EP 538: When Purpose Isn't Paying the Bills with Karishma

What if your biggest money block has nothing to do with money? In this deeply insightful and empowering coaching session, Christine works with Karishma, a trauma-informed relationship coach who feels torn between following her purpose and contributing financially to her family in a more traditional way. Even though Karishma loves her work and knows she's helping people transform their lives, she struggles with inconsistent income, self-doubt, and the pressure to prove she can "make it" as an entrepreneur. But as the conversation unfolds, Christine uncovers something much deeper: a childhood belief formed at just six years old that still shapes how Karishma sees her capabilities today. Together they explore how early experiences around intelligence, performance, and worth can quietly sabotage confidence in adulthood—even when someone is deeply gifted and aligned with their purpose. Christine also offers a refreshing and nuanced conversation around feminine energy, contribution, entrepreneurship, accessibility, and what it truly means to be an "independent woman." If you've ever struggled to monetize your gifts, doubted your abilities, or felt conflicted between purpose and financial security, this episode will deeply resonate. Press play to discover why your purpose may not be the problem—and how old beliefs could be blocking the abundance you're meant to receive.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you feel deeply aligned with your purpose but financially stuck? Are old beliefs about intelligence, capability, or worth affecting your confidence? Do you feel pressure to prove your value through income or productivity? Are you trying to fit yourself into a version of success that doesn't actually align with your soul?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Purpose-driven work and entrepreneurship require very different skill sets. Childhood experiences around failure or "not being good enough" can shape adult money beliefs. Neurodivergence can impact confidence, communication, and traditional ideas of success. Contribution isn't measured solely by income or productivity. Feminine magnetism grows when we align with authenticity, purpose, and service—not pressure and proving.   How to Deepen the Work Reflect on the earliest memories connected to feeling "not capable" or "not smart enough." Notice where you may be measuring your worth through financial contribution alone. Reconnect with the deeper mission and purpose behind your work. Explore ways to simplify your business so you can spend more time in your zone of genius.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Kaizen Coffee + Electrolytes Christine shares her favorite mold-tested coffee and electrolyte company.
