Episode 46: Toxic Professionalism
In this weeks’ episode, I’m telling the full story of my current launch of Money Mastery and getting totally honest about what happens when you find new inspiration mid-launch.
If you’ve been following me for the past few weeks, you may have seen that I had launched this course under the name Plenty More. Plenty More is a course I love, but I’ve known that it’s been evolving into something even bigger for a while now.
I wasn’t sure what that bigger thing was yet, so I announced the next round with that niggling sense that I wasn’t quite done. And then it hit- the piece of my framework that was missing - the framework that has now become Money Mastery. And it happened right in the middle of my launch. Naturally, my first thought was ‘what on earth do I do next?’
Tune in to hear about all the questions, doubts, and conditioning that came with pivoting mid-launch. I chat through my worries about looking unprofessional, and the ways society has dictated what that means to us. And the freedom in side-lining that expectation and doing whatever it is that’ll give you AND your clients the most ease, joy, and growth.

QUOTES
“Professionalism on mass is racist, homophobic, fat phobic, classist, basically. It's about your proximity to being a white, cis male middle-class person. It’s like: how close can you be to that? The closer you are to that the more professional you are deemed.”
“So there's that side of professionalism that is deeply problematic. It's the ways in which we believe we have to show up in order to be credible, in order to be seen as trustworthy. A lot of that is about holding power in perfection. And holding power that it is not ours to hold.”
“The number one thing holding you back from making money is not that you don't have the right strategy. It's not that you don't have the right business model. It's your conditioning. It's all the stories, all the ways you're believing you have to abandon yourself to make money.”
