys in school, so their desire to
Unknown:connect and knowing how to connect is greater than boys
Unknown:sometimes At that time, right?
Kate Harlow:That makes so much sense. Whoa. I didn't
Unknown:know we were gonna go here, but there's so many places
Unknown:we
Kate Harlow:could be, like, 10 hours, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh my
Kate Harlow:gosh. So anything else you want to say before we move to the
Kate Harlow:five toxic beliefs, anything else you want to say around
Kate Harlow:women and money? Well, I love that
Unknown:we were talking at first about what our inheritance
Unknown:is in our gender, rather than the trauma that we inherit from
Unknown:our family of origin or our intergenerational or even
Unknown:cultural trauma that happens for us that makes us interact with
Unknown:money in different ways. Because I think that there's so many
Unknown:levels to look at in order to operate from a place of
Unknown:alignment healing, regulation and health with money. So it's
Unknown:never just one thing. So it's nice to actually stack it. And I
Unknown:love that we started this with, you know, the physiology of
Unknown:being a woman or being a man and what that means.
Kate Harlow:Yeah, so big. Do you want to touch on all the
Kate Harlow:other ones that you just mentioned? So, so the next place
Kate Harlow:is understanding why we feel out of control, or whatever you're
Kate Harlow:feeling around money. It's like, this is why all of these pieces.
Kate Harlow:So one piece is being a woman in the system. So what are the
Kate Harlow:other pieces?
Unknown:Culturally, the culture that we live in, I mean, every
Unknown:culture is going to deal with money differently. If you're
Unknown:German, I talk and work with German people, and they're like,
Unknown:I don't understand why it's so hard for you to save money. But
Unknown:culturally, they have a very linear and practical approach to
Unknown:things. When you go to some place in like Brazil and I, and
Unknown:it's like, No, we got to look good as women like you know, all
Unknown:my money is going into my boob job or whatever to like, because
Unknown:that's my currency that creates my value, right? But then.
Unknown:You're in Canada, where men and women are treated very
Unknown:similarly, because it's like a very socialist country, we're
Unknown:going to approach money in a different way. So
Unknown:culturally, what's Canada?
Unknown:Canada is like, is like, sorry, I spent my money. Sorry. It's
Unknown:like, don't
Unknown:stand out, don't look too wealthy. You know, you got to
Unknown:keep yourself the same as everyone else in America. It's
Unknown:like celebrated capitalism. You can be rich do all of that.
Unknown:Canada is no status quo. We take care of everyone. The bottom
Unknown:line, the people on the bottom need to be taken care of, you
Unknown:know, which is great, but at the same time, it doesn't allow
Unknown:people to kind of excel in their
Kate Harlow:brilliance. Oh, my God. Okay, name some other
Kate Harlow:countries. If you have there's women listening from all over
Kate Harlow:the world. So if you have any in the
Unknown:UK, it's like, do not talk about money. It's dirty,
Unknown:it's bad, it's embarrassing. Never tell what you're making.
Unknown:It's very private. That's the UK. Okay, right? Oh, Japan. I I
Unknown:think I'm not pause positive about this, but it is a very it
Unknown:has that, you know, don't stand out. Everyone has. It's a
Unknown:homogenous culture too. So we take care of everyone, which is
Unknown:good. But I also feel like standing out and saving face,
Unknown:and all of that stuff is such a dominant social construct that
Unknown:they stand into, and that can affect how you relate with money
Unknown:as well.
Unknown:Okay, in Australia, you were gonna say, Oh, wow,
Unknown:I got it. I don't know. All of Australia, I think is very
Unknown:adventure focused. It's
Unknown:like, yeah, like, it's having a good time. That's all that
Unknown:matters Exactly.
Unknown:But, I mean, this is a deeper anthropological kind of study
Unknown:around money, and I that's another topic that I'm not a
Unknown:genius in my partner is. So that's
Kate Harlow:where, I mean, you just did a great job. That was
Kate Harlow:amazing. I'm like, I was shocked when you did even the first
Kate Harlow:three. Okay, amazing. So that's cultural Yes, where you were
Kate Harlow:born, where you were raised, how you were programmed, the society
Kate Harlow:that programmed you,
Unknown:yeah, and in majority of the Western cultures, there
Unknown:are five toxic money beliefs that we have, yes, and pretty
Unknown:much every one of these you could have all five, you can
Unknown:have one, but most of the toxic behavior that we have with money
Unknown:sits in one of these belief systems. Okay, and it may not
Unknown:look so for the listeners that are trying to figure out where
Unknown:they sit in it, you can type in the show notes to or in the
Unknown:comments, and I can go in after and see what your behavior, what
Unknown:belief system it sits in, because sometimes it's harder to
Unknown:find it for yourself. Because, you know, when we're in the
Unknown:picture, we can't see the frame however you might see it right
Unknown:away. So the first one is, of course, not enough. The scarcity
Unknown:there's never enough. You know it, it just, it could happen on
Unknown:there's never enough love, there's never enough time,
Unknown:there's never enough money, there's never enough so it's
Unknown:that scarcity model of never enough, and that lives in your
Unknown:nervous system, and it becomes an emotional pattern that can
Unknown:seep into everything in our lives.
Kate Harlow:Yeah, I know a woman who's a millionaire, and
Kate Harlow:she and she has that it's like nothing's It's like she feels
Kate Harlow:like she's broke still, because her old stuff is family stuff
Kate Harlow:and young like it's still there in her DNA, even though she she
Kate Harlow:has a very successful business.
