The Prep Talk with Jess Reading

As the founder of one of the fastest growing accountancy practices in the UK and with a personal brand that’s worth over 6 figures alone, Rachel Harris is a millionaire who struggles with her money mindset.  Rachel shared the million pound milestone in her stories a few months ago, and it quickly followed with a ‘holy shit that was uncomfortable message’. The truth is the reality her and her husband have created for themselves is so different to her reality as a child, where money always got a bad rep round the dining room table. This is the conversation that brings together the mindset and the practical perspectives of money mindset, highlights some areas that could be holding you back and show you how to move through them. Listen as Rachel shares her advice on how you become familiar with your finances, which will ultimately make you feel safe to bring in more.  About Rachel: Award winning industry leader, content creator, speaker, author and accountancy practice owner.

The mental load of it all gets too much: the passwords, the special dates, booking the holidays and making sure life operates smoothly. Not to mention the fact we are also working women with our own goals, some are raising children or taking care of pets. WE CAN'T DO IT ALL, right? Well if that's how you're feeling right now and you're just waiting for your man to step up, be proactive, to look around and SEE when we need help and what would actually be helpful - THIS episode is for you. It might not all be comfortable, but I promise it will create monumental shifts if you let it.

If it doesn’t happen exactly the way you envisioned or something rocks the plans you made - everything is ruined. You overate 100 calories on plan, so why bother for the rest of the week. You missed a day of content, so the whole month goes to shit. You woke up 30 mins later than planned, so all other healthy habits go out of the window…. That spiral we experience when things don’t go exactly as we had hoped, exactly the way we had planned is EXHAUSTING. It’s the cycle of motivated, make a plan, sabotage said plan and wait for another boost of motivation - I know because I’ve been there. Learning how to break free of this cycle isn’t just important, it’s CRUCIAL to actually making progress with the things you’ve prioritised. Life is messy, plans change and virtually nothing is perfect all of the time - we need out mindset to be able to account for those moments and stay on track. This podcast episode will take you teach you how to do that.

Ever find yourself adding things to your to-do list that you’ve already done, just so you can tick them off? I’d recommend hitting play on this episode. As a fellow high-achieving woman, I too am guilty of relying on my forever growing to-do list for a boost of serotonin, but I didn’t realise that this was a clue to a mindset block that was going on under the surface. It seems our generation of ambitious women have put productivity on a pedestal of it’s own, and are using it as a measurement of our own worthiness. Being productive = highly admirable and worthy Being unproductive = lazy and worthless The problem ISN’T productivity - it’s your perception of what productivity actually means that is. This episode will show you how productivity is actually hindering your progress and give you the mindset tools to reframe it.

You already know the power of showing up online… but something is holding you back. Spoiler: that thing is your subconscious mind. I work through these fears with so many of my clients who tell me ‘I know I need to show up’ but internally something feels off and they are terrified of actually hitting record and posting it. The truth is it doesn’t matter what you WANT to do if you don’t feel safe doing it. This episode is going to walk you through 3 crucial subconscious shifts you can make to show up confidently online.

Pink dresses, sparkly jewellery and bouncy curls… that was what I believed feminine energy was about... how wrong was ?!What I have come to learn over the past few years is feminine energy is a deep rooted narrative, it’s our most aligned and truest selves as women. And it’s characterised by a set of traits and perspectives that is considered the complete opposite of masculine energy (one can't exist without the other). The truth is right now, most women are operating from their masculine. We are focused on the doing, we want structure, we want to tick boxes and feel productive. Perhaps this is driven by the #girlboss narrative or maybe it’s a new wave of desire for our generation. But is it what we truly in our hearts want?In this episode, I explore why so many women are stuck operating from their masculine, the power of the feminine and the steps you can take to lean back into it.

"Life is hard", "Nothing that's worth it is easy"... we have become so used to life being ‘hard’ and even more than that, we have learned to believe life being hard is how you’ll know it’s worth it. But on a day to day level, so many people are unhappy. They are feeling the hardship of life’s battles and then rolling their eyes at anyone who seems to move through life without a single bump in the road. We end up feeling resentful at anyone who has it easy, followed by deep sense of entitlement that we should be rewarded for our trials and tribulations. But that’s not how it works.In this episode, I share with you 3 things I’ve noticed in my own journey that I truly think will help you along the way. Each one is going to help you understand and really see the undercurrent of your current belief system and help to unearth the thoughts that have been keeping you stuck. The work and support I offer my clients goes a lot deeper and we look at the beliefs you formed as a child, look at inner child healing and rewiring the way you think about yourself.  Remember, even though it feels impossible to believe that life can be easy, you can start by believing life doesn’t have to be hard and work from there.

If you have ever wondered what coaching is truly like, how it works or whether it’s worth it - this is the conversation to listen to. “I want to say thank you for, it sounds really huge to say it, but for changing my life and putting me on a new trajectory last year. Without your support and without you being in my corner and helping me to see things from a different way and encouraging me and calling me out with love, I wouldn't be the person I am right now and have so much excitement and hope for the future.” Bex Bex was the first person to ever sign up to my 1:1 coaching and we went on to work and grow together for 6 months. In this deep, authentic and insightful conversation, Bex shares what it really felt like to be coached and to start that journey of inner work.  In this episode we covered: The question she hoped coaching would answer and the answers she wasn’t expectingHow coaching supported her to get out a dark placeThe challenges that came with doing this workHow new limiting beliefs emerged during the journeyThe importance of setting boundaries and what that looked likeHow mindset coaching supported her to leave her unaligned jobThe way she responded to unaligned opportunitiesWhy Voxer (voice note) coaching was the most powerful part of the coaching containerThe message she would give to the 2022 version of herself The result of mindset coaching may seem intangible, but that’s because the ripple effect is incredibly hard to measure. This work touches every part of your life and changes the way you move through life. A huge thank you to the gorgeous Bex for joining me and sharing her experience on the podcast.

We all come across negative people in our lives, and whether they are close friends, relatives or colleagues, their energy can become infectious. I remember when I used to soak up negative energy like a sponge. They were angry, so I was angry. I used to soak up their negativity and it would impact me throughout the day. But it doesn't have to be that way - you get to choose. In this episode, I share a personal story about how I used to be heavily impacted by negative people and how I navigate negative people in my life now.  ⁠Website⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠

Personal power was a very new concept to me 4 years ago and it was one of the very first steps of my self discovery and development journey, and led to huge breakthroughs and transformations. Essentially it means to take ownership and responsibility for what goes right and goes wrong, seeing yourself as the person in control of your outcomes. And if you're feeling like the world is constantly working against you - you've probably stepped out of your personal power. This prep talk covers 3 things you can do to work towards stepping into your personal power. ⁠Website⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠
