The money conversation most people avoid
Talking about money in business still feels awkward for a lot of people.
And not just for those running a business.
…This shows up for employed professionals too.
Whether you're negotiating a pay rise, managing workload boundaries, or trying to feel more in control of your finances, your relationship with money is there.
Even if you're not consciously looking at it.
I’ve had so many conversations lately with people saying:
“I avoid money stuff because I know there’s something deeper there.”
“I thought this kind of work wasn’t relevant because I’m not self-employed.”
That’s exactly why I recorded Episode 278 of The Inner Work Conversation.
It’s not an episode about how to make more money.
It’s about the beliefs and behaviours you’ve absorbed around asking, receiving and being supported.
It’s about your capacity to feel safe when things flow toward you instead of always coming from you.
Here’s what I said in the episode:
“You don’t do this for free. You’re not in business for free. It’s not a hobby.”
“Money is the tangible access point into your deeper inner work.”
“You don’t have to earn the right to be supported.”
If you’re a professional who:
Struggles to talk about money without overexplaining
Undervalues your contribution because it “comes naturally”
“You’ve linked your worth to how much you give and how little you need …and it’s exhausting.”
This episode will help you take a clearer, cleaner look at where that might be coming from and what’s possible on the other side of it.
🎧 Listen to Episode 278: This isn’t just about money – it’s about you
And if this work is something you want to go deeper with, we're exploring this topic inside The Inner Work Business Book Club all through May.
It’s £12/month with a 7-day free trial and it’s open to employed and self-employed professionals alike.
This isn’t just about money.
It’s about what you believe you’re worthy of.
And that’s a conversation worth having.