Unknown:And I mean, if you want to frame that in a trauma place,
Unknown:when you have money scarcity dialed in. It doesn't matter how
Unknown:much money you have, but your nervous system is in fight or
Unknown:flight all the time. Okay? So you're, you're you're in. It's
Unknown:almost like your nervous system is dialed into, there's never
Unknown:enough oxygen. So you're like, like, you know that feeling, and
Unknown:it's the loop, I call it a mobius strip, where you just
Unknown:keep going over and over and over again you have to break the
Unknown:cycle. And there's a whole process on how to do that. But
Unknown:that belief system can seep into so many parts of our lives.
Unknown:Yeah,
Unknown:the next one is money will solve all my
Kate Harlow:Actually, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, before
Kate Harlow:we get to the next Okay, yeah, I actually want to say one thing
Kate Harlow:to the never enough thing. I've actually noticed since living in
Kate Harlow:or not even living in Africa, because I've only been here a
Kate Harlow:month, but since spending so much time here last year, I've
Kate Harlow:noticed that that not enough. Nothing's ever enough with North
Kate Harlow:Americans. Obviously, it's probably most people in the
Kate Harlow:Western world, but it's like, oh, they're never satisfied with
Kate Harlow:their meal. It's like, not good enough. Go out for dinner. It's
Kate Harlow:not good enough for this. There's always something wrong,
Kate Harlow:like, or I need another Amazon delivery, or I need another.
Kate Harlow:Like, it always more more, more I need. I need to put more
Kate Harlow:things on my calendar. I need to be busier. It's like, nothing
Kate Harlow:ever is enough. And then here in Africa. I meet people who have
Kate Harlow:nothing, and there's, it's like they have more than enough, like
Kate Harlow:they're so grounded and regulated. And there's this like
Kate Harlow:gratitude. There's this appreciation for everything they
Kate Harlow:have. I gave my friend a book, and he, he almost cried, like
Kate Harlow:was on the verge of crying. It was like, Oh my God. And it was
Kate Harlow:so blown away by getting a gift, and it was like the most
Kate Harlow:meaningful thing in the world to him. And I was like, what, like
Kate Harlow:most people would be like, Oh, thanks. Like, whatever they
Kate Harlow:would like, throw it on their desk and never read it, like he
Kate Harlow:read it many times, and it was just like the most appreciated
Kate Harlow:thing. And so it's such a fascinating thing to be in a
Kate Harlow:country where it's like a developing country in Africa and
Kate Harlow:not, and I'm not talking necessarily talking about
Kate Harlow:Nairobi, but parts of Nairobi, for sure, but Kenya, like parts
Kate Harlow:of Kenya, villages where people really don't have much, they
Kate Harlow:live in these tiny places, and they're They're in such deep
Kate Harlow:appreciation for life, and then all these people in North
Kate Harlow:America who literally have more than they could ever want too
Kate Harlow:much stuff. They have too much of everything. And then, but of
Kate Harlow:course, that wound underneath that's driving them, that's not
Kate Harlow:enough. I've been thinking so much about this not enoughness
Kate Harlow:since being here, and
Unknown:it's interesting that you say that, because there's
Unknown:been a lot of studies of why that's the case, and a part of
Unknown:it is because we compare. And when you're in a community of
Unknown:people that have a similar poverty level or similar price,
Unknown:like less than they look out for each other in a lot of ways, and
Unknown:it creates a community. It's like a we are in this together,
Unknown:right? And that sense of belonging is satisfying. It
Unknown:brings in the enoughness. It brings in the satedness. In our
Unknown:cultures, we are always looking on Instagram or comparing with
Unknown:people who have more, or our neighbor has more, or the sense
Unknown:of belonging doesn't happen as as dynamic as it does in those
Unknown:cultures. And when you have a deep belonging to something,
Unknown:usually that satiates your desire for more, because that's
Unknown:what we really want, is we want to be belonging. We want to be
Unknown:with.
Kate Harlow:We want to be together. You are fucking
Kate Harlow:brilliant. Everything you're saying. I gotta listen to this
Kate Harlow:episode 10 times. I thank you so much for being here and sharing
Kate Harlow:your wisdom. It's not the end, and we can this can be as long
Kate Harlow:as it is. I am so just blown away by everything that you
Kate Harlow:everything that's inside of you, and that comes through you. You
Kate Harlow:are just unbelievable.
Unknown:Wow. I'm so excited to have you here. So
Unknown:much. It feels like I want to share so much with the world
Unknown:around how we work with money, because I feel like it's the
Unknown:most underdeveloped energy. We don't explore it. And there's so
Unknown:much it's it's so exciting for me to to dive in and open up in
Unknown:it. So thank you for giving me the opportunity.
Kate Harlow:It's amazing. Okay, sorry. Belief two
Unknown:money will solve all my problems. So if I just win the
Unknown:want lottery, if I just made more money, if I had more money,
Unknown:everything would be okay. And when you have that belief, of
Unknown:course, you're chasing the dollar, right? You're chasing
Unknown:whatever currency you live in, and you want more. It's always
Unknown:more more, more more. And that's kind of problematic for the
Unknown:entire planet in a lot of ways, but money will solve my problems
Unknown:is a very toxic belief. And if you live in that, you'll see
Unknown:that your hustle, the hustle you have with money, is what could
Unknown:be really toxic for your nervous system as well. And some
Unknown:people's retirement plan is to win the lottery. There are 32%
Unknown:of the people on the planet that believe that their retirement
Unknown:plan is winning the lottery, and the amount of money that goes
Unknown:into lottery tickets, it's pretty evident. Wow.
