It’s a BONUS EPISODE! After Amber’s interview with Serena, she’s back to tell a story about a guy who asked for a bag of chips in the grocery store.

But he had just laid out a whole hell of a lot more issues than a bag of chips could possibly fix. To change your life, you have to be willing to change your thoughts and actions, rather than hope and wait for the perfect, no-effort solution to fall from the sky.

Welcome back for season two of BIG Happy Money™ with Serena Hicks! In this episode you’ll meet Amber Taylor, a pleasure and authenticity coach for Black changemakers. Amber helps her clients create change and impact in the world through the vehicle of pleasure (oooooh, yes, more please).

Amber recently got divorced, moved into a luxury apartment, and fully committed to growing her business (she says, “I stopped treating my business like a booty call”) – and she’s been practicing radical self belief in the area of creating, spending, receiving, and embracing BIG Happy Money.

In this call she shares with Serena the thoughts and practices that took her from a $0 income month to booking five clients in just three weeks. Thoughts like, “It’s my time. Let’s go.” and practices like “passive thought work” (you’ll love it if you share her ADHD brain).

Get your notebooks, y’all, because this is magic.

You CANNOT over-celebrate your wins, and this episode is all about how to properly celebrate the milestone moments in your service based business. Milestones like your first $10k, $50k, $100k collected of course, but ALSO your first client, your first client who paid in full, your first consult that didn't feel awkward, your first client after raising your rates to Proper Pricing.   

CELEBRATION, as we've already learned before, normalizes in your nervous system and seeks more proof of your success. It is a MUST for BIG Happy Money and it's okay to get TANGIBLE with your celebrations and purchase a real item that serves as a physical reminder in your space of the absolute wins in your business.

Hello, loves. Do you like buying cars from salespeople who smell desperate from a mile away, who start trying to explain and negotiate before you've even looked around at a car or said what you're looking for?   

Nobody likes that grabby hands energy, and this episode is ESSENTIAL for coaches and service providing CEOs who want to nail consults, offer Proper Pricing, and maintain their BIG Happy Money making mindset to serve both THEMSELVES and THEIR SOULMATE CLIENTS in the consult container.   

When you're out of alignment with BIG Happy Money, you make potential clients responsible for your growth, and that feels yucky to you both. You may overlook red flags AND green flags, step out of your power, and act in weird ways that totally turn off the client, leaving you both feeling like you wasted time.   

Remember, every "failure" is an opportunity to grow and return to power, so Serena offers POWERFUL shifts in this episode to serve the shit out of your clients in your consults and stay aligned with your value, your integrity, and BIG Happy Money -- with consent, curiosity, and space for the client to make their own informed and powerful decision. You'll also learn Serena's top three dealbreakers for consults!

This episode unpacks a classic Serena-ism: "When you see your pricing as expensive, your clients will too. When you see it as EXPANSIVE, your clients will too."  

What's the energetic different between expensive and expansive? Simply put, EXPANSIVE thinking invites both you and the client to stretch and expand into your new beliefs and mindset. Expansive pricing feels like an opportunity to GROW. Meanwhile, expensive pricing feels energetically like you don't think you deserve the BIG Happy Money in either direction. You don't deserve to make it, and your client won't feel like they're spending it.   

In order for BIG Happy Money to truly be mutual, beneficial, and ABUNDANT, your pricing must feel energetically like THE BEST DAMN THING for both you and your client. Thinking you're overcharging, hemming and hawing about a payment plan, etc., will keep you acting expensive (ie, money and growth are scarce and limited) and you cannot invite the client to expand and take action from that energy.  

Shift your mindset and start locking in Proper Pricing now with this advice!

Do you hate paying taxes? Why?   

In this episode, Serena shares how much her business paid in PayPal fees in 2021 (guess how much?? It's five figures) and why she CELEBRATES this number. 

You COULD finagle your finances in such a way that you save on fees, but it would end up costing way more in your hourly rate for the time it takes to organize and stay on top of cash, check, and bank transfers. Processing your payments in one convenient, logistically organized way is a win-win!   

