And then write out a whole bunch of both like topics you would share if you were just being your quote authentic self, maybe formats in which you would share it, right? Just go on a whole bender pretending that you felt comfortable totally live streaming your life. Then in the next column, what do you imagine being the buttoned up business business?
girl boss version, the one that you feel pressure to pretzel yourself into, make a column for, okay, well, what would be the topics or the way in which I express myself? What would that look like? Right. And then you have to find a third way, which I do believe is possible. That third way of how do I blend the two?
you might make some rules for yourself, which are certain topics are off limits right now. Like I share pretty much everything in my life and that's how I grew my newsletter to 50,000 people. But you better believe my wife is like, you are absolutely not talking about our sex life. There are some rules. Last night I posted, I have anxiety.
I was curling my hair and yeah, I don't know if we want to include this in the podcast. I think I'm okay with it, but like I smoked some pot because like I live in California and it's allowed. And I posted on Instagram. I said, wow, this is the best way to simultaneously stop my anxiety and come up with amazing ideas because the act of curling my hair while stoned, you have to be so, so focused.
to not hurt yourself. And in that focus, I kind of created a state of flow. Since I posted that I've been stressed because that felt too exposed for me, even though I'm not embarrassed that I have, you know, used marijuana, like there's still a stigma. My mom's going to see this, you know, again, I've decided to share it. And But the point is, it's a line that will move, right?
It's a line that will move and change because you are moving and changing. You just need to figure out the what as like a foundation for your business, the way you talk about your business, the way you conduct your business, the way you price your business. Foundationally, what is aligned with your values? So how, you know... You're not going to price the highest nor the lowest.
You're going to have a philanthropic aspect to what you do. You're going to look at marketing as all the free content. So you never have to feel bad about charging for people. When you put yourself out there, it will be your authentic self. However, a non-raw self. Right.
So it's like if we're going to be girly about it, it's like if you decide I'm never going to wear makeup on social media, but I'm going to throw some lipstick on. That's how I see it. And then it's a muscle that you develop over time. Just like in negotiating with people, you get better at it, but also it gets harder because the stakes get higher.
So just as something's working for you this quarter, I want you to reevaluate it and say, okay, so based off of all the free content that I'm putting out there and how I'm expressing myself, you know, where we want to make some tweaks. Where did I feel too exposed, but also where did energetically it feel like I had to become another person. And that's just not right.
Just pushing yourself to say, am I looking at this in too much of a binary? Is this black and white? That's most of us, by the way, we're wired oftentimes to see things in black and white, right? There's either danger or safe. No, that's why we're constantly frustrated because life is in the gray and life is in the contradiction that many things are true at once.
So when you do find yourself up against a wall in some aspect of your business, your money, your life, et cetera, just, I would say the first thing to ask yourself really is, is there another way to look at this? Like, am I really seeing it as a zero sum game here? You know, is it possible to find another way in? On that note, I want to thank you so much for being here.
And I'm honored to get a chance to coach you, but also do it on Money Rehab. Thanks to Nicole Lappin for giving me the opportunity to guest host while she's away on maternity leave. And just know that hopefully I helped you today, Danielle, but in sharing your story, we certainly helped other people too. hopefully gain some next steps, but also just recognize that they're not alone.
We're all going through this. And just because I'm the one sitting over here, quote, coaching you, girl, I'm coaching myself. I'm right in it with you. Is there anything you want to share as we close up?
Yeah. And by the way, money is just a portal. It's symbolic too, right? So if you find that you're looking at money in a certain way, I would challenge you to say, okay, am I looking at other things also in that way? So whether it's your interpersonal relationships, romantic relationships, the relationship you have with yourself, with your time, with your kids, whatever.
Again, more for me is less for you. Is that always true? Could there be more for me is more for you? I know that this stuff is really true. I started my career in first independent film production, so raising money for a foreign film. And then I went to nonprofit fundraising. Giving feels good. Also, people were getting their name on the credits, which they then leveraged for other projects.
It was networking. Yeah. People don't do things just solely out of the goodness of their heart. They really are getting things for it. So just challenge yourself. More for me is more for you. And by the way, what an abundant way to go through life, right? That like one plus one equals 11. Life can be way bigger and more expansive than I think we give ourselves credit for.
And a lot of it has to do with feeling proud. Like it's not just a necessary evil to charge this amount or to put ourselves out there. But I really do believe we can get to a place where... Every time that we say our price point or apply for the job or market ourselves, we're letting another person out there know that we've got them, right? We can solve their problem. We recognize them.
They're not alone. We give them an opportunity to participate, right? Like if you have an idea and now they get to participate in your idea and it changes their life, okay? More for me is more for you. On that note, thank you, Danielle. And thank you to all for watching and listening. We'll see you next time.
Money Rehab Hi, I'm Claire Wasserman, the founder and author of Ladies Get Paid, a coaching practice newsletter and podcast dedicated to helping women embrace their worth inside and out. I'm so honored to be guest hosting for Nicole while she's out on maternity leave, although a bit of a heads up that
My hosting, it's slightly different because instead of interviewing my guests, I'm actually coaching them. They'll be calling in cameras off just to protect their identity so that they feel as comfortable as possible to share. That's because I believe that transparency is transformative. And when you can see yourself in someone else's journey differently,