Kate Harlow:And then there's all those studies about people
Kate Harlow:who win the lottery end up spending it all in how long,
Kate Harlow:like a year or something.
Unknown:Well, that's another story that could go we could go
Unknown:deep into that, but it doesn't solve your problems. Never does.
Unknown:It just reveals more of what's problematic.
Kate Harlow:Yeah, well, because then it's still never enough. So
Kate Harlow:you're always chasing the carrot, and then the bar keeps
Kate Harlow:moving. You never get to celebrate, enjoy where you are,
Kate Harlow:because the bar is just going to go higher and higher and
Unknown:higher. Only if you have the toxic belief of never
Unknown:enough, but if your belief is money will solve all my
Unknown:problems, then you don't take responsibility for your part in
Unknown:it. You just think it's money that's going to solve
Unknown:everything,
Kate Harlow:right? You know, it's different. It makes me
Kate Harlow:think of this documentary I saw a long time ago about
Kate Harlow:billionaire children and how they're the. Most unhappy people
Kate Harlow:in the world, and they they're like, all addicted to drugs and
Kate Harlow:like it's many have been suicidal or have killed
Kate Harlow:themselves, and like, they have everything they could ever
Kate Harlow:possibly want and they can't even access pleasure.
Unknown:And a part of that is, there's a whole study on how our
Unknown:brains get wired from challenge and working and seeing the
Unknown:products of our be behavior or products of our effort coming
Unknown:in. And I think, like as a trust fund, I work with a lot of
Unknown:wealthy people too that never really had to worry about money,
Unknown:and now they realize they want to understand it. And there's a
Unknown:whole wealth transfer right now from the trillionaires to their
Unknown:kids, and it's a movement one of my mentors right now wants to
Unknown:capture, because he wants those kids to be educated on how to
Unknown:use their money to transform the planet. But like, that's another
Unknown:story, but this brain that doesn't often in a billionaire
Unknown:family, I shouldn't make an assumption here, but love
Unknown:connection and time with your kids, usually they don't put the
Unknown:effort in with their kids. They get a nanny, they get to go to
Unknown:the greatest private schools. They get everything they want,
Unknown:thinking that's love. Not every billionaire will do that, but
Unknown:these kids never really get nurtured the way a kid needs to
Unknown:be nurtured, and never gets the challenge to use their abilities
Unknown:and skills to survive in the world or thrive in the world,
Unknown:right? Because everything's given to them so a pathway in
Unknown:their brain doesn't get created, and the reward system in our
Unknown:brain creates oxytocin and serotonin and all the things.
Unknown:But if you're never challenged and you're just given
Unknown:everything, you're not going to do that. And the only way you
Unknown:get that is taking drugs. You know, you only way you get your
Unknown:serotonin popped up, I'm going to take some ecstasy, right? So
Unknown:there's a chemical journey that we go on in our brain as we move
Unknown:into the different levels of abundance. And if you miss one,
Unknown:then you usually substitute it with other behavior that's
Unknown:toxic, right?
Kate Harlow:Wow, so much there. Holy, oh my gosh, this is such a
Kate Harlow:big topic. Why did we not learn about money in school? How
Kate Harlow:insane
Unknown:I know what Well, part of it is because a teacher can't
Unknown:teach what they don't know, and no one's really studied it,
Unknown:right? Yeah, so we need more people to know it,
Kate Harlow:yes, and also to put it into the curriculum,
Kate Harlow:yeah, learn about what you really need to know in life
Kate Harlow:instead of everything you don't need to know. And
Unknown:a lot of the work that I'm doing is trying to heal the
Unknown:path the damage that's been done so that we can do something in a
Unknown:different way. And oftentimes, when I'm working with people
Unknown:that have kids, they think, Oh, what am I going to teach my
Unknown:kids? I have to teach my kids this. And I'm like, No, you
Unknown:like, No, you don't. You have to do your work, and you have to
Unknown:model it in order for your kids to see something different. And
Unknown:some people choose to do that, and some people don't.
Unknown:Yep, wholeheartedly agree. So
Unknown:the third, the third toxic money belief is money makes me look
Unknown:good. So things like resilience, exactly, or you get respect when
Unknown:you have money. So you know, like, if you come into a store
Unknown:and you look terrible, or you go into a restaurant, you look like
Unknown:you're a homeless person, you don't get served. You're
Unknown:disrespected. You're not You're not honored as a human. It's so
Unknown:bizarre. But if you come in with your pressured and everything,
Unknown:you actually get free things sometimes, which is, like, it's
Unknown:a weird it's a weird dichotomy, but the world will treat people
Unknown:better when they look wealthy, right? So it's a feedback
Unknown:mechanism. So if I have money, and I have that watch, I have
Unknown:those shoes, I have all those things, I look good, and I'm
Unknown:going to be looked as successful. So, but I have to
Unknown:look like I have money, right, and that can spill over into I
Unknown:need that car. I need to buy the next house I need to buy. Like
Unknown:the consumer addiction of more is better, and spending that
Unknown:way, which could be buying the expensive things, which could
Unknown:lead to the firing every time you buy something, you get that
Unknown:that hit in your brain, and then it creates the addiction to want
Unknown:to buy. So that's what, that's what Amazon, or all the the
Unknown:online shopping, capitalizes on in a lot of ways. So it's, it's
Unknown:also related into, you know, money will solve all my problems
Unknown:if I had that. Money makes me look good, and there's never
Unknown:enough. Like all of those can be layered into the way that we're
Unknown:marketed to. As well, right?
