Episode #95 – Even Skeptics Can Manifest with Denise Duffield-Thomas

Do you have the life you desire? Are you asking yourself “What do I want?” but not giving yourself permission to have it? Today on Financial Fluency, we have Denise Duffield-Thomas, the money mindset mentor for online female entrepreneurs. Denise, also known as the “Lucky B,” is the founder of luckybitch.com and author of two best-selling books Lucky Bitch and Get Rich, and Lucky Bitch. In both books, Denise gives readers and boot camp goers an insight into how and why fear and mindset plays into finances, and how to turn that around so even skeptics can manifest the life they really want.

Denise admits she was never taught how to feel good about money and manage it well. She grew up with a single mom and money was always tight. She believed she had to be deserving her entire life to be successful because of teachings through the church. But, Denise quickly realized as an adult that’s not the case. When you’re in a positive state of mind, and you take positive action, there tends to be a positive reaction, with the reverse being true as well.

For example, when Denise was around the college age, she had no money in her account, and class was due to start in three days.  She maintained a positive mindset, telling herself that things would work out, and sure enough due to a bank error to her benefit, she was able to pay for her classes.  She also manifested a trip around the world with her husband for six months with all expenses paid and blogged about it.  Denise shares how about every couple of years she goes through a transition, and she questions what she’s doing, who’s she’s serving, and if she’s on the right path.

Even though Denise’s success didn’t happen overnight, she didn’t let time stop her from reaching her potential. Sometimes paths can lead you astray, but what matters is growing from experiences, and find the hidden gifts.  

Denise shared about her past investment of $5,000 in her book “Get Hitched Lucky Bitch.” During that time, she quickly realized she didn’t have to do everything for everyone and be something she’s not, and that she should focus on finances and help exceptional women who want to create outrageous success. She achieved that with two simple steps, examining old patterns and practicing forgiveness (adopting the Hawaiian forgiveness ritual: Ho’oponopono). Self-worth and net worth are intertwined and getting stuck in the cycle of self-sabotage will prevent you from the next level of success. Denise is a firm believer that forgiveness is the gift you give yourself to let go and grow.

Denise’s Tips on Removing Money Blocks:

  • Inaction leads to more inaction. You have to try the “brain-training exercises” to help you understand yourself and deep-rooted patterns.
  • Forgive and examine those things (or people) that sabotaged you and contributed to your money blocks.
  • Money is a tool for us to live the life we want to live. Being “rich” isn’t always monetary.  It could also be richness in your outlook and thinking.
  • Build the muscle of asking what YOU want, not what other people want. Keep asking “What do I want?” and give yourself permission to have it.
  • Be honest with yourself. The energy you free up will allow you to consciously manifest amazing things in your life.

Wise Words from Denise:

“People try to take the ‘action’ part of the book first without working on the mental, emotional growth. Your fear is real. The resistance feels real. Procrastination feels real. If you just sit back, you’re internalizing all of that; and you’re not giving yourself permission to figure out the cause of your money blocks. That’s why you need to do personal growth first. People think the universe will bring anything and everything to them after personal growth, but you have to meet the universe halfway and take action.”
