Which brings me to the deeper work for those of you who are ready to unravel and unburden your broke baggage. So here are prompts to get you started. What is the story that you're telling yourself about money? What is the story you tell yourself about how you can make money? What is the story you tell yourself about how you spend money, about how other people spend money or make money?
Your money story is what you believe that money represents and how it's used. So for example, for me, right, I came to that conclusion of, okay, I want my kids to feel free to create the life they want. Money equals freedom for me. It also can be power. It can be security. It can be love. So again, what does money represent and how is money used?
Knowing this can really help shed some light, give context to why maybe you've been stuck with your broke baggage. Now, if you really want to see this come to life, go check out the episode that I did with Danielle, who believes that you have to burn out in order to make money. That's what she's done in the past. That's been the example that's been set by her family.
So it was hard for her to imagine any other way of being. The other thing that she believes is that getting rich is mutually exclusive with being a good person. And as you saw in that episode, she mentioned how she was raised. And that brings me to the next question I want you to ask yourself is, where did this money story come from? And who did I learn it from?
This is where we're putting on a detective hat, just digging deep into that broke baggage, trying to understand why. the context in which we learned it. Whether it was consciously learned or absorbed, it doesn't matter. But we've got to try to figure out where the heck this came from in order to unburden it, all right? So what I want you to do is to reflect on what's called financial flashpoints.
It's just a fancy way of saying memories from the past about money that are particularly emotionally charged for you. So if you can think back to the first memory that you've had about money, That's a good one. By the way, it doesn't have to be a big dramatic situation. It's just when was the first time that you became aware of this thing called money? And then see if you can go from there.
When else have you experienced any kind of emotional charge around money? Here are the prompts to ask yourself next. Who was there? What did they say or do? Now this is where we're going to get a little bit imaginative. What do you think were their underlying stressors and fears?
So really imagining their broke baggage and then putting yourself in their shoes, trying to visualize how they maybe grew up and what messages around money they received. And now see if you could just send a little bit of compassion to them, especially if you're almost imagining yourself as them growing up. witnessing whatever they witnessed. By the way, none of this stuff has to, quote, be true.
This is all in your imagination. But really do your best to honor the emotional authenticity of who this person was and how you could envision the way that they received their broke baggage. Gosh, you might feel a little bit bad for them, and that's OK. Here's what I want to demonstrate to you. If you can learn something, That means you can unlearn it too.
None of this stuff was inevitable, as hopefully you've seen in the way that you imagine this person who impacted you. Well, who impacted them? If all of this stuff was passed down, it means there's a point in which you can consciously choose to not continue to pass it down. And that's what we're going to do in just a minute.
Now, for those of you who are very intellectual, and I sort of count myself among you, If you think knowledge just stays in your head, you are going to stay stuck because we absolutely carry knowledge in our bodies. So as you imagine the person or the people who burden you with their broke baggage, I want you to visualize the following.
So where do you feel like maybe their baggage is being carried in their body? So it helps to close your eyes here for this. All right, so my mother gave me her broke baggage. I'm going to imagine that her baggage Money stressors, they exist in her shoulders. And now I'm going to imagine blasting warm light at it. This just like sunbeam going at this broke baggage.
And in doing that, the broke baggage disintegrates. And then I want to blow it out into the air. Seriously, if you are somebody who's skeptical of what I'm saying, but you've tried a bunch of other shit and it's not working, give this a chance. Do it a couple of times.
Again, the whole point is we've got to address not just the thoughts, not just the feelings up here in our mind, but where is it in our body? And we need to release it. Otherwise, it will stay stuck and we will stay stuck. the reason I'm having you release this other person's broke baggage first, right? Because you're probably thinking, well, Claire, what about me? Let's get to me.
I'm getting to you in just a second. The reason I want you to forgive and release this other person's broke baggage first especially for women, can be a lot easier to do things on behalf of other people than it is to do it for ourselves, especially if we are still struggling with some feelings of unworthiness and adequacy.
If you're a person who can self-sabotage, you get in your own way, that's why we begin with doing it for somebody else first. Then we can see, ah, that felt good. It felt good to relieve and release this broke baggage for this other person. then you're going to do it for yourself. So you're going to go through all those prompts I just gave you.
So you can pause the video or the podcast, go back, rewind. All right. And you're going to do it again for yourself. But at the end, I want you to imagine coating your body with gold paint. Yes, gold paint. This is your way of kind of bubble wrapping yourself, protecting yourself.
making that definitive and declarative statement that yes, whatever chaos is happening out here, whatever number is in that bank account, you will not let it permeate Yourself on the inside, right? You are protected. Now, woo woo, as all of that might've sounded to you, seriously, it's based on research. I promise you, it is based on research.
It is backed by principles and it helped me and the clients that I've worked with, including one woman who even legally changed her last name to gold. Yes, she changed her last name to gold because that exercise was so effective for her in protecting her PSP.
But I'm going to warn you, losing your broke baggage is not going to happen overnight, and it's not going to happen with one visualization. So you need to find a way to kind of tangibly chart your progress. Otherwise... You're just not going to want to keep going. This progress, it really can't be tied to anything external, meaning when I make more money, I'll feel better.