Kate Harlow:The next one, people look like they have
Kate Harlow:money, but they're actually, like, deeply in debt, just
Kate Harlow:trying to keep up the facade of having money. My incredibly
Kate Harlow:wealthy uncle, like, wears the same sweater, you know, has the
Kate Harlow:same car forever. Like, is just like, he's so humble about his
Kate Harlow:like he and he comes from generations of wealth and also
Kate Harlow:is an incredibly intelligent guy in that department and and he
Kate Harlow:doesn't look like he has money,
Unknown:I know, so it's a lie. Money doesn't make you look
Unknown:good, yeah? Makes you look like you have a look that makes
Unknown:you look good, yeah,
Kate Harlow:yeah, yeah. And the belief feeds the addiction,
Kate Harlow:absolutely.
Unknown:And I mean, like when you can see how you're
Unknown:operating, you may not be the person that buys the boat in the
Unknown:car and all that stuff, but you do care about how you look,
Unknown:because you know you'll be treated better, rather than
Unknown:caring about how you look because you're honoring your
Unknown:being and your self expression, like there's different
Unknown:motivations by why we do what we do,
Kate Harlow:right? And the reality is, you get treated the
Kate Harlow:best when you're like in your heart and your home and you're
Kate Harlow:connected, not when you're looking because it's like
Kate Harlow:there's a facade then. So actually, you might be treated a
Kate Harlow:certain way, but it's still like from a very disconnected feels
Kate Harlow:like robotic energy.
Unknown:It's so interesting because it's never one thing
Unknown:like my partner came from a lot of money and always looks
Unknown:pressed and really wealthy, right? We go into these tiny
Unknown:villages in Greece, they charge us twice as much for our meal
Unknown:than other people. So it's so I'm like, great. I'm shocked,
Unknown:babe, you need to, you need to wear flip flops and shorts. And
Unknown:tone it down a bit, right? So, I mean, I think that there's so
Unknown:many stories that run around this. Yes,
Kate Harlow:yeah, big time. Wow, that is amazing. Oh, my
Kate Harlow:God, I'm shocked. Wait, yeah, I guess I didn't look like I had
Kate Harlow:money. I always had ripped jeans or yoga pants.
Unknown:But she loves money, and she shares it, and she talks
Unknown:about money, and she's unapologetic about how much she
Unknown:loves money, and it makes people uncomfortable. Well, if you love
Unknown:money, you can pay me more, right? Like, so, I mean, there's
Unknown:another story that's running around it, but it's interesting
Unknown:because I've seen it happen. Like, she'll go into a store and
Unknown:the price for something changes when she walks in. It's weird.
Kate Harlow:That is so wild. Oh my god, she shouldn't come to
Kate Harlow:Kenya. So and she's in the same industry too, right? Like she
Kate Harlow:helps actually say the statement that you said about yours and
Kate Harlow:hers, but with what you both do, because you're both around
Kate Harlow:helping women, around women, humans, around money.
Unknown:So her tag is, like, she wants to make women rich.
Unknown:Mine is, I want to empower women with money.
Kate Harlow:Yes, yes. They're so beautiful and so
Kate Harlow:complimentary. Yeah,
Unknown:but she's unapologetic, which I love because you can see
Unknown:in a room the people that reject her because she loves money, and
Unknown:then the people that are like fascinated that someone has that
Unknown:much conviction, and it's wild. I love it. It almost is her way
Unknown:of weeding out who would be her friend, totally.
Kate Harlow:But also, like planting the seed, even for
Kate Harlow:people who are triggered by it, it's like fully fucking owning.
Kate Harlow:I mean, I own being loving, right? I'm loving with the taxi
Kate Harlow:driver. I'm loving with the coffee like with every person I
Kate Harlow:meet, even if they seem uncomfortable. It's like, I'm
Kate Harlow:gonna blast them with care, bear, love, and that's my lane.
Kate Harlow:That's my thing. Her thing is money. So she blasts people with
Kate Harlow:money and shocks them whatever. And even if they're
Kate Harlow:uncomfortable with it, she's planting seeds. Like,
Kate Harlow:subconsciously, she's like, part of their spirit team that's
Kate Harlow:like, you know, planting seeds to wake them up on some level,
Kate Harlow:because to own it. I mean, especially as a woman, it's so
Kate Harlow:cool. I also, sidebar, I want to have dinner with you guys when
Kate Harlow:I'm in Vancouver in August. I've never met her, Victoria. We're
Kate Harlow:in Victoria. Yeah, our Victoria. But, yeah, I'll come over to
Kate Harlow:Victoria. But I have another friend that's there too, but
Kate Harlow:especially a woman around money to own it, not, not in an
Kate Harlow:insecure like trying to prove myself kind of way, but from the
Kate Harlow:rooted, sovereign woman, that's like, yeah, I love money. Like,
Kate Harlow:it's like, there's such a big difference between, like,
Kate Harlow:proving yourself around money, but or actually being rooted in
Kate Harlow:it and owning it fully. That is so fucking cool.
