Christine Labate, owner of Good Measure Finance, shares her expertise on the impact of “knowing your numbers” to help you make data informed, to grow your profits and scale your business.

For those of you that are listening that don’t yet own your own business or don’t plan to own a business, you will still want to tune into this episode to hear Christine’s take on money management as these principles and insights can be applied to your personal finances as well.  Or, perhaps you’ll be inspired to take the leap into entrepreneurship as part of your journey to financial freedom. 

All the topics in this series are of equal importance when it comes to creating lasting long-term change in your relationship to money. But this topic in particular is where you will begin to see the magic happen. It is ‘experimenting with new ways of being,’ meaning we are now putting our new beliefs to the test, taking action, and breaking our patterns to observe a different outcome. 

Without this step of experimenting with new behaviours or responses, we would all still struggle to believe the new stories we have written because we would have no proof. To put it another way, this step is where we actually re-wire our brain for financial freedom.

A community of women who are focused on building financial independence through personalized coaching, effective budgeting, and money management techniques.

If you're like me and you have often thought you don't have enough money to budget or a budget feels too restrictive, then you will love this episode and Raya's shift in perspective on what a clear vision and an effective budget can do to help you reach your financial freedom goals faster.

Welcome to episode 5 of this limited series, 'For Love & Money.' We’re half-way through the process of healing our relationship with money and this is where we shift from reflection to action. 

In this episode, we’re going to talk about challenging our beliefs around money. This isn’t just about challenging the negative or false beliefs about money (although that is a good place to start). It’s really about challenging any beliefs that are unhelpful when it comes to our personal money story.

In this episode, I will share with you an overview of the 6-step trauma informed process that I used to go from panicked and anxious about money to having an unshakable confidence that I will achieve my version of financial freedom and reach my 5 year financial goals without getting discouraged by my current negative net worth or the state of the economy.

And, how you can start this process for yourself today, no matter where you are at on your journey of healing your relationship with money. Let's dive in!
