S4E7: Money Is Not a Reward for Perfectionism With Ray Dodd
Today I’m chatting with a long time coach of mine, Ray Dodd.
Ray is a Money Coach who helps those who have traditionally been excluded from making money, to make life-changing amounts of money. All without compromising who they are.
Ray is a money coach with a difference. You won’t hear ‘just think good thoughts and watch the money come rolling in’ from her. Ray believes that money, business and intersectional feminism are inextricably linked and that there’s a lot more to making money than just trying to manifesting it.
I wanted to bring the subject of money to the podcast because I think - I know - it’s something that can feel sticky for chronic illness folk. I’m not just talking about the very silent shame-filled reality that so many - including me at points in my life - have to step away from work - and therefore money making in the traditional sense - due to chronic illness.
I’m also referring to the link between self-worth and belief and money (which Ray is a wondermind on - and how when our sense of self or self concept is low, along with ourselves we can fall into the pattern of assign a lower monetary value to what we have to offer to the world in terms of our expertise, skills and loved experience.
There’s loads more we talk about, but I’ll leave that to the actual episode! I know you’re going to love it.
