THE ERIN DAVIS SHOW
Welcome back to the podcast. I'm Erin Davis, your host and your grounded, rich girl coach. Today we're going to dive into something that I know many of us are feeling right now, and that is that pull towards our next level, that version of you who moves differently, who feels calm and confident and grounded and really knows what she wants. But how do you actually do that, and how do you actually anchor into her, especially when life still feels messy and uncertain. So in this episode today, I'm going to walk you through really four powerful focus areas that I want you to lean into so they can help you to really embody and become your next level self. So not someday, but now.
So let's get into it, these four focus areas are going to be clarity on who she is. The second area is releasing what no longer fits. The third area is building daily anchors and rituals and the fourth area is holding that frequency even when it feels wobbly. So what we're going to do is go through each of those focus areas, because I think it's really important to have the practical things that we need to do in order to move to that next level and really anchor into that next level. Because it's one thing to talk about it. It's one thing to say that that's what you want to do, but it's another to actually take the action and make it happen. And as you know, I am very big on just taking the next step. What is next? The next thing? It is one foot in front of the other, and this is leading on from last week where we identified our rich girl identity and looked at those traits or those factors that we really want to start to embody, and those identities that we can start to embrace. So now that we know what it is that we want and how we want to show up what that identity looks like. I want you to go deeper.
The first part is getting clarity on who she is. This is very much following on from last week. I want you to define that next level of self. Look at the identities from last week, those rich girl identities really lean into the values that she has, the energy that she brings. Look at all of those things. What are the decisions that she makes? How does she show up? What are the things that she would be doing? Because we don't need to wait to be rich in order to start to embody and start to do these things now. So it is hard though if you don't know who she is. So I want you to think about taking some time to really connect into that new identity. Who do you want to be? Talk about in this section, visualising. Think about scripting exercises. Think about, you know, writing down those goals, writing down that vision that you have for yourself. Say it out loud, embrace it, embody it, and we can start to change our thoughts, change our beliefs by operating at that very conscious and logical level. We do that by stepping into this space. We start to retrain our brain. And as Joe Dispenza talks about, you know, we have so many thoughts happening each day, most of them are repeated thoughts from yesterday, and if we can start to preempt those thoughts, start to feel rich before we are rich, start to feel love before we are loved, start to feel wealthy before we are wealthy. We can act and move as if those things are already happening. So rather than waiting for them to happen, to start to feel those things, that's the cause and effect situation, we can choose to start to feel those things now. So notice what you are saying yes to notice what you are saying no to really understand your grounded, rich girl desires, what your default patterns are and what her default patterns are, because we need to step into her and embody her. So what does she do? How does she make decisions really anchor into that feeling of Her now, don't wait until you are rich to start doing these things. Do it now. So decide what she looks like and how she behaves? What does she think? What does she do?
How does she make decisions? How does she show up for herself and then anchor in those feelings? Now you don't need to wait until you arrive to start to feel that way.
The next part is releasing what no longer fits. So this is you can't take everything with you to your new rich girl identity, life identity needs to be shedded as part of this process. We need to get rid of those things which are no longer serving you. So what are the things that feel icky? They feel heavy, they feel forced. We need to let go of those things, and to do that, we need to forgive ourselves for things that have happened in the past. Maybe we've made bad money decisions. Maybe we've made lots of money mistakes. The thing is, we can't change that. We can't change what's happened. But if we want to move forward, we need to step into this space of who she is and what serves her? How does she feel? What does she do? We need to let go of those outdated roles and habits and stories that are no longer serving us. We get to choose how we move forward. So I want you to audit that environment around you. Who are the people you're hanging out with? What are the places you go to, what are the platforms you're spending all your time on? Are they creating that life that you want? Are they helping you, or are they pulling you back into this continuous loop of not enough, undeserving, putting everybody else first, not deciding what it is that you want for yourself. So we need to create this space, emotionally and energetically and physically. So we can step into this space.
There is so much power in clearing out all of your old tax records, clearing your office so it feels clean and smooth and safe getting rid of all of that rubbish that we carry around in our handbag or our wallet that is just clogging up space. Again, lean into an anchor in who she is from our identity. How does she show up? What does she do? How does she behave? Does she carry around a wallet full of old, crusty receipts that you can't even read because they're all faded, or does she have a system where she knows how much she's spending? She automates. She has a brilliant way of recording her spending. She is online, what does she do? How does she behave? And we need to realise that part of letting go of that old stuff is actually forgiving yourself for what's not working. It's about a part of you that is being left behind, and maybe there's a grieving process involved in that. But you know what? When we can choose to step into a space that now feels exciting and light and just so full of life, that's when we can really start to embrace what it is that we want in this grounded, rich girl life, and the next level is it's not just a vibe. It's about practice. So it is about building your daily anchors and your rituals. Maybe you need a morning check in or a grounding, rich ritual. We all have the same number of hours in our day, we all have the ability to look at our calendar and decide how we want that to operate. And I was speaking to my coach not so long ago, and I just said, I can't wait for, you know, this hustle mode to stop or to settle on things, to get into this really nice rhythm. And she said to me, you know, it's never going to feel like that, unless you choose, unless you decide. And she is so busy, she has so many clients, and her calendar is looking full. And if she doesn't decide how she wants to run her day, and she is not practising those high performing rituals and really grounding into what's important to her, then she would be on the way to burn out super, super quickly.
