Dealing with haters and trolls (without losing your cool)
What if someone posts a nasty comment on your Instagram?
What if they make it personal—about your body, your face, or your voice?
And… what if that fear is stopping you from showing up at all?
It’s Spooky Season and haters and trolls are pretty scary, so in this week’s episode of Chill & Prosper, I’m talking about:
✨ How I handle haters, trolls, and Debbie Downers online
✨ The early wounds that criticism reactivates - and how to heal them
✨ Why you’re allowed to block, delete, and protect your peace
✨ What to do if you fear being misunderstood or targeted
✨ My “No Soup For You” boundary trick (you’ll love this one)
This one’s a permission slip to block, delete, and protect your magic.

What are you really charging for?
Ever worried that your book, your blog, or your freebies give away too much
Or wondered if people would really pay for what you do?
In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m unpacking the truth:
✨ Why people happily pay for experiences they could technically get for free
✨ What you’re really charging for (it’s rarely the PDFs or videos)
✨ The role of community, accountability, and spaciousness in your offers
✨ How your childhood “wounds” might hide your true zone of genius
✨ Why you don’t have to convince skeptics - they’re not your market
This episode is part pep talk, part reframe, and permission to charge for the value you already bring.

Too young, too old, or just right? Age, money & imposter syndrome
Do you ever feel like you’re the wrong age for success?
Too young to be credible… or too old to stay relevant?
In this week’s Chill & Prosper Q&A episode, I’m tackling those fears (and more)

How Childhood Experiences Shape Your Money Mindset
Ever felt awkward setting your prices, chasing payments, or even just talking about money?
You’re not alone and you’re likely carrying money patterns from childhood.
In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I share:
How being told “money is rude” still makes it hard to talk prices today
Why allowance (or lack of it) creates guilt, rebellion, or over-correction
How divorce, alimony, and contrast growing up impact your self-worth
Simple “pattern interrupters” to shift these stories for good
Why compassion - for yourself and others - is key to rewriting money patterns
By having compassion for yourself, you can spot the threads from your childhood that are impacting your relationship with money and finally let them go.