Unknown:Yeah, it is wonderful to be around. And I mean, when I
Unknown:was re patterning my belief systems, my toxic belief
Unknown:systems. I did a whole cleaning house of people in my life and
Unknown:and then she showed up, and she triggered the hell out of me
Unknown:around money stuff. And it was like, because I do this work,
Unknown:I'm like, Whoa. I didn't even know. I had that feeling. I
Unknown:didn't know. And so it would just. Unfolded all of my my
Unknown:resistances to wealth and now standing in it, it's like
Unknown:there's this beauty, there's this rich, gorgeous abundance
Unknown:that now we can invite other women into. Yes, my purpose is
Unknown:to let people feel seen, and hers is to be unapologetic about
Unknown:wealth. So when we marry those two with people, it's like when
Unknown:their nervous system gets out, I help them get back in line so
Unknown:that they can embody the identity of what it does it mean
Unknown:to be a wealthy woman.
Kate Harlow:I love it. And not just a woman who has money, but
Kate Harlow:a wealthy woman, because it's so much deeper and richer and so
Kate Harlow:much more than you can have all the money in the world. But if
Kate Harlow:you're not connected in that way, it's not the same thing. So
Kate Harlow:not about what's in your bank account, by the way. No,
Kate Harlow:exactly, exactly. And I can just see like, this is like the this
Kate Harlow:is what I'm talking about every frickin week on this podcast. Is
Kate Harlow:the divine orchestration life has an there's a natural
Kate Harlow:intelligence to the life that your soul is meant to
Kate Harlow:experience. And just seeing how even connected to your purpose
Kate Harlow:in the world and your mission, and how this woman had to come
Kate Harlow:into your life and crack you open and trigger you and all
Kate Harlow:your stuff. Like, often women in relationships are like, I'm
Kate Harlow:triggered. I gotta run. And it's like, the gift of the trigger.
Kate Harlow:She triggers all your shit open. And then you, and you're a money
Kate Harlow:coach and a money teacher, and then you get to see all your
Kate Harlow:blind spots and where your next level is not because you're not
Kate Harlow:already an epic money teacher, because you were back then I
Kate Harlow:worked with you, but because you needed to rise to your next
Kate Harlow:level to have a bigger impact in the world. And you couldn't have
Kate Harlow:that big of an impact in world, the world, if you didn't have
Kate Harlow:this mirror show up and reflect all those blind spots. So then
Kate Harlow:you could then own it on a bigger scale. Wow,
Unknown:yeah, I'm in my lane.
Unknown:So cool. Okay, what's the fourth toxic belief
Unknown:I have to work hard for money, or I have money requires
Unknown:sacrifice, you know, like, in order to have it, I have to give
Unknown:something up in that regard. And Mo, I think that's the operating
Unknown:system of a lot of people, you know. And in truth, when you
Unknown:start to have a dynamic relationship with money, you
Unknown:have to
Unknown:work less totally.
Unknown:And when you think you have to work hard, and I think working
Unknown:hard for money comes from like, like, especially in North
Unknown:America, you know, immigrants that have come here, they work
Unknown:the land. They they they work hard to survive, to get out of
Unknown:where they were coming from, to create a life and their family.
Unknown:It's baked in hard work is baked into North America in a lot of
Unknown:ways,
Kate Harlow:and it's baked into Africa. It's baked in all over
Kate Harlow:the world because they just work hard, and they don't make as
Kate Harlow:they make way less money, but they work really, really,
Kate Harlow:really, really hard to make their their more in survival.
Kate Harlow:And obviously, not again, not Nairobi, not all of Africa, but
Kate Harlow:but all over the world, whether it's developing countries or
Kate Harlow:Western countries or anything in between, we, I think we've all
Kate Harlow:been taught to work hard for money,
Unknown:and we're rewarded for working hard. Yeah, right. Oh,
Unknown:you worked hard. How often do you say, So, how was your day?
Unknown:Oh, it was so full. I worked really hard. Good for you,
Unknown:yeah, yeah, if you were
Unknown:sitting around here, amazing, yeah. If you're sitting around
Unknown:idly meditating and just doing your own thing and following the
Unknown:flow, people like, well, that must be nice, like, you know
Unknown:what I mean?
Kate Harlow:Yeah, and I realized, as you're talking
Kate Harlow:about this one, I'm like, oh my god, I used to work insanely
Kate Harlow:hard and make no barely any money, and now I make really
Kate Harlow:great money, and I barely work meditate and sing and frolic and
Kate Harlow:dance and and hang out and just do what I love like, and I think
Kate Harlow:that like when we're on purpose too,
Unknown:well, not even, not even I will have to counter that
Unknown:a little bit, because if you can get rid of that belief first of
Unknown:all, then you will open your eyes to the possibilities of
Unknown:where easy money can come to you, right? And then when you
Unknown:see the easy money, and you have the education, the literacy, the
Unknown:know how, and that's also what we teach, then you can leverage
Unknown:the money to create more space. So you may not be on purpose,
Unknown:yet you're just, you're just paying attention. You're not
Unknown:operating from the working hard, because people are on purpose
Unknown:and work freaking hard, Oh, for
Kate Harlow:sure time. Yeah, most of the people I know don't
Kate Harlow:have I'm also a projector, so I've just designed it very
Kate Harlow:intentionally this way. And living on the other side of the
Kate Harlow:world gives me like all day till 3pm to not do anything, and
Kate Harlow:other than what. Feels pleasurable for me. So there's,
Kate Harlow:like, a lot of variables that have allowed me to create a
Kate Harlow:life, or that have supported me to create a life that is like
Kate Harlow:that. But it's not necessarily just because I'm on purpose. So
Kate Harlow:yeah, that's important. And
Unknown:I also think that when, like, if I'm in the zone
Unknown:creating and learning and I'm working 12 hours a day, that's
Unknown:not hard. It's not hard for me. It's life giving. I'm not tired.