And we get to choose - grounded rich girls decide. They decide how their calendar works. How it operates, what it is that they need for themselves, and what they need in order to feel like they are connected, like they are really just backing themselves, believing in themselves, really deciding what it is that they want. And so if you want to start living the life that you thought was just a dream, it is up to you to start to decide. Now you just need to decide. And then what do you need to do in order to make that happen? It's about embodying those practices. Maybe it's the movement, maybe it's breath work, maybe it's the style and the flow that you want to embrace. Maybe it's about setting standards for yourself, not rules, because sometimes rules can feel very restrictive and very dictative, but maybe it's more about the standards. What standards do you hold yourself to, what money decisions need your focus? Where do you need to journal or do voice notes? Or how do you elevate your time in real time? How do you move through the day? And I know that we can get stuck in a loop of day in, day out, everything feels the same, but these rituals, these daily habits, these are the things that are going to create the life that you want and they are the things that you actually need to do. So you need to show up for yourself. You need to create the standard that you want for yourself. And that is just so important, because unless you decide to make some change. You're going to stay in this loop. You're going to stay doing exactly the same thing. And the women that need to do this, other women that keep putting everybody else first, the ones that think that they are saying yes to themselves, but in reality, they're just saying yes to everybody else. And so I want you to lean into this grounded, rich girl identity. Who is she? What does she want? What does she do on a daily basis? How does she behave? And then the last part is really holding that frequency, so even when it's wobbly, even when it's messy, even when everything feels like it is just a big mess, what is it that you need to do in order to move forward? And when we hold ourselves to this next level of self, it is going to feel messy. Your nervous system is going to want to keep you safe, even if that chaos is chaotic, and that whole world is chaos, that's what feels safe to you, because that's familiar, and this calmness and the ease is unfamiliar.
We need to normalise that there is going to be a rocky road. It's going to be bumpy, there is going to be doubt that shows up, there's going to be resistance, and it's going to feel uncomfortable. But I want you to stay in the room when things get like this. I want you to use these triggers and these challenges as invitations to yourself to anchor in what that grounded rich girl life looks like for you and who she is. I want you to celebrate the progress, not just results, but we celebrate the progress. Sometimes it is hard to see progress and it is hard to see movement, but I want you to feel it. I want you to realise that it's okay to feel this way, that sometimes you're going to feel like you're not moving forward, there's no spark. You're not finding these dramatic results. But I want you to keep showing up. Keep showing up for yourself, even when it's boring, because these four things, the daily rituals, the releasing know what no longer serves you, and real clarity on who she is, they are the things that are going to get you to where you want to be. And the last part is to really surround yourself with expanders, people who are doing what you want to do, people who are showing you the way to go. Sometimes we can get stuck into our own loop and our own familiar cycles, and we don't even know what's possible unless we see it being achieved by other people, unless we see what is possible, seeing that expansion that is is so powerful because we limit ourselves to what it is that we've experienced, what it is that we see, and if you have never seen anybody doing some crazy amazing things, then you are never going to think that that is even possible for you. It won't even enter your realm of possibilities. So put yourself in a room where people are living the grounded rich girl life, like you want to. It may not be exactly the same, because, remember, we create our own version of rich but you can see what is possible. And when you can start to see it, you start to dream it, and then you start to make decisions which are aligned and bring you closer and closer to that rich girl life. And so what I want you to start to really lean into this space, because I know your next self isn't waiting for the perfect moment.
She is available right now, even in just small little things and choices, but the boundaries you hold yourself and around yourself, they are the things that are keeping you stuck and in this cycle and feeling like you're not moving forward. And so if you want to move forward, if you want to create more, and you know you were here for ease and flow and more, but maybe you're not quite sure how really anchor into her that is, that is more about becoming her in a way that you can show up as her every single day. You don't have to rush though. You don't have to change everything all in one go. We can take it little by little. The big thing is though, that you stay connected, you stay anchored in and you see that big vision. You see her identity. You feel her identity. Because when you are her, I know that this is the missing link to keeping you feeling stuck with your money, keeping you feeling like you're in that stuck space, instead of feeling like you can't afford things all the time, I want you to start to learn to truly feel safe in receiving which is all about, how do you show up, how do you receive things? How do you do things? And when we can start to really embody all of this, I guarantee you that life will feel good. And so if this episode resonated with you, I really want to hear what landed for you. What is it that you are going to do now in order to step you into this grounded rich girl life, because it is available to you right now. It is available to all of us.
