How to stop worrying about money

Welcome to another year of the Chill & Prosper podcast!

 

We’re diving right into the big stuff: money worries.

 

I’m ready to stop worrying about money! 

 

Let’s face it: there are so many things happening in the world right now that can make us feel unsure. The last couple of years especially have created a lot of money worries for a lot of people. 

 

And let's not gaslight ourselves:, there are real economic pressures that are happening right now.

 

So that's my disclaimer straight off the bat, today’s podcast episode is not about loving and lighting our way out of money worries. 

 

And I’m also not pretending that those things don't exist - that the economy is perfect, there's no poverty in the world, and we're just going to ignore all of that. 

 

No, I’m talking about what you can personally do when you're feeling worried about money, as everyone can have money worries at any level of income. 

 

You might think that when you have a particular amount of money, then you'll never feel fearful about money again. 

 

And that's absolutely not true. 

 

You can feel good at any income level, and you can also feel not so good at any income level. 

 

You might think, "Oh, Denise, she's the chillpreneur. She's so lucky. She must never worry about money." 

 

And you know what? That is true a lot of the time. 

 

So I want to acknowledge my privilege here.

 

I'm a very wealthy woman, and I absolutely have a lot of privilege and wealth in my life now. 

 

But that doesn't mean I still don't worry about money sometimes. 

 

I worry about my responsibilities. 

 

I worry about being able to take care of all of my employees, my family, and my assets. 

 

So I do a lot of the things I share in today’s podcast to help me when I feel scared.
