Hey, friend, are you ready to take courageous steps to create a life and business you love. Welcome to The Couragecast. I'm Andrea Crisp, mindset coach, author, and a multi passionate entrepreneur. For years, I was afraid to allow myself to shine that was until I discovered that I could step into my own power, shift my mindset, and take ownership of my own destiny. Now I coach women across the globe who are ready to own their life and make a massive impact. Each week, I'll share conversations with amazing humans who've been willing to face their fear and pursue their purpose. I'll provide a blend of practical and spiritual advice to help you take brave steps in your own life and business.
Andrea Crisp 1:04
Hello, my friend, my name is Andrea, I'm your host. I'm so glad you're here. Do you know that when I first started the podcast, I was so afraid that no one would listen to the show. It actually plagued me for months, I lived in this irrational fear that it was going to be so terrible that the only person who would listen would be my mom. Here's the funny thing. My mom doesn't even listen. My dad has pretty much been the person in my family who has listened probably the most consistently, not sure if he's listening to this episode or not. But if he is, Hey, Dad!
Andrea Crisp 1:43
So at the time that I started The Couragecast, I really did not fully understand how magnetic we are when it comes to calling in what we believe to be true for our lives like that was not even on my radar. Now, of course that has changed for me over the course of the past year. And I have become much and I have become much more attuned to the fact that I'm always drawing to me, what I'm focused on and believe to be true. And the really cool thing is that even though I've had this fear in the past, about no one listening to the podcast, I've stayed the course. And next month, we're going to be celebrating our 200th episode, which I am so excited for. I am believing that this month, we're going to attract more listeners to the show in one month than we have in the past year. And in order to do that, I'm going to need your help.
Andrea Crisp 2:44
Yep, that's right. Whenever I started the show, I really focused on bringing stories of women who had overcome their fear to do extraordinary things. And I really did showcase some pretty amazing guests. If I do say so myself, you can go back and listen to many of them. But as time went on, I knew that I was growing and shifting. And so were the women who listened to the podcast. And now I believe I'm attracting multi passionate female entrepreneurs, coaches, creatives, who are themselves taking brave steps in their lives every single day, to make a bigger impact in the world. And I want this podcast, The Couragecast to celebrate you, and every single challenge you've overcome.
Andrea Crisp 3:28

Andrea Crisp 4:42
Now last week on the show, I was talking about how we can be expansive in our lives. And I want to circle back with that topic specifically and ask you, How have you been feeling as you've been starting to open up to the possibility of holding more in your life? What are you believing for in 2022? What parts of your life and business are now expanding? Like, you know, it's happening, it's now in process in your life? Are you making room for more clients, new collaborations, new ideas, new projects, maybe something that feels really big and scary. Even as I was doing some recording of the podcast and editing just a few minutes ago, I was starting to have like new ideas come to me about possibilities for things to happen on the podcast, and guests and all those things that I mean, as we make room, we do expand, and opening yourself up is the first step to believing in the possibility believing that the universe has your back.
Andrea Crisp 5:47
So today, we're going to take that one step further. And we're going to talk about what it looks like to become completely magnetic to what you desire. That's like totally attracting new clients, collaborations, relationships, ideas, all the things. And a friend of mine reminded me not long ago that I had told her that I attract really amazing women into my life, mentors, coaches, peers, friends. And that is 100% true. When I was about nine years old, I had a babysitter, her name was Rosanna. And she came into my life, and helped me go from this shy little girl, to believing that I was able to do anything, that anything was possible for my life. And when she babysat me one particular summer, she taught me how to cook, bake, sew, we made these dresses with polka dots on them. And we would do Olympics in the backyard, and she would take us on the bus to the beach, we just had like the most amazing time, she also did the hard things like set the timer on the piano for me to practice every single day for 30 minutes, which I hated. But she saw the best in me and made room for me to grow. And that was the first time in my life where I really saw what it was like for me to expand, but also realized that I was drawing in amazing people.
