So I have a really, really exciting episode for you today. I had the pleasure of being contacted by Denise Duffield-Thomas' team. And to ask if I would like to interview her, which I was like, Well, like SO obvious. That's not a call. I was very much like OMG. Yes, please. So I am assuming, you know who Denise Duffield-Thomas is. If you don't, then you can thank me later. She is an amazing money mindset coach from Australia. She has had three books out already and another one's just come out and I've read her books and I've ordered the new one. I pre-ordered it, uh, which I will have by the time this episode comes out, I'm actually only recording this a week before it comes out, which is normally. We normally have a much wider window for our podcast, but obviously we wanted to get it out as quick as possible because she's got this new, amazing book out, had so much fun talking to her. She was so lovely and so much of her morals and ethics and the way she does business is in line with mine. She is also very anti sleazy, bro marketing tactics. And. She does really quality stuff. In fact, she talked me through, after the call, we carried on chatting for about half an hour, which was lovely. And she showed me her new course and like, she's put so much effort into it. And it was just so reassuring to see that someone at her level cares as much as I care at my level, that, you know, we deliver a quality service and that people get genuine transformations outta the work we do. So that was really, really ACE. Uh, I really think you're gonna love this episode, please, please, please share it. I would love you to tag us in I'd love Denise to see what an amazing audience I have and brilliant community. And I really, really appreciate it. So yeah, here is the amazing Denise Duffield-Thomas. Okay. It is with a much excitement that today I welcome to the podcast, the amazing Denise Duffield-Thomas. Denise, welcome to the podcast. Denise: Thank you so much for having me. I just so appreciate it. It was funny. I'm in winter and you're in having a massive summer. Teresa: Yeah. Yeah. Which is funny, cuz at one of my team members. Left the UK recently and finished working with me because she's gone to live in Australia for 18 months. And she's literally posting beaches and it's horrible here, and you are having a heat wave and I've moved to Australia. It's ironic. Denise: You know what? It's so funny. I actually have to check the temperature for today because you you'll just laugh. I was freezing today and I think it was about 15 degrees. Yeah. It was something like that. And I was walking along the beach and I was just like, it's so cold, but yeah. And then soon we'll have heat waves and you'll be freezing. Teresa: What's the heat. What temperature does it get there? Like what's the hottest? Denise: We do have a couple of 40 degree days, at least every summer, which can be just so hot. It. Yeah, it'd be crazy, but I, I live near the beach, so I have a nice beach breeze, which is good. I can see the oceans from here. So it's that's nice. Teresa: So cool. Isn't this the most British way to start a podcast talking about the weather? Like could I be any more start typical. Denise: Nice cup of tea. Teresa: And talk about the weather. I love it. I love it. Denise. I start the podcast the same every single time where you tell my amazing audience who you are and what you do. Now I'm sure they know who you are. But we'll human them anyway. And we'll go ahead as normal. Please introduce yourself. Denise: Of course, I'm Denise Duffield-Thomas and I'm a money mindset mentor. And by that, I mean, I help people with the mindset around charging, around having conversations around money and specifically dealing with your past and your stories and beliefs about money that stop you from living a beautiful first class life. And I do that through my books and courses called money bootcamp. And I live in Australia. If you can't tell by my accent. I'm married to a British man though from he's, from, uh, Crewe. Teresa: Nice. Denise: Yeah, and I have three kids and two doggies. Teresa: Nice. How old are your children? Denise: I thought you were gonna say, how old are your dogs? Cause I always talk dogs more than my kids. Teresa: Not interested with the kids, we talk about the dog. Denise: Um, 8, 6, and 4. Teresa: Man. Denise: And we, yeah, it's intense. And you know, my hubby went away for the weekend. On a boys' weekend and left me with them. And I was just like. Teresa: So much hard work. Honestly. I have one that I, I learned my lesson very quickly. One was enough for me. That's all I could manage. Denise: That would be plenty. Our eight year old, she goes, "I told you not to have any more kids." That's what she was saying after that, when I was trying to get them all to bed, she goes, "Should have listened to me. I told you to have no more children after me." Teresa: That is hilarious. Denise: Indeed. Teresa: And I think as well, like we were just talking because your new book is about to come out called Chill and Prosper. And we were just talking about the fact of, you know, it's hard work sometimes and having children and juggling families and working and doing all the things as much as you really do, uh, you know, demonstrate what you teach. There's still times where it gets crazy busy. Denise: Absolutely. And I'm, I'm totally in it now. And it's always of my own making. And this is what I talk about in the book is, you know, being a chillpreneur is a practice and nobody's perfect at it. And I I'm someone who is very delusional about how long things take. And my capacity to do work. So I tend to say yes to a lot of things. So what I talk about in the book is, you know, you have to sometimes develop systems. Because behavior change is actually really hard. And if you can do things in spite of having to, to change it, and I'll give you an example, my Calendly account to do, um, interviews, it used to just book things back to back. And I would just be again, so delusional about time and space and oh, I don't, I don't need to pee or eat. Teresa: Yeah. Who on earth would do those things? Denise: So, but I've set up the system in spite of myself that it could, you know, there can only be a certain amount of interviews per day. They have to have half an hour in between. So it's not about being...