Unknown:I'm fully turned on. So it doesn't mean that letting go,
Unknown:because am I that's the big that working hard was my big money,
Unknown:toxic belief, and it was baked in. And I think on some level,
Unknown:it is still and I notice it so it's not like, all of a sudden
Unknown:everything's better. Like, I'm still a work in progress in lots
Unknown:of ways, but I can notice things faster.
Kate Harlow:Yes, are you a
Unknown:generator? I'm a manifest generator.
Kate Harlow:I was actually, that was my first thought. Peter
Kate Harlow:was like, 12 hours, and it feels so pleasurable. I'm like, that's
Kate Harlow:your sacral in a couple episodes, we'll talk about human
Kate Harlow:design, around purpose and all of this stuff, because that's so
Kate Harlow:funny. Because as a projector, I'm like, ooh, three calls a
Kate Harlow:day, and that's it. And like, oh, that I'm satiated. And like,
Kate Harlow:doing writing and stuff also is a different muscle. So it's,
Kate Harlow:it's, it doesn't feel like work, but it's but. But as a
Kate Harlow:projector, I'm like, great to spend many hours not doing those
Kate Harlow:things, and then I have so much capacity for those things, but
Kate Harlow:not in the same way. It's like, not 12 hours. We're all so
Kate Harlow:different ever. That's exactly it. That's why I love Human
Kate Harlow:Design and astrology and all these, these tools to understand
Kate Harlow:our systems and blueprints, because we are all so different.
Unknown:Yeah, totally, totally. Am I? Like, I in the human
Unknown:design? My sister is, like, industrious. Is her kind one of
Unknown:the pieces, and I'm the vessel for love. And so we talk
Unknown:vessel for love. Oh, yeah, yeah, wow, that's amazing.
Unknown:And and her husband is a vessel for love, too, and so she's
Unknown:industrious. So she just gets so excited about stripping paint on
Unknown:a furniture and making the furniture look beautiful, or
Unknown:crafting, or she'll spend hours and hours and hours in a
Unknown:crafting session. And I'm like, Oh, no way. I want to connect
Unknown:with people. I want to show love. I want
Kate Harlow:to, oh my God, that's the right angle cross or
Kate Harlow:Left Angle cross. The purpose, yeah, that's so cool. I'm the
Kate Harlow:right angle cross of explanation, which is, oh wow,
Kate Harlow:taking ideas that are and concepts that have been a
Kate Harlow:certain way, and flipping them on its head and be and then
Kate Harlow:people will think like bizarre or genius freak to genius, they
Kate Harlow:call it. It's like, either, like, whoa, that's genius. That
Kate Harlow:idea, like that, that thing that we've all been seeing this way
Kate Harlow:is actually that way. And what this whole podcast
Unknown:is, yeah, the new
Kate Harlow:truth, yeah. Or they think I'm a freak, which is
Kate Harlow:cool.
Unknown:It's beautiful. I love it.
Unknown:So the last, one
Kate Harlow:was that the second one, that was the the final one,
Unknown:there's one more. So the first was not enough. The
Unknown:second was, money will solve all your problems. The third was,
Unknown:money makes you look good. The fourth is, I have to work hard
Unknown:for money, or money takes sacrifice, basically. And then
Unknown:the last one is money is bad. So money does bad things. If I had
Unknown:too much money, I would be bad. I don't want to have money,
Unknown:because then I will be perceived as bad. So that's the you know,
Unknown:you look out in the world people that just want more and more and
Unknown:more, and they're destroying the planet, and they're destroying
Unknown:everything, and it's all about money, and money motivates
Unknown:people to make these choices. When we have that belief, it can
Unknown:show up in a lot of ways, that when money comes into our life,
Unknown:we become bad, right? Or you reject money because you don't
Unknown:want to be perceived as bad, or you don't believe that people
Unknown:with money do good things, and you do good things, so you're
Unknown:maintaining your identity with money is bad.
Kate Harlow:That was so many the clients that Callan and
Kate Harlow:Justin so So Brenda and I met those of you have been here a
Kate Harlow:long time have heard me talk about Callan and Justin. I
Kate Harlow:mentioned Justin a little bit ago were the amazing humans I
Kate Harlow:used to work with when I used to teach business. And Brenda was
Kate Harlow:one of our clients. She worked with us around her business
Kate Harlow:stuff, and so that's where we met to begin with. And I
Kate Harlow:remember back in the day, Callan used to talk so much about that
Kate Harlow:from stage, about the the money, money scarcity thing, but also
Kate Harlow:about the money is the it's bad, like all the because so many of
Kate Harlow:our clients were healers, and, like holistic practitioners and
Kate Harlow:all, like these big, caring hearts, hearted people. And they
Kate Harlow:were like, Oh no, no, I don't want to charge that. Much
Kate Harlow:because that's bad. Like, no, no, I don't want to. And there
Kate Harlow:was just this, like, shame and guilt around sort of that hippie
Kate Harlow:granola, like, I gotta have, if I have less, I'll be loved more,
Kate Harlow:kind of thing.
Unknown:Yeah, it's so true, and it's so it's generally in the
Unknown:healing health care solopreneurs that are doing coaching or
Unknown:spiritual counseling or things like that that often is
Unknown:something that people will face on what are they going to
Unknown:charge? You know, they don't want to charge too much, because
Unknown:then people will think they're greedy. They don't know their
Unknown:worth too in that regard, and they don't really feel like
Unknown:money should be a part of healing. And in I do a lot of
Unknown:archetypal work, and that is often the the artist archetype
Unknown:that yes, starving artist, yeah, the starving artist, or the
Unknown:artist that has a real channeled connection with source, and can
Unknown:really feel the divine guidance. But this 3d world is really hard
Unknown:for them, so they don't know how to do the 3d world very well,
Unknown:and they fail a lot at it. And so there's this relationship
Unknown:with the physical and the spiritual that needs to have.
Unknown:The physical world is just as spiritual as the divine, right?
Unknown:So there's a dance in between those two, as we start to marry
Unknown:into, you know, the magic that money can create. It is really
Unknown:magical. Actually, it is very spiritual. I mean, I have, like,
Unknown:I think I'm in a poly relationship with Jen, me and
Unknown:the Dow Jones, oh my god. Like we wake up and she talks about
Unknown:it, she shares about it, and I it's like the the the she has
Unknown:her finger on the pulse of what the planet is doing financially,
Unknown:too. So it's really, really spiritual too, because you're
Unknown:seeing the energy of how finance is moving in the world, and
Unknown:someone makes an emotional decision here, it affects this
Unknown:and like, so it's so interconnected.
Kate Harlow:Oh my god, it's so beautiful. This is so
Kate Harlow:revolutionary. Everything you're saying. And I just like, how
Kate Harlow:fucking cool is your relationship. Can I come live
Kate Harlow:with you guys for a couple of weeks and I'm home and I'll just
Kate Harlow:like, soak it up. Is so powerful and and so really revolutionary.
Kate Harlow:Like, money is magical. Can you imagine? Like, how many people,
Kate Harlow:even, you know, who are great with money? They have, like,
Kate Harlow:401, K, or whatever those things are called. That's an American
Kate Harlow:term. But, like, the they have, the the houses, the stocks, the
Kate Harlow:whatever, all the things, and they're crushing it at it, but
Kate Harlow:still don't have a connection to it. It's still like, very
Kate Harlow:militant and and very matter of fact, and checking boxes, and
Kate Harlow:they're like, Yep, okay, I have security because I was told to
Kate Harlow:have security in the future, because my parents went through
Kate Harlow:the war or whatever. Like, it's like they were taught to her
Kate Harlow:grandparents, I guess. Well, no, I'm talking to my generation.
Kate Harlow:Guess there's everyone here, but it like there's still no
Kate Harlow:connection, and to hear you even speak the words money is
Kate Harlow:magical, and watching your face like, can you imagine believing
Kate Harlow:that for everyone listening like, can you imagine waking up
Kate Harlow:and being like, excited about the money and your relationship
Kate Harlow:to money and the magic that it is and brings and that you get
Kate Harlow:to experience in having this connection and the
Kate Harlow:interconnectedness to spirituality. I mean, just this
Kate Harlow:is massive, so big.
Unknown:Yeah, I love it. I love talking about it. It could go
Unknown:into depth on so many different levels around it. My thing that
Unknown:I'm super excited about right now, and I think I mentioned it
Unknown:before, about the book that i The Lost synapse, that I wrote,
Unknown:yes, like, when I don't know if we did it on the podcast, but
Unknown:when you and I were talking about it, I did this, like,
Unknown:process, and by the end of the process, when I completed it, I
Unknown:just had to write the book. I was writing, like, three, 4000
Unknown:words a day. It was a download. It came through. It was time. I
Unknown:had to do it, right? So I followed that. But the process
Unknown:that I did before, I didn't. Can I share a little bit about that?
Unknown:Yeah, and this leads into the the course that I'm running in
Unknown:November. But, and I know it's today, is 1111, when you put the
Unknown:podcast up, right?
Kate Harlow:Yeah, oh yeah, the magic of that. It's 11. Yeah,
Kate Harlow:this episode I pre planned, and Brenda's gonna tell you about an
Kate Harlow:amazing program that she has coming up this week. And I pre
Kate Harlow:planned without knowing she had any programs. I pre planned for
Kate Harlow:her episode to be 1111 not knowing it was 1111 I was just
Kate Harlow:November 11, and I put it in the calendar, didn't even think
Kate Harlow:about the magic number. And then you tell me your course comes
Kate Harlow:out on the 15th, and I'm like, what? Wait, that is the week I
Kate Harlow:chose for your episode. Like. I know, and honestly, the magic,
Unknown:it's unbelievable, and to be safe, just to say about
Unknown:1111 This is, of course, many people know it's an angel
Unknown:number. It's a number of it's very auspicious. It's got so
Unknown:many interpretations around it, but it's the 1111. Follows me
Unknown:around twice a day, like I see it all the time. It's always
Unknown:there for me. And when I was doing this process about my
Unknown:seven generations of ancestors, I was doing this whole healing
Unknown:of my seven generations, and I had a rock for each one of them.
Unknown:So I had 126 rocks, 127 because I was one of them. And every day
Unknown:I would go deep into meditation. I do a whole process on healing
Unknown:my ancestors, and it was hard work. I was on my knees,
Unknown:bawling. I download their stories. It was intense, and I
Unknown:needed to call in reinforcements. I had some
Unknown:hypnotherapy people that helped me go through things, because
Unknown:there was black magic, there were curses, there were all this
Unknown:stuff that I really needed to unfold. And throughout the
Unknown:journey with each one of the ancestors, I would ask, Do you
Unknown:know anything about the money web that you can share with me?