Dive in and reframe your thoughts around payment processing fees and taxes in this quick episode.

Quick content note and trigger warning: This episode discusses loss of a parent.   

Celebrating your growth is not optional if you intend to be an excellent steward of BIG Happy Money. Celebrating every single win, every tiny baby step forward, neurologically normalizes and regulates in the nervous system to help your brain LOOK FOR wins and proof of your growth. But you have to train it to look for the wins by celebrating, which is why celebration is MANDATORY for your BHM mindset.  

Another reason celebration is necessary: Having money was not always safe for MOST of us under the patriarchy, so talking about these celebrations can feel UNSAFE. Celebrating normalizes the safety of gratitude and growth, grounds you in your power, and dissipates anxiety (while also highlighting thought errors you can coach through)!  

The more you celebrate, the more you see and energetically receive your contributions to the world, which creates courage and invites you to continue participating in the circle of abundance. NOT. OPTIONAL.

Hey there, coach. This episode is all about your CONFIDENCE and COMPETENCE. And also, your confidence IN your competence.   

You don't want to get your blood drawn by a nurse who is timid and nervous about their abilities, right? "Oh, I'm pretty new at blood draws, I might have to try a couple times, do you want a discount because I'm so new?" This is NOT BIG Happy Money, y'all. You'd ask for a new nurse! And your SOULMATE clients are WAITING for you to get over yourself and show up in CONFIDENCE of  your COMPETENCE.   

In this episode, Serena guides you to find the proof of your competence in your clients' results. And pro tip: You won’t JUST see results on the niche topic you coach on. Results and shifts for the clients come in all aspects of life! Celebrate EVERY result, especially the small ones, and this will help you realize and normalize for yourself that you ARE ALREADY the coach you need to be RIGHT NOW to serve your clients meaningfully.

One of the fastest ways to shut down your abundant, audacious BIG Happy Money Mindset is using the powerful magic of the word "Only."   

Maybe you've only made $1,000. You've only booked one client. You've only got 100 followers on Instagram.   

"Only" is like multiplying by zero. It inherently says you're not enough and you're desperate for more more more in order to feel satisfied.   

"Only" takes you right out of your power.  

In this episode, Serena explains the magic and expansive shift to thinking "Already" instead of "Only."   

You've already made your first $1000. You've already booked your first client. You've already reached 100 people who love what you teach on Instagram.   

"Already" energy locks you into thinking that you are enough and sufficient, and puts you into a space to receive and honor your soulmate clients and BIG Happy Money.

This is THE podcast for Coaches and Service-Provider CEOs who are ready to create and steward BIG Happy Money through their business. BIG Happy Money is about reclaiming your personal power, and functioning from a consensual sovereign point of view to create more of the same in this world. 

Making money, without burning out via hustle, isn't just for Other People. It's for you too. It's for you who help and heal and serve others too. Making BIG money as a woman, a person of color, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, as a disabled and/or neurodivergent person, i.e. ANY traditionally marginalized community is both SUBVERSIVE to the status quo of the white supremacist patriarchy, and simultaneously LIBERATING for both you and others. Learning how to make money, without white knuckled hustling, is nothing short of a love-led revolution (for yourself and others).

NO MORE being underpaid. Let's get you connected to the clients who are ready, resourced and relieved to hire you. NO MORE hiding in plain sight. Let's free you from the thought error that you're 'too much' or that your people 'don't get you' (they so do). You showing up as you luminously leads others to do the same.NO MORE busy work instead of SHOWING ALL THE WAY UP AND DOING YOUR SACRED WORK IN THIS WORLD. And getting paid well for it too. The world hungers for the unique gifts that ONLY YOU can share.

Instead, I'm sharing money mindset and best practices so that you're able to be an example of what's possible to everyone in your orbit; and in the world (reminder: with OUT burning out!)

I want you to have it all. So I'm sharing it all. Here and RTF NOW. Want to be in on this? Cool cool. Subscribe to BIG Happy Money with Serena Hicks to find out. Episodes are dropping soon.
