Christy Whitman, multi-time bestselling author and founder of the Quantum Success Academy, has always been enamored with the finer things in life, particularly designer bags. As a young woman, she promised herself she would reach a point where she would have total freedom to purchase and enjoy the things she wanted. Yet, when Christy finally reached the point where she could buy her dream purse, a nagging voice in her head told her, “That is so materialistic.” So, where was that voice coming from? Why did it feel “wrong” to enjoy something that served as a symbol of how far Christy had come in her life? It was this a-ha moment that served as Christy’s inspiration for her latest book The Desire Factor, in which she shows readers how to bring any desire into physical form without guilt. According to Christy, there is no limit to the amount of happiness we can experience, since the universe has the capability to bring whatever we desire to fruition. While many of us may have been taught to experience shame around feelings of desire, these desires are there for a reason, as they connect us to our divine selves! Tune into this episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch for a conversation with Christy Whitman about the spiritual power of desire. Learn how to embrace your materialistic nature, transform your feelings of limitation into feelings of abundance and master your energy so you can create a life that you love living! Quotes “In that moment, holding [the purse] that was such a symbol of success, hearing, ‘That’s so materialistic,’ I went, ‘It’s a material thing, yes, but how is that bad? Look who I became in the process!’” (7:22-7:34) “Having money is not the end all, be all. It's the feeling that money gives, the freedom, the security, the choices, the options. You get to be free to walk into a store if you want to or to give generously to a nonprofit. There's so many ways you can use money for yourself, but if we close off, we are closing off the opportunity to also give.” (14:04- 14:28) “Greed is the root of all evil, not money.” (16:22-16:24) “Those deep desires of wanting to have impact and create change are soul desires, and you cannot deny those because that will cause you to suffer.” (22:18- 22:30) Links Connect with Christy Whitman: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/christywhitmaninternational/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christywhitman1/ Website: https://christywhitman.com/ Follow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram Vanessa Shaw on LinkedIn https://businessgrowthacademy.com/ Join The Million Dollar Group on Facebook Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing
