The Tiffany Han Show (formerly Raise Your Hand Say Yes)

Money, money, money! It's uncomfortable and necessary to talk about.

This week, I'm bringing back a conversation with my former business coach Lena West to dive straight into the most-uncomfortable parts of the money conversation, including: why we show up the way we do around money, what's beyond the "charge what you're worth" mantra, how to deal with money discomfort (and why it probably won't go away!), why striving to just be nice is bullshit, what happens when the people in your life aren't supportive of your endeavors, how to know what to charge, and SO MUCH MORE! 

Lena is all heart and no bullshit and will shake up your beliefs around money in the best way! Enjoy, enjoy! 

What She Said:

"The amount of money is not the point. It's about what is non-negotiable for you and standing in that." 

"Getting to 5, 6, 7-figures in your business isn't a walk in the park."

"The money has to have a meaning; otherwise it's just some arbitrary nonsense."

"Don't share dreams with people who don't have any... share your dreams with dreamers and doers."  

Those Timestamps:

03:49 - Women & Money: Valuing ourselves and money discomfort
13:28 - Why you need to charge and not give it for FREE 
20:34 - How to price your worth
26:12 - Practical tips to deal with money discomfort

Y'all! I'm taking a break! Whuuuuuut? Yes! After over 6 years of producing (at least) weekly episodes for this show, I'm talking a wee break, and in this week's episode, I'm sharing why I'm pausing now, what that's going to look like for the podcast, and how you can take a break as well.

Listen this week to find out the practical things I'll be doing during my break (because I have to make it as useful as possible, don't I? lol.) as well as the ways I'm holding space for myself. Aaaaaand you'll get to hear a little bit about what might be coming down the track for RYHSY. A new podcast name?! Maybe, just maybe. WHO EVEN KNOWS ANYTHING ANYMORE???

Oh! If you're already wondering when new episodes will be coming, don't fret! I've got a bunch of my faves queued up for your ears while I'm away!!

What I said:

"Just because you can keep going doesn't mean you should."

"Your break doesn't have to be all or nothing." 

"Let 'I don’t know' be normal. Accept it for where you are right now instead of working harder and pushing more."

Those Timestamps:

01:55 - Importance of breaks... and why I'm taking one 
11:07 - Step #1: Know what you want
20:54 - Step #2: Give yourself permission to do so
23:03 - Step #3: Identify what stays
24:37 - Step #4: Create some structure/tracking

Have you found yourself down the rabbit hole of social media lately? This week, I'm tackling doomscrolling and looking at how you can take strides towards less social media consumption and why it's important to do so.

I’ll be giving things to keep in mind about what social media is giving us these days, practical things that you can do to stop ‘doomscrolling’, why it doesn’t mean that you are bad person spending time in these apps, and the power of setting hard limits and letting go of the ‘all or nothing’ mindset as you regain power over your time.  

What I said:

"Things start to change when we are willing to tell ourselves the truth."

"Setting the boundary is the easy part. Maintaining the boundary is the hard part." 

"Be willing to set hard limits for yourself to break the habits."

Those Timestamps:

00:48 - Doomscrolling... and social media consumption dilemma
09:05 - Acknowledge what it gives you and pay attention to what it costs you
16:51 - Set a boundary for yourself
19:58 - Commit your time to the things aligned with your values 
22:31 - Change your muscle memories (moving/deleting apps)
31:43 - Turn off email or push notifications
33:53 - Buy an alarm clock, set hard limits for yourself
37:32 - Give yourself grace... think beyond 'all or nothing'
40:12 - Remember that being on social media all the time means you're behaving as expected
