  Ep 621: Why You Don’t Actually Want More Money & What You’re Really Chasing Instead 14.09.2026 33min

  In this week’s TGIM episode, Nicole is asking you to look beyond the number in your bank account and get honest about what you actually want money to give you. You might think you want more money, but what you really want could be freedom, safety, time, impact, adventure, or the ability to finally exhale. Nicole shares her own journey from chasing a capped teacher salary, to becoming an entrepreneur, to eventually realizing that even hitting financial milestones didn’t automatically create the feeling she thought they would. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode:Why money itself may not be the thing you actually want.How to uncover what money represents to you beyond the number.Why hitting a financial goal doesn't always create the feeling you thought it would.Nicole’s three-layer money exercise: What do I want? Why do I want it? How would I feel if I had it now?How to start creating more of the feeling you’re chasing before the money arrives.Why clarity around what your money is for can change the way you make decisions, sell, price, and grow your business. Nicole also shares one of her favourite manifestation stories, and why getting clear on the feeling behind the thing you want can completely change what you believe is possible. If you’re constantly chasing the next income goal but still finding yourself thinking “I just need more,” this episode will help you pause and ask a much better question:What do I actually want this money to make possible for me?Take our FREE quiz to find your fastest path to making more money in your business: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/quizPre-order our book: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/presaleSave your seat to our Book Launch Party: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/partyGrab your ticket for SHE LEADS 2027: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/she-leads-2027Try the Home Flow Method with Meg: https://wholesyum.ca/pages/wholesyum-services

After years of school conditioning, the arrival of September can make our nervous systems feel like it’s time to get serious, get organized, and start something new.

You need to get really, really good at the thing you’re already doing.So before you launch another offer, change your business model, or decide everything needs to be different, pause and look at what’s already working.What are you harvesting? What are you releasing?

  In this honest TGIM episode, Nicole unpacks one of the sneakiest blocks holding entrepreneurs back: permission-seeking. She breaks down what it actually looks like in disguise, from "let me run this by a few people first" to softening a bold Instagram caption before anyone even sees it.Nicole shares the exact moment it all changed for her: the spring of 2020, when her teacher's license came up for renewal and she chose not to renew it, letting go of the "plan B" that had quietly been keeping her one foot out of her own business. She gets real about what that decision cost her, including friendships and relationships that couldn't hold the new version of her, and why that price was worth paying.What You'll Take Away From This Episode:The difference between gathering wisdom from people in the arena and outsourcing a decision you're afraid to make.Why waiting for "readiness" is often just permission-seeking wearing a more respectable disguise.How to spot your own permission-seeking patterns in pricing, content, and the decisions you soften before anyone else weighs in.Why losing certain relationships is sometimes the cost of stepping into your next version, and why that's not a sign you're doing something wrong.Three simple steps to start giving yourself permission this week, including taking one unsanctioned action and telling people after, not before.If you've ever waited for a permission slip that was never coming, this episode is your reminder that the only approval you actually need is your own.Take our FREE quiz to find your fastest path to making more money in your business: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/quizSave your seat to our Book Launch Party: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/partyGrab your ticket for SHE LEADS 2027: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/she-leads-2027Pre-order our book: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/presale
