  • Episode #506: The Key to More Creativity, Abundance, and Flow with Cathy Heller
    Dec 3 2024

    I heard something once: if you don’t even know how to receive a compliment, how do you expect to receive abundance or sales in your business?

    This blew my mind because so many people are blocking their ability to receive - even a compliment, no less great financial success in their business.

    Enter Cathy Heller, my brilliant friend who is an expert on receiving abundance by turning your frequency dial up to the frequency of whatever you desire. She just wrote a “future” bestseller called Abundant Ever After: Tools For Creating a Life of Prosperity and Ease.

    We had a fantastic conversation about how creative entrepreneurs can tap into their natural abundance and flow. Discover why manifestation isn't about attraction but receptivity, and learn practical techniques to unlock your creative potential while building a thriving business.

    Key moments from this episode:

    • [1:48] How the law of receptivity differs from the law of attraction
    • [6:01] Understanding flow state and how to access it naturally
    • [17:41] Why emotional well-being directly impacts your financial success
    • [31:56] Breaking free from toxic mindsets and limiting beliefs
    • [48:30] Practical exercises for maintaining creative flow
