In this episode of the Soul Leaders podcast, host Mills Grey dives deep into the often-taboo topic of money. She explores the complexities of our relationship with money, addressing how it impacts our personal and professional lives. Mills reflects on her own journey from feeling repelled by flashy displays of wealth to developing a healthier, more balanced perspective on money.

### Key Discussion Points:

1. **Authenticity and Money:** Mills shares her initial aversion to the ostentatious displays of wealth often seen in the coaching industry. She discusses how rejecting the focus on money was just as unhealthy as obsessing over it and highlights the importance of finding a balanced, authentic relationship with money.

2. **Common Money Mindsets:**

- **Fear and Control:** Mills explains that not caring about money is often a way to exert control in situations where one feels helpless or scared.

- **Inherited Beliefs:** Many people adopt their money mindsets from their parents or upbringing, which can manifest as fear of spending, difficulty in charging appropriately for services, or a reluctance to invest in oneself.

3. **Identifying Unhealthy Money Beliefs:** Mills encourages listeners to journal about their feelings towards money, examining whether their attitudes might be masking deeper fears or insecurities.

4. **Practical Exercise:** She suggests giving money a purpose by outlining what one would do with a significant amount of unexpected income. This exercise helps in visualizing and planning for financial growth, making it feel more achievable and less intimidating.

5. **Money as Energy:** Mills discusses the concept of money as an exchange of energy and how it often feels intangible despite its significant impact on our lives.

6. **Addressing Money Objections in Business:** She notes that financial objections are common when selling services and can stem from various issues, including unclear marketing messages or clients’ own fears around spending money.
