✨ 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! ✨☀️✨

How One Woman's Vision is Changing the Culture of a Nation - with Kate Valentine
Kate Valentine is the founder of the highly acclaimed non-profit Singing Mamas. She knows the transformative, healing power of singing together.
After tragic events and living through heart-breaking adversity, she had a vision, and she WENT FOR IT. (And the culture of our country is changing as a result of that. IF SHE CAN DO THIS SO CAN YOU - trust your vision!)
Her story is one of utter alchemy, and I adored every second of it. I hope you will too.
- How a teacher's harsh words put Kate off singing as a child
- How Kate losing her brother as a child led her to become an intensive care nurse
- Realising during the pandemic that she was going close to others’ trauma because she hadn’t resolved her own
- The idea “You’re either a singer or you’re not” and the damage that does
- How the burning of the witches has given women a fear of using our voices & shining
- How Kate’s friend ‘set her up’ and Singing Mamas was born
- Being a single mum to three sons, on benefits, working agency night shifts
- The mental health crisis new mothers face
- The moment in the ICU when Kate decided to make Singing Mamas a reality
- Betty reflects on the need to knit communities back together
- Kate tells stories of some of the mothers’ experiences
- Overcoming competition; and the power of women coming together
- Kate sings Cry Heart, But Do Not Break
- How Kate encourages the singing mamas leaders to collaborate instead of compete
- Where Singing Mamas is at now; being prescribed by the NHS
- The research behind Singing Mamas that is raising the credibility even more & helping get funding
- Kate on piloting a neonatal intensive care outreach program
- Being a singer, without needing to be a ‘performance singer’
- Performance & the false dichotomy between being an artist or being a consumer of art
- Kate on reclaiming the identity of ‘singer’
- Betty asks Kate about the science behind singing together as a means of lifting mood and decreasing stress & anxiety – as well as enhancing the connection between mother & baby
- Kate on the magical explanation of what she thinks is happen
From Betty: Being in business means being visible. Being ethical in business means not using dodgy tactics, of course, but also 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… Becuase that's where it's SAFE.
…whether that means literally hiding under the duvet (I've been there 🥸),
...mega procrastination & self sabotage
…or pretending to be someone we are not, so as not to stand out (I've also been there 🤫).
The push & pull can be utterly EXHAUSTING.
But the good news is, it's relatively quick & easy to fix, once you access the level of the subconscious mind, using a modality such as hypnosis.
