Episode 45: Uprooting Scarcity - Live Coaching with Anna Le Grange
I am so excited to share today’s episode as it’s the first of a new, experimental limited series!
One of the things I love the most about group coaching is the way that one person’s realisation can have a huge impact on the people who witness it. This collective processing that happens allows us to reach parts of ourselves we otherwise may not have found.
With this new series, I’ll be coaching someone live in each episode, talking through one question that they’ve brought to the table until we reach a new insight.
Today, I’m coaching Anna Le Grange, a lactation consultant who helps families and professionals navigate their way through the world of breastfeeding.
Anna’s question: 'How do I keep growing my business and sustaining it during a huge life change?' Anna is specifically moving abroad, but Anna’s question could really apply to any huge life event… or even just the constantly changing current world (see the past few years).
We start our chat with a course that Anna’s reluctant to let go of, exploring whether it’s a good idea to discontinue an offer in order to allow for growth… even if that means a momentary dip in income.
This leads down the path of how to fill your business with things that you’re in alignment with, and the stories that keep us from growing into this space. We talk panic around money, the hit of shame your ego takes when things are not going well in your business, and the need for comfort and security that might lead to scarcity… and ways to break free of it all.
I’ve absolutely loved making this series, and send a huge thanks to Anna for kicking it off with me!

QUOTES
RAY: “So one of the things I'd really encourage you to do… is to get really clear on the numbers. In your business and in your family. One of the things that people don't do enough of is we feel that we need something, but we don't check if we actually, physically need it.”
ANNA: “It's more about my ego, you know? What does it say about me if my business isn't growing from last year? What does that mean about who I am and where I've got to in business over four/ five years?”
RAY: “If you think of that kind of energy you're putting into it, it's: ‘I'm carrying on with this because I'm not capable of creating that money elsewhere.’ And that is not the kind of bold version of yourself that I know you created your whole business with. That was much more like: ‘there's nothing like this in the world and I'm going to go out and do it.’
RAY: “I would love for you to get super clear on what success means to you. Cause it feels to me like you've got a bit of cognitive dissonance about it. On one hand you're like, I don't think success is just money. And yet, I feel unsuccessful because I'm not making enough money.”
RAY: “What I do now with the younger version of me- this one's sort of like maybe like nine- literally in my head, I crouch down. And say yeah, it's okay. Adult me is here. I've got this. You're not the one in charge of this bit. And we have that chat.”
RAY: “Look at where you're making a decision from. Is it from: ‘This would be exciting? This feels expansive’. Or is this from: ‘I cant.’
