The OutSpoken Girlfriend with Naomi Clark

In some areas we are brimming with self-trust, and in other areas...not so much. And that's okay. The process of cultivating self-trust is a life-long practice.  Because of this, it helps to be reminded that doubt is part of the human experience.    This can include doubt and uncertainty when it comes to making decisions about money. When it comes to making money decisions, our thoughts and beliefs about money are guiding our actions.  Money does not spend itself.  Money does not save itself. Money does not invest itself.  Money does not earn itself. We are the ones making the decisions.     But we are making money decisions within a belief system. Our belief system is something to help us to make sense of the world.  Our belief systems act as a filter through which we view the world and our place in it.    And countless beliefs are interwoven within our belief systems.     We have beliefs about ourselves.  Beliefs about our self-worth and our capabilities.  Beliefs about what we "should" do (or not do) with our money.  We have beliefs about our partners, spouses, and folks with whom we share financial responsibilities. Often times our beliefs about money are instilled in us early on, as children.     There are the beliefs we are told outright about money from our families, elders, friends, and communities. There are the beliefs placed upon us by society and the culture we live- in terms of who gets to have money and who does not.  Who is good with money and who is not? Who is worthy of investment and who is not?   Listen to today's episode where we cover the following key topics: The concept of belief and those beliefs we hold both at the conscious and subconscious levels. Because there is no talking about money without talking about beliefs and how it shows up in our day to day decisions which includes decisions around money.  Some of the common money stories and beliefs that can get in the way of your goals.   Learn an easy and simple method on how you can flip the script on some of the money beliefs that may be getting in your way.      This is an important topic we are covering on today's episode.     Naomi ____________________________________________________________________   Sign up to get More Money, More Power, an email I send a few times a month.

Early graffiti artists were commonly called "writers" or "taggers" (individuals who write simple "tags," or their stylized signatures, with the goal of tagging as many locations as possible.) The goals was to have one's work seen by as many people as possible, in as many places as possible. So taking a rivals tag name and replicating it upside down or backwards was a way to showcase one's own superior skills. It was a way to show a rival's "script" or "tag" was so simple you could replicate it any way.  This is where "flip the script" originates and it's important for us to recognize it – Click Here to read more.

"On The Other Side Of Rest Is Flow" which is a quote and teaching I've learned from one of my friends and mentors Ixchel Lunar.  I'm very excited to be back and releasing new episodes of the OutSpoken Girlfriend podcast. I thought that I was going to take a shorter vacation and be back on the mic in June...but here we are over halfway through July and this was the time I needed.   Today is a behind the scenes episode. Slowing down created space for me to really pay attention to what was going on within me and to just rest. Here's the thing, although I was taking time off for rest, the time away was not all rainbows, butterflies, and unicorns. There were some doubts and insecurities and questions that came up. But with time comes perspective so I'm in a position to share more on this.  Listen in to hear me talk about self-doubt, visibility, who gets to rest (and who does not), and some of the mind-f*ckery that is so critical to deconstruct in our modern society.  I had real worries I'd have no more podcast listeners since I was not putting out new content the last few months.  This worry led me to get curious about just how deep within all of us is the culture of relentless productivity and the edict to "get sh*t done" at any cost. It's time to vanquish the hold of relentless productivity- and live in a state of flow.

Today I'm taking you behind the scenes on the podcast today. Join me as I share some "in real-time" challenges in front of me- and what I'm doing to embrace rest and reject perfectionism. Here's a hint- awareness of the need for rest and relaxation does not immunity from the culture of relentless productivity. I encourage you to continue taking time for rest, for relaxation, for creativity, and to just BE.  It can be difficult sometimes to take a break for yourself. When you care about others, when you are accustomed to being of service in some capacity to others- it may feel hard to carve out time for yourself but you can't pour from an empty cup.  Naomi _________________________________________________ To sign up to More Money, More Power- CLICK HERE   Episode Resources Episode 43  Cultivating Power And Living With Unapologetic Joy Episode 45 The Power Of 'Ish: How To Flourish, Lavish, And Relish Your Life Episode 52 My Manifesto: Rallying, Resting, And Rejecting GSD Culture   JourneyGurl Magic Productions- The OutSpoken Girlfriend podcast is edited by JourneyGurl Magic Productions.

We live in a culture that rewards creativity and innovation for the purpose of consumption and profit. The economics of capitalism tells us we are creating value only when there is an economic gain tied to that creation.  And in part, this what encourages folks to turn something they love doing, something they love CREATING into a side hustle or a business.  This is when folks are told do something you love and you will never work a day in your life.     Well this is the type of creativity we are NOT talking about on today's episode.   We are not talking about monetizing your creations. We are not talking about creativity for the purpose of consumption.    Today on the podcast I am talking about creativity that is just FOR YOU. Creation done simply for the joy of it. It may require going back to a time when you didn't have responsibilities, and seeing what you use to do that felt good.  This is the time to get introspective.   Join us on today's podcast to learn why it's so important we make this commitment to ourselves.   Naomi ____________________________________________________________________________   To sign up to More Money, More Power- CLICK HERE.   Episode Resources Episode 43  Cultivating Power And Living With Unapologetic Joy Episode 45 The Power Of 'Ish: How To Flourish, Lavish, And Relish Your Life   Naomi's IG Post referenced in today's episode – CLICK HERE   JourneyGurl Magic Productions- The OutSpoken Girlfriend podcast is edited by JourneyGurl Magic Productions.

Today on the podcast I'm talking about the various falsehoods being promoted and upheld within the personal finance and personal development space.  These are the falsehoods that infiltrate our minds and our hearts when it comes to money, debt, worth, value, purpose, and passion.    These are the falsehoods that can bring up feelings of shame and doubt around how we think about ourselves and our efforts.   These are the falsehoods that also spread misinformation about whose work in the world is treated with dignity and respect-and whose work in the world is treated as menial and unworthy of respect.  So how do we start to remedy some of these falsehoods? How do set the record straight and get on the path to making right what has been wrong?   Tune into today's episode to get insights on the following: Why it's incorrect and incongruent to equivocate working hard with wealth Why I coined the term Mindset Masquerade, what it means and the damage it can inflict Why "financial freedom" is problematic and perpetuates oppressive systems   How to identify and disarm the impact of Debt Shaming Culture in your money decisions   _________________________________________________ To sign up for More Money, More Power- CLICK HERE.   Episode Resources Episode #5- Disconnect Your Self Worth From Your Debt Episode #27- Managing Your Money In Uncertain Times Episode #33- The Invisible Predator In Your Finances Episode #44- Debt Shaming, Financial Freedom, & The Mindset Masquerade Episode #79- Where The F*ck Is My Money- Workshop Q&A Book: The Whiteness Of Wealth by Dorothy A.

Today on the podcast we are talking about how we take care of ourselves- especially when things are feeling really heavy and hard.    There is a lot of information and talk about self-care and all the different ways one can promote self-care in your life.  From self-care practices that are indulgent and luxurious to self-care practices that helps us protect our energy and our boundaries.     But what about community care?  The type of care that comes from being in relationship with others? This is not a new idea or novel concept- since the beginning of time human beings have engaged in community care.     So how do we bring this age old way of living into our lives today? This is what we are talking about on the podcast.   Naomi ____________________________________________________________________________   More Money, More Power  A few times a month I send out an email titled More Money, More Power to friends of the podcast.

Today on the podcast we are talking about the power of everyday people-specifically the power we have with our daily choices, with our actions, with our words, with what we speak about and what are silent about- ultimately the power we have to create a society and culture where we are all valued, where we are all safe, and where we all embrace our shared humanity.    How do we use this power? By rooting out white supremacy culture (aka white supremacy delusion).   Because white supremacy culture at its core- is violent. And the violence of white supremacy culture comes in all forms- there is direct violence, structural and systemic violence, interpersonal violence, and collective violence.  There is violence to the mind, heart, and psyche. There is violence to the spirit and violence to the soul.  There is violence that is passed down from generation to generation. And there is the violence of silence and complicity.  The violence of white supremacy culture is all-encompassing.     The good news is this- we can root out white supremacy culture. We can deprive it of oxygen and not allow it to spread.   Tune into today's episode is to learn 5 actions you can take to root out white supremacy culture. This is how we f*ck up the oppression getting in our way- in our day-to-day lives, at the individual level and the collective level.   Naomi   ____________________________________________________________________________    More Money, More Power   A few times a month I send out an email titled More Money, More Power to friends of the podcast.

Today on the podcast I am covering some topics that came up during the workshop I held a few weeks ago. The workshop was titled "Where The F*ck Is My Money" and I covered some key concepts around Disappearing Money Syndrome- and that is when you have money coming but you don't know where it's going. I talked about the common reasons your money might be disappearing and how to manage your money in way that goes way beyond budgets. But in addition to money tactics, with me you are always going to get the bigger picture as well. We talked about why it matters for justice informed people to have more money and more power. I covered what I call the money mindset villains- specifically Debt Shaming Culture and the Mindset Masquerade. I talked about how it's important to understand the language of finance and not internalize the oppression found in the language of money...and of course I talked about the importance of knowing your values when it comes to decision making around your money- because money does not spend itself. This was a free workshop and if you missed it, you can still get access to the recording by signing up for the guide to More Money, More Power- the link is below in the show notes. Today on the podcast I'm covering some of the questions and topics that came up during the workshop. I broke up the questions into major themes I want to cover. Theme #1 is about debt and investing Theme #2 is about money management systems including budgets and how to keep track of bills Theme #3 is about money and relationships This is an important topic we are discussing today.

We may think you have to be a politician, or an activist, or a lawyer or judge or have some big professional job title in order to make an impact. But that's simply not true. Anybody can do the work of breaking down practices, policies, behaviors, and norms which serve to keep another person or group controlled, marginalized, harmed, and de-humanized. ⁠ Oppression occurs at the collective level and at the individual level. On today's podcast, I'm going to talk about what the f*ck does it really meant to "dismantle systems of oppression" because sometimes it may sound more complex than it really is. Anybody can dismantle systems of oppression- especially the one that show up in our day to day lives. I'm sharing 4 steps that will help you to identify the oppressive system- and break it down into pieces! Listen to today's episode to get insights on the following: Why it's important to trust your instincts when identifying oppressive systems in your life How to anticipate tactics that may be used against you by those benefiting from oppression Some of the common ways oppression shows up in our everyday lives This is an important topic we are discussing today.

Today on the podcast I'm talking about the importance and power of knowing your energetic numbers. Most folks know what it means to run your numbers in terms of how you manage your money. But, I find that knowing your energetic numbers is just as important as knowing your financial numbers. Knowing your energetic numbers allows you to have quantifiable measures in place to mitigate you burning out and becoming completely depleted of your energy. Knowing your energetic numbers will help you navigate stressful circumstances in such a way where you are keeping some healthy boundaries, prioritizing your wellness, and letting yourself off the hook for feeling stressed. Too many times women can start to beat ourselves up for even having feelings of stress and anxiety- and that's the last thing we should be doing to ourselves. Tune into today's episode for the following insights: Learn how to uncover your personal energetic numbers Why knowing your energetic numbers is just as important as knowing your financial numbers Learn three powerful tactics on how to make energetic numbers a reality in your own life. Remember, awareness is not immunity when it comes to stress and anxiety BUT there are strategies and tactics we can use to mitigate the effects. As justice informed people it's important that we stay resourced and protect ourselves from burning completely out. Because we are fully resourced is when we are best positioned to amplify our power.

On today's episode I am talking about what I call the Core Values Exchange and why it's so important for justice-informed people to expand our thinking and belief system around how we think about value and most importantly how we exchange value with others. This is what I know to be true about getting really deep into understanding one's core values- the actual decisions, beliefs, and choices we make will always reveal our truth and sometimes the truth is far from the reality. I take the Core Values Exchange concept and break it down further using real life examples of buying a cup of coffee and saving for retirement. I'm also going to walk you through an example of how to get bone deep into uncovering how you are showing up in your life as it relates to your core values. And I am going so much deeper than a simple google search bar exercise where you find a list of values that resonate with you and put it on sticky note as a reminder- no my friends we are getting bone deep on today's episode.

We are one year into living within this health pandemic and many of us still are navigating a lot of unknowns and uncertainty. Many of us have a lot of responsibilities that require our energy and our time. The mental health of all women, especially women with intersectional identities-our mental health and wellness must be a priority. On today's episode I'm talking about how important it is for us to protect our time and our energy. I'm going to share a little bit of what's been going on behind the scenes with me when it comes to how I'm managing my time and energy. And I will take the various threads and weave it together into something that I'm hopeful will be useful to you. The thing is this- many of us are aware of various tools and techniques to guard ourselves from people and situations that can act as an energy drain. So I want to share some reminders on how we can ensure we are not depleting our energy but instead generating and protecting our energy. Because we are fully resourced is when we are best positioned to amplify our power. This is what we are talking about on today's episode. Tune in.

Today on the show we are talking about the importance of help. And asking for help might be tough, and even when we do ask for help- actually getting it can feel impossible. But just because we know in our heads and our minds we are deserving of help and support- it doesn't always mean we feel like we actually deserve it. We may embrace not needing anyone or anything. We may find a sense of purpose and value in being the one who handles all the things, at work, at home and everything in between. And in making ourselves available for everything and everybody- we can lose sight of what we want for ourselves. So how do we push back against the feeling that we are not deserving of help? How do we disrupt the conditioning that has been placed within us to do everything for everybody? And to do it with a smile? Even during a health pandemic. If asking for help, or even feeling worthy of help is something hard for you to do- I want you to practice reframing "getting help" to "getting resourced." Because when you are adequately resourced, you have what you need to thrive. And when it comes to resources I think the fundamentals are the resources of time, energy, and money. Because time, energy, and money are sources of power. Thus when we are fully resourced with our time, with our energy, with our money- that's when we are best positioned to amplify our power. This is what we are talking about on today's episode. Tune in.

We are almost one year into the global health pandemic of Covid19.