Andrea Crisp 7:18
Now, here's the crazy thing, she was only 14 at the time. She didn't even drive. But Rosanna was my very first mentor. And she didn't even know probably what mentorship was. But she was instilling in me this desire to make my mark on the world, to show up as the most authentic version of myself. And the reason why is because she was the most authentic version of herself. But Rosanna was not the only mentor I had. She was one of many, I was also mentored by my pastor who was Shirley Lira. And when I was probably even younger than nine years old, she saw my singing ability. And she nurtured it. She mentored me, and helped me to realize that I could sing in front of crowds, and put me on the stage, and allowed me to really show up as myself. I was also mentored by Sunday school teachers, by my youth pastor, who I absolutely adored. By my high school music teacher, who honestly, I'm not even sure she even liked me. But she totally believed in me, because she put me up for like some award in the city. But anyways, I digress. But year after year, city after city, place after place, I continued to attract incredible mentors into my life. And never once did I doubt that I could be in relationship with these incredible women. And it still amazes me to this day.
Andrea Crisp 8:49
So let me ask you, what are you attracting into your life? Like right now, think about that. There is something that you know, that you attract into your world, maybe it's people, maybe it's experiences, maybe it is opportunities, maybe it's clients, something that's really easy for you, like, you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, I attract that into my life. Maybe it's completely different than what I've been talking to you about. But nonetheless, you are a magnet for that specific thing. And there are things in life that we believe to be true, and we attract those things. But on the flip side, there are also things we attract that we don't want, okay, because we're magnetic, we get more of what we believe to be true.
Andrea Crisp 9:40
And the universal law of magnetic attraction states that we attract into our lives, people, things, circumstances that correspond with our dominant patterns of emotional thinking. The first is the Law of Attraction, which states that our thoughts are like magnets attract into our lives, corresponding circumstances. Incredible, right? So when I started to understand that I was attracting both good and bad things into my life, I had to get really serious about shifting my mindset to believe for what I did want. So here's the thing. As much as I was attracting incredible mentors into my life, I was also attracting some things I really didn't want. One of the things was terrible jobs, I had a propensity to attract, like the worst employers, I got fired from almost every job, now I have to take responsibility for that, because that was something else I believe to be true. And that kept me feeling really insecure about who I was, and quite frankly, very unsafe, because I always worried about where I was going to be in life. Was I going to be able to pay the bills? Was I going to be able to take care of myself? And if you've listened to the podcast for any length of time, you know that I've talked about how I have really lost almost every job that I've ever had. And I continuously attracted jobs that kept me small, hidden away, until the moment I stood up for myself, then that's when I usually lost the job.
Andrea Crisp 11:19
Okay. So romantic relationships were kind of along the same lines. In high school, I dated a guy who cheated on me, married the girl. And later, I subconsciously bought into the belief that that was going to happen to me over and over again. And guess what, it did, three more times to be exact. So as you can imagine, my fear about being employed, having a terrible job, being let go, being an unsafe relationships, being loved, or not being loved, continued to keep me believing that I somehow deserved this type of treatment, and I continued to attract it into my life.
Andrea Crisp 12:03
So the Law of Attraction does not operate based on what we deserve. It operates on what we believe, okay? So I didn't deserve any of that. But I believed it. So think about that for a moment. If you're attracting right now, what you believe, what might you be attracting, because you don't deserve bad things to happen. But when you focus your attention there, and you're allowing yourself to ruminate on those thoughts and those ideas, sorry to say, but you're going to get more of the same. So whatever those negative thoughts that you're having, in your life, you're going to keep attracting them. And right now your subconscious is playing at a scenario that is trying to keep you safe. And unless it's triggered, you won't know that you need to adjust that mindset, and that belief about yourself and your life. But the moment that trigger is pushed, everything in you will go into fight, flight, or freeze.
Andrea Crisp 13:05
So you may know exactly what I'm talking about, because you could probably imagine, right now, visualize, a moment in your life where something happened. And you thought to yourself, how the EFF did this happen again? Right? Yeah, okay. It's a Law of Attraction, you get more of what you believe to be true. So now you deserve. Okay, I can't stress that enough. We attract what we believe not what we deserve. So my friend, it is so important that you're moving through the beginning of this year, and setting into motion, what it is you truly desire. And your beliefs need to match up with those desires. Now we're going to take just a quick break here. And when I come back, I'm going to share with you a few journal prompts to help you to get started when it comes to attracting what you desire into your life. But before that, I want to share with you my good friend, Niki Ferguson, who is a money mindset coach, she's going to share how we can be magnetic when it comes to our finances.
Niki Ferguson 14:11
Hi, I'm Niki money and mindset coach back for another Money Minute. So today I want to talk to you about being a money magnet. Are you inadvertently repelling money? Wah wah! I know? Of course you're gonna say you're not. But I want you to think about what stories and beliefs come up when you think about money. When somebody says the word money or you see money or whatever it comes up. What do you think? Are there any negative thoughts that come to mind that surround money because there are a lot of things in our society that people will say that get implanted in our brain. So like, is money bad? Is it are you greedy or selfish if you have a lot of money, or maybe it's on the other end and you don't feel worthy or deserving or feel a little bit out of place when it comes to having money. Do you think that something bad would happen if you had money? So first, we've got to start there and take away that negative connotation. Money just is, it's not good or evil, we get to decide what we do with our money. And we get to decide who and what to support with our cash. So, make a list of your dream budget. If you had x amount of dollars, what would you do with it? So let's say you had a 10k month, what are you going to do with it, write it down an itemized list, okay. 1000 would go to this, 500 would go to this, 250 would go to this, right? Write it out so you can get excited about where your money's going, and then you'll be able to call more in.
Andrea Crisp 15:48
Thank you so much, Niki, I appreciate you hanging out with us tonight. All right, friend. If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes and place your hand on your heart, and allow yourself to completely drop into your body. Take a breath all the way down to your hips, allowing your belly to expand. And as you release, let go of any tension that you may be feeling. Take another breath all the way down to your hips, allowing source energy to completely fill you up. And as you exhale, release anything that feels heavy or burdensome. And one more breath in and this time allow yourself to rest in the knowledge that you are inviting all that you desire into your life and releasing what you no longer need. And as your breath returns to a normal rhythm, I invite you to visualize yourself attracting what it is that you desire into your life. Allow that to come into full view. Take a moment to hear what you would hear and see what you would see and to feel what you would feel. If that vision feels in alignment with what you believe is meant for you, then I invite you to make it even clearer. See it from a different perspective. Turn up the brightness and allow your senses to be more fully involved. What you are envisioning for your life, for your relationships, for your business is here, right now. And as you are focusing on what you desire, anchor that feeling deep within you. That feeling you feel is the emotion, the state that you can access whenever you feel yourself drifting or doubting. You can access the feeling of what you desire at any moment by coming back to this feeling. Take one more deep breath all the way down to your hips and slowly exhale. And when you're ready, I invite you to open your eyes.
Andrea Crisp 18:38
How do you feel? In the next few moments as we are wrapping up the podcast episode, I'm gonna ask you a few questions. You might just even stay in that mode of meditation. These questions are designed to help you go even deeper, so feel free to pause and take that moment to write down your thoughts. Or if you want listen all the way through to the end and then come back when you have a moment. First question is what are you becoming a magnet for in your life? How will you feel when that is present in your life? Describe what you see, you hear, you taste, touch, and sense. What is the future telling you right now about becoming magnetic to what you desire? Describe how you feel as this vision is unfolding before you and what action will you focus on right now to allow this to start to manifest in your life?
Andrea Crisp 20:05
