Speaker:

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

Kate Harlow:

come in many ways easily, easily. Oh my gosh. Brenda, God.

Kate Harlow:

Kate Harlow:

link it in the show notes, of course. But also, I have to

Unknown:

be honest, it's not on my website because I'm revamping

Unknown:

everything right now, but I will put the sales page in the show

Unknown:

Unknown:

Kate Harlow:

And the intergenerational money reset?

Kate Harlow:

Kate Harlow:

know what show notes are, they also Google. Like, how to find

Kate Harlow:

show notes, or it's below each episode,

Unknown:

yeah? So it's, it's money and a n, d desire.com, and

Unknown:

then slash intergenerational money reset.

Kate Harlow:

Intergenerational money reset, run, get your spot,

Kate Harlow:

share this link. Well, you can get an affiliate. Can they get

Kate Harlow:

an affiliate link now?

Unknown:

No, they need to actually buy, okay? And then you

Unknown:

can become an affiliate, and then anyone that you share it

Unknown:

with, you get 10% basically, of anything that they buy. So you

Unknown:

get 10 bucks every time someone buys it,

Kate Harlow:

amazing. So, so for now, just focus on yourself. I

Kate Harlow:

mean, obviously, still spread the word to all your friends and

Kate Harlow:

Kate Harlow:

valuable. Spread this episode with every woman you know. This,

Kate Harlow:

this, this needs to be in the ears of women everywhere on

Kate Harlow:

planet Earth. I mean, gosh, what a different world it would be if

Kate Harlow:

we were all empowered around money and love and they're the

Kate Harlow:

exact same thing, like every one of those beliefs. I'm like, yep,

Kate Harlow:

women have a lot about money and about money, about love that,

Kate Harlow:

about love that, about love. They're all the same. So, so, so

Kate Harlow:

interconnected. And, yeah, this is unbelievably powerful. So, so

Kate Harlow:

excited to hear how it goes. And I mean, probably I'll be there,

Kate Harlow:
