Emotions & Your Money: Elizabeth Ralph from The Spiritual Investor Program

Lauren interviews her money coach, Elizabeth Ralph. Through their work together, Lauren has changed her deep core beliefs about money and has made big changes in her life. Elizabeth describes how her strong connection to animals (especially horses) caused her to redefine and create her own version of freedom. She explains how others can do the same: find your “why”, set goals to reach it, focus on the steps, and everything will slowly fall into place. Lauren explains how and why this happens. Your brain naturally starts moving your actions toward that goal, the more you think about, focus on and work toward it. Elizabeth discusses how most are taught and shown that when money comes in, we are supposed to spend it. It’s become normalized to not take a portion to grow it for your own benefit. While this is great for our economy, it does not help individuals build wealth. When working at regulating emotions, be sure to apply that same skill to your money. Focus on staying neutral when it comes to money decisions, instead of making choices out of fear.Elizabeth’s RecommendationsFind a resource that resonates with you, where you feel a connection. Then, be open to learning and thinking differently about money. Dial-in on your cost of living and prioritize needs vs. wants. Quotes from this episode:Wealth is built on micro-decisions. The best money decisions are made from a place of neutrality, not fear. Try-at-home tip:  Forget saving…teach kids how to grow money.Guest Bio:Elizabeth Ralph is a money manager, high-level business coach, and Founder of Financial Story LLC. She also developed The Spiritual Investor Program, the place where entrepreneurs transform from unsure investor to bad ass money manager. Formerly a financial executive and energy trader, Elizabeth shifted her focus entirely in 2012 while feeding Cheetos to a kangaroo on a beach in Australia. She realized that in order to fulfill her purpose of saving unwanted horses she needed to break free from the confines of corporate world. So right then and there, she decided to go “all-in” and set up a strategy to achieve financial freedom within 10 years. The result? The Financial Story framework was born and so was the amazing horse property that she and her wife call GiveGrass Ranch.How to contact Elizabeth:Instagram @elizabethralph The Spiritual Investor Program waitlist (usually opens twice per year) Website   Do you have a question?
