✨ True Wealth with Betty ✨
True Wealth is not our bank balance, the car we drive, the size of our home, or how many employees we have.
True Wealth is our ability to appreciate the phenomenal world.
To joyfully give and receive.
To feel connected and part of something bigger than just ourselves.
Many people are externally wealthy -- they have the money, the house, the car, the lifestyle; but internally they are they are poverty stricken, because they are disconnected, unhappy and their hearts are full of resentment and negative emotion.
Others are internally wealthy -- they have the ability to enjoy their lives, nurture healthy relationships, and exercise their creativity, but they have an unhealthy relationship with money, and what it means to meaningfully contribute to society, so they struggle & hide away, or get stuck simply making ends meet... and the world is poorer for it.
Join me, Betty Cottam Bertels, hypnotherapist, life coach, Tantric Buddhist yogini, mum of two, and cheerleader to the brave visionaries, whose courage and creative ways of thinking and being will change our world for the better... as I engage in conversations with the people whose passions and life journeys have in some way inspired me and touched my heart, to bring you thought-provoking, inspiring, and more often then not laughter-filled conversations to bring a little joy to your world, and a little fuel for your inner hearth fire.
May you discover your own unique brilliance, give and receive freely... and may your inner hearth fire brighten up the path to knowing your own true wealth, so that you might inspire the same in others -- even if in only your little corner of the world.
May all beings be happy and free! ✨☀️✨

From Betty: Being in business means being visible. Being ethical in business means being authentic in how we present ourselves.
The trouble is… Many of us carry wounds around being seen, accepted, and celebrated as the individual we are. Left untended, these wounds divide our will, i.e. we end up with conflicted desires:
Part of us wants to be visible to grow our businesses, but another part of us is absolutely dead set on staying well and truly within the shadows…
…whether that means literally hiding under the duvet (I've been there 🥸),
…or whether that means pretending to be someone we are not, so as not to stand out (I've also been there 🤫).
Not only is this BORING, but also… it doesn't WORK:
When we hide our personality, we hide the exact aspects that enable our perfect fit clients to find us, so we end up with people that aren't really a good match, or worse, no one at all.
It's time to drop the shoulds and start being UNAPOLOGETIC in your business.