Unknown:And so they would download these energies to me that I had no
Unknown:idea what they were, but when I completed all seven generations,
Unknown:so much longer story. But I had this huge altar in my living
Unknown:room, and each rock represented someone, and I would open it up
Unknown:every day, and then I'd close it down energetically. It was the
Unknown:hardest thing I've ever done in my life. But when I finished it,
Unknown:that's when my book came through. I had to do the work
Unknown:with the book, and this course that I'm teaching in November.
Unknown:It's called the intergenerational money reset is
Unknown:really a culmination of a lot of the information that has come
Unknown:through. Because this was like 15 years ago. I did it. I
Unknown:completed it, maybe not, maybe 11 years ago that I completed
Unknown:it,
Kate Harlow:11 years ago, yeah,
Unknown:it was 11 years ago. It was 2000 okay, I was 2016 is
Unknown:that 11 years? No, okay, nine years, sorry, okay, okay,
Unknown:whatever, whatever, but it would be great if it was 11. But
Unknown:anyway, so I finished this process, and I wrote the book,
Unknown:and then I wanted to do something, because so many of my
Unknown:clients were coming, and they couldn't unhinge themselves from
Unknown:some of the stories. They just kept repeating. And they would
Unknown:set the systems up, they do stuff, and it would just
Unknown:sabotage. And I knew that there was something underneath their
Unknown:behavior, and there was a level of consciousness that they had,
Unknown:and so they were willing to go into the intergenerational
Unknown:energy to unlock them. So I created this four week course
Unknown:where I hold space so it's not an it's not an online you're
Unknown:online, but I am. You're in the room with me. We really
Unknown:immersive. We really go deep, and we unhinge some of the
Unknown:belief systems, because we go through some of these toxic
Unknown:belief systems that we talk today, as well as other things.
Unknown:And we really in we do a lot of rewiring of these beliefs in a
Unknown:really theta kind of place that theta and that beta, alpha place
Unknown:where we're in that different brain wave, so we can rewire
Unknown:those things and and then create something new. And I want this
Unknown:to be a movement that once you're part of it, you can do it
Unknown:every time I offer it, so you don't have to pay again. So you
Unknown:get in, it's $97 and I want there to be this kind of like
Unknown:ripple of people that show up every time I do it, because we
Unknown:borrow the benefits of each one of us releasing right because
Unknown:we're all connected. So this is my little project right now, and
Unknown:I want to share it with as many people as possible. But I think
Unknown:what could happen in this is that it becomes easier for the
Unknown:next generation. You know, we start unhinging all of this
Unknown:stuff so that the next generation doesn't have to deal
Unknown:with it.
Kate Harlow:Yes, and you empower your children and your
Kate Harlow:nieces and nephews and any of the young people in your life
Kate Harlow:just by being and embodying this new way. Wow, that is
Kate Harlow:incredible. So four weeks, and they gather once a week, and is
Kate Harlow:there, like, what's the, what's the framework of the program?
Unknown:It's Saturdays at 10am so it's 10am Pacific, yeah.
Unknown:Pacific, yeah. I tried to pick it so it could be more
Unknown:worldwide, all over, yeah, yeah. And Saturday is a good day for a
Unknown:lot of people, and it is an hour and a half live. You get a ton
Unknown:of content and information in a platform, of course, and we have
Unknown:a really robust community platform that everyone interacts
Unknown:with each. Other and share. So as some things come up, you
Unknown:share, you talk, and we have people in the community kind of
Unknown:supporting you throughout the week. And there are meditations,
Unknown:there's breath work, there's hypnotherapy, there's a lot of
Unknown:things we do each week, live in person, so that we can really
Unknown:practice it throughout the week. So you get a an exercise. And, I
Unknown:mean, I think we do a meditation, we do breath work,
Unknown:we do a hypnotherapy, and then we do a recalibration of the
Unknown:entire pieces together as one. So it is you go deep, it goes
Unknown:deep and it goes fast.
Kate Harlow:Sounds amazing. And what? Okay, so what if you're,
Kate Harlow:what if you can't come on Saturdays? But is there a
Kate Harlow:recording that they
Unknown:do absolutely but I highly recommend coming.
Kate Harlow:Of course, the transmission will be live. It'll
Kate Harlow:be the most potent if you're there live, but it is available
Kate Harlow:if you're in a funky time zone where you can't come, or you're
Kate Harlow:you have something on Saturdays that you can't get out of. Yeah,
Kate Harlow:and
Unknown:I run it every three to six months. So when you get in,
Unknown:once you're in, you come to the next one, the next one and next
Unknown:one. And you can become, once you've bought it, you can become
Unknown:an affiliate. So when you spread it to other people, you get
Unknown:paid. So I want everyone to become an affiliate that's in
Unknown:it, so that you know, as they share it, they get a benefit as
Kate Harlow:well. Oh my gosh, it's so brilliant. So you can
Kate Harlow:even you'll, not only will you pay only $97 to do this over and
Kate Harlow:over again, which is incredibly generous, like, holy shit. Talk
Kate Harlow:about mission to change the world, but also you will
Kate Harlow:potentially make your entire money back quite fast and and
Kate Harlow:then some makeup. Make a make a side gig out of it, one of your
Kate Harlow:supplementary or whatever you said earlier about having money
