The Goods: Tax Season Edition 💸
Hey hey!
Another round of The Goods is here to serve up nourishment, delight, resources and insight. And because it's late March, I'm devoting this month's edition to T A X E S — yay!
Okay but seriously, here's what I'd love for us: to not let frustration, anger or victimization tangle us in knots this tax season.
I'd love to for us to meet our document organization, our submission deadline, and our tax preparers, with true equanimity.
I'd love for us to not take any of this dual-human stuff too seriously, because how you handle paying taxes actually matters way more in the grand scheme of things than how many dollars you owe or get back from the IRS.
What if... stay with me here... how you navigate and respond to tax season actually shapes your karma?
Food for thought.
Let's play.
[Playlist] Relaxing Mozart 🌼
Of course you probably know that classical music has powerful positive effects on cognitive function. Apparently it also can help lower blood pressure, improve memory and support our nervous system to relax into parasympathetic states. I've been loving this Relaxing Mozart playlist on Spotify. Great for listening while working on taxes, financial tracking, writing or other creative projects!
[Tapping Video] Taxes! With Brad Yates 🧠
{7 min watch} I recommend Brad Yates' tapping videos for all sorts of maladies and woes, emotional, financial or otherwise. If you find yourself wading through the tax bog and need a breath of fresh air, stop and give this a try. Note, this is not a watch-only situation, it only works if you do it. If you haven't tried tapping (aka EFT or emotional freedom technique), it's an effective method to get into your unconscious brain and shift the mechanics of your thinking. You don't need to know anything about the technique to dive right in.
[Audio] Florence Scovel Shinn Affirmations 💎
{8 hrs} Florence Scovel Shinn was an American artist and book illustrator who become a new age thought leader in the realm of intentions and manifestation. She wrote numerous books on the subject and you can find her work in various forms of media across the web. This recording is particularly lovely in my opinion, I find the speaker both soothing and yet striking. I hope at some point this season (or whenever you want a blast of uplifting mindbending prosperity mindset magic), you'll put this recording on and let yourself take it in.
[Toolkit] Sacred Money Mastery 🙏🏼
I just launched a brand new offering in the ecosystem of my work, and I am swooning about it. Is it silly to gush over a spreadsheet? I think so. How marvelous!

If you've struggled with money as a spirit-led human, this toolkit is for you. If you want to make more, spend less, or do both, this toolkit is for you. If you simply want to know what the hell is going on in your finances on a daily and monthly basis without total overwhelm, you guessed it! This toolkit is for you. It's $222, or two payments of $111, and includes a bonus live Q+A call on April 11th for all students who've purchased the kit before then. Read the details and buy the (life-changing) kit here.

[Song] No Sweat by me 💥
I've shared this many times before, but since I seem to field requests to sing it with folks on the regular, let's do it again!
Because hey, hey hey, you can do this!
Kate, all of this is but a dream! A beautiful, strange, wildly surreal dream. Row row row your boat....... May you steer your oars in the direction of truth and find amusement in the human drama of it all.

You're alive! Let's celebrate.
You are infinite and rich beyond measure,
