### Key Discussion Points:
1. **Authenticity and Money:** Mills shares her initial aversion to the ostentatious displays of wealth often seen in the coaching industry.

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.

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.
