Replay Expert call with Kate Northrup

All I can say about our last Guest Expert call with Kate Northrup is WOW! She led an incredibly powerful—I’d say groundbreaking—discussion on how our nervous system impacts our finances. I urge everyone to listen.

Here are some of the take-aways I thought were important…

  • To our nervous system, anything unfamiliar is unsafe;
  • We can’t “reason” our way to feeling safe
  • We need to regulate our nervous system to feel safe, to go beyond surviving and start thriving
  • Some ways to close “emotional stress loops” (or unfelt emotions stuck in our body) are through movement, breath, sound, laughter, tears, and orgasm.
  • It’s important to know your numbers, but do it from a place of love and excitement, not fear
  • When we regulate our nervous system, we can create solutions based on Love and Safety, not The Lie of Scarcity and The Lie of Separation
  •  And so much more….

I urge you to listen to CFP Amy Irvine’s excellent talk on Estate Planning, especially if you weren’t there live. I learned so much, even though I just went through the estate planning process when my mom died 2 years ago.

Amy gave us a ton of vital information about creating a Health Care Proxy (should be #1 on your to-do list), a will (crucial for those you leave behind), a Durable Power of Attorney, a HIPPA Agreement (especially if you have children 18+), assigning beneficiaries to bank accounts, etc.

Sheryl Kosovski gave a terrific and quite inspiring presentation on debt reduction and budgeting. It was jam packed with important information such as:

  • There’s actually good debt, but credit cards don’t fit in that category, even those with 0% interest
  • What causes the cycle of debt, paying it off then slipping back in it and why it’s so difficult to stop
  • Making managing money a sacred experience
  • Biggest fallacy in the financial world
  • What to do if you can’t make the minimum payments

Sheryl also mentioned some great resources during her call.
