Episode 47: Invest in yourself, change the world.
In this episode, I’m chatting with the brilliant Natalie Miller about what it really means to invest in your business and the huge impact this can have not just on your life, but on society as a whole.
For people who have been traditionally left out of money making, it can feel dangerous, taboo or even shameful to desire more. Whether we realise it or not, we hold ourselves back: we under-price, we overwork, we focus on the limits of our market value instead of our value. Natalie and I talk through how you can break out of this shame cycle and into a space that prioritises your values on a level that not only improves your own life, but also allows you to invest in others in a life changing way.
We get deep into what it means to invest, and how to define the value of investments that are less tangible, like learning, coaching and self-development. If you’re looking to make an investment that allows your business to grow in impact, income, and integrity, this is one not to miss!

QUOTES
“As our identity is pushed more and more to the margin, desire becomes more and more and more demonised and problematic.”
“What I'm investing in are those vibes, those values, that perspective. And then it kind of takes me away from the dollar amount. It takes me away from: how many pounds? And is much more like: Okay, what do I need to do in my own life in order to get access to that?”
“I think if we're going to a coach and we are thinking, ‘they're going to give me something I don't have,’ we're going to be disappointed. Because a) it doesn't work like that… It's not like donating blood. I can't say: here's some courage, here you go. It's more like: I'm resonating with this and that person. That must be because it already exists in me. So let me, they can help me find that.”
“That's another reason to invest in coaching with someone who shares your values, right? As you get more powerful, you'll exercise that power with more integrity.”
“I love to tip 100%, at least when I have a service. When I have something for my body or when I travel, I love to leave a large tip for the person who cleans rooms… and the way that I am able to do that is to be a conduit for wealth: the more money that I can kind of pull through and inspire my clients to pull through.”
“I might be saying: let’s all have wealth that changes the world. But if I'm not changing my own self, if I'm not working on the ways that the world is constantly asking me to be afraid, then basically that is where the business model becomes exploitative.”
