Money Worries, Identity, and the Trap of Being 'Good’ (Coaching Episode)

This episode explores the limiting beliefs surrounding money and abundance, focusing on the internal blocks preventing financial consistency in Bobby Hobert's coaching business. Against the backdrop of financial struggles and reliance on credit cards, the coaching session delves into Bobby's emotional justifications for not deserving wealth, tracing back to associations with money and negative connotations from his upbringing. More significantly, the conversation uncovers a pattern where Bobby creates hurdles and tasks to earn love and abundance, driven by a fear of losing good feelings and a sense of responsibility for everything in his life. As the discussion pivots to practical solutions, Joe suggests experimenting with responses to the internal critic and practicing gratitude to shift the self-definition from someone who lacks to someone who has enough. In contrast to pursuing self-improvement as a task, the episode emphasizes embracing what is true in the present moment, free from the need to earn love or achieve a future state. The emerging insights reflect the importance of self-acceptance and the power of presence in overcoming limiting beliefs and fostering genuine abundance.
